Re: Test
Dennis: Those stories about you building those two sports cars are pretty interesting. I cannot imagine how one would go about doing that (or WHY they would, for that matter). Or, why someone would sell a car...in pieces.

There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: Test
Why does that photo remind me of Susie sitting in my lap?
One of these days soon I should fire up my 35mm slide scanne and convert my slides of old cars etc. into digital format. Isn't it odd how our photo collections are split into "digital" and "pre-digital" sections?

Re: Test
Well here's the photo of my 1959 Austin-Healey "Bugeye" Sprite showing me at right with the car's designer, Geoff Healey, standing at left. Photo shot at 1988 Healey meet at Mt. Hood Oregon.
Here's my Westfield clone of a Lotus 7.

 I hope you didn't build that yourself from parts!
Hmmm...let's see. You were jonesing to hear Richard Rogers' score to Victory at Sea in an authentic setting?
BTW, those are a couple of very small cars...

Re: Test
I embarked on USS Long Beach CGN-9 as part of Battle Group Sierra, the first battle group to depart the US on "business" in decades which was built around a battleship and not a carrier. The USS Long Beach departed San Diego in July 1987 and the USS Missouri BB-63 departed the port of Long Beach at the same time. That shot was taken as USS Missouri came up on our port quarter in mid-Pacific to do an underway replenishment operation. The two ships sail side-by-side 50 feet apart, throw over lines and hoses, and transfer stores, personel, and fuel without stopping.
Battle Group Sierra was enroute to the Persian Gulf as part of the weekly crisis there, ready for combat. The USS Long Beach was the admiral's flag ship and I was aboard as a tech rep for the use of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The photo is crummy as I took aboard an auto 35mm camera and the weather was odd that day. Here's another photo with the USS Missouri and several other ships all steaming into harm's way - with me aboard.
The USS Missouri fires a shell that weighs more than my Lotus 7 clone.

Re: Test
Well Susie and Dukie are settling in as pals these days. Here they are quietly sharing the kitty equivalent of a bong: a potted catnip plant.

Re: Test
Nice.
So I'd have to have a bong to being having as much fun as they, eh?

Re: Test
Somehow fresh catnip is more potent than the dried stuff you get in the pet stores. The garden sections around here are selling herbs at close-out prices so you can pick up a catnip plant for $2. Of course, they don't last long in this house.  I generally pick up a potted catnip plant once or twice a year as a special treat. The cats will shred it down to the bare stems in about an hour.
I've talked with my vets about it, and you can't OD on catnip. Moreover it isn't a bad plant to eat as a digestive.
The major point however is that Susie and Dukie are getting along pretty good these days. I only brought Dukie home on the 3rd of June so this is quick progress. He's becoming a lot less agressive than he was at first and actually has learned to relax and enjoy a tummy rub, rather than chewing on my arm.
