I spent the better portion of my previous week at the Pate Swap Meeting at Texas Motor Speedway. Like most swap meets, you just never know what you might encounter. I walked up on these “Jaws of life” tools created/patented by George Hurst. Clearly not the “Hurst” product you might expect at a swap meet!!! But still pretty significantly cool!!

Maybe some of our youngsters never realized the significance of this revolutionary invention. Many LIVES saved..

I've seen a demo of them wielded by men who knew how to use them. They wrecked a car, and removed it off the dummy, and were able to get a stretcher right beside him.

Now, the hoods around here are using them to break into ATMs.... The world works in strange ways.

Question is, did you see any Olds parts? Buy anything?

I picked up a 70-2 console, some fog light brackets for the ‘40 and a 15” SS III wheel which another Olds guy ended up needing more than I did.😂. I also purchased a 42” round sign mount ring for an Olds sign that came from Dave McCord’s estate. It will be going up in the shop.

Another great Pate Day!

Clearly I enjoy myself as I annually allocate three days of vacation time per year, much to the chagrin of my supervisor. 😁
