What have I done?

...hahmina, hahmina, hahmina, yada, yada, yada, ohmm, ohmm, ohmm Amen

Well said, Brother Jack. Kinder words were never spoken. Not a dry eye anywhere. I'm sure Brother Greg is smiling somewhere in the Great Cosmic KOA.


OK, who wants the plans for the Minibago? How about the cardboard model? What do you think about an auction for his tools?

[madjack]

...well now Dave, are you voluteering to meet up with the Widow B and have a consolation/distribution meeting

madjack

p.s. actually I hope the reports of brother Gregs demise are greatly exaggerated

[DestinDave]

Such things are better left to lawyers and law enforcement personnel.
I agree as to Greg's health and continuing existance. Perhaps he's just too busy working on the Minibago to check the forum.

HEY GREG! Where are you? Let us know what Mrs. B thought.....

[madjack]

...maybe that due to the time Mrs. B was absent made the heart grow fonder and they are busy exploring those possibilties upon their reunion...they might even be sleeping(?) in the mock up
madjack

p.s. it could happen.....

[Chris C]

Then again, Madjack, it might just be that the HOSPITAL doesn't have an internet connection.

In otherword,s he's in Purgatory.

After two or three eons, we'll all meet up with him at that big tear drop gathering in the sky

Either that or he's been damned to spend eternity shopping for women's clothes and footwear with Mrs. B.

[Bobgorilla]

I think he's on the run, and all symphatic and like-minded members that have had the same or similar experience should be prepared to offer shelter. However to ensure our own safety we'll have to verify he locked up all the handguns and left no clues about where he's headed

[mikeschn]

I suspect he's being extra nice to Mrs B, pampering her and loading her up with gifts... after all, once he starts building he may not see much of her until the build is complete... That the kinda thing that some of the guys here know about... maybe Ira should tell his story...

Mike...

Gentlemen,

To paraphrase, "The reports of my demise are exaggerated,... but only slightly" That being the case, hands off my mock-up, my wife, and especially my tools! Also, I suspect you guys have just a little too much time on your hands.

She took the unveiling like a trooper, but when she found out I was serious, her only statement was "I don't want to store that thing!" Eh, this will happen, it will, however, take a little time. Marketing is about knowing what the objections are and preparing for them. I am prepared. After 10 years of marriage you'd think I'd have realized that she no likee surprises unless they consist of candy or flowers and preferably both (though footwear is always popular).

Since she works in New Jersey, and I, here in Utah. We see each other about twice a month. You didn't think I'd spend valuable face-to-face persuasion time to post a message to the guys who were planning my funeral did you?

I appreciate all the input, (but I laughed harder at the speculation). Andrew, your suggestion regarding the hatch is my fallback position. I will move the hinge forward 6", radius the corner and run it to the bottom. I might split the hatch, but the bottom hatch would end up hanging down in the dirt. I still haven't decided. Mike, I wanted that ledge to be an armrest, but think of this: I'll hang a light weight table just underneath the inside cabinets on full slides that will allow us to pull it forward until it "floats" fright in front of us while we sit up. A stabilizing leg will swing down to support it even though I'd use 100lb. slides. When we are done, we push it towards the back and lock it under the cabinets. I lose about 2" of footwell clearance and gain a table. It could also be removed to mount over the fender.

DEAD PERSON: I'm not dead!

DEAD PERSON: I'm not dead!

MORTICIAN: He isn't.
CUSTOMER: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
DEAD PERSON: I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER: No, you're not -- you'll be stone dead in a moment.
MORTICIAN: Oh, I can't take him like that -- it's against
regulations.
DEAD PERSON: I don't want to go on the cart!
CUSTOMER: Oh, don't be such a baby.
MORTICIAN: I can't take him...
DEAD PERSON: I feel fine!
CUSTOMER: Oh, do us a favor...
MORTICIAN: I can't.
CUSTOMER: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He
won't be long.
MORTICIAN: Naaah, I got to go on to Robinson's -- they've lost
nine today.
CUSTOMER: Well, when is your next round?
MORTICIAN: Thursday.
DEAD PERSON: I think I'll go for a walk.
CUSTOMER: You're not fooling anyone y'know. Look, isn't there
something you can do?
DEAD PERSON: I feel happy... I feel happy.
[whop]
CUSTOMER: Ah, thanks very much.
MORTICIAN: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
CUSTOMER: Right.

Mortican, Customer, and Dead from "Bring out your Dead" sequence in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, my all time favorite movie!

[DestinDave]

Monty Python... My all-time favorite show/movies/cast.


followed closely by: Dave Allen at Large, The Two Ronnies, Fawlty Towers... Any of this sound familiar to you Andrew???

P.S. Glad you're still among us Greg...

[TomS]

Greg,

Enthusiasm is contagous. Just keep talking it up. She'll eventually come around.

[dmb90260]

Monty Python... My all-time favorite show/movies/cast.

The Knight with no arms or legs threatening a bite.

you had to be there.

Hats off to my bro who is spending the $100 or so to be sure his grandson is initiated to the Python properly by giving him the full set for Christmas. The kid will never be the same, or better. He will keep those DVD's foreve.

I might split the hatch, but the bottom hatch would end up hanging down in the dirt. I still haven't decided.

I was thinking of side-hinged doors for the bottom part, like this Grasshopper but with the doors covering all the panel:

Talking of demises, Ronnie Barker (the larger, funnier one) died last week, so let's all have a laugh in his memory - I'm glad to say this was one of those rare occasions when someone's life really was celebrated on their death.

I think his masterpiece was 'Open All Hours' but his portrayal of a truly cantakerous Brit shopkeeper may have been considered unacceptable for a US audience.....
