    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Hi Lizzie, that's because it's actually illegal to mow someone else's lawn unless you have several million Dollars in liability insurance, a business license, and hire the right people. Back in the 1990's one of my old neighbor's was mad because his neighborhood kid was arrested for mowing...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    thanks Rusty, I really dislike the lounge's search "function". I've looked for threads that I've read before, I know what to search for, and still can't find them. Later

    Movies you wished you had never watched.

    Was "Wanted" the one where they flicked their guns and made the bullets curve? I hate it when producers break the laws of Physics in modern films. In futuristic films it's not quite so bad, after all, we just haven't invented the transporter YET. Later

    My fathers war

    My condolences, I lost my father on August 19, 2011 at the age of 92. Dad was a Weather Forecaster in the 17th Weather Squadron in the Pacific from November 2, 1942 until October 1045. Most of my home town remembers his stories. Later

    Advice for newcomer on custom hatters

    Hi Custom hats are for when you understand what style, brim width, open crown height, and crease look good with respect to your face. Until you've determined what size etc you want, I suggest you go the least expensive route until you decide. There appear to be several hat shops in Milwaukee...

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Hi I bought this Sunbody at Hatman Jack's in Wichita KS last month. It is a 5 3/4 inch open crown with a 4 inch brim. It is loosely modeled on Doc Holliday's hat in Tombstone. I may have to splurge and get one of these in full beaver. Doc Holliday 2012 Side Doc Holliday 2012 Front Doc...

    Scouting anyone?

    Hi, that's for being in Scouts. The kid's experience is definitely based on the leadership. One thing that's great about Boy Scouts, is that you can change packs, troops, and crews until you find one that suits you. I don't know how many Eagle Scouts out Troop has had over the past 30 years...

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    Hi I'm close to 29 years in an aerospace company. There's no way on God's green earth that my son will go into Engineering. He's 26 years old and is working full time at a bank, while getting his Accounting Degree. He remembers us discussing getting laid off his whole life which is why he...

    Sam Craig

    Hi again I was in Hatman Jack's today (Saturday April 7) and was getting eyelets put in a Sun Body and getting a Resistol re-blocked. Jack said that he heard earlier today about his death. He heard he was on his lawn mower and just keeled over (more or less). Beats the heck out of laying...

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    Hi Back to the basic title of the thread "The lost art of dressing for the occasion", I lived in Decatur Alabama and worked in Huntsville Alabama from January 1, 1990 until October 31, 1994. People in Northern Alabama did, at that time, dress for the occasion. When people were in public, they...

    Sam Craig

    Hi Earl I think this is where Sam wanted to be. We tried to join up last Spring at the 4H Spring Match when it was in Great Bend, but we didn't have pictures or phone numbers etc. He and I were also regular shoppers at Hatman Jack's shop in Downtown Wichita. I'll miss him a LOT. I was...

    ISOROKU - The truth about the Pacific War on the 70th anniversary

    Yes and no, we had an embargo on the Japanese since they had invaded China., so we weren't fighting them, but we were keeping them from getting our steel and other raw materials. They were also fighting the Chinese. They wanted all of the Malaysian oil. They were hoping that after they bombed...

    ISOROKU - The truth about the Pacific War on the 70th anniversary

    Hi According to Yamamoto's biographies from the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's, Yamamoto didn't want war with the US. Pearl Harbor was an attempt to get a mental and material edge over the US so that the Japanese could "win" a negotiated peace. Didn't work so well. I remember another quote that...

    Elusive perfect khaki field shirt

    Hi Sam If you look up James Country Mercantile, you'll find that they are a Civil War and Old West shop making their own uniforms for sale. If you find a good local tailor to measure you, they should be able to make what you want. They have a very good reputation, but I haven't actually...

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Gawd, I remember a gold, but not gold lame' shirt no buttons, with a huge collar. It came with gold and red plaid pants and a gold, red, and brown paisley scarf to wear with it. I also owned a sky blue leisure suit. :eeek: 8 Track tapes weren't so bad, but they sure didn't beat cassettes. I...

    9mm or 45cal

    Hi You have to remember that you're comparing both a .45 Long Colt and a .45 ACP both with 200 plus grain bullets (230 in the case of .45 ACP), against a .38 Long Colt, not even a .38 Special. If you look up both the rounds in reloading websites, even the 9x19 is substantially more powerful...
