    Apocalypse Now Overrated?

    If it provokes thought, poetry, movies, literature, and music are worth considering. We might not agree with the author but then it's even more important to consider. Basically, I'm disagreeing with Francis Ford Coppola and saying Kurtz is right. Soldiers in Vietnam were branded as baby...

    Apocalypse Now Overrated?

    Related from the movie Lawless: We Control Fear "It is not the violence that sets men apart. It is the distance that he is prepared to go. Jack, look at me. We are survivors. We control the fear. But without the fear, we are all as good as dead." It's the same thing Kurtz was saying.

    Apocalypse Now Overrated?

    I recently rewatched it and emailed these thoughts to some friends: I paid close attention to Colonel Kurtz's monolog in Apocalypse Now and I learned something. "You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling…...

    DOGS

    Diesel the 160 ln Newfoundland makes me laugh. Sometimes he moves more like a bear than a dog. My bed is a little high off the ground but he's way too large to jump. He crawls and claws his way onto the bed like a Grizzly climbing over a large fallen tree. I saw a clip with W.C. Fields as a...

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    Slightly off-topic. Are Mopar keys hard to duplicate? I'm sure someone can cut them but can you blanks like the old school keys?

    I had the little skin cancer thingy removed. Wow.

    I had a little spot on my forehead, kinda like a zit but it wasn't going away. I had it checked last week. Yep, skin cancer. My sister had a couple of spots removed, no big deal. Part of being a fair-skinned Norwegian. So I go in expecting a scar like my sister's, a couple of mm across. No...

    Missing dipstick for a '71 727 automatic transmission.

    We never had a dipstick for the trans. Now that the car is almost ready for the street I need a dipstick to check the fluid level. What dipstick do I need and where can I get one? I found this for a 727 big block Mopar. I really don't need the tube just the stick...

    Now I have a live-in mechanic.

    Blonde, about 35, good figure pretty face. John has about 20 pictures taped to the inside lid of his toolbox. The only negative is she has those super long eyelashes girls have nowdays. I've met her a few times. I passed on the Ford LTD. Too many projects.

    Now I have a live-in mechanic.

    My mobile mechanic John has been helping me with car projects for about a year and a half. He's not cheap but much less than most mobile mechanics. His wife is one of those super hot but crazy women and I think he's had enough. Anyway, he's living in the basement for a couple of weeks and I...

    Dog Attack

    My 160 lb. Newfoundland was in the back seat of our SUV with his head sticking out of the rear window. He was attacked by about 20+ girl scouts scratching his head and ears until their troop leader made them leave. Different kind of dog attack I guess.

    Football weather at the baseball game.

    Denver is under a dense fog warning tonight. As I explained the other day, it's not fog, it's low clouds!

    Light snow and 30 degrees at the Rockies-Mariners game at Coors Field.

    Not the official weather thread.....

    Snow today and tomorrow. It's funny here because what looks like fog here are just clouds below 7300'. The indicator is fog collects in valleys. Clouds are thicker on hilltops. It would be extremely unusual to have enough humidity to create fog. Even when it's very cold it's never humid...

    I'm thinking this Ford might make a good Burt Reynolds "White Lightning" clone.

    It's got a 400. Sounds like they lowered the compression from 1971. In the movie, they say it has a 429. pecs datasheet with technical data and performance data plus an analysis of the direct market competition of Ford LTD Convertible 400 V-8 Cruise-O-Matic (aut. 3) in 1972, the model with...

    Funny you should mention barge. The stunt that didn't go quite as planned.
