How about something really off-topic?

So, any of you old VW bug freaks or motorcycle nuts? May as well talk about something fun while we're here. Wife told me that since I'm so sleep deprived, I don't get to work on my '79 Convertible (slow restoration) this weekend, but rather, I must lay around and rest (not nap, of course). I believe she may be mistaken.
Any fellow Blue Knights out there?

As long as you aren't sleeping, thats the perfect time to catch up on projects anyway. So long as the beast stays away. Insomnia during a cycle is one of the common themes.
Take advantage of it if you can...

Sorry your not sleeping. Know the insomnia road all too well. Actually, I always wanted a Bug. Since I was a kid I thought they were the coolest cars, and when we would be on long trips, me and my brothers would play a game where the first one to notice a Bug on the road would yell "Beetlebug" and got a point. Guess who always won?
If I got a classic, I'd want a blue one like this bad puppy.
If I got a new one, I'd get the U2 edition. 
Peace,
Carl

Oh the joys of teenagers...

We used to call that "Slug Bug" when I was a kid. Some things never change...

I used to own a 55 vw bug with a big bore kit, and my dad helped me build a 62 bug with a sun roof that had a porsche engine.....Lot's of fun back in the 70's and always had the cops looking at me.

when the kids were too big for slug bug (in other words, they would slug too hard and somebody would always get pissed) we started the "X bug" game. When you saw a bug you would do X and yell "X bug", but X couldn't hurt. And you couldn't use the same X twice. We've had fart bug, blow bug, blink bug, poke bug, tickle bug, slime bug, wet willie bug... you get the idea. I think it was more fun.

Three 68 bugs and a 68 fastback.
Kertzman VW holds the record for engine change on a bug (Quincy, mass) under two minutes.....Changed and running.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
