What a cool car!

-Kathy

Thanks. You started with some cool vehicles too - for a girl. I meant no offense, it is just that a motorcycle and a 3/4 ton pickup are not what most women choose for their first 2 vehicles.

I'll try to find some pictures of some of my other vehicles. That may take a while. Not that long ago, there were 11 or 12 cars in the driveway.

Thanks; she was my baby; wish I still had her

There are several I wish I still had. The '60 AH Bugeye Sprite comes to mind.
Mine was just like this except the stripe was black and it had wire spoke wheels.
That would be worth some cash today.

Some people even COOK in the compost pile

I've heard of that. Pretty low temp for some foods though.

I've heard of people cooking meals wrapped in foil sitting on the top of the engine while they tool along the highway.

That too. I've even witnessed it. Wrap up a breakfast burrito stick it on the engine and it is ready to eat halfway to work.

I always loved convertibles. If not counting trucks, at least half my cars were convertibles. The biggest gas hog was my '62 Oldsmobile Super 88. I didn't drive it much. If I floored it, I could watch the gas gauge drop. After the free '55 chevy, the first car I bought was a '50 Dodge convertible Wayfarer Sportabout. It had been parked behind a hardware store for years. The store owner wanted $50 for it. By the time I scraped the $50 together, he apparently felt sorry for me and gave it to me for $25. I must have been a pathetic individual back then. Mine wasn't in this good of condition but the color was the same. Assuming the pile is big enough (the bigger the pile the quicker it will break down), if turned frequently and kept at the appropriate moisture content, it could be ready for the garden in 3 months but because I'm not diligent enough, it takes more like 5 or 6 months. A pile can easily get too wet or too dry. Most years I have to water it in mid summer and fall. I have gutter on one of my chicken coops and pipe the water to the first 2 piles so they in effect get about twice the rain than would normally fall on them. If we're getting a lot of rain, I cover them with tarps so they don't get saturated. When saturated, the aerobic bacteria (the kind you want) dies off and is replaced by anaerobic bacteria and that is what causes it to stink. The more you turn, the more air you bring into the pile. That air, a good mix of green to brown matter and the right moisture creates a perfect environment for bacteria and rapid breakdown. On occasions, in the middle of winter when they're covered with snow, I can stick my thermometer in there and it will be 150F.

I am lazy. I feed my cows in a spot all winter, put the round bales for next winter on that spot. Then I feed to one side or the other. In the spring the bales are gone, I harvest the black dirt, rotate and repeat.Yes, HI was vacation.

Afternoon all... I'll jump in on the dating question...

13 is too young. All these kids saying they have a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend', and all I can think is they have NO idea what that really even means. My daughter will not be allowed to date until she is 16 and it will be supervised at that point. I will discourage dating until she is 18. At 13 a kid's attention should be on their schoolwork, not on dating. They are still kids and should enjoy being just that, a kid!
