Or when they'd respond, "I'm done" I'd ask them if "I were stick a fork in them would it come out clean." Total confusion on their part.. I’m certain the students were confused. I’m a student of English grammar and the study is not for the weak willed individual. I had to go to a prep school for my 13th year of high school to raise my SAT scores. All of our instructors were retired Naval Academy or West Point officers. The retired military instructors did a good job teaching what I needed to know to get my boards up and complete college. i do not believe our newspaper writers of today took any writing classes.

Bob, Persistence should be your middle name! Hanging in there for 13 years to get through high school is amazing. Most people would have quit after 5 or 6. How did college go? We Riv owners know that persistence is a good quality to have to get through the twists and turns of Riv ownership. Keep up the good work.

Congrats, but my bracket was burst along with probably 99.99% of the rest of the public's. Had to look up UMBC to see what it stood for. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bill, every time I see scratch removal products I wonder if you worked out the scratch in your wife’s car. I remember seeing a demo of how pro’s move the paint from either side of the scratch to fill in the ‘’valley” the scratch created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, The Retrievers had a day in the sun with the win over Va. UMBC stands for “ U Made a Bad Choice or UMust B Crazy. The Retrievers have an internationally recognized winning Chess team. A number of years ago UMBC was busted for recruiting too many older players for the Chess team. I suppose collegiate Chess teams have recruiting rules to abide by. Go Retrievers!

Turbinator Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Gents, attached is a picture of another ( and final final) effort to come up with a color that satisfies me. Since there is no paint code for the air cleaner ( that I know about) different hues of the same color could have very well been sprayed at different times during the production period of the 63. Colors anything change overtime. So, here is my latest effort at “ getting the color right”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
