Default Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour

I had a message from micro soft saying it was free until the end of July. After that it will cost.
Be careful when deleting the Windows 10 upgrade message. I had been continually deleting it at the X box in the upper r/h corner. One morning when I turned on the computer it had Windows 10 and wanted to complete the download. Thought I was screwed but when it got to the "accept terms" I clicked on Not accepting terms and it went away. Back to Windows 7. Later I read somewhere that Microsoft was getting SNEAKY about it and the RED X in the latest message, altho in the normal place, actually accepted the upgrade to 10 and you had to look close to see where to click so as not to accept 10. So be careful if you don't want it. I believe Microsoft is to support Windows 7 and 8.1 for 3 -4 years. I'm going to stay with 7 until it goes away. I don't need any more computer head aches than I already have.

I just got a package in the mail containing parts I need to refurbish the Columbia Two Speed rear for the '39LZ. Thanks to John C. for his help and fast service. Now... the fun can continue.

I'm afraid this windows 10 has gotten the best of me. I've tried everything that you and Coopman have suggested and nuttin' I do don't seem to work... Guess you'll just have to visit the Cigar City Flatheads pages on FaceBook...

I've been doing some wiring and brake work on Apatchy this week. Going to Texas to see daughter and her family for the next two weeks. Love her two adopted (from China) little gals a bunch. And NO Vic, you can't have my pickup while I'm gone. LOL

I replaced the shocks on my Model A roadster last weekend, 6 months after I got them back from the rebuilder and before I had my Model As in the 4th of July parade. I am glad to get that one done. Four cars keep me pretty busy, nothing like your fleet, Vic.

I still think about what a good time I had at the Barner's Bash this year. I hope to make it next year!

This past Saturday we buttoned up the Columbia that we'll be installing in the '39 LZ. We bench tested the vacuum to make sure it would shift in and out of O/D and everything works.
