Red River Motors annual yard party this Sunday

[Igor Loving]

Grandkids what are they.......My kids are well past 30 and no one is even 
considering doing that sort of thing much less getting into some sort of 
strange marriedness.


Aloha:
Igor

>Mike:  Wish that I could but having Grandkids over and we are going 
fishing, sorry I've already promised.  As to projects, I found a 49 Ford 
Convertible that I want so bad I can taste it.  No ve-heck-iles in drive way 
at present, wouldn't mind having Hersch old Van that was near melted in the 
fire but he won't even discuss it, in fact tears comes to his eyes when 
mentioned.  Right now I'm busy filling the freezer with fresh fish for the 
long hot summer ahead.........Amigos, WS
