    Shoe shine:Do your own or take out??

    I almost always do my own. I either do it working in the workshop, or I'll bring the stuff in the living room and work on them while watching tv. I enjoy shining my shoes. I find it oddly relaxing and appreciate the accomplishment of a shiny pair of shoes. However, when I am at the...

    Rafter thank you for pointing out that 8 tracks were definitely not an 80's thing. Yes it was the cassette, I had hundreds. The good thing about them was recoding off the radio favorite songs. The bad thing was definitely the rewinding, oh and the player eating the tape.

    New Akubra "R.M."

    Very nice. I like the rebash, but I must say I also really like the original shape, yes it is very campaign and OR reminiscent.

    who makes the best "closets"

    And for I think it's $20 you can send them your closet measurements and layout and they will send you 2 or 3 different possible designs with plans and all in seems like 48 hrs. I used it once and it worked great.

    Oops I meant to quote some one else. Quoted you by accident. :o I meant to quote happy film guy on page 3. On another board I am on, we use the upper quote button to add a quote to our post. Heres it is the lower, that always confuses me. Granted I could actually read my post to insure I...

    No these were different than laserdiscs. They had a hard shell sleeve that you slid into the machine, it was a laser of sorts. Then the machine extracted the disc inside the sleeve and spit the cover back out. The disc itself looked a lot like a record. I cant remember what they called them...

    I could kind of see a 60's or 70's bb, but a 80's or 90's? I dunno. To me it's too close to really see as old. I mean I still wear some clothes and especially boots I've had since then. Other than computers and cell phones, I don't feel as though I live much different than I did then.

    Yes, scooters are fun. I sold all of my motorcycles, but I kept my Cushman scooter, with only 2 mirrors mind you, and have it in my father's garage. He puts it on the back of his his 32 ft camper trailer when traveling.

    And scooters right? Scooters with 10 or 12 rear view mirrors. What was the name of that movie about mods, in fact it was a Who movie I think? And they had antagonists, they were rockers or greasers, something like that. Memory fades.

    When you say 'mod', you are speaking of the youth English style of the early 60's? Like the Who's original look?

    Dress shirts are dead.

    My statement wasn't really in direct response to your rules quote. It was more a statement of dress philosophy. Please understand I like to question, if for no other reason than to better understand if I am on solid footing. And yes I agree about rebels, which instead f using the word rebel...

    Dress shirts are dead.

    Yes I would agree. Thank you for expanding on what my thoughts are on the subject. I didn't take the time to write it, but that is my thinking as well. it was well put.

    Yeah, you are right there. Ford initially didn't see the real potential of the pony car as a muscle car. Their first foray was the 65 gt 289 k engine. But all the way up until 68 they offered some of their coupes in 6 cyl and less hp 8's. In fact the original 289 in my 67 was detuned, it died...

    Dress shirts are dead.

    Hmm, I do not know if that would work, but possibly.

    Dress shirts are dead.

    So, are you suggesting that simply because you perceive something to be a rule, you will break it even if it looks bad, poor, wrong, simply to say you broke a rule? I'm not sure there are that many real hard rules when it comes to dressing anyway. It's not like you will go to jail for fashion...
