Messing around with the fifty ford

I have been driving the ford up and down my street. It has a C4 transmission. I have a toque converter like the one in this link

Note the stall rating of 3000 rpm. This is good if you have to jamn on the brakes
while going down the hi-way. You won't kill the engine. But I having a hard time getting use to having raise the rpm to get it to start moving from standing still


From Wikipedia

Stall. The prime mover is applying power to the pump but the turbine cannot rotate. For example, in an automobile, this stage of operation would occur when the driver has placed the transmission in gear but is preventing the vehicle from moving by continuing to apply the brakes. At stall, the torque converter can produce maximum torque multiplication if sufficient input power is applied (the resulting multiplication is called the stall ratio). The stall phase actually lasts for a brief period when the load (e.g., vehicle) initially starts to move, as there will be a very large difference between pump and turbine speed.


I hope that me and Henry learn to get alone and find that this is going to be
a fun relationship.

I still have to buy him a tag

I been caching, I logged the

The Lazy Cacher

Here is what I said:

August 20 by johnnie (898 found)
I AM definately a lazy cacher too.
I didn't even sign the log.
If fact I didn't even open it.
Thanks for an easy find.

Here is an email from the guy:

Hi there,

I did see that you did not sign the log. Therefore there is no proof that you were actually there. I really hate to delete anyones logs, but before I do, I really need some sort of confirmation that you were there. Please e-mail me what color the 'Elias Nour Dr." sign is. Also, please let me know what color and shape the pole was that holds the sign. And please let me know what color the cap of the container is?

If you were not in the area yesterday and did not hunt for this one, Please remove or edit your log from a find to a posted note. I really had a good laugh when you posted it. [:)] There are other cachers that like to claim second to find. I hope that you understand. So if you did not hunt this cache, at least change it to a posted note to keep the comedy aspect of your comment alive.

Thanks

Carl


My answer:

seeing this was what I thought was a lazy cachers cache, I got it the lazy way.
So you do want people to get off their butt and go to stone mtn. Oh Well.

You may indeed delete my log, I had my fun. I enjoy reading to cache page
when it came online.

Thanks for the fun, and grins.



Who am I trying to be like but doing a very poor job of it?

I got to get some ink for the printer today. I took out some insurance for
henry yesterday totally on line. I had to take pictures and send them by
email, and some other paper work. I now have the policy, it will be mailed later,
but need to print
out the proof card. Need ink. I also got a new battery. I still need to go
and get a tag.

It is coming right along, on the road soon, maybe!!

This was said my some lady on TV, that just turned seventy.
I can relate to it myself!

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a life.

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.


I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Aint but three things in this world thats worth a solitary dime,
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime;
Now its old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes;
God bless little children while theyre still too young to hate

Stolen from Tom T Hall, heres another one!

I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks, slow-moving trains, and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams, sunday school in may,
And hay
And I love you too

I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends, birds in the world, and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass and I love you too

I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine, and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try, music when its good, and life
And I love you too

Caching Saturday was a fun filled day, with Slayerette. I had a ball. But I talk a little much, well I did about the going down hills that I knew we had to come back up.
I was actually enjoying the hike, but I was with some very caring people that was worried about me way to much. Next time I won't complain so much. It was a wonderful day with very good friends and I did have fun hiking and caching with them. I was not near as tired as I thought I would be. Thanks Buddie.
