And, then we have the 'keyboard warriors ', don't get me started..

The ones that get me are all the reports I am supposed to review and meetings on stuff I don’t have access to. 2/3 of our company is on a different system

Why can't you "hack" your way into that system?

It’s all web based and you need access to like 4 different systems.

Last December the company I worked for merged(more like hostile takeover over) with a larger company. We are converting to their systems which suck and it has been such a train wreak they keep postponing the integration for our region. It was supposed to be back in February, then June, then July, then September. Now they are telling us Feb or March next year lol. Hopefully they get most of the issues sorted out by the time we switch over.

When I was in Twin Falls last week the Blue Angels were in town for an air show that weekend. Got to watch them practice in the evening after work Thursday and Friday right over my head.

No idea. I think they were just forming back up. They would split off and do maneuvers, then link back up and fly in formation for a while. It was fun to watch. Wish I had a late flight on Saturday, would have went and checked it out.

Who of you, see what things, in this picture, that reminds you of the "good old days".

blsfrs · 08-19-2025, 10:27 AM

For a 55 chevy, that's an odd paint scheme. I've never seen the bottom chrome strip nor the white on the lower panels. No V8 insignia below the tail lights even though it has dual exhaust. But I'm not picky or anything.

Stephen W. · 08-19-2025, 11:21 AM

The car: white walls on skinny tires, mud flaps, two tone paint scheme. I agree with blsfrs about the dual exhaust but no V8 emblems. Also that the lower chrome trim pieces and white lower section is new to me. I do remember that extra chrome (or stainless, polished alloy depending on the make and model) was a thing. I have seen ’55 Chevy’s with extra chrome that runs down the back of the front fender and along the rocker panel to in front of the rear fender.
Interesting side note, the door was opened with the window up and then the window was rolled down before the door was closed. Tell me how I know this.
The girl: kerchief covered hair cut with bangs, high wasted tight fitting clam diggers.

This count?

Stephen W. · 08-19-2025, 10:31 PM

The only thing I see that reminds me of the good old days is FUJICOLOR on the print border. That's because the wife managed up to three photo stores in the late 70’s early 80’s.

Haha. The door riddle has to do with it being a hardtop.

Also, it's probably a stick shift.

Yes but what in particular?

Nope, in 1955 you only had a choice between a column mounted 3 speed or automatic.
