Cars - Boats - Girls

I finally got around to washing my Darango this weekend. It has been a very long time. When it dries it water spots so I typically use my leaf blower to dry it (sort a like a blow dryer). I didn't feel like doing that so I found an old chamois that I use to use on the 2000 Plymouth Prowler I had. The last time I used the chamois was in November 2004. Wow, what a memory I have. Not really, I looked up when I sold it. :).

It made me think back to the Hot Rod/Cruising days and I kind of miss it.

That was one "Cool" car for cruising.

Next I changed the oil on three engines for Lights Out, the boat. 15-quarts of oil and three filters later I was done. I feel pretty lucky that I can still do this work at my age.

Here I am in the engine compartment. When I took the picture, I didn't realize the sun was washing out my face.



Finally, I have been trying to meet a female companion in my age group that I can share some of my boating and other adventures with. As some of you know, I have been on Match.com. I check out the ladies profiles to see about compatibility and of course the photos. We correspond through email for a while then talk on the phone and if there is an interest on both sides we set a date.

I had a date Saturday evening with someone I met on "match" and she even lived in Guntersville. According to her photo, she was gorgeous for being 55 years old. I met her at the "Boon-Docks" Sports Bar and Grill as it was on the water and a nice view of the lake.

When she came in I did not recognize her based on the photo she had in her profile. Here is the "match.com" photo.

Here is what she really looked like!!!

Ugggggggggg!!!!! Now I had to feed her. $50.00 later we departed and I said I would call her some time. I didn't tell her precisely what time but I think it will be 2054! She said she didn't have any "RECENT" photos to post in her profile.

This has happened to me several times. Why can't these ladies be honest? I'm no "Spring-Chicken" but at least I put a current photo of me in my profile. I'm pulling the plug on "Match.com". It just ain't-a-gona-work-for-me.

These are all the words I have to say for now...Goodbye!
