Re: Working Man's Burbon

I was out at Eagle Creek and noticed this street sign so I had to stop and get some pictures.

Thanks! The truth is the truck was filthy dirty at the time but I had to take some pictures as the street sign is my last name. It's not a common name and I'd never seen it on a sign before.

Re: Working Man's Burbon

In my pipe dreams for White Fang's* resurrection, I've been musing about how cool it would be to have electric windows on Door # 3 and Window #4. Hot day, let the back windows down for the 4-40 upgrade to System 2-40 Air. Yeah, it would be cool.
If it all worked smoothly, all the time, that is.
But dealing with the screwy door and window switch wiring on my recently acquired 2003 Tahoe gives me second thoughts about electric Anything, except headlights.
Keeping the crank-up windows in the front at least.

[*White Fang is a '67 K/10 Suburban that got ''totaled'' on paper by mainstream insurance and stuck with a Salvage Title over 20 years ago. It has the status of a ''someday project''.]

Fortunately I'm still limber enough to reach around and roll the 4th door window down at a stop light. However the 3rd door window has gotten so stiff when I tried to lower it last week I thought I would break something so I gave up. It's nice to get that 4-40 air conditioning. I guess it's time to take it apart for cleaning and lubrication.

Makes you wonder how things like that can start having problems for no reason at all.....

Being that it's NW Oregon I'm betting it's moss growing in the window channel .

By the way did you get my email?
