Why is it that an oil painting of boobies is art and a photograph of boobies is porn?

Scooterbum,
That sounds like a good idea, I should be able to truck it up there (oh the shame a Honda in the back of a truck  lol ). I gotta buy a few parts first so I
can make sure everything fits and such. Stuff like pipes and probably forwards. I can get ahold of you once I get that stuff for fitment.
Thanks, Mark

printed up and all sorts of stuff. Then the guy (actor) never showed up lol.

Yep. Radar was from O-town. I was a big fan of M*A*S*H as a kid. When we moved to Fairfield (24 miles east of Ott) and I was stoked. Yeah lame but I was young
and impressionable. Ottumwa used to have a bar called Radar's for awhile too. Hey, you know a M*A*S*H 4077th, Cb750, Medic Chopper (remember the
helicopters?) theme might be sort of fun.... Would probably need a suicide shifter for a obscure reference to the show's title song theme "Suicide is
Painless". Also gotta have some reference to Grape Nehi, Radar's favorite drink. Olive drab paint, canvas rucksack paniers, black rims, Red Cross
symbil on the tank.... Wish I had the $$ to do it up right.
With respect, Scribe |

yea just let me know boogieman. glad you are not wanting it done right now. i just spent the day moving everything out of my shop. the chance of floods is to
great where i am at right now. the floods of 93 we had 8 feet of standing water in here. chances of that happening again are pretty high right now. they are
saying saylorville is going to crest in a couple days at only 3 feet lower than it was in 93. corp of engineers are trying to say that it wont happen again but
we are not going to take the chance. i rent out some shop space from a fireplace shop here and in 93 the floods almost put them out of business. fema helped
them a bit but they had to borrow a lot of money on top of that. the sad thing is they just got that loan paid off and are being threatened with it all over
again. hopefully in a week we can be back to normal around here. shoot me an email when you get things pulled together and we'll get things set up.
