[Spridgets] A Sunday with Frankie

[Robert Duquette]

Hey Chuck!

Yeah, the '73 is still in the building.  Just sitting and waiting.  That's it on the left of the picture from this past fall.
The other red Midget is still using its engine.
That was an event.  I'm still amazed that you did that!!
What was the question that they asked you at the border?
"Have you ever met this guy?  How do you know that he's not smuggling something in the car?"  Or, something like that ...
Time marches on, eh? (Or does it race? 😉)
My son just got married a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, I still have some cleaning up to do in there!

Robert
I intend to live forever, or die trying.

We spent some time discussing the lack of spirited list conversations compared to 20 years ago.  A number of noteable names were discussed.  I'm now realising why the list seems so quiet.  Quite a few of the people we discussed have passed away. Frankie reads things posted here .  I told him I miss rants like "donkey dung fired Chinese forges making moss repros".  Or "crap harbor freight knock off tools that fail in a day at a job site" !   That and i remembered Montana Bob...who could forget those blistering exchanges?  The Valentine's LBC rallies.  And the moving of people's cars they bought across the country from one trailer to another until the car got to it's New owner.  Following these events and participating brought us together tighter than some families.  Even sprite sprees were well attended. That was then.
