My stars. Looks like that livery and bodywork cost more than $500. Have fun and stay safe.

Good afternoon.

When we bought our house the previous owners left behind a trash compactor. It is heavy and ugly, so it stays in the garage. We throw our aluminum cans in it to crunch them down. When I have 4 bricks of cans I take them to the recycle. Today I took in my 4 bricks of cans and made $16.10. I stopped at the world headquarters of Sonic Corp for a cheeseburger. That cost me just under 6 bucks. It is 6.5 miles each way. At .75 per mile that is $9.75 so I made a quarter and got a free lunch!

My El Camino is cheaper than 75 cents per mile after 295,000 miles that would be almost a 1/4 million dollars. The real point is after a year of recycling cans I got a free burger & maybe a dollar.

Hey, you're right, Dave. Didn't recognize her at first with so much clothing on. My bad.

WTF? OK, I have to share this.

I was operating this afternoon. The rep for an orthopedic hardware company stopped by for one of the cases. Turns out there was a bit of miscommunication and I didn't intend to use her company's product, but she didn't know that until the case. Immaterial.

What's material is that afterwards we were talking about some of her company's products. I commented that there were some bone reduction clamps I was interested in getting, and she mentioned there was one she liked but didn't recall the name of. (Her company doesn't make it.) But, she had a pic on her phone and wanted to show me.

So she's flipping through her phone, which must have a couple hundred photos. As I was looking over her shoulder, I jokingly asked if there was anything embarrassing that I shouldn't see. Yes, she replied, but not particularly perturbed. At that moment she just happened to pass through the thumbnails of about 5 pics in a row of a clearly lingerie-clad female in Victoria's Secret type poses. Oh, just some pics from old modeling days, she comments nonchalantly, still looking for that photo of the clamp. Like I'm thinking about the clamp at all, now.

This girl falls in the kinda hot category. Mebbe 5'6", 125#, blonde. Nicely figured up top. Wish I had my camera with me today. I'll get a pic for you yet, Sid.

Later on we ended the conversation with her asking me out to dinner to talk about her company's stuff. I figured I could tell you guys about this, but not Mrs. Noah.

Evening guys.

I got my 911 cleaned up a little for the Hooter car show tomorrow. My car is invisible to the Hooters girls. No baby seat, and just a white coupe. They seem to like convertibles, especially the much newer cars. Many of the girls were not even born in 1985 so it is just an old car to them.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. First I go eat breakfast with the El Camino club, bail out of there and go straight to the Porsche club car show. I will have to drive the 911 to the El Camino club. Then I rush home, mow the yard and get cleaned up to meet my dad for dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Sunday is the PCA autocross. I need to squeeze in a an oil change on the Elky.
