I hear some folk cook their salmon on a plank!?! 🤣🤷‍♂️

Nice old thread… must admit retirement has me getting soft in the belly… 😕

Lucas Electrics are why I worked on my Jag XKE three days a week to drive it the other four!!! That and high humidity corroding connectors…

Young ones who moved in next door are weekend party types often loud till late at night 😕 The wife drinks to excess. We came home from a memorial where Karen played piano for the service. When this woman saw us all dressed up she drunkenly shouted, “Guess Pat is getting some tonight”… they’ll be...

I heard Joseph Lucas had like five or six daughters and his motto was, “ Be home before dark”!

Magneti Marelli electrics! I used to swear at them with my 124 Spyder, too… the poor man’s Alfa.

Speaking of Knipex: An older arborist from down in Maryland who I climbed for years ago - a bit of a Luddite (slow to accept cell phone, computer, etc) came to see my art exhibit and said he was online watching this arborist out West speaking about cabling and bracing of trees. He then said...

Bark exfoliation - happens about the same time here. What's more visually troubling is seeing the ones with anthracnose lose all of their leaves, but they sprout out again... hasn't done the old ones that line the roads here any real harm so far.
