Don't feel too bad about it FIT. The second day that I was sick, (a week ago) we had a blizzard. And my wife's jeep battery was dead-5 volts. So I fired up my 79 Cordoba (yes, it has Corinthian Leather) and charged it for a good 40 minutes before it would start. Every once in a while it just kills it's battery. I felt really good after spending the morning out there. Thought she was trying to kill me.

Sorry John, but you can't post incomplete info. The Cordoba has SOFT Corinthian Leather, not to be confused with Rich Corinthian leather. You need to be specific. The New Yorker had RICH Corinthian leather... :lol:

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

I take it you thought my advanced age would keep me from seeing this. :evil:
It looks like I'm going to have to have Louie make this a permanent sticky banner so that EVERYONE sees this each log in.
I shall now sing "Mwahahaha" to the tune of Jingle Bells, whilst doing the wicked winky dance. :banana:

Some one might as well get it because you, obviously, ain't usin' it.

:muahaha: :muahaha: :muahaha: :muahaha: :muahaha:

Congrats to ya, grandpa. Maybe some my adult kids will get their shat together and give me a grand kid or two also.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
