Took me forever to learn the order of pushes and pulls and when to do what depending on what the motor felt and sounded like. Once I learned it was no more a challenge than starting a car, but at first it was like learning magic incantations or something. Thanks for learnin' me up on that!PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-8933988735519513202020-01-10T23:25:52.174-07:002020-01-10T23:25:52.174-07:00I have a friend with an A.

Those old 2 cylinders were interesting to start, with having to open the valves at the front of the cylinders, to reduce the compression, and then spin the flywheel!<br />I can read the menu on a full size monitor!

So yeah, spendy. However, you can't have John Deere Dealership cheeseburger anywhere in the country for any price, except in Scottsbluff for eight bucks. Or you can upgrade to the enormous Johnny Popper for only three bucks more. Eleven bucks was $3.54 in 1980, but I doubt you could get a 10 oz cheeseburger stuffed with jalapenos anywhere in the world for anything close to that price. Plus the hydraulic sauce is free.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-85642759620997900442020-01-10T12:11:43.028-07:002020-01-10T12:11:43.028-07:00"...that's only like $2.50 in 1980 dollar... "...that's only like $2.50 in 1980 dollars." Sure, but, remember what $2.50 would buy in 1980. And, wasn't that just after all of us had been bent over by Jimmah? After some years of double digit inflation? Eight bucks for a cheeseburger is far too much for my pocketbook.<br /><br />PaulPaul L.

But in the videos, I see that you decided to drive instead. Which is a good thing, as other wise it would have taken much longer and you might have been short of breath with such a long run.<br /><br />"Last evening the chickens, whose ancestors hail from Trinidad and Tobago I believe, were playing the song of their people on their food pan." If you were to elevate the pan off the ground in a way that allowed for a more ringing tone, a recording of them on the 'net would make them world famous. Then you could be their manager and make sure they didn't work for chicken feed.<br /><br />As to the café, looking at the prices on the menu, I can see why most people were only having desert. Those prices seem high to me.<br /><br />Thanks for the post.<br />Paul L. Quandt <br />Paul L. Quandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734944159912671900noreply@blogger.com
