Just got back from a 3 day trip to the Finger Lakes in New York. I'll catch up on posts later tonight.

Hello, I was looking to see if anyone had the radio shack teardrop antenna base and what the measurements were for it? I have seem some pictures of it and some look way too big and some look way too small, thank you for any help

I guess 1880s is historic where you live, Roger. The castle where I live is only about 700 years older than that!

Your two posts remind me of one of the reasons I hate to travel. The only bad traffic we went through was Buffalo. We took the scenic route home though. We stayed at a place called Belhurst Castlle....not a real castle by your standards Hoss but pretty cool by America's standards. We had a dinner cruise out of Watkins Glen, the NASCAR town. It was our silver anniversary.

Found out something new about the wife's car yesterday. Apparently there were two suspension options for it, softer suspension for more of a luxury ride and a sporty suspension. Hers has the luxury ride suspension. I took the car yesterday morning to get the rear springs replaced since the right rear one is broken but the auto parts store shipped the sporty springs to the mechanic. Hopefully they ship out the right springs this time, just sucks that we have to wait another week for them to get in. Almost didn't make it there yesterday morning. Some crazy old man was doing 50mph in a 65mph zone on the interstate and decided he needed to get off at the next exit. It was bad enough that this was also where I475 & I75 merge together and he was already in the far left lane. I moved over when I got a break between traffic. He just, uncaring for the speed everyone else was doing, moved on over. The semi on the left of me had to slam on the brakes to avoid running into the back of him then the nut comes over in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes and prayed the semi truck driver behind me was paying attention, thank God he was. And this crazy old fart was driving a tin can death trap Chevy Aveo. In a car like that I wouldn't be taking chances with my life like that. I told my wife about it and she said that same nut almost caused a huge accident a few weeks ago on I475 riding in the fast lane at 50mph. Tuesday while heading home I seen a pile of free things set out after a weekend garage sale, scored a his and hers cross country ski's set, even included the ski carrier for the roof of a car. I usually don't stop at those piles as they're usually just junk but seen the ski's so I doubled back and I'm glad I did. Ski's just need some new boot holder things but other than that they're in great shape, no breaks or cracks.

Word out of Detroit is the next Camaro will be a 4 door electric sedan possible crossover like Ford did with the Mustang. Rumors say the last year for the current Camaro is 2023. With Malibu production ending in 2022 this will leave Chevy without a ICE car in 2024 to use for Nascar unless Nascar changes it's rules.

Happy 95th Heavenly Dukes of Hazzard Birthday today to James Best(Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane)! 7/26/26!

they are showing the first Reunion on CMT on new years eve and a marathon of the dukes all that weekend too. YEEHAW!

OMG i can't believe he was 70. Wow i used to watch Gilligan's Island all the time. Poor Bob Denver

Radar totally! He's so cute! Very "Enos" like, except he gets "slinked" in one episode, which is kind of left up to the imagination, and is a bit more...girl crazy...in earlier episodes (i.e. the hole in the nurse's shower). We also like Klinger and his collection of fabulous gowns and line of reasons why he should be out. Of course, everybody loves Hawkeye and his sidekick, Trapper or B.J. They had some of the best one-liners. Frank: I know I'm a real asset to this outfit. Hawkeye: You're only off by two letters.

I nearly witnessed a nasty head-on crash last week. We have a lot of tractors on the road at the moment with the inevitable queues behind them. As I was on my way home for lunch, I got stuck at the back of one of these queues. About six cars got past on a straight section of road and then next in line was a semi with a lime tanker. He decided he could pass on the next really short straight, but spotted a car coming the other way as he drew alongside the tractor. The truck must've cut back in with inches to spare to the tractor, and the car had to brake hard and pull into the verge to miss it. The really stupid thing is that the tractor pulled in about 100 yards later to let the traffic past. Knowing the road, I was expecting that, but I guess the truck driver didn't know!

Another icon from Television History has left us... R.I.P. Robert (Bob) "Gilligan" Denver.
