How's the view???........

[dilligaf]

Here's some stats on the vette: Chevy 283 (rebuilt), 4 speed, 4 b Edelbrock, Olds rear end 241, changing it though to a 355. The 241 is to high geared. The way it sits right now, it will do 65 in 3rd gear but it is very hard on the clutch getting going.

Yea, we found the tag for the plate. Once the rear end is done, (going in this week) and we get it put back, we'll be able to take it out for a drive.

Hey Pobre, what translation are you going for? Poor (common translation)? Miserable? Unfortunate? Just curious.

What you term [I say that, because I don't which is common and which isn't....my knowledge of the language doesn't extend that far] the common one, as in "poor". And I prefer "Karl" over "Charles" or "Charlie" for the second part. All just a silly [and probably incorrectly expressed] reflection of attempting to learn Spanish on my own over the last two or three years, while at the same time mirroring what [little] German I still retain. In short, no real significance; just another handle.

BTW, you *DO* have a car there don't ya'? Congrats!

Interesting combination, Spanish and German.


Thanks, it is one of a few that we have. 2 Harleys, 49 GMC 1/2 ton, 58 Chevy 5T flatbed, 82 Chevy Malibu Classic 49,000 original miles, a backhoe and my 06 GMC. We do not lack for things to drive.

Geez Over, hunting squirrel with an 00 6, isn't that a bit of over.............kill!

Extreme close-up makes it look big. It's really a .22 magnum, great varmint gun!

Darn chipmunks are overrunning our birdfeeder, trying to thin out the herd!

 

[dilligaf]

LOL I sure hope you don't have neighbors very close. I still have not had time to take my new rifle out and shoot it yet.

 

[over9five]

Whacha got? Whacha got???

Savage 17HMR. It's a beautiful rifle, got it for my b-day. It's been bore sighted but we haven't had time to take it out and fine tune it. It would work well for what you are doing. Good for 100 yds or so. Great varmit gun.

You got a gun for your birthday and are happy about it? If I would have done that during my marriage she may very well have loaded it and set the sights on me.

I live in the forest. There's no open 100 yards. If you need help with that fine tuning, we could come over, bring a few guns, some beeyah. It'll be great!

My DW's ex gave her a .357mag pistol for her Bday one year, the following Christmas a matching .575mag lever action rifle. She was ok with it though. When they divorced, the only thing he got mad about not getting were those two guns. The pistol shoots really well, haven't had a chance to try the rifle yet.lol
I've read and heard good things about that 17HMR load.

I would love that. Shooting first, beeyah latah!

Absolutely, I was happy with it. I was tickled pink.

Like I said, it's a beautiful rifle.

From the pictures I have seen of your place an 06 probably couldn't get out.

Wanna sell that old GMC p/u?

If the price is right!

 

[Cementups]

Damn, I don't llike that answer.

 

[dilligaf]

Damn, I don't llike that answer.

There have been quite a few questions like that Cement. To date, no one has offered enough money.

 

[MechanicForBrown]

Wouldn't pay more than 10-13k for that truck! But the 2 are in very good shape!
