Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa!
No photobucket? Maybe the photo-walrus took it back.
The alternator on my car went out last night on my drive to choir rehearsal and I managed to limp into the church parking lot. So now I get to deal with getting back there, calling AAA, and getting towed to the shop we use. I don’t know what it’s going to cost, but it’s more than Mrs. Paddy wants to pay on a 17 year old vehicle. I’ve been looking for a new (or gently used) vehicle for a while, but just haven’t found anything I like that has good reviews and reliability and that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I know, I’m too picky. I’ve never been one for sedans, having driven small pick-ups or mid-size SUV’s since I first owned a car. All the crossovers look like mini-vans (shudder), and I don’t need a full-size pick-up. Oh, well. What’s a gerbil to do?
Bummer about your alternator, Paddy. What about a rebuilt one as a temporary fix until you find a newer vehicle you like?
Who (else) wants to see Paddy riding a Harley?
ME! ME! ME!
Q: Why did Yugos all have rear window defoggers as standard equipment?
A: So your hands didn’t get frostbitten when you pushed ’em.

Got the car towed into the shop and they’re taking a look at things.
In re the Yugo: Teh Younger is back from Cuba and said he saw an interesting mix of cars on the road -- ’50s American cars, Soviet-era cars, and new European luxury cars.
Cali -- Teh Younger went diving twice a day for most of his trip. The water was about 80°F and visibility was 30-60 feet.

Paddy, that sounds lovely! It would take a herd of wild horses to get me out of that water!
TGIF, GN!
It appears Photobucket is down as of this writing (which explains why there ain’t no thread pics).
Maaaaaaaan…I’m glad it’s teh end of the week.
I got nuthin’ else; BBL.

I’m not so sure about riding a motorcycle in SoCal traffic.
I suppose a T-34 tank would be out of the question?
