What can I say --- old age & altzheimers does strange thinge things to a persons memory. Seem's as though I'm prefacing more and more statement's with "I may be mistaken" just to be on the safe side. Thanks for clearing this up and keeping me honest.

Tom Mills makes a conversion kit for those of you with the old hood prop rod wanting to change.

There was a lot of talk a while back about the gas hood props deteriorating at colder temperatures. I've already had to replace them on three of my cars because the hood would not stay open. For more information, check out this thread: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000113.html

I have Tom Mills Gas Shock kit on my car to eliminate the prop rod.

I have had it out some in the last few weeks since it has gotten colder and I notice the hood is easy to close, but it still stays up.

Firstly, my car is a 2001 and when you start talking about "prop rods" I do get vitally interested in this subject matter.

Secondly, as to problems that are memory related I would say to all of you youngins that it is best to focus only only one or two areas and you will see that your memory will be far more functional.

In any case my 2001 certainly does not have a rod. If you feel that a rod would add to my overall experience I would be happy to have one installed. As it is, I have not had much luck lately at the Home Depot and I was thinking maybe a new rod would be helpful.

While I am old, I have never been cantankerous as such. The description that depicts someone as a "fart" also leaves me somewhat concerned as again, at my age, that experience could actually be deadly. I was happy to hear that the "old cantankerous fart" was right as it always makes me feel good to see one of my younger brothers proven right.

Gotta run now as all of this gaseous talk has made me hanker for a true Boston baked bean dinner and I know exactly where to find a can of those beauties in my pantry. I need to eat them and recover before "dew drop" gets home from her 24 Hour Fitness marathon.

Do either of you know if Home Depot carries that "liquid viagra"?

I have been limiting my outings to the Krispy Cream joint as they have a new honey working there that has the hots for my cat.

I've been going down there each morning and having a sugar beauty and then a giant cup of Java. On more than one occasion, when I returned to my car there she was justa sitting pretty in my seat with the shine of the Zino waxed hood reflecting off off her ice blue eyes.

She is a fine sight to see in that short skirt that they make her wear with those long gams wrapped around my soft Corinthian leather seat in my Prowler......

Anyway, I haven't given much thought to supplements as she has gotten me hotter than a pepper sprout every time that I have seen her. My Dodge fever is only quelled by the soft cooing noises that she makes when I fire up my 253 horses and up shift into a higher gear. Makes my auto stick hum.

Gotta run as Costco has a sale on Charmin 24 pack and I need to stay stocked up as I am still having problems related to that bean that ate about a month ago.

You have clearly crossed over the line....to professional. Wow, what a response. You left me in the dust. Seems like you just dropped in a V8 and now you clearly have the horsepower. Your writing is fantastic.

I gotta run as my New World Dictionary just came in and I need to catch up or perish. Wow!

I for one certainly appreciate your confidence in my writing skills but I am beginning to feel that Mr. Cat is surpassing my offerings.

I was particularly proud of the technical piece about the ASE chip where I explained my lower cost development the "tater chip." I was shocked when only two people ordered this finely crafted masterpiece.

In any case I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate in this board with such distinguished authors as you and The Cat. (DA Cat if you life in Chicago)

I gotta run as it time for me to partake in my weekly checkers match with three of the local fresh stuffs that go to the same market as I do. We play strip checkers and wow, the view is fantastic!

I on the other hand, write a monthly article for the local SWAP MEET rag found free in those machines near the post office. My intent is to add a glamour, alternate choice to a otherwise boring married life for most couples. My work involves many interviews with the participants, so I relish the fact that this forum is available to me and my apathetic thoughts.

Scot - how did we get from prop rods to this???
