Taking a slight break from the painting and sanding of the bits and bobs and running some errands when I came across this in one of the chain bookstores......and yes....I can read goodly!
Feast your eyes on this unbelievable find, thought I think it may be a bit redundant now:
Actually, I just happened to stumble across this and had to take the picture as GBC had shared a similar one by Haynes for the Space Shuttle. I know, I didn't believe that one either and thought it was a big joke until I saw this 'un today.
Depending how motivated Bodger feels will depend on what else is done to the bits and bobs before Saturday rolls around.
That's when Bodger moseys (?) up the road to the tiny burg of Luckenbach, made famous in a song of the same name by Willie Nelson, to attend the annual Harvest Classic show.
Apparently it's been going on for several years but not heard of by muggins here until just recently. There's supposed to be a trials demonstration, raffles of some sort, displays but no selling of parts (on a grand scale, on the sly is OK) along with a live band and Texas style BBQ.....meaning brisket and other vittles.
This will be followed by a trip into Fredricksburg to do touristy things. Fredricksburg is the home of Admiral Chester Nimitz of WWII Naval warfare fame and there's a museum there, along with the usual overpriced touristy stuff. Still, it'll be a good day out before heading back to the salt mines on Monday.
All goes well with the digital camera and the batteries are all charged, the should be a report and pics by deadline Sunday, Monday, Tuesday....oh hell, some day!
Quick edit here: Just in case ya thought I was funning ya, here's a picture of the Haynes Space Shuttle workshop manual, for those who restoring a mere motorcycle isn't enough anymore:

That's hilarious, maybe the Captain of the ship should have read that one...Sounds like a good trip and event ahead. Live band, live trials, and BBQ...life's good! There is a Fredricksburg in Texas?
ReplyDeleteCould've come in handy for sure....
ReplyDeleteThe Harvest Classic is only a one day event really so will try and get up there early enough to catch the trials and wonder around. Hopefully it's good as made out. Will get a few shots of the general store/Post Office/bar all rolled into one.
Yep, it's Northish of SA in the Hill Country. One of those German towns in the area, has that small town feel even though it does cater to tourists.
