Can somebody help me?

As my faithful readers know, I am trying to get the former WIXYmobile back together. All parts have been obtained, except for the rear bumper and brackets. We have called scrap yards all around the Cleveland and Akron areas, without luck. The former WIXYmobile is a blue 1999 Chevy Metro. If anyone has an idea or lead contact me. My email address is 74wixygrad@gmail.com. Thank you.

How about you just get a 2 x 6 and bolt it onto the back. That should give the WIXY mobile some class, and improve the aerodynamic design. Just think improved gas mileage, and the babes will love it too!

I will have to ask Mrs74WIXYgrad about the babes part.

cliff-contact tony estrada at ABE AutoParts on SOuth Honeytown Rd, 1 mile south of Old 30 on the East side of Wooster. Tony has been in business for about 30 years and has helped me repair some of my cars over the years. He is reliable, honest and if he doesn't have it , he can find it--david5258

I like WZZP's idea.........If you lived closer I'd give you a cross-tie from one of the railroad's round here....just because it might absorb more shock from the rear than a 2 x 6 would upon impact.

Hey, don't laugh......it's a common sight in this neck of the woods! :) While at the same time eliminating the "worthy" babes!

A cross-tie might be too heavy for the WIXYmobile. It might make it drag, or do wheelies. It might also cut down on the gas mileage and WIXY needs every drop.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
