RW> That's easy. As you get older you tend to do more relaxing. Relaxing
RW> doesn't do anything to keep your belly muscles in shape (or your butt
RW> muscles for that matter). As a result, when you stand up, gravity pulls
RW> on your gut and your stomach muscles can't hold them back.
 
So, by that reckoning, if I stand on my head fifteen minutes a day, my
over-sized belly would wind up in my chest?  (-:
 
RW> I always thought the best research on sharks would be when they're dead.
 
Ah, but then you wouldn't learn their habits.  To me they are simply eating
machines.  I stopped surf fishing in the Gulf because of them.  This
weekend is the best time of year to surf fish in the Gulf, so Joe and I are
going, except I'll be sitting in his boat instead of standing in three feet
of salt water.
 
RW> That's typical. Most hams want to do everything on the cheap, so they
RW> skimp on buying factory made gear and salvage from junk boxes what they
RW> can get for little or nothing. He probably built that computer from a
RW> kit.
 
He did.  He was the Mr Know-it-all of Houma.
 
RW> In San Diego, there is a ham radio related swap meet at a local drive-in
RW> movie. The hams go thru the junk boxes people bring and buy the old
RW> computer stuff for pennies on the dollar.
 
I would have done that with the 1980 issues of Compute! and PC Magazine. 
As an aside, when I didn't renew my subscription to PC Ragazine (it became
that in the mid-to-late Nineties), I received a mildly threatening letter
from its editor.  WOW!
 
RW>RN> I'd rather do it myself.
 
RW> I got tired of doing that.
 
I can't pull wrenches anymore.
 
RW> Not only that, but your little 283 didn't have the torque to beat much of
RW> anything from a standing start. Although that short stroke allowed them
RW> to
RW> rev to over 7000rpm from the factory, which allowed them to catch up. I
RW> always had a smile on my face while watching them go down the drag strip
RW> with a Ford trying to keep up. Some of those had that 312 T-bird engine
RW> and couldn't do it.
 
You forget I had a Corvette engine in it with solid lifters, a Mallory
dual-point distributor, an Engel 3/4 race cam, an Edelbrock 3-pot intake
manifold, and three dueces sitting on the manifold, to say nothing of what
we did to the heads and manifolds.  The car looked innocent enough.  Did
you receive that picture I sent?
 
The site you gave me yesterday finally came online and I did indeed find
The Soldier on DVD there, but just as I feared, it was PAL format, which
won't play on NTSC players.
