To those lady members and Wives and Girlfriends of our members, have a Happy Mother's Day. Behind every one of us is a Mom who unselfishly gave her time and love to make sure we turned out right, and we thank all of you for that.

Don

Happy Mothers day to all you Mothers out there.
HE! HE! HE! That just don't sound right.
Allready talked to my mother, gonna order her some food from her favorite
restrant. Since she is in a wheel chair, she does not get around very good
and she will enjoy it. Best way they say to a man's heart is food and cars, this also goes for some Mothers like mine. Mom always had a converable to cruz down the Las Vegas Strip in when we were kids. Those were some good times cruzing in mom's convertable listening to the radio, with the hot wind in your face. And comming home for lunch from school to eat grilled chez and tomato soup and watch soap's on TV.
What's your memories of you and your mom.

Hmmmm........think I'll just leave that one alone for today.....

Even after 60+ years in this country Mom's Italian accent is thick enough to cut with a knife. Fond, fond memories of food of the Mediteranian variety and the nuturing. Happy day to all the Mothers out there.

What? You off the clock today or something?

Don

Maybe he's one of those kids the parents feed with a sling shot!!!
Just kidding Bob, HE! HE! HE!

Happy Mother's day all. For those of us whose mom's are no longer with us, cherise the time with your mom while she is alive.

On behalf of my Mum, A exlarge hug and kiss from my mum down here in NZ. I cooked her special dinner last night of lamb shoulder chops and roast vegies followed by a nice cup of tea. She is thrilled when I read out these posts, so thank you guys,you all made my mum happy.

Whiplash, I hope you explained Bob to your Mom.........that he's kinda "special." Wouldn't want her thinking you were mixing with a bad bunch on here or anything.

Don

Well Don,it is like this, my mum has taken a certain dislike to seeing my laptop open at the breakfast table. She gets rather upset to find that it is still turned on with my face stuck to it in the evening,but she likes it when I give her feed back from you guys. I know I should be out in the garage working on the bucket but I'm in too much pain with my knees awating knee replacement surgery soon. How is that rebuild of the '27 coming along and also is it Dan that is building the roadster pickup????

Your Mum sounds like a great lady, I bet you are proud.

The engine for the 27 is all back together after my little fiascos, and I am planning on firing it up again next week after some new parts come from Summit. I eliminated the mechanical fuel pump, my Son Don gave me a new electric pump he had, and am waiting for a pressure regulator and some linkage to hook that all up.


Dan's RPU is almost ready for primer. He keeps finding little things to do that sidetrack him, like getting the stereo and speakers mounted and modifying the dash so his steering shaft can exit a little higher. But he is getting close. He is really burned out on it and just wants it done at this point, which is good.........maybe he will be less fussy. Thanks for asking.

Don

Well whiplash it sounds like your mom had a good mothers day.
My mother called to thank me for the food I had sent to her house.
She lives in Canton Ohio and I am in Tampa Florida so she was not expecting it.
I wanted to do something differant for her since I normally send flowers.
Kurt

Hi Kurt and Don, yes mum is special to me and you know on mothers day she was more concerned about all the mothers stuck in retirement homes waiting for that daughter or son to come visiting. I promised my mum that I would look after her at home here as she did with her mum who died of cancer at home under mums watchful eye. It is sad that there is too many people in this world that don't appreciate their parents while they are able. An old Porter Wagoner song always comes to my mind on such occasions,"House of Shame" ,now I am showing my age!!!! Kurt, one can not steal those memories of you and your mum crusin' the strip in your mum's covertible, they are priceless...

Now I am gonna have to go look for that song, Whiplash.
Yep they were good times with mom and my brothers and sister.
Now we are spread out all over the country from New York to Las Vegas,
Hawii, Ohio and Florida. I guess we got this land covered HE! HE!
Kurt

Whiplash...You had lamb chops and roast veges???you swine...if I had known that,we would have gone home via Pukekohe,from Tauranga,,[only 3hours out of the way]probably could have got there in time for dinner,too...Lynda and i went up to the over rated Bay of Plenty for the weekend to see my mother,whose on her own now,did a few little jobs around the place and went out for our usual Chinese on saturday night,,A good weekend,but now dreaming of roast lamb....

Sorry Robin, I only read your post now as last night was one of those that the pain had got to me all day and wasn't in a good place mood wise,so I was in bed by 7.00pm after taking a heap of pain killers. You and Lynda would of been welcome as I had prepared too much as usual and had heated up lamb the next day too. I read somewhere that you and Lynda will be in Tauranga for the swapmet at the end of June. I got a PM from Hotrod Todd today asking if I will be going which I will reply to today. But had my meeting with the anasthetist yesterday and he told me that part one of my knee surgery will be within the next month,so I may not be capable of attending. Now, 25mm ROE spanner just may come in handy one day when you do find that big nut.
