1987 Eldorado Starfire. Based on a Lincoln Continental Mark III
I do not believe it was a MK III, they stopped making them in 71. I had a 74 MK IV.
Thinking MK VII
Excellent set Cederq. The sheep herder is probably Basque maybe in Spain. If you have never been to Coronado Island you need to visit.
Lots of Basque-like sheepherders in the wilds of Utah, you see these sheepherder wagons around there a LOT.
after a couple of years as a grunt, the whole idea of camping doesn’t really do anything for me. I did get talked into it one time with a female co worker a long time ago. had a sort of good time. but most of it was trying to keep the other people there from killing themselves doing stupid shit. some of them tried rock climbing for the first time. only one broken tibia to splint. lots of cuts and they had no idea what plants to stay away from, guess what happen to about half of them ?
anyway, the girl in question got a bit scared about the way I handled problems
and getting dumb fucks to the hospital. we didn’t date after that trip.
she called me a cold hearted bastard about things and that scared her
which is kind of weird coming from a bunch of medical people ?
I moved on from that job inside of 6-8 months
The third thing that tests a marriage is building or remodeling a house together. A lot of laying the hammer down and walking away until you have cooled off enough to talk without using expletives.
True that. My then girlfriend and I self contracted a house on a lot her Father had willed to her. I’m a CAD architectural draftsman, so the design was mine to do. We worked after our day time jobs and weekends. I told her if the experience did not break us up we had a good chance of sticking together. Installing drywall, wall papering the restrooms and getting rid of building materials there were times when patience ran short. But 26 years, two kids, a dissertation for a doctorate and recent retirement and here we are.
At a boat ramp, where you can see a cluster fuck about every 10 minutes, there was one with a kid about 16 yo with a sign. “Save your marriage. Let me back your trailer. $5.00”
