Thunderbird Club

A

Been quite a while since that happened. There was a seller on eBay that had all kinds of excess parts from a Gibson factory. The parts were for quite a few models and but of course the Bird bits were what most of us seemed to focus on. I still have 3 sets of the empty nickle pickup cans with rings as well as 2 vintage RD Artist pickguards. I believe our Queen killed a pickup drilling for the 3rd hole (Ahem!!) and others learned from this and only used the bottom corner screw holes. @godofthunder59 @TBird1958 do you remember how long ago all of this occurred?

Good 5-7 years ago maybe longer

So this just happened, had a spare set of vintage style reverse clover leafs in the parts box.

I had a Honda Dream! Man that was a cool bike, mine was red.

The 160 was the biggest/most $ bike I could get financing for at the time. It was fun-and I was much lighter then.

Yeah, that 80cc would not be quite as quick for me today.

Shouldn't you be buying that?

Got a busy summer doing remedials.

Even in a perfectly brand new house, that's always true.

 

[Gaolee]

It's good to not be needy! And when I am, the are ways to overcome that.

Just thought I'd share.

Ah, but you are needy - you need another Thunderbird. We are here to help. And enable. At your service!

Nah, just leave that stuff for the new owners.......Oh. Retirement house? Ooops!

 

[Gaolee]

You had hippies in the garage? Yeah, burning is the best solution then, otherwise they might get into the house and squat there.

There's been an incident of accidentally lighting a random hippie on fire around here, too. Funny how well blonde dreads light up. He was kinda surprised. Burning hippie leads to doused hippie. That evening was a lot of fun, in an improvised kind of way. We never did figure out where that guy came from or where he went afterwards.

As much as I agree, you must try back bacon or Canadian bacon as those from the US Eh call it. Similar, but different.

According to my wife, that's bacon. What we call bacon in the US Eh is streaky bacon.

 

[Gaolee]

I've never eaten an Austrian.

Ahem.

They are not bad with a good chianti and some fava beans.

Just so it's bacon-mmmmm.

I wish, i would love that Bird.

And thanks, it's a treasure that I've only lately come to really appreciate. We got dumb-lucky, no one who's in authority in our town seems to care or be educated at all on the history of the place.
Rhode Island.

My father was from Pascoe RI. He never quite lost the accent.
It wasn’t until I was older that I realized that the sharp, pointy fencing material wasn’t called “Bobbed Wire”.

I've lived in S FL all my life, but with all the northeasterners down here, same thing.

Mmmm! That’s one bit of me that shows up in my protag in the Dragon Lord Chronicles- Gerald loves bacon. Even though it was a bit different in the 1500s.

See? Bad influence. That's why I'm here.

If he was from Ohio, it would be "bob woure." It takes years of effort to get rid of a rural Ohio twang, and even then, it sneaks back at inopportune times.

I'd say Pascoe is right up the road from our house, but in Rhode Island everything is...

Edit... it's spelled "Pascoag", but I knew that... someone spelled it correctly after me. Doh.
