hi,this is our home.at the end of the front lawn,we can go right down onto the beach and that's Chignecto Bay,part of the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic ocean.we have about 8 acres here and my dad was born right across the road.there used to be a big wharf with some fishing boats,just to the left of our place but mainly built to ship coal.the wharf and boats are gone.we can see boats in the night,all lit up way off to the west but they could be from a place called Advocate,Nova Scotia or across to New Brunswick which is about 12 miles across the bay. folks all around here fish for sea bass from the beach.they are a beautiful silver fish with pure white flesh and great eating.they fight like crazy.i forget exactly the rules but they have to be 28 or 30 inches long or you have to throw them back,too young.they come close to shore on the high tides,chasing little fish and when the tide goes out,they do til next time.i have a picture somewhere of my dad with 2 on the kitchen floor,about 4 1/2 feet long

Had to rig up a fan for my Chevelle . One of The Flex-a-lite fans crapped out dead short really heated up the wire too smoke coming out from under the hood . Called Dewitt radiators about it because it was their setup . They put a 30 amp fuse with 10 wire from the battery in the harness and it’s connected to a 12 to the fan from the relay . That’s the wire that melted before the fuse finally blew out. Long story short they stopped using those fans and changed to Spal . Guy says that I should have gotten an email to change the fuse to a 20 amp .

Replacement motor 6 weeks out so I just took a motor and fan from one I had laying around on a shelf. Worked out well just a few mods to make it work . But the good news is that they gave me 20% off my next order so I ordered the 2 row 1.25 inch tubed HD rad as the car was running warm at highway speeds . A/F mix spot on and timing advance also so it pointed to the old 2 row 1” rad was a tad to small for the new engine

my wife's sister is visiting from Calgary,Alberta so yesterday we took out the old wagon for a Sunday drive and played tourist,stopping at the coolest Ford dealership there is,Sargent's Ford in Parrsboro,Nova Scotia.the place is full of old gas pumps,signs,neon clocks,old pictures and everything cool.sorry for the glare off the glass,they weren't open of course so that was the best i could do.

I did nothing. Just let the phone ring. I was numb.

My brothers girlfriend called me and told me that my brother had died suddenly. Totally unexpected. I had just talked to him and he was fine. We talked the same old BS as usual.

When his girl called me last night. I immediately knew something was wrong. She never calls me. Especially late at night.

She said that he fell asleep in front of the TV and never woke up.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 
Thanks guys. It was a shock. I lost my mom about a month ago. That really wasn't a surprise. She was 91 and in very poor health. This time it was different. He was only 66 and never drank or smoked a day in his life. He was very health conscious.

I still don't know what happened. I've been contacted by the medical examiner but they just asked me questions and didn't tell me anything.

It's ironic. My father died the same way. Sitting in his chair watching TV.

I think that I'm going to sell my TV.
