Sorry to cover up much better subjects with this. Oh, well. You may want to skip this one. Your call.
The auto fair had pretty good weather. Windy but not too hot or too cold. Goldie Locks wouldn't have approved. Maybe. Its always rainy, windy, hot or cold or a combination of them every time.
Again the sponsors seem to not be able to keep the toilets supplied with toilet paper. It's always a good idea to reach your hand up into the device to see it there is some before you settle down. Sometimes you forget to do so and you're left in a heck of a dilemma. What to do, what to do.
I glanced under the edge stall partican(sp). No one to the right and no feet to the left or right. I guess the word had gotten out or smarter potential patrons had checked before hand. I forgot to check beforehand. I hollered, "Hey, some body toss me a wad of paper." I was ignored or there was no one else around. It was ten o'clock at night.
Talk about taking the money and running. What could be the relative cost in keeping the toilets supplied? They could at least set a bucket of corn cobs (CCs) in each stall for emergencies. Back on the farm Sears or MW catalogs were the luxury even if a little slick. CCs could be a little rough especially on the "roids." Uncle Ed would know.
I have complained to the sponsor about this ongoing problem ever year, it seems. Complaints have obviously fallen on deaf ears. Last year I even told a nice lady about this embarrassing subject. She probably had a good chuckle after I left and then forgot about it. Enough about that. Always carry a wad with you. My solution was between using a wad of ones or pages from a paper-back library book. Cost will be about the same.
Bill Masters stopped by. Really nice guy.
Mike "Minetto" from NY came by several times. We has some nice discussions about the color of the sun visors on a 41 convertible. He said that he has become convinced that they were all covered in tan material, no matter the interior color. I, however, am not convinced that this is correct. Makes no sense to me. Maybe "New Yorkers" will believe anything!
I've got to check with Gene and some other experts on this. What say you DIZ? Don't respond here. That will be a subject for the Mrgoodwrench (GW) forums.
Chip Boyd stopped by for a moment. Said he just wanted to say hello. Didn't stay long. Lots of ground to cover.
Lost two grease cups on the trailer on the way to the meet. The same two I took off when checking the brakes. I put them on using a screw driver and a hammer. Snugged them right up flush with the hub. From the amount of grease slung out I think they fell off right away after starting out. A friend got me some and we used a piece of 2x4 and a hammer to seat them. Stayed on. Anyone ever have this problem and knows the trick (other than using the 2x4 to keeping them on. Mercy! Don't respond here. I'll ask in MrGW.
Thanks for reading,
Charlie
