>How did I Hagar become so GOOD at TUNING ?.---glad you asked.
>
>First lets define the word TUNING. ---------- oh my ---you must go to,a dictionary
>or the NET for that one.
>
>So Hagar started with a Galena crystal and a Cats whisker and a variable capacitor.
>
>Moved on to a one tube (Valve) Radio ---yes DIY type. The feedback was a delicate
>TUNING procedure. Too much and she would squeel and too little she would not
>get the MUSIC.
>
>For my (our) American friends ? ----I love this pun ---- "RABBIT EARS" -----that is TUNING.
>that all the Big Apple volks understand. ?---EH ?
>
>I have several Satellite dishes pointed at the sky and multi element dipoles -----BUT
>do I still have RABBIT EARS ? ----bet your sweet ass.
>
>So today Hagar is a TUNING wizard ---class A1.--------------And a Rabbit Diesel 1977 to 1984
>NA or Turbo can be Hillbilly Tuned to perfection. ---- For POWER ? yes. ---for maximum
>"Smileage" like Bunny Bondo ? ---yes SIR. ---Whatever turns your crank.----LOL-.
>
>Please understand that America ---- has the finest generation of FINE TUNERS in the whole
>wide world. ---????? . yes all those little cuties who grew up with Rabbit Ears and
>Sesame Street and the Muppets ? -----take the best of those ? ---that is TUNING at its best
>IMHO.---------------man can they TUNE or what ? ----EH ?.
>
>Are you getting the drift ? ----your daughter or your wife ---may be what you need ? ---to
>listen to that Diesel. ------------- if she say's the Valves are noisy ---YOU better listen.
>
>Just now I got a call from one of the Crazy Sisters ---- they and I got to go and get a 1.6 L
>NA block at 1530 ----- so my goose is cooked for the day. . Just think ? falling in LOVE
>with a woman at 73 ? ---- I just LOVE that Lenora girl. -----NO shit.
