Guys,

To echo Rob Love, I like Hawaiian shirts and am some what fixated with vintage military equipment, but I am glad that Harry won the race amongst Lynx owners.

Having said that, where does one order these customized Hawaiian shirts ?

Bruce, if you can go through the challenge of restoring a Fox, it's only a short step to wearing one.

Peter

I shall not waiver. I had the trauma of attending a Beach Boys concert not that long ago and the audience was full of mid-sixties pot bellied guys all wearing Hawaiian shirts and acting like they were twenty. The horror. Right then and there I put my foot down. No compromise. (the concert was great, I shared an elevator with the lead singer beforehand and didn't realize it until I saw him on stage. He was entitled to his Hawaiian shirt. And yes, I wish they all were California girls)

Bruce.

How about wearing a Bob and Doug McKenzie Lumberjack Shirt with Fox prints on it, while eating back bacon and pancakes?

In preparation for moving the Otter inside I needed to change out a few of the wheels for ones that hold air.The one drum hub is badly cracked all the way around l, however I do have a replacement.

It was a fun two hours in the yard. My wife always wants some help working in the yard….

What would crack a hub like that? Being dropped with no tire?

Anyway, nice to see yard lawn ornament brought inside.

At least it was easy to free up the brake. Just smash the drum completely !
