Presidents Message:

  Really short article this month, things have been somewhat quiet since Oklahoma Thunder but I suspect we're all recouped by now and it's time to start planning some summer activities. As you'll see Mrs. Bailey has kicked it off with a dinner at Elmers bar-b-que in the middle of the month, so let's all attend and get our social schedule back on track.

  Here's some more of the "I'm out if things to talk about" space fillers!

  THE TRUE DEFINITION OF TOOLS

     HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouiji board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal you future becomes.

    TWEEZERS: A tool for removing wood splinters and wire wheel wires.

    E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known drill bit that snaps off in bolt holes you couldn't use anyway.

     TWO- TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the tensile strength on everything you forgot to disconnect.

    HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to cut hoses too short.

                                                          See You At Meeting.........J.B.

Corvette Trivia: May

On July 2, 1992 in Bowling Green Kentucky, a white Corvette roadster with red interior rolled down the assembly line. It marked what milestone in the number of Corvettes built?

1. 750,000

2. 1,250,000

3. 1,500,000

4. 1,000,000

Chevrolet deliberately arranged for the 1,000,000th car to be white with a red interior to show the continuity of the original concept. The headrest also had unique embroidery proclaiming the cars historical status.
