    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Oops! Sorry.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Not a bit! In fact, I may have to splurge for a chip butty and some mushy peas this week...

    Oh gosh, I LOVE mushy peas. It's like the thickest split-pea soup you've ever had. We have a little place right here in Bennington that sells it.

    Wondering if anyone can tell me what B-3 jacket went with my grandfather's A-3 pants.

    A-3 Pants?

    It occurred to me just a few minutes ago that it's possible the tag on my A-3 pants can be used to interpret what B-3 my grandfather would have had along with it. I assume it must have been a B-3 since they were apparently paired as a flight suit when issued. Can any of the vintage jacket crowd...

    Original Perry Mixed Batch B3

    No, not yet. I have a couple cars to build and three daughters to raise. I would really love one, though, as a cold-weather driving coat for the sporty roadster I have planned. I wonder if the tag on my A-3 pants can be used to interpret what B-3 my grandfather would have had along with it? I...

    Hand Knitted Harris Wool Socks (very cheap!)

    Looks swell! Thanks for the image. I'm in need of some tall, dark-blue socks to wear with breeks, so I'm weighing my options.

    It just occurred to me that you might get a kick out of seeing my grandfather's A3 pants, Xopher. Apparently they were made by Aero.

    Is it worth it?

    I paid $100 a few years ago for a Lee boater in similar shape and thought it was a reasonable price. Size makes a difference, of course--a 6 3/4 boater is probably only worth $40, but a 7 3/8 or larger is easily a $100 hat.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I took Civ Pro II and Tax in the same semester my oldest daughter was born. Big mistake!

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    That kind of thing falls closer to the "routine maintenance" end of the scale than the "major restoration" end. I expect you'll have little trouble. Your shop manual or the good folks at p15-d24.com should tell the tale.

    Even if you can request those records without being his next of kin, there's a good chance they were destroyed in the big St. Louis records fire in 1973.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    You're fortunate, sheeplady, I graduated in 2001 and the former Home Ec classrooms had long since been subdivided into ordinary classrooms--though their ovens were still intact. Auto shop was similarly long gone.

    You joke, but that landed my mom in the hospital a few years back.

    Barnstormer Regrets?

    Your Google skills clearly outpace my own, because I didn't find those. Thanks!
