Re: 1973 Blue Bird

Last I heard from Rudy he was scrambling to find work and income. Don't know if he is still up in Missouri or elsewhere. His buddy that was doing the underground house build hit a temporary dead end on the project due to lack of funds, so perhaps they are both turning thier attention and direction t...

This appears to be good news! I hope we can get back to the old forum format, which was familiar and easy to find one's way around in. I am glad Stuart has 'volunteered' for this rather large task. I am just glad someone can pull this off and get us all back to normal- whatever that is for some of u...

If Sharkey was just doing some housecleaning, why didn't this thread get swept away? It would appear that it is certainly more offensive to some then topic threads such as 'A funny thing happened' and such- or, how about topic threads like Sharkey's stories about his younger days living in a house t...

Maby Sharkey fell ill or something? Why have we not heard anything from him yet? It seems out of character for him to just up and quit us without saying something.

Sharkey, where ever you are, please come back and bring your old website with you! :wink:

I hope the original Sharkey website can be brought back to the way we knew it. I liked going back over old topic threads, and seeing pictures etc. Maby I am just a sentimental old geezer, but I liked the way things were on the old original Sharkey website. This new format is just not right! :cry: I ...

Rudy, will Sharkey get the forum back up and running again this fall or winter? I know the feeling of having to scramble for work and income, and with having to 'make hay while the sun shines'. I have been quite busy this summer and don't have the same amount of time I do in the winter to peruse the...

With the price of scrap metal going higher every day here in the states, you have to weld, glue, cement, chain, lock, and nail everything down and even then the scumbags find a way to walk off with it. You need a sign that says "Sure, you can run off with my stuff punk- but can you outrun a .45...

Sometimes 'bus fever' can distort our perceptions and warp our common sense. A good rule of thumb says take a few days to mull it over, add up all the costs of fixing it and decide if you can do the work, and if you really want to do the work. Tires will most likely need replacement. Muffler? Batter...

Stuart, you forgot to tell us metrically challenged North American Gringos how to convert metric to feet. 4.25 meters- is that about 14 feet? That's the standard height limit for OTR trucks over here, without special permits and routing for special roads of course. Do the New Zealand truck laws allo...

How do we solve our country's illegal drug problems? Why just put the federal government in charge of smuggling and selling illegal drugs. :shock: In no time the whole system would come crashing down, and no one could make sense of it, or figure out what to do. Even hard core druggies would get so f...

The dead horse plan

If you don't understand the government's economic plan, or any other government action that defies common sense, then you haven't been paying attention to current federal bureaucracies. Now the tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you di...

Sharkey must be doing some updating and housecleaning. Or trying to free up some website space by getting rid of old, obsolete or outdated materials.

Even steel toed boots can fail you sometimes! Case in point- a while back I was cutting apart some steel to salvage it for projects. I decided that since I was going to be cutting it apart with my plasma arc cutter, that maby I should wear my good work boots with the steel toes, mostly tho just to k...

Everything seems to work fine with me, just a little slower then usual, but that may just be my internet connection. I wonder if it would work faster or better for you if you 'signed up' and then signed in as a member instead of a guest? Maby your internet connections are restricting you as to what ...
