Visited forum member Old Mopar today

[Joe Flanagan]

I got up at six this morning and drove up to see oldmopar in New Jersey horse country. Ed had some good seats out of a 49 Plymouth that are now sitting on my back porch. He's also got quite a few project cars on his nice spacious lot. Ed's got the garage I wish I had (with a project truck inside). I didn't know you had wild turkeys in your neighborhood, Ed. Ten big black ones crossed the road in front of me not far from your house and I had to stop and let them go by. They took their sweet time about it, too.

I'll be getting rid of some seats I have if anyone's interested. There is rust along the bottoms but could be repaired. I have two front seats, both without the bottom cushion, and the lower section of the back seat. They're in good condition except for where they contacted the floor, which is where the rust is. I'll post pics if anyone wants to see them. Just PM me.

Joe, It was good to meet you glad you had a safe trip both ways. While it is building up some we still have a lot of wild life here,as for the turkeys you should have took one home for dinner .

A turkey though a good sized target at 20 or so lbs is not something you want tohit with your car. A friend though he had one nailde on the groundonly to have it rais up and smack him in the grill wiping out a healamp.

These were big turkeys, let me tell you. One of them stood in the road and made some kind of noise at me. Gave me the hairy eyeball. I'm sure if you hit one at speed, you could do some damage to your vehicle.

Turkey noise? Gobble-Gobble? Give me a break....

[Joe Flanagan]

It was more like a screech. It was blood curdling, I tell you.

Ben Franklin proposed the Turkey as the National Bird instead of the goofy Blad Eagle. A fowl idea apparently. The snood and wattle apparently finding disfavor against the white feathered head of the Raptor. Perhaps a Turkey had scared old Ben also.....

It could have been worse. He could have lobbied for the buzzard or the grackle, which, while flying, has all the grace of a thrown potato.

That turkey thought he was tough because he had nine of his friends with him. I'll bet he's not so tough when he's out on the road all by himself.

Next time, turkey. Next time.

[Joe Flanagan]

My sister in Massachusetts has a lot of them around her house. The big problem is their droppings. Large quantities and really nasty. Still hungry, Benny?

around my house the gobble gobble is the sound of the bird disappearing..
