On Saturday, Dew Drop and I moseyed on down to our boat to see if it was ah still floating. After exercising the two 370 diesels and burning a few gallons of JP5, we secured the beauty and blew the joint.

When I left Harbor Island, I was ah waiting at a red light next to a Mulholland Prowler that had vanity plates on it. I don't remember what the plates said but I do remember that they were vanity plates. (at 117 years old I am lucky to remember to take a breath.)

The Prowler turned left on Harbor Drive and then turned right into the Liberty Station complex off of Harbor Drive. That boy sure had a right nice Prowler! It made me hanker for my own racing machine which was ah parked in the garage back at my shack.

Imagine, if he would have known that he was ah sitting within ten feet of the world's oldest Prowler Owner (117 years old)! A sighting of me would have gone a long way towards confirming my status with POA!

Dew drop was with me and the Mulholland had the top up and was in the right hand lane. I was wondering if it was anyone from the POA?

We didn't really try to get his attention as I had some chicken bones that I'd been ah gnawing on. We had commenced to throwing them out the window prior to seeing him and I didn't want to get any of the Colonel Grease wing and leg bones on his nice machine. They say that grease from the Colonel's original recipe is better than Zinno Brothers and gives your machine a better long-term glow.

I gotta run now as a re-run of Sea Hunt is coming on and Dew Drop made some real special vittles (pork goodie and all of the fixings) to go with some of my best shine. What a night!

I can personally verify your existence to all of the POA!

I can assure you that it was not us... as our cars have finally made it to our place here in Tx.

Say hello to Dew Drop for me.

I have pretty much given up posting as now everyone is new and very few remember me when I was 112 and started doing my posts. Today, most all of the members, "cept" C-Note and Mr. Cat are new and they probably don't want to hear from the old man.

I sure do appreacte your kind words.

It is also right nice to hear from you. I was sure sad to see you, Potato Latka and the youngin's pack up and head on out to Texas but at least you are going to a state where I speak the language!

The people in the "DeeTow" (Escondido) seem to miss all three of your racing machines at the cruise on Friday nights. I try to mosey on down there once in while with Dew Drop to see what's-a-happening.

You Bozy just finished up the new shop and then the next I heard, you sold your mail box and your off to Texas. I wish you both luck on the new location and becareful of them there Texans.

I gotta run as my Hungry Man TV dinner is ah simmering and Judge Judy is gonna hear a case bout a former Prowler owner trying to get his money back for a set of flaky wheels he got and I want to see the outcome.
