    The death of the American luxury sedan

    dave - that's my son Gus in the avatar. When the photo was taken, he was about 8" long. Now he's 35 pounds..... Agreed on the other need for size, given that a lot of people are big in one way or another. I have a Ford Thunderbird, one of the newer retro ones. I have no idea how anyone over...

    The death of the American luxury sedan

    Well, perhaps the big vehicles should go away since they are a symbol of "conspicuous consumption." And, I'd be really happy to throw away our Ford Excursion and get a little tiny vehicle. I'd have to throw away the Excursion because it has no value since it gets 11 miles per gallon. Oh, but...

    Men/Would you wear these pants?

    I wouldn't even want that material around to wipe oil off the bottom of my diesel engine. That would scare my dogs. :eek: Now I have that horrifying sight burned into my brain.........

    removing mold smell from leather?

    Peacoat - thank you. I should have looked a bit further. That thread gives me some options to try. Of course, I can always wrap my coat around a wet dog......

    removing mold smell from leather?

    I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, I did some searching but could not locate anything. Last weekend while cleaning off my old motorcycle's saddlebags and digging around in my shop, I found my first motorcycle jacket - from 1974, a Schott Perfecto in cowhide. It had furry mold growing...

    Tree Houses/Forts?

    We had a fort. It even had a tower with a ladder, so we could climb up really high (to us, it was probably only eight feet tall or so) and command the troops or survey our lands or whatever we dreamed up. It was pretty well built, at least I thought. One day, a neighbor came over and started...

    ALL SOLD NOS Banana Republic Traveler's Sportcoat & 'luxe' unstructured jacket 43R

    Would someone please purchase the BR jacket? Please? If one of you buys it, you will be doing me a great service as I will no longer have to decide whether to buy it myself. Thank you in advance.

    Kodachrome

    Doctor Strange, I sure agree on the construction of digital cameras. My wife seems to get a new one every couple of years because something breaks or falls off. Meanwhile, I don't even know how old my Nikon F3 is, but I do know that it has always worked. I have shot rolls and rolls of...

    Does anyone use a name that's not their own?

    I get called a lot of "names" but I haven't chosen to use any of them yet.

    Nutty Neighbors

    On the subject of barking dogs -- there's no excuse for that. Twenty plus years of raising dogs and nine at home now and there is only barking if there is a reason (like a vehicle pulling into the driveway). That is a training issue. We don't hear from our neighbors, but they are not really...

    That one thing that you need to feel like yourself

    Easy to explain, actually. My gun can't tell if I stink, and I am so ugly looking that other people don't come around me anyway. Kidding aside, you make a good (and funny) point. I absolutely wouldn't leave the house without a shower - yet it's so automatic that I didn't even think of it.

    That one thing that you need to feel like yourself

    Cowboy boots and a pistol.

    Bay Rum year round?

    At least I know that if I have a stubborn can of worms, Bay Rum will open it. I use Ogallala Bay Rum year round. I guess my only complaint (non-seasonal) is that my wife says she doesn't notice it at all. No, she doesn't smoke and will generally smell things that I am oblivious to. Given...

    Sinatra's, McQueen's, Roosevelt's, Sammy Davis Jr.'s Watches for auction

    Agreed, #4 would be stunning. Since it's spoken for, I'll take #5.

    Before Evilbay& the computer

    I cultivated relationships with local (or as local as I could find) shop owners, whether antique or firearm. I'd ask them to watch for particular items, and I would do the same through newspaper classified for sale ads and writing letters --- remember that?? --- to people who might be a source...

    FQHH brown or cordovan for my next Aero??

    JanSolo hit it exactly - the cordovan is almost purple. When I went shopping for an Aero, brown was the choice by far, and I would have ended up with brown except my wife just didn't like the color - she thought it looked like it was "waxed" (her word). Well, since the coats are a lot of $$$...

    Briefcases

    The one I'm using now was called a messenger bag, something like a 'Herbert Johnson Traveller' but smaller, I got it from Levenger's ebay store. All medium tan kind of "pebbly" leather - I hope that makes sense, perhaps I should say "grainy" - with brass fittings and a tan cloth lining. It is...
