A break in the arguement - test drive

Posted By Larry Janowicz

I figure I need at least one good laugh a day. Quota has been met.

I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday, for a look at the new Silverado 1500 pickup.
Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new "feel" before they become extinct...

The salesman (wearing an Obama "change" lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat describing
the truck and all its "wonderful" options. The seats were of particular interest. He explained
that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a
Republican truck.

Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck. I explained that if it
were a Democrat truck, the seats would blow smoke up your ass year-round.

I had to walk back to the dealership. Damn guy had no sense of humor smile

I had one for a quite a while and really regret parting with it. Circumstances at the time forced a sale or otherwise it would still be in my possession The optics were delightful, the focal length was just right for the type of observing I do, the weight made it easy to mount and very portable, and the focuser ( although some say "so-so") worked like a champ for what I put on it.
I've owned many scopes and this one, even though a humble achromat,had some really sharp optics.

How to place an advert

Select the Classifieds tab at the top of the window. On the left side of that window you will see a section labeled Classifieds with 5 options, one of which will say "Place a New Ad"

Nice photo. Looks like you have some quite decent equipment, a quite decent site, and sorry about the not so decent temperature. But remember, that's one thing that keeps the mosquitoes away.
