    Yes, we are in agreement. I can tell by what you said in your post that you have real life experience being out in the weather. The "keep you warm when wet" line is one that is so often used by folks who have never been really wet or really cold, and I always laugh when I hear it used. No...

    My son came by this afternoon and climbed the ladder again to finish up on that last little bit of the wall we had to leave last week due to the storm. I'm glad this is one more project that I can now mark as "done."

    I always laugh when I hear "wool is warm even when wet." What it should be is, "wool is warmer than other materials when wet." I've been out in the cold and have been wet while wearing wool. I was still cold, but not as cold as I would have been if I'd been wearing cotton. :) :) :)

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I rode with one of my good friends on a 200+ mile trip one time. He drove a Toyota. My knees hit the dash, so I couldn't scrunch down in the seat, which caused my head to not quite fit in the car. After about 20 miles of riding with my head turned sideways, I had to have some relief...

    I don't even want to think about how many old lighters just like that I played with (and lost) as a kid. Of course thy weren't that old back then, but I sure do wish I had them now.

    It just keeps looking better every time I pass by. Where, oh where, is the Prize Patrol with my Publisher's Clearing House winnings?

    I was afraid the steering wheel would have to be pulled to change the bulb. Guess that's one light that will stay out. [huh]

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I have a question concerning my 1965 Ford Custom 500 that I hope someone here can answer. The light on the automatic transmission shifter indicator burned out yesterday. I know the bulb is located somewhere along the column, but where? How do you find the bulb to change it? I've looked all...

    Well, I went by there yesterday afternoon and it's still there. It's still calling my name, but I'm trying my best to resist. On a better note, my son has shown interest in the car. I think he's going to go by and look at it today.

    I'd like to just be able to take it half way, but that ain't going to happen either. :) And again, I wouldn't have it any other way.

    The light on this stove is just above the controls (and it still works, too).

    Let me give you a little hint, it continues past teens and into adults (then comes grandchildren). :eeek: But I wouldn't have it any other way.

    That's a great photo; not only the subjects, but the color and composition. Fantastic.

    I was able to get an element for my stove this morning and it's back in business now. Here's an old photo of my stove from back in the day. This is the earliest photo of the stove I could find, and was taken in May, 1956. That's my Mother holding me at the kitchen table at my Grandmother's...

    I'd just like to be able to find a "modern" car that I can fit into without having to be some kind of contortionist.
