We also have a landline with cordless phones. Now, during a power outage we lose cellphone signal and of course the cordless phones, so we have an old push button landline phone stashed away to plug into the socket - the telephone line has separate power so invariably that will work so we can contact the power company etc. 😉 Thanks...😊 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700F 32.0 GB memory Windows 11 Home Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060

Hook So, you are essentially ON-Hook more than OFF-Hook? 😅 Far too many decades ago my mom, dad, and I were on a trip to "somewhere I can't remember), but I do remember having to make an emergency stop for car repair and the owner of the shop lending us use of his new 1956 Studebaker "Golden Hawk." Man I was really impressed with that car. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
July 28, 20205 yr Definitely ON-Hook! 😄 Studebaker Golden Hawk: sporty before sporty was cool. I wish I had gotten to see a real one. Have a look at pics of the Studebaker Avanti. It still looks modern. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

July 28, 20205 yr Something amusing about the Avanti. There was a time when the rear looked dated, after Corvette went from similar styling to something new. Eventually this wore off, and the Avanti looks modern again. 😄 Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
July 28, 20205 yr The rear window looks very Jensen Interceptor, along with a nod to the Buick Riviera boattail IMHO.. another muscle car I'd like to have..
