Roof Deuce Restoration

I need to move to Donahue. My nova needs to be in the company of good friends and relatives. Maybe 108 N. Main Street is available.

Sammy, you aren't going anywhere with that cream puff that you have! There's no way I would let you leave without me driving it one more time. Do they even sell Kakes out there?

We went out to dinner tonight with a couple of friends from the old gang that we hung out with back when the deuce was still tearing up the streets. We got to talking about the car and I mentioned that everyone calls it a "she" now and how in my mind it had always been a "he". Earl, and the friends we were with, said they had always thought of the car as a "he" also. I said that maybe Schonye had done a sex change operation on it during the restoration. Earl's comment, "Yeah, he probably left off a couple of nuts!"

You can clean him up but you've got to be careful where you take him!!!

Good one Earl

. I can already tell I like your sense of humor. For the record, I am headin' to Donahue next weekend and I will personally count all of the nuts to ensure none were castrated er

left off, I mean.

Schonye, we also usually refered to the car simply as "the Deuce". I would love for you to start a thread about your Deuce and the story of how you came to buy it and a little about it's life back in the day,complete with lots of old pics. I'm realizing now just how special long-time original owners are and how really attached they are to their cars. As you said earlier "a part of their soul stays with the car". It's almost like "our" Deuce was one of our kids and even though "she" has left the nest we will always want to keeep track of "her" and see how "she" is doing! So far we couldn't be happier with where she is now(with you and a few of her kin), and where she will be eventually(with Sam,a former local).

How about moving into the back room at 106 North Main! I can take the first Lady shopping during the day to keep her out of your way! Maybe take her to visit Howie, Jensen, Clint etc. Then go to Cedar Rapids and spend your money at the Shopping Centers and Malls

Yeah Sam, I gotta another bit of intel from the Mayor recently that you may want to put on your "must do" list after you move to Donahue, altho I'm not sure the First Lady would appreciate

.....directions to Daisy Dooks

! I'll see if I can get some pix when I'm up there next week

! I tried to coax Schonye to do a shelf inspection at the Double D with me, but he said that probably wasn't going to happen

. Guess I'll just have to get Joe to come along with me.

Sorry Sammy. The fire chief lives there and it's grass fire season in IA. I think people had half of Scott co. on fire today by being stupid and burning leaves on a windy day.
Your tax dollars were well spent by fema today. Many of our deptments were able to get brush trucks for this kind of fire event through fema grants. Nobody lost a house today.

Linda, I truly thought about the "she" when I wrote about the deuce. You called it, an it. An "it" would have no nuts.

I've always used a female conotation with mine, so that's where the "she" came from. But mostly back in the day, we just said," The deuce".
