Fifty Cent Cub Jack

[George Willer]

BrianJ,

i've been corrected by my rap-loving friends numerous times on this, and so i thought i'd let you know so that you don't commit the same faux pas as me (even though i know you aren't "pronouncing it" when you write it) ... it's spelled "fifty", but only stuck-up white folks like me say "fifty-cent" - it's pronounced "Fitty"

http://www.50cent.com/

and just so that you know.. have you ever drank "Vitamin Water"??? that's part of 50's long list of money-making ventures:

"To coincide with this month's release of his new CD, beverage marketer Glaceau introduced a platinum label for its popular grape-flavored Formula 50 vitamin water. The drink, co-created by 50, has sold 10 million bottles since its October launch."

if i could only be shot 9 times, live, and be a rapper!

Our product, WD-50 has been on the back burner for a while because we were disappointed in our marketing surveys. In spite of its improvements over WD-40 it wasn't expected to do well. Perhaps we should do additional surveys for WD-Fiddy and WD-Fitty?

George,

make it "Formula Fitty", and you'll get the sales!

p.s. of course, i'll let you do the royalty negotiations with 50... ;^)

Eugene the folks here had lots of nice size 14's and 16's. What size are you so I can keep my eyes open. If you and EJP can pry yourselves away from Cubarama for a little while next year there are always some great sales going on around Frederictown. I think they had some nice clothes last year

I didn't negotiate the price. It was marked fitty cent. I paid the lady fitty cent. The lady could not move it and wanted it gone...No problem

My '59 has always had the wrong, old style spindles and steering arms and one of the steering arms was welded to the top of the spindle shaft. It could never be aligned correctly.

I have the correct keyed steering arms and splindles on her now and its perfect except for the square keys. I stopped at NAPA yesterday and they didn't have them. I think these keys are available, right ??

She's also going to get a new custom adjustable seat, a bent shifter, a new radiator, coil, battery cable, wiring harness, and tune up before the valve goes back on. Still have to do the pump rebuild too.

Then she will be ready to flail and if you never saw Francisca flail. Well...i just won't go there.

I had a jack like that I won't say what I did with mine.

Mikey, you can get square key stock at TSC and make your own lenghts.

We don't have a TSC for the things we need out here, out here. Maybe Ace Hdwr., Home Depo, or Lowes.

Thanks Donny

[Don McCombs]

We don't have a TSC "out here" either. Interestingly, there is one in the city of Cumberland, MD. Kinda tells you who their target market really is, doesn't it?

McMaster part number 98830A200, $0.73 for a 12" length.
or 92530A136 and $3.84 for a 12" length of 18-8 stainless. These prices are out of catalog 107 so they may be a bit higher today

[Arizona Mike]

Thank you Donny

Don, it sure does. On my trips back to the Heartland, I stop at a TSC store at least once or twice. They have a lot of useful things for the Cubs.
