That is a good one Wilton!

In your case, it was "Put Otto in it"
In my case,  it was "Put it on Otto"


Our B-52 wing commander at Kincheloe AFB, MI, for a while was Col. 
Otto Kovar; we called 'im "Otto Pilot."

"Otto"  As in "Otto is driving."  It was Germanification of the 
first part of Autopilot.

Looks like an interesting challenge. As in "May you live in interesting 
times".
Needs front spring. Is this rotten spring mount, or is it not applicable 
to 123's?
There was an 87 124TD in Cow Hampshire for $1250 that I lusted after, 
had to settle for the 190DT for $350, plus going to fetch it.

That's another story.
Hope springs eternal.

Well, it has 250k left, so you could probably get a lot of depreciation 
off the $750firm investment.  Does New Hampster have inspection now?  I 
thought it was still Live Free and Die up there.  Must be the influence 
of all the massholes who moved up there to escape taxes, and brought all 
their bad habits with them.
