i may end up with a few more hats than i want in buying some, and i want to know what the average head size or most common size hats are so. i will be able to move the extra hats instead of being stuck with them for ever. I take a fairly large hat, 7 3/4 and am told that this is really large and...
in the movie fargo

oil wick
on those early 66 and 99k, there was a coil spring thing to the right and the felt sat in it, take a piece of red felt and cut a little piece and poke it into the springy coil thing and then soak it with oil and it will lubricate the hook as it goes by. some machines also have one in...

Having been a jimmy stewart fan, only second fiddle to studebaker cars, this idea appeals me, just enjoy the good parts, my own life mirrors the board will close us down if you dont stay george. i know what it like to stay behind and save the building and...

only comfort in places you know

taken out of context
no dead grandmas on lawnchairs, no wilds rides through cemeteries or up and down mountains, just fifteen minutes out of town. I cant stand living here that well, somewhere it takes a hour or more to see countryside really sounds like living on the darkside. Folks we aint...

my caps lock on this keyboard, so no more capitals for me. my drives in the country now are peacefull and one of the few things that really calm my wife down and make her in peace. that said with the memories of fellow loungers such as paisley the memories of car sickeness...
driving and then there is a road trip.

more or less
I have been very pleased with the response to this thread, it seems that i have touched on a subject that connects to a lot of others on this subject. I have come to the realization that i really do enjoy what i do for a living, its more my frustation at running a small business in...
Daring to be different is fine.
I think we can all agree, being different is okay , you have to figure we on this forum are not normal nor would we wish to be. Working on a truck in the barn or drinking coffe in a nightgown is not terms to set your house on fire. I think the illegal stuff or...
