Going to go take pics

How much snow did you get Matt we got mostly rain here, I was in Buffalo NY area yesterday am I could not get loaded fast enough and get out of there they were expecting like 18-22 inches.
Officially we got 6.5 at metro airport and are now 3" from the all time record set in 1880-81. I'm surprised they're forcasting that much on the other side of the lake since all the lakes are basically frozen over.

Their forecast changed from winter storm to blizzard, I chained my crap down and hauled a$$ by the time I got to bradford pa changed to rain, I dodged a bullet. With over half of March left you guys will probably get that record ouch

Have you taken up snowmobiling yet?
 
Been years, this would have been the year to get into it though, except for the bone chilling cold.....no thanks. I'll stick to the indoor sports, like sex.
 
You do that Matt. (What else does one say to a comment like that) Ok. So I had a wonderful drive. I never knew that East Central Texas was so flat. I forgot to take the tripod and directions but made it out there ok. Let me start by saying....I wanted to cry as I was leaving. So many wonderful car that have been left to rot. There are a lot of do-ables out there but I can't understand why someone wouldn't take $50.00 just to give it a good home. Too late for most of these. Anyway, the family that owns this place are very nice Hispanics. The younger brother (63 y/o) drove me to the car that I really wanted to see. (39 Masters Deluxe) I will never have enough money to make this car whole again. Shame. I really wanted to take time and take pics but I realized that sitting in an area surrounded by cow patties and a big black bull staring me down wasn't the place I wanted to be at. Not that I mind cow dung...but that bull was uncomfortable with me around. Should have tried giving him a carrot or something. NOT. The gentleman drove me around till I saw a sedan I liked. Little rust, mostly intact. $1500.00. Nope, $500 maybe. I've been to Mexico and know how to barter. So he is driving me back to the other part of the property and I see a graveyard of about 50 engines...all different sizes. He says they are good, they just took them out of some of the cars they crushed. Holy cow! They had drive shafts, engines, seats, benches, hoods, transmissions, hub caps, rims, laying around everywhere. You mention it...I bet it is there. Now I know how you guys feel when you go to a place like this. It's very overwhelming.
 
They always make me sad, I think Will summed it up nicely in another thread and I see Ross's point also that there is a sort of disrespect for an old car, but I guess I see it that way because I'm a car guy, I don't care about a pile of junk washing machines but they are not that attractive also same as today's cars LOL. junkyard I got trans parts for had a whole line of trailblazers, who cares
 
Guys are born with a two genes that are in only one percent of the females.
An old car gene, and...
a 3 Stooges gene.
Find a gal with both and you got a keeper.

Then I am a keeper. Just found out that hubby has been offered a job in Leavenworth Kansas, at the NSC (national simulation center). I've never lived out side of Texas. What to think?
 
WTF
NSC develops the requirements and advocates integrated capabilities to train and develop Soldiers, leaders and units to achieve individual and collective readiness by:
  • Developing an Integrated Training Environment (ITE).
  • Developing requirements and championing capabilities for the ITE as well as Live, Virtual, Constructive and Gaming (LCVG) training enablers.
  • Supporting Army and Joint exercises.
I have no idea what they're doing.
The most advanced research I remember was trying to get us to eat those crappy sawdust encapsulated wax wafers.

Yup, he supports simulations. Pissed off N. Korea many times. I just don't know what it would be like to live out of Tx. It looks like this is a done deal. I thought today was a good day..but thinking about leaving TX is something different. I don't know how to do this....like I told my hubby 20 years ago...I'll follow you anywhere but only if we are married. Well, married for 17 years...guess I've got to follow.
 
I think she's been with the car longer than the hubby so I'm guessing the car and Marian are a package deal.

Leavenworth is fine as long as you are on the right side of the fence and not issued a sledgehammer
 
Time line for this move is around May. Crossing fingers that somehow this goes away before then. Yes, the car will come with me. I'm already looking at homes. Must have big *** garage. LOL Oh, and a fireplace. I'm posting some pics that I took..minus the old washing machine.

These pics are just the tip of the iceberg. There must have had at least 50 engines...just laying around. I needed to get out of the range of the bull, so I didn't get pictures of those. You guy's keep talking about "cross rams". I think there were at least two of them. That was only one of many trans piles. I know I shouldn't do this but I have to post 2 more pics.
