Welcome to the Breakfast Show.......

[dirigible25]

That is what I love about this thread, people getting to know people. We now know that you are more than a pretty face with a keen mind, you are also a compassionate person as well (although many of us who have been welcomed into your world via the "Breakfast Show" knew that already).

You will be blessed by your kindness, just as those who have been blessed by your generosity.

During the weekend rush on a Sunday evening in 1997, I was west bound on the Trans Canada Highway when the Jeep stopped running near Chilliwack while I was pulling a borrowed 25 ft Prowler. I called Fraser Valley Towing. Two young men showed up with two trucks in about 20 minutes. They expertly loaded the Jeep on the flat deck, hooked up the trailer, loaded my family into their trucks and deposited us at the Jeep dealership in Abbotsford where we spent a comfy night on the dealer's lot, camping in the Prowler. At 8 am the next morning, the service techs pushed the Jeep into their shop, diagnosed a fried coil, replaced the coil and had me on my way to my destination at Porteau Cove by 9 am. The charge for the towing was $38 and the repair on the Jeep for parts and labour was $97. I have told this story a hundred times as an example of thoughtful, courteous, respectful, and fare treatment of a traveller in need by the good people in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. Clearly, FAN is another fine member of the Fraser Valley community. Jim

Dennis,

Thanks, but I'm puffy and cranky before that first cup of coffee.

Jim,

Good to hear my neighbours treated you so well.

The Fraser Valley is a wonderful place -
just don't find yourself downwind when the dairy farmers are spreading that liquid manure!

Finally got the FaN back today. Despite the delay, am happy with the "new" bumper.

Am wondering if the dealershp scored a used one as it doesn't seem as shiny as the original (or else the new ones are duller). I don't really care; is better than that big dent (was damaged at dealership in November).

They still hadn't received the new deadbolt. I told them, I don't care, I really needed to get my "home" back. I have a feeling Canadian Airstreamers are at a disadvantage when it comes to ordering parts from JC because it takes so long.

Anyway, will be back sleeping in the beloved FaN tonight.....and all's right with this little life again.

Hi, glad to hear that you got your FaN back. If the dealer damaged the bumper, and it was going to take a long time to get one, they should have pulled one off of a new unit and sent you on your way. No excuse for not getting your lock, or parts to fix yours.


Night, night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

There's nothing like your own bed.

Sleep well,

Hi Bob,

They are usually pretty good, but I agree. They could have done better.

p.s. I'm not scratching this a.m.

Hi Maggie,

Ten-four to that!!

[Gene]

"Puffy and cranky"? I get the cranky part, but does caffeine cure puffiness? I have images of a blow up doll shrinking when caffeine is added.

Glad your home is back.

Gene

Hi Gene,

You think too much.

But yes, caffeine depuffs systemically (is a diuretic) and topically. 100% Pure Caffeine Eye Cream, Organic Coffee Bean | drugstore.com

Now, please tell us more about those blow-up dolls.

Hi, Gene; I would like to hear about those too.

Indeed. Specifically....."I have images of a blow up doll shrinking when caffeine is added."

Good to the last cup?
Jim never asks for a second cup of coffee at home?
Fill it to the rim with Brim?
Good to the last drop?
It only tastes expensive?
Have it your way, if your way is fast?
Your cup of inspiration?
When it's time for Me, it's time for Melitta!
The best part of wakin' up is Folger's in your cup?

I've seen them on TV which says something for the strange channels I find on the Dish. I've never had any use for them even though they are good at following orders. In the spirit of equal opportunity, they are available in male and female models and if you don't want one to get lonely, you should order one of each. I understand you can get a premium version that is very realistic and I believe costs a couple of thousand dollars. They can make them to resemble your favorite porn star in every way. This is another example of good ole American ingenuity at work. I'm sure there is a thriving export business to Canada where some people need something, anything, to keep warm in the perpetual winter.

Hi, Gene; I didn't know all of that stuff. But I heard a few people tried using them so they can drive in the HOV. [car pool lanes]

Several years back I recall seeing some police cars parked at the side of the road with inflatables dressed in a uniform. Supposedly to deter speeders. Penna. was one state not sure where else I've seen them. They must have leaked cause haven't seen any in a long time. Perhaps they had difficulty explaining them in budget requests.

Hi, on our Alaska trip, I saw this cop car on the side of the road; I guess this town was so poor that their cop car was made out of 3/4" plywood.

[polarlyse]

Hey Bob. That worked to fool the Germans prior to D-Day. So why not use it to fool the public. Something tells me that the second time you were fooled by it you deserved it.

Totally fake.

Why?

No Tim Hortons.

The Boeing plant in Seattle hid their entire facility.

Amazing.
