But yes, it does have a name. Frankie the Fox, because this is going to be one hell of a Frankenstein job when I'm done.



Just the dollar store stuff, and yes... Simple Green.
Foxenstein is kinda catchy lol.

After:
Looks like it's time to rent a "Hotsy" steam cleaner and do Frankie a good ole' cleaning. You will be happy with the results. I use ZEP 50 for the cleaner, and the Hotsy, and you should have a like new engine bay when you are done. Looks good after the cleaning, yet the ZEP will clean any residue off.

Yea! I'm a Sci Fi reader and viewer. I can take or leave the likes of the Star Wars stuff but I'd love to see some more along the lines of Riddick or Torchwood. Looked Dark Matter up and it was on the Sci Fi channel and I may have seen some of it. It said the series is available on, On Demand, I will check it out. Thanks. Arnold has showed up on some of the Expendable movies but he is definitely showing his age. Do cyborgs age? lol

Frankenstein was the doctor not the monster. I argued with my dad over this when I was about 6 thinking it was the monster. I lost the argument after reading a child's abridged version then known as Classic Comics that my dad picked up for me. Been a few blasts from the past here on thinking lately.

Dark Matter is free on Netflix. It's good, definitely a favorite. Not crazy about Arnolds newer movies, he was good though in the last Terminator. Liked Riddick, yea Starwars has gotten a little lame lol. Haven't seen Torchwood yet, heard of it though....is it good?

Torchwood is really good. It's a spinoff of Dr. Who without all the idiotic corniness. Torchwood is a group led by a guy from another planet that is similar to The Highlander. He's been around a long time protecting the planet. If you like Sci Fi, this is a must. I recently saw something about a Torchwood movie being made.

Yep. Star Wars writing seems to be all about getting in one liners for a laugh. It gets old quick.

People tell me all the time I don't look a day over 60. 65 in 21 days. Last year my granddaughter got me a T shirt that said "I may be old but I saw all the cool bands." Which is true, IMO. My first concert was Hendrix at Olympia Stadium in Detroit. My sister had to take me to get the car for her and her friends to go. She hated that and she hated me for it. They were going to see the Monkee's which Hendrix opened up for. Zepplin played 3 nights in a row at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in 69 and I saw 2 of the 3 nights. Got in free for one and the other was $3.50. Then there was Snake and Mongoose about once a month a Detroit Dragway during the summer. Damn, the list is long so old doesn't bother me.
