Closenberry:Frank, still owns the Ferrari? I thought he worked something out with Ferrari and dealer to get rid of it.
No we still have it unfortunately. The offer the dealer made was unacceptable, it's for sale currently.

CGX car nut:Watt, Our neighbor still has his King Air after adding a Falcon 900 LX to his stable to replace his Learjet. He said that plane is a longterm keeper.
He’s right about the King Air. I mostly travel regionally so I don’t need a jet w low head room, expense, maintenance etc. The King Air is a perfect mix of safety, reliability space and speed.
We did PT6A-42 engines producing 850 HP each. If you really want to hot rod, you can get 1000 HP each from a Black Hawk upgrade , essentially the engines from a Black Hawk helicopter. $$$$$!
The Crewe is Nordic with Madame, whilst DaDa is grounded - first for another amputation to cut away another bone infection, and then a hip replacement.
Enjoying the book inflow regardless. A wonderful FIRST EDITION of Satyrical Works of Titus Petronius Arbiter, printed in 1708, and bound by The French Binders. Just lovely.
Watt, I appreciate you sharing your health issues and the details, your attitude towards them is a source of encouragement and puts one's own age related malaises into a good perspective

What wonderful books Watt! Are these difficult to read?
When I was in my teens, I read some of the original Dutch translations of Conan Doyle's Holmes stories (around 1910). The language was a bit archaic, but still understandable. Reading books from the 1700s might be quite tough!
On a sidenote, wishing you all the best with the operations mate! May you recover swiftly and be able to go out into the wonderful wilderness again soon!
Cheers,

Haha!!
Thanks to all for the good wishes! Not difficult to read - just as your brain clicks after a while when you move from, say, USA to Eire it take a while to comprehend the English spoken - same with getting the rhythm of older written English.
And body wise: We're just moving along the bionic spectrum, removing odd bits and adding more Titanium, my favourite metal!!
My dear friend and role model just arrived in fancy garb - A Zaehnsdorf binding, with illustrations by the famous George Cruikshank:

Funny...this is how my kids call me as well...Dada.

watt:A glorious tale of the Wild Nautical Worlds:
Those illustrations are just fabulous. One forgets how much work was involved is creating visuals for books in days gone by.

Yes, Illustration was big biz pre computer, and guys like Cruikshank made $$$ deservedly.

How are the fog lights on the TTS ? You'll need them once passed the headwall ....

They seem ok in the gloaming
Design wise, they're optimised to look groovy, as opposed to cut fog, but maybe they'll cut dealer BS
BTW, I can just envision filling those 3 cooler openings in the bumper completely with snow... hey, they should offer a snow blower attachment!
Happy Birthday Sun Ra!!!
Our Lead Bitch Extraordinaire turned 13. Whilst she's been ill and needs the harness to get up, she's turned the corner and is ready for the track again. If you're on the track in deep snow in a blizzard, or after dark, you can count on her to get you through
