    Show us your Guns!

    Hi I talked with the Dan Wesson guys at the 1993 NRA Convention, those are really great guns. It's way too back that they didn't stay in business. later

    Suggest first Panama

    Hi I'd suggest the least expensive one that Bob sells because it's not likely that you'll get the dimensions you love the first time out. If you luck out and DO get the perfect hat, you can always buy the best quality one next season. Later

    A Cocktail that has really grown on me: The Bloody Mary

    Hi I use the Zing Zang for Red Beer too, that's great. I saw a Bloody Mary recipe that included Guinness, but I just can't go there. Later

    Zootshooting

    Hi I have a feeling that Lawless will swell the ranks of Zoot shooters. From what I saw of the preview, it's quite the action movie. later

    What ever happened to station wagons?

    Hi I'm shocked, shocked I say to see that Mr. Lyles found that sucker. Facing rearward as tail gunner was pretty fun as a kid. Later

    What ever happened to station wagons?

    Hi The over six foot thing is almost certainly dependent on which mini-van you get into. I'm 6'2" and my old Gran Caravan was fine. Being up high is better for finding your way around new places. Being low is far better for high speed turns, not a soccer mom activity. I would think a...

    What ever happened to station wagons?

    Hi The basic soccer mom vans are great. You can keep all of your stuff in the back. The mini-van's are up higher than a station wagon, so you can see in traffic better, they're lighter and get decent gas mileage. I don't know of any with the old rear-facing seat though. The last rear facing...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi James I go there quite a bit, nice place, MOST of the people I work with out there are great, however a lot of the US would change that to "California SHOULD be a country all by itself." I just wish I could afford to live in Long Beach. It's the only facility that know of that our company...

    I need Fedora suggestions! [New]

    Hi Well while you're checking Ebay, you should continue to save up the hat $. Maybe something nice will show up for a low price, if it doesn't, then you'll have money for the good stuff. later

    Going to work in vintage apparal

    Hi This amazes me in that we (aerospace) have always been lax at best in our dress, but we're also never been intimated by anybody in a suit. The 1960's aerospace worker wore a white short sleeved shirt, dark pants, dress shoes, a skinny tie, and a pocket protector with one pen of each color...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Hi Che Great look. It's really weird that you're in an old part of town, wearing vintage or old clothing and shoes, you have a touch of gray hair, but you sure don't look decrepit. You just look cool as heck with the brim back too. You need to send that picture set in to get it published...

    Could This Be the new Air Force Dress Uniform???

    Wrong, Patton had a sense of history and a certain amount of taste (gold helmet not withstanding). At least the uniform GSP invented was the same color as motor oil and was FOR tank crewmen. I could see Pinks and Greens, a decent USAF Blue version of the Post WW1 uniforms, but those look like...

    Articles says men lose fashion sense at age 37....

    Hi Edward I think you can just change that one to " He is always immaculately dressed, but I've yet to see a single photograph of Charles Windsor where he appears remotely comfortable." He always looks tight, stressed, and completely uncomfortable in his surroundings. Prince Phillip and...

    The Great Beer Thread

    According to the brewer's bible by Papazian (Spelling?) Lite Beer was invented to get more people drink more beer. Apparently, the idea was to get everyone to like the same kind of beer. If it has no taste, you can't say it tastes bad. Later

    Forgot my hat...

    Hi You'll have to find a 1940's style WW2 aircraft plant hard hat to wear. Someone still makes aluminum ones, that are coated to be electrically safe. When I started working aircraft, several of the old timers wore aluminum hats in the shop. Gotta go vintage...

    Hell On Wheels Hats

    Hi The Hell on Wheels hats aren't my style, I like the wider brimmed jobs like Clint Eastwood (especially Josey Wales) and John Wayne wore. From several books of period photographs, both the wider brimmed styles and the bowler styles were worn by just about everyone. Some of the later cowboy...

    Articles says men lose fashion sense at age 37....

    HI Good post Fletch, I remember seeing pictures of the elite in past centuries wearing fitted suits of various styles. The 40 year olds had theirs fitted over the gut. That's not a look I consider stylish. I was warned about the 40 year old growth spurt. My neighbor is 4 years older than...
