I'm very happy that you're happy!

Good!!! Maybe we're doing something right.


I was given the glove box (not in the car) with a wee pile of papers-n-stuff for Super Fred. I reckon that I shall go through them and try to determine what someone else thought of it and what, if anything, they did. I also need to go to get copies of keys made. Looks like the 2 I have work the ignition and the trunk. None for the doors. I reckon I'll have to get a locksmith to come out and make me some keys because if the plunger gets pushed down and the door gets closed, I'll be calling one then.


The seller called me last night to make sure we got home okay and to inquire what's going to happen first. Funny he wants to keep up. Not bad for a Ford Guy . . . .

A sort-of new cat has taken up residence in the car barn Out West. The Landlady says that he's a nice boy. He's no Fred, but then, no one else is Fred either. She's doing fine as a house cat and she's now best buddies with the big Labrador girl. Alpha-to-alpha mutual respect, I guess.


His name is Sue:

I miss Fred but always get a chuckle out of what new people to the forum might think when her name pops up now and then in other threads. (Don’t forget you were trying to get some little parts for me from one of your cars!)

Been too damn long. Heading Out West in the morning. That'll take all day. I'm off next week, so there's that. I may have to fire up the latest car, the one from NY that I hauled out there last fall, and adjust its current mooring. We may fire up the little one and take it for a ride around the block. Going to look at an old backhoe for sale while I'm there. That will help a lot as it'll lift everything I need to, including rolling ancient rust buckets onto their sides so I can walk up to them instead of slithering under them. Safer and faster. Unless the backhoe is junk, we'll take it. And there's the south 40 and the west 40 to mow. There are new critters I haven't met, too.

That should help with the parts you were trying to get for me! Anyway, I hope you have a safe trip and my best to Fred.
