The "Whatever" Thread

[Crag the Brewer]

Sent prayers.....but a few days late. Oops.
Glad you are doing Well.

I was talking about ya on another thread....

 

[cbach8tw]

Hope you’re better soon.

 

[JK Knives]

Thanks for everyone caring. All of my friends in my area that I used to hang out with have either moved away or passed away, so except for my family you all are the only communication I have, it’s greatly appreciated.

 

[Simplejack]

I don't hope, I know you'll be up and walking around soon.

I think you should get some different parts, you are still under warranty for such a classic. Finding parts are harder to come by though…got,to be some new old stock.

 

[JK Knives]

Have to check the scrapyard for parts!

Ditto for me too. Take care of yourself.

The scrapyard comments conjured up images of an aging Steve Austin heading to the local pick-and-pull. John can be the new 6 million dollar man!

Self-serve junk yards seem to have faded away over the years. I kind of miss scavenging for parts (well, at least here in WA - wasn't as much fun in snake, insect, and arachnid infested areas, we only had yellowjackets to contend with). I recall hunting around in TX and MT, and giving the rigs a few good whacks before venturing under the hood or into the cabin, and even then being surprised every now and then.

There are still a few junkyards in our area, my granddaughter’s husband is a gearhead, and goes to them.
That was one of my favorite shows!

We had a few of those around my former area of residence. I also watched the $6 Milli0n man, I had the figure and space ship toys.

I never had any of those action figures, when that show came on tv in 1974, I was almost 21 years old.

They stood about 11 to 12 inches tall, you could look through an eye in the back of his head to simulate his bionic eye, and he had a ratchet arm you pump up and lift an engine. I got a robot was used as his enemy ( there was a robot in the tv series) that had several masks you could put on his face to play a double as Steve or Oscar Goldman, and I got arms for Steve that I put on him, they had rolled up plastic skin for a diving mask and a ray gun, inside compartments in the arm. His rocket ship also unfolded to become an operating table.

I’m home, and seem to be doing fine, just a bit sore.

Considering everything.....that's good! Smoke and prayers for continued improvement.

Haven't been around here much lately, but glad to hear you are doing OK John.

 

[JK Knives]

Everything is happening at once, our sweet girl Polly crossed the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. Rest In Peace sweet baby girl.

 

[Grateful]

Sorry for your loss. Looks like a sweet one.

 

[JK Knives]

She was a sweet girl, she would have been 12 next month. We have lost four dogs in four years, it never gets easier.

 

[bikerector]

Sorry to hear John.

 

[Grateful]

It definitely doesn’t. They are worth it but it sure does hurt. We lost two senior dogs and a middle aged cat in 2025 and I’m still not over it. Hang in there John.
