Nice try. You're not getting Mellow Yellow that easily, my friend!

Indeed. We camped by Upper Cultus Lake a couple times last year. It's
one of two places we are considering for this coming weekend, but the
temps are still a bit low, being no more than upper 60's (F) in the
afternoon and just a smidge above freezing at night.

I believe it was Foghorn Leghorn who said, while gathering up his
feathers which had been blown off his body by a stick of dynamite, that
"Fortunately for me, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an
occasion!"

Are these parts for sale, in case the local body shop needs a right rear
quarter panel for an '84? How about a hatch? Rear bumper?
