    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Secrets: Shrunken Heads. Very fascinating! If you were a boy in the 50s or 60s, you probably had one of the fake heads. The only tribe to practice the art was the Shuar, also, the only tribe that were not concurred by the Conquistador's! The show used forensic techniques to make a computer...

    Weapons in the Movies

    They were retired from front line service in late 1916. Maybe the writers confused the Eindecker with the Fokker DVIII, not sure how, other then they both were monoplanes! Whats the old Hollywood joke, don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My truck is still waiting for the recall fix, it will be one month this weekend! They are all doing their Sergeant Schultz impressions at the dealers. Now I read on the internet, it may be mid July until a fix comes out. The differential is leaking, if a gasket wont fix it, replace entire...

    I'm still getting used to the last century is no longer the 19th century! A couple of friends and I have a running gag where we say, sounding like cartoon gold prospectors talking to his donkey out in the desert, "I remember back in ought nine Betsy, nuggets, big as your fist, all you had to do...

    I just remembered, I have the old Guns And Ammo from the 70s with a .22 quarter scale Gatling!

    Weapons in the Movies

    At first the price of the .22 version seemed pretty high, then I remembered, a long time ago, I bought some plans for one, and even back then I think the raw castings were not much under $5,000!

    Kind of fitting, when you consider, the last known person born in the 1800s just passed away!

    Pree WWII style beach racing in Aus

    They just had the dirt drags at Monte Vista, Colorado this last weekend. My neighbor went and said it was fantastic. I think these vintage beach/dirt races are only going to get bigger! http://www.royboyproductions.com/2017/06/05/2017-hot-rod-dirt-drags-pt-1/

    Old gas stations

    Humble left no doubt in your mind that ENCO gas was going into Jimmy's Lotus! Note the Tiger In Your Tank sign, and the tiger tail fuel line.

    Old gas stations

    It was 1965, the first nationally televised Indianapolis 500. Bobby Johns drove Lotus #83 to 7th at Indianapolis. Jim Clark in Lotus #82 won, the first rear engine car to ever do so.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finally watched the last episode of Victorian Slum House. I cut them a little more slack then most here. Lets face it, you can not really show the true face of the slums with out a lot of deaths, especially the children! Yes, they did pack to many decades into to little time, but I'm not sure...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I had to drive my mother to a lot of doctor appointments during her final years. I got where I could mostly tune her out. I am the type, if someone cuts me off, my road rage consist of me using a choice word or two, then it is over, and I feel fine, basically a momentary on switch. My mother...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Genius. I feel more and more sorry for Mileva. You have to wonder what great achievements she may have accomplishments if she had not had the breakdown and a husband that was completely out of touch with human emotions.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I had a big lunch today with friends. On the way home at 6:00 I new I had better eat something, or I would be hungry at 11:00 at night, not a good thing! So I stopped in at Arby's for a Jr Roast Beef sandwich, discontinued, along with the small Ham & Cheese. The smallest is their Classic Roast...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    A flood of memories just overtook my poor little brain. Can't tell you how many times I went over to a new friends house back in the 60s, only to be greeted by one of the many paint by number Jesus's!

    Old gas stations

    That's interesting, most people seem to be the other way round. During the 50th anniversary of JFK assassination, I asked a lot of people my age and older, what color was the flag on his coffin? Invariably they would say, "red, white and blue." I would say, so your family was rich and had a...
