maybe for a year just for the experience of seeing the bm time opposed to the rest of that year

Not one jot, not one tittle.

I could not possibly live in the area I grew up in, as I was raised on a variety of Navy bases. Went to 14 different schools before I dropped out.

TPBM still sees their second grade teacher around town.

Until I moved to SoCal, the above statement was completely true.

TPBM cannot remember the name of their second grade teacher.

I'm twitching over a large local grocery's $6 purple battery-operated Halloween LED light string to be precise, because battery-operated Halloween lights didn't used to be a THING . . . but I noticed that the Christmas light aisle is already populated too! Hmm. :shock:

The person below me is going to light themselves up with a different strategy next year.

Well this years strategy was "Fuckit" and that worked pretty well, so I might do it again next year, depends on how the budget is on being able to buy new El-Wire

TPBM doesnt like Halloween.

I do (well, most people anyway) but not everyone can tell a good story.

TPBM has some good suggestions for what do to on a beautiful springtime Saturday morning (which tomorrow is looking like being here).

Im reading "Chevrolet by the numbers" its a book about all the casting numbers for Chevys between 1958-1964. If you want to know if the cylinder heads you have are correct for a 1961 348, this book will help you identify them.

Nope. In fact I'm cranky because I want more suits, which means more dress pants.
