when i grow up i want be like Carl, hell i want to be half as Good as Carl when im his age!!!
This man impresses me almost daily with his stories and how busy he stays!!!!
GO CARL!!!!!!

 

+1 here.

 

He's definitely on the "people I want to have lunch with one day" list.

 

Just love reading his posts with the old world tags...go Carl!!

 

his memory is amazing, altho me and him kick it up a notch every so often, i'm not far behind him in years!

basicly we grew up in the same car generation, him born 1929,, me in 1934, so as teenagers the cars we had were close, so mods were almost the same,etc,etc.

 

A repository of wisdom for sure.

 

+1 from me also.

Carls responses cover it all, no frills, just good old common sense.

As he has mentioned many times, "the basics are the basics" and that is so true.

 

Yay Carl!

 

Wow!!!


Thanks, gentlemen. Early to rise and early to bed is the way I go nowadays.


Coco and I out first thing, usually dark. Then he eats and I have coffee and a bit of toast. House chores first.


Then out. Yard work. Shop tinker. errands.


PM's off for the day after lunch. Couch potatoe time, actually a comfy recliner....
Read and TV at the same time.... Left from my did days. Did home work while listening to the radio. My parents were amazed. Multi tasking...


Kinda like out cars. We gotta stay in the game.

Carl caught my attention when he mentioned Zephyr gears in a Ford transmission!

I'll see what I can do. My dear departed was in to poodles. Our first was Demitasse.
His family had issues and he had to go??? His human Mama cried as we took him.
He wasn't a "tea cup" and a bit fussy, but he tolerated us.


Then Demitasse passed, he was an old guy


Wifey was ill and in bed. So, son and I went shopping and found Bentley. A really little guy. Jumping to escape the baby play pen that housed him and siblings.




















We bought him. He came home. Easily presented to wifey in two cupped hands.


Post oddities, more later....


Carl

 

Let's see. Duke was the last little guy of Poodle heritage. Wifey got him at a local shelter. Adopted, no, not quite, more like confiscated ! A strong gal, used to getting her way. In this case the yearling white poodle.

I wish, or do I?? Naah, hair gone grey/white, but still plentiful. Bearded nowadays. Tired of the razor. HF sourced clippers much easier from time to time, every day, naah
And a much larger waist. Circa 27" then! Now, I ain't telling.


Had me a mess of fried oysters Sunday. Great brunch fare. A few pats of salt free butter in the iron skillett. Wrm it up a bit, not too hot. dump in a jar of oysters. Slice in to chunks with a knife as they cook. Three or four minutes is fine. Crack and dump in three eggs. Stir well to break up the yolks. Cook til the eggs are no longer watery. Add salt and pepper while they cook. Serve up on a plate. Add a few dashes of Tabasco. As they cook, toast up some raisin bread. Not too much. Slather on some more of the butter, warmed atop the toaster. Enjoy.....
