[TheForge] our typical Maui Christmas Card!

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Are you saying that you actually have a heater in your truck?
Such a frivolous luxury!
 i have a heater core for my truck now..It's been very happy in it's box,
and someday i'll install it.
Setting up to squish some 7/16 plate around for the next framing bracket arm for the house here.
It'll be welded to a double post cap, have 10 arms and weight a couple of hundred pounds or more.
The posts were once 12X12 s that were the deck of a steam-scooner They spent 100 odd years on the beach.
That area is now state park and i can't cut any more parts of the wreck loose, winch them up the cliff and across 200' of soggy grassland.
Awww...there were some neat parts still left on the beach.

No thanks, I owned an Apple once and was sorely disappointed on a couple counts. First it was way too expensive and was a serious downgrade from my Commodore 64. Then there was finding software for it, anything Apple was several times as expensive and all too often not as powerful, flexible or useful as the PC compatible stuff. Seriously, I can buy a new dual core laptop with several gig of ram and a couple terabites on the C: drive for less than a new Iphone. I'm not one to trade quality for ease unless it's an extreme example. Then again, I have a friend who's a master at computers so I can get the little crap straightened out for reasonable.

Whadda I need a radiator cap for? It's until times like these I forget you live where you do, you usually seem like perfectly . . . regular people. how's about THAT, I didn't use the dreaded "normal" word! Anywho, here in country that enjoys a real winter we often like to use a device common to most vehicles that not only keeps our tootsies comfy but clears the fog, ice and such off the windows.
