Anyway, I've had in the back of my mind this particular character in the comic strips from the '60s... couldn't remember his name... until this morning... A friend at work reminded me of this today. Does anyone remember Joe Btfsplk from Lil' Abner? A dark cloud followed him wherever he went. And all this time we've been blaming Mr. Murphy some of this... Joe Btfsplk : http://www.lil-abner.com/joealb.html http://www.lil-abner.com/familyalbum2.html Thankfully, no one on this list has it quite as bad as poor Joe... ;) btw, got my alarm system to quit locking me in... ;) next, a/c functioning (not a high priority, it's 57 outside), cruise and then of course the motor mounts... :) taking the WJ to boise... 8 hrs in Omega the Thunder Brick isn't really an option at this point... need the a/c and cruise at the minimum. ;) Would love to take the 300D at 35+ mpg, but those seats would cripple us... so, the WJ with it's well supported leather seats wins again... :) (Need to get a pair of tan leather WJ seats for Omega. ;) I hear there is sunshine in Boise... not sure if we're really ready for it. :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com john's 6.2L GW: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL Synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:37:47 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: [db] on the road... heading to Boise to teach a Linux class... http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/06-Jun-14-Snohomish-Pendelton/ check out the early father's day card... :) The WJ is getting 20.61 mpg so far... kind of surprised...
