My tablet weighs maybe 2 pounds, just thought it was weird that little of weight.
There is that TSB about setting cellphones and computers on the passenger seat. RF seems to have an effect.

Hope that was supposed to be mpg's.

33.5 mph in a SS wouldn't be much to talk about.
Yep, you are right firemangeorge, actually the Ohio Highway Patrol were so bad on the holiday weekend, I was too scared to shift out of first gear...john

Just thought of mine fondly, they're home in Carolina, and I'm in Texas.

I really miss the days when Avis would have a rental HHR waiting for me at the airport, so I could just plonk my luggage and flight bags in the cargo compartment and then crank it up and go.

No playing the "Find the Switches Game", or thinking "OK, what mental giant at GM or Toyota decided to hide the bleeping power mirror switches/bleeping power seat switches/bleeping trunk release/bleeping fuel door opener on the (insert model name here)?".

And now I specify Chevy Camaro's from Avis, will not leave the lot in anything else, but where on Earth did they get 99% of the Yellow ones built in a given model year?

Boy Oldblue, Hudson is growing like a weed, he'll be wanting to borrow your HHR before you know it.

Man it looks like Niagra Falls has really changed a good bit since I've seen it at ground level(last visit was in 1990), my usual view is from 20,000-35,000 feet up, and several nautical miles to one side or the other, thanks to Bin Laden's idiots, etc.

Direct Commercial overflights are restricted due to anti-terrorist measures and NOTAM's, but some tourist Sightseeing Flights are allowed, there's money to be made if a carrier wishes to jump through American and Canadian regulatory hoops.

Very glad to see you're both out and about.

We were bored out of our skulls so we met up with Hudson and his Mom in Niagara Falls ( slowly I turn!) for dinner! Great cure for a case of cabin fever!

Oldblue, I can always trust you to quote a classic

"Derelict: I haven’t always been a derelect … like you.

Lou Costello: Don’t call me those kind of bad names!

Derelict: Would you like to hear my story?

Lou Costello: No

Derelict: Very well, then I’ll tell it to you.

Bud Abbott: Go ahead

Derelict: Thank you … many years ago my father gave me the benefit of a very good education (sad music playing) … then .. I met her. She was beautiful … glorious. We were married. two years later – a baby boy. I haven’t seen that boy till this very day.

Lou Costello: Did you say a little baby boy?

Derelict: Yes!

Lou Costello: Did he have brown eyes?

Derelict: Yes he did!

Lou Costello: And two little teeth in the front?

Derelict: [Excitedly] Yes, yes!

Lou Costello: And black hair?

Derelict: Yes!

Lou Costello: Daddy!

Bud Abbott: Oh what’s the matter with you? Sit still! Keep quiet. Stop interupting the man!

Lou Costello: Well, I thought I found my father!

Bud Abbott: Quiet! – go ahead.

Derelict: Thank you. We were very happy, my little family. One morning we were seated around the breakfast table and a knock came at the door. There stood a man. He was broken in health and spirit. I bade him enter, I welcomed him into my home. I said ‘make my home your home’…and he did! One day I returned from work to find that home was no longer a home. My wife … the baby… and the stranger had fled. Then one day … on the banks of the Niagara Falls I found them. Suddenly my brain snapped. All the years of pent up emotion of years suffering welled up within me. I knew I would never be satisfied until I had my bony fingers wrapped around his throat. So with murder in my heart … slooooooowly I turned [acting this out as he speaks, focusing on Lou], step by step, step by step I crept upon him [creeping towards Lou] and when I saw the stare in his face … I struck and I grabbed him [Grabs Lou and starts pushing him against the wall and shouting at him]

Bud Abbott: What’s the matter? Why are you interupting the man for?

Derelict: My poor friend, I’m sorry. But everytime I hear the words Niagara Falls, I just want to kill!

Lou Costello: Take it easy pal, take it easy!"
