    Ebay sellers account update

    I think the difference with PayPal and eBay is that PayPal went through their trials, and came out trustworthy. I know a lot of people who were extremely skeptical about PayPal when it first started. What eBay is doing now is saying if there's a dispute with a buyer, eBay can just reach into...

    What's for Dinner?

    Grilled salmon with baked garlic potato wedges and thick-cut asparagus.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've given up on watering wands. The only spray nozzles I trust anymore are the stainless steel ones. The plastic nozzle break with the lightest of touch.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My mother, fed up with kinking, leaky hoses, found the most durable hoses she could at a local garden center, and despite the expense, bought four of them. She still has those very hoses 20 years later, and *knock-on-wood* they've yet to kink or leak. Investing in good garden hoses is a highly...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Sadly, no before photos of mine, but the sales photos out there are pretty accurate to what you get: a flat, plastic looking brown color. I followed the instructions from here to get the antiqued look I wanted...

    Heh, my grandparents had a similar story. Neither finished high school, and met while working for Armour. Grandad went into the Army during Korea, married my grandmother, and had three boys. Funny thing is that was my grandfather's second marriage - to the same woman. My dad's side has a habit...

    My great grandparents come from Warsaw to Chicago to work the infamous Union Stockyards. Their daughter-in-law moved from Paducah, KY for the same reason. That's how my grandparents met. My dad grew up in the Back of The Yards neighborhood until he was 7, and does not fondly recall the smell. He...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I find that laugh tracks on sit-coms tend to ruin the jokes via forced laughter. It doesn't help when the sit-com hits the laughs every other line, effectively killing any humor in any of the ACTUAL jokes.

    What hat do you wear most (and why)?

    I highly recommend them. I actually got mine on a steal from eBay due to a "blemish" on the brim that I've yet to confirm exists. The seller's photos on eBay advertised it open crown, but it came creased. I ended up recreasing into a more accurate Raider's Turn anyway. What I love about it is...

    Work gloves?

    Yep, I have a pair of white Wells Lamont gloves that work great as vintage work gloves.

    Bought these Corcoran boots and re-dyed them! Really happy with how they came out.

    Old smells, that immeditately transport you back in time?

    Don't know why, but I picked up some sandalwood scented soap the other day in the supermarket, and the smell sent me right back to my childhood.

    What hat do you wear most (and why)?

    Definitely my HJ Poet. It's comfortable. I love how it feels when I put it on.

    Vintage Hat Ads from Newspapers

    Always loved the ads with a pipe in the mouth. Dunno why, but I have a nostalgia for it.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Had the guys over for a card game on Sunday. Polished off the bottle of Jack.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Been on a horror movie kick for a while now. Most of them crappy b-movies from the Sci-Fi Channel I watched as a kid. They all have the same general plot as Jaws: creature attacks, sheriff wants to close the big summer attraction, mayor/rich guy says no, more attacks happen, sheriff is sent to...

    Vehicles owned by Outerwear members?

    What a coincidence! That's the exact same fate that befell my '99 9-3! A guy was inching into the intersection in the left turn lane to turn when the light hit green, and I made a tight left on stale green, smashing both our front ends. I ended up using the insurance payout for a down payment on...
