[Spridgets] Is the list really this quiet?

Tue Jan 29 13:39:35 MST 2019

Well maybe it's because my e-mail is strange in g-mail.  I have just had
one reply that contains loads of replies so maybe I'm missing some list
traffic?

I haven't been on facebook since May and never signed up to the new
whatever Facebook wanted me to sign up to.  I like hearing about people's
projects.  Mine seem to make slow progress.  The first stainless steel
exhaust manifold wasn't a copy of mine and so it didn't fit.  The
replacement is an exact copy of mine and does fit but has now gone away for
coating and isn't back yet.  The combined price is eye-watering but when
I'm too old to drive my Sprite + a decade, that exhaust will have proven to
be money well spent.  Heck, I might even be able to tell my wife how much
it cost me.  I do have to tell my insurance company, along with some
photos, to bump up the agreed value on the Sprite.

The rear suspension project is linked to my making new and improved
anti-tramp bars and that part of the project is at the little more filing
followed by a visit to the welder who can weld stainless steel stage.  But
with the garage temps below freezing and all my money spent on the
manifold, progress is at a halt.

I'm glad someone is reading my books - Amazon reviews are always welcome
(as a review myself I've got my ranking up to just over 84K).  If anyone
has read 'A rich girl' e-mail me if you can spot the true stories presented
as fiction.  Gratuitous kinky sex and bondage aren't in my books, maybe
that's where I'm going wrong, on both counts I guess!
