Hahahaha I’m laughed so hard at that one bro people on train are staring at me
Thanks @Hawkeye_diesel I needed that
You’re welcome brother, I’m dying right now
My older brother tells me I could not handle today’s weed. When you meet me you’ll understand
The kids at work come in high and we deal with the public and they function just fine. I don’t get it.
@Hawkeye_diesel
That IS funny because I was sometimes know for muttering: “Why is everybody looking at me?”
Hahahaha. All the while singing: “Love that dirty water, oh Boston, you’re my home”, and of course totally believing that we sound like Lennon and McCartney at their best.
@Hawkeye_diesel
Don’t laugh. You just might have to coax me out by leaving a trail of Reese’s Pieces.
Oo piece of candy, oo piece of candy…

When we were high and we would have to drive somewhere of course it was me doing the driving in my beat up 1965 two door Rambler American, three on the tree (3 speed w/column shift for those too young to remember) and held together by duct tape and wire clothes hangers.
No key so had to use pointed dog-shear scissors to turn the ignition over, a clutch that slipped like a sled on ice, windshield wipers that would stop dead when you put on the gas until you let off and they would wipe again, a parking brake that only worked if you were facing downhill, and a drive shaft that would fall off if you came to too quick of a stop.
I would have to jump out and put it back on again and then jump back in and continue on the journey, which sucked if I was on a slight incline because the parking brake would not hold so I had a haydite block that I would open the door and put underneath and roll back onto it until the car stopped. Jump out, crawl underneath, slip the drive shaft back on, jump back in, pull forward a little bit, pull the brick back inside and close the door and zoom off.
Every 30 to 40 minutes the car would start running rough and I would have to go out and by hand turn the distributor until it ran smoothly again. God I loved that car!
When one of us spotted a police car we would yell, “Don’t smile!”, which of course was code word for, police but also when high we firmly believed that if the police saw us smiling they would know we were stoned and would pull us over. True story, all of it. And I know what you are all thinking at this point: “Alrighty then, no weed for Bob.”
@Hawkeye_diesel @Countryboyjvd1971
Oh, one more thing about my Rambler American. The brakes would not work at all unless you pumped them 3 or 4 times and only then it was usually the front right brake that would go on first so you had to have a good hold of the steering wheel, no power steering, whenever you stopped. Again, God I love that car!
I’m dying @BobWags, my buddy had a car and he had problem just like that. I can ylsee you high as a kite jumping out an fixing the issues then jumping back in like nothin happened
You got it right on the nose. I don’t know why it never happened in front of a cop but I guess I was damn lucky. Had that happened I probably would have abandoned the car and ran to the nearest bush and hid inside of it.
Peaking up hey are they gone… snickering tryin not to laugh, everyone shushing everyone
@Hawkeye_diesel
All the while Bohemian Rhapsody is blaring out of my one little speaker on the dashboard and my jury-rigged 8-track inside the glove compartment.
Lmao I can see it all
Hey @bob31 , are you out there? I haven’t seen you in a while. Is everything okay? Are you going to try coming to the convention?
Hey @BobWags yep I’m around. I’ve read most all of your posts in your journal.
I’m not sure if I’m gonna make the convention or not. Once I get it figured out I will let you know! Are you a definite?
I had a '68 someone loaned me for a few months in the 80’s. Great vehicle. It ran so quiet and smooth I would sometimes think it stalled and then get a real bad ZZZZZINNNGGGGG when I turned the key to “restart” the already running engine.
Oh yeah, I’m going. I wouldn’t miss this for all the weed in Humboldt County.
@Willd
Yes, it was VERY quiet, once I wrapped the pipes and muffler in asbestos wrap, held up to the frame with coat hangers. Quiet as a whisper.
So upset @BobWags I won’t be at the convention this go around
I forgot in my excitement that is my wife’s birthday weekend and she reminded me last night when I asked about the trip to Boston again
And I lost the argument hahahaha
She said she doesn’t want to spend her birthday weekend and a MJ convention
Oh well maybe next time
