No time for the Challenger

[Timbbuc2]

Come Monday I have to leave for Shrilanka for 3 weeks, then to China for 3 weeks and then to Indonesia for 3 weeks. I return the end of December  for Christmas  and then continue working on my car.  It is tough trying to get her running, but work comes first.

[Challenger in NC]

Tim,  have a good trip and get home safely.

[340challconvert]

That is a lot of traveling!
I used to travel 100 miles a day and hated it!
Be Safe!

Hey Tim.  It is time you slowed down some.. Textiles are a strange thing anyway. Making, converting, etc..  Hope you have a safe trip.

I thought you retired?

Yes me too, I work in textiles, seems like us old guys are a demand

I too traveled a distance everyday to work, I can empathize with you all. I worked in a large Postal Process Center in the late 70's early 80's in Pasadena Ca. My wife and I lived in an apt. In the early days, and thought of buying a house (expensive in LA area then also ). So we moved 55 miles south to Riverside Ca. ( where we're at now) to buy a house. I transferred to San Bernardino Ca. which is 22 miles one way from home, but not after taking 7 years to be accepted in that office. So after a 110 mile round trip everyday, in stop and go LA traffic in my poor '70 Slant6 Challenger, 3 speed. This prompted me after 2 years, to have the Dodge changed out to an Auto. (904). No more shifting up and Shifting down, clutch in clutch out constantly. Best move I ever made, it is still an automatic. After 42 years the Dodge and I are finally retired. Thanks,   Al

The drive from Pasadena to Riverside was a long one back in the 70's & 80's but I took that drive last year & the traffic has made it virtually unbearable...

Well while visiting a plant in Indonesia, I came across this emergency exit door. It was locked with a sign saying to break the glass in case of emergency. Now come on, 30 people are escaping the fire through a narrow door just to cut up all to heck. BUT I guess the thinking your still alive comes into play.

Crazy , better than dying though

What a trip, finished with Shrilanka and Indonesia. I had to go through Hong Kong to get to China. Visa and all that good stuff. Took a ferry to China, once I get here hardly any apps would work. China has strict rules regarding the internet and what you can connect to. What's app, No, e-bodies.org No, Google not happening. And many others. BUT my son being a IT guy hooked me up with a VPN and now back online.
I am in China until the 19th then go back to Shrilanka for one night to catch a plane to Atlanta.
Sure be glad to get home, then I will have 2 weeks for my car. Family is having a "Crank it up Christmas" old girl going to get cranked , first time in over 20 years.

[Chryco Psycho]

Glad you are doing well !
My friend was just in China & told me all about the lack of Google etc
