I get scam e-mails fairly often. I can't figure out why they escape through the filters, but some do. Most go right to the junk e-mail. Occassionaly I get one that grabs my attention. Which I suppose is the goal for these scammers. Anyway, enjoy. It will be in the junk e-mail now that I...

Oh dang, I forgot a couple of beater cars. 2003 Toyota Corolla (The Crayola) 2005 Infiniti G35 These two were my daily drivers to work. The Crayola was just too small and uncomfortable, so I sold that and found the Infiniti. I drove that for a couple of years, and ended up giving it to my...

This trip down memory lane should be fun!! 1969 Ford LTD (was supposed to be mine, but a$$ of a stepdad kept it in his name) 1974 Chevy Vega (let my sister borrow it, and the ledfoot blew the engine) 1965 Plymouth Fury III (great car, same sister blew that one also...she never borrowed any of...

Our town was originally going to be a golf course community. We had 9 holes done in the back of the development. But the developer went broke and the golf course never really happened. The back half where it was turned into large acre homesites (2 - 10+ acres). The pro shop burned down back...

Dang man. Those are some nice perch. Nicely done. Can't wait until you show us the record!

Oh, no "suddenly" about it. I've always liked the sound. I even had a Cherry Bomb on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III (4 door), with a 318 single exhaust. It sure sounded better than the stock exhaust though. Funny story, I was watching one of the many restoration shows on Motor Trend TV. They...

"The lack of a V-8 option is sure to upset some Dodge diehards, but the automaker is keen to point out that the standard output produces more horsepower and torque than the 5.7-liter V-8 in the outgoing R/T, while the high-output motor outdoes the old Scat Pack's 6.4-liter V-8." One other thing...

about 3 years. They had about 2500 miles or so on 'em. Yes, they were some China bombs, and it was pretty weird how they were fine for so long, then on one drive, 3 of them blew. I did check the air, as I always do before I leave for a trip. They were fine.

Well, a few years back, we took the camper to San Antonio (from Houston). The stay there was actually fine. We stayed at the FamCamp at Lackland AFB, and while nothing spectacular, it was pretty cheap and adequate for our needs. The problem cam on the way back home. About 50 miles or so out...

I have a viewing lens (a 2 X 4 inch lens) that I got in Hawaii back in 1994 to view an eclipse there. It has been stored in a small envelope made for it, and it still works great. I actually used it to take pictures of the last eclipse. Just held the lens to the end of my zoom lens. It...

Well, I'm not sure what my original post in here said as far as years go, but since we're updating, it has been 34 years since I quit. Well, close to that (actual quit date was 9/11/1992).

I stopped wearing a watch as soon as we started working from home for Covid (March 2020). Due in part to peripheral neuropathy, I have hypersensitive touch, especially my feet and ankles. But the rest of my body now is much more sensitive to touch than it used to be. The watch just really...

I have a beard and mustache, and only shave around those every couple of weeks. I also wear glasses and can't see the end of my nose without them. So I have to shave at the sink. Besides, 45+ years of shaving at a sink is a hard thing to try and change. If I saw a real advantage, and could...

Well, welcome to the forum. Yessir, if you have any questions, bring 'em on. There is a ton of knowledge here. Someone will have an answer for you. Again, welcome, and hope to see you down the road.

I am very lucky to have a 10 acre lake out my back door. I just walk out the back door, grab my pole, and catch two and three pound bass all the time. I have caught a couple that went north of 7 pounds, and bunches of smaller ones. In fact, I caught a little 1 pounder just today. Here is one...
