Yep, I do TXT a lot! Th@ Pic was taken @ my leased coconut/banana place on the Island Of Mindanao, RP! (PI) The "Tiki Torches" is just my N8ive Hammock. I was RELAXING!! ;-) All kidding aside, about 7 or 8 years ago, I saw wh@ was gonna happen & started searching 4 a place 2 go when this country got 2 bad 4 me 2 live in. I searched the Internet & finally boiled it down to about 6 countries. The PI was my choice, since I had been there several times when I was in the NAVY (Nam)! I been there more times than I can count, both in the Navy & as a civilian. Probably will die there, since I feel more @ home there than here. This is A BAD THING 4 A Veteran 2 say, but WTH, AADTICDAI! (Ain't A D** Thing I Can Do About It) In the PI, life is gud, the females are sorta like they were here in the 50's, the MAN is #1! (Wimmin's Lib ain't got a real foothold over there!) Neither has PETA & Other a55holes! Fireworks are gud & better ones than we can get here. Cockfighting is LEGAL & is the National Sport! Food is Cheap (mostly). Cars are also cheap, unless u want a brand new one! Gas is about the same as here, but it is sold by the liter, so a comparison is hard 2 do. Folks is really friendly & unless u really f*ck up, they don't hassle u. I am a COUNTRY BOY, H8 cities, so leased a nice place up in the hills with a gr8 view,can see all the way 2 White Island & it is up above all the pollution & is 10 degrees cooler than down the hill. There is a EXTREMELY ROCKY JEEP Proving-Ground 2 traverse 2 get there, which keeps out the rifraff & low-riders, hawhaw! Looking 4 a more permanent place, but have a 10-year lease on this one, so I have time 2 look! Got me a MAID & Caretaker 4 the place, so it is not deserted. Servants are extremely cheap there. for less than $2.50/DAY, (not per hour, per day!) it is possible 2 hire a guy 2 swing a machete all day! Skilled labour is higher, of course, but stil several degrees of magnitude cheaper than here! Got me a N8ive Jeep (Stainless Steel Body/Jap Motor) & A Classic Chevrolet Pick-Em-Up truck from the L8 60's /Early 70's exact build d8 unknown. Was "assembled in Manila" according 2 the placard on the drivers side Kick Panel! Hopefully, when the Ball Drops, I will observe the Whole Thing On Line & will be able 2 survive on coconuts & bananas & trade the excess 4 wh@ I don' raise! I's back home in Virginia Now, 2 sort out some stuffs & cut the grass & buy stuffs th@ is unavailable there. "I Shall Return" B4 the Snow Flies, probably L8 September or Early October, asuming the Planes are StillFlying, hehehe!! My lady is also there w8ing impatiently 4 me 2 return. ;-) Hit the Link 4 a place 2 order this book. I always get the el-cheapo used ones, but if u wanna waste $$ there is a new one available as well. CC

Sure is a nice 73 Chev.

Well, according 2 the registr8ion, it is a 1984! But I think th@ is wrong! The Grille was a 72,according 2 folks on another forum. But, like I said, it was ASSEMBLED IN MANILA, so it could be made outta left-over parts, etcetc. Only reason it survived as long as it did, was it was PARKED 4 many years. It fell into the hands of a car freak, who did many modific8ions 2 it, like headers, power steering, AC (which does not woik, which is OK with me!) 3rd Brake light, disc brakes on the front & a VW carb (2 save gas). But, alas, it "Burned 2 Much Fuel" so was parked sorta indoors. I did several other modific8ions & replaced all the sh1t th@ usually goes wrong with a vehicle th@ has s@ 2 long! Brakes, water pump, etcetc. & I finally got a Genuine GM carb, which really makes a difference! I really love th@ truck & miss it! (But I have vehicles here as well.) CC

Beautiful Truck, C C! And yes, the grill looks like a '72...

Looks like life is good;do you have a website or is there another place you post? Sounds like the kind of retirement we all deserve.
