big business
:( Well, the thing is a bit misleading since the bombers are Heinkel He 111s and except for the prototypes and couple early low production models the vast majority produced did not use Daimler-Benz engines. They used Junkers Jumo V-12s. The Messerschmitt 109 would have been a much better plane... -
do you believe in EVP? spirits / ghost recordings?
The planet is teeming with strangeness past and present. Those who have experienced a strangeness personally will be more likely to believe or consider another person's different experience. Those that wish to consider possibilities out of the normal flow of experience will do so and those who...- Twitch

just wondering and typing...
Interesting slant on the subject but I set a personal limit on any item, hats included, and never surpass it. I see Ebay as an ocean and the waves sometimes come in big and sometimes small. I've seen things go for high prices with stupid bidding and I've seen cars and other items owners'...- Twitch

Do you dream of hats?
I've never had a hat dream but the one described reminded me of when I was a kid in the late 50s/early 60s. In the Goodwill stores in St. Louis there were huge bins full of scores of fedoras haphazardly thown in there. What a bonanza that would be today.:eusa_doh: -
is this an "antique" wrench?
I have a small size of that which I can't find right now but it's about 7" long. I came from the tools of a family friend who was an electrician that worked in the 40s-50s in the trade. I am pretty certain it is not super old turn of the century since a tradesman wouldn't have used it. All...- Twitch

The family wagon
Pick up the latest Hemmings Classic Car magazine and they'll show you a wealth of American station wagons from all eras. One great one would be the Olds Vista Cruiser. Forget the tri- 5 Chevies overinflated prices. Also note that Ford always dominated the stationwagon market amking for lots...- Twitch

Revisited Films
Just recently had my daughter get me Gone In 60 Seconds the 1974 original from Netflix. Wanted to see if it was as dynamic as I remembered it. I was completely disappointed with the 2000 Nicolas Cage version. The chase lasted about 8-10 minutes whereas in the original it was 40 minutes. No...- Twitch

do you believe in EVP? spirits / ghost recordings?
This topic gained some noteriety with the utterly poor Micjael Keaton movie White Noise. Possible I guess, stranger things have happened.[huh]- Twitch

Should the Government Bring You High-Speed Internet?
Of course if the government wants to subsidize electric power which has tripled in our area after the wonderfulness of deregulation, that's fine.:)- Twitch

Vintage Cruising
Today us old car people have cruise-ins where we congragate for the opportunity of letting anyone walk by and look at the variety of automobilia. All we did in St. Louis was "cruise" the Steak & Shake restaurants which had curb service back in the 60s. One guy made some sort of record in...- Twitch

Aaannd another panama!
Henry absolutely no one you encounter will be able to tell the difference between your hat and a $250 one. The likelyhood of that is near zero. Just for the record I wouldn't pay anything like that for a hat. There's too many bargains on Ebay. Also that's about 77 gallons of gas these days @... -

Good news for an old '35 Plymouth.
I'm taking my Packard to a local cruise-in tomorrow afternoon. Cruise-in is simply a gathering of vintage autos. It's behind the Fuddruckers restaurant in Lakewood attached to the Lakewood Mall. There will probably be 100 cars of all eras and types. It's a real time machine for me when I...- Twitch

Windows, Mac, or Linux?
I don't know about "prefer" but I have XP on my machine. I've been messing with PCs since when DOS 1.0 was around and can say my installation of XP home edition is the most bullet proof Windows version I've had yet. Only like 5-6 freeze ups in 4 1/2 years.[huh]- Twitch

Good, cool sun hat -- what do you recommend?
You should be able to find a WIDE brimmed straw gardening hat for well under $10. I've seen them in the local thrift store for $2. -
Aaannd another panama!
Oh yeah. Looks to be in good conditions and worth the amount. I got my 1st Panama this year followed by a couple others to rotate. Going to classic car events in Southern Cal I have noticed many men wearing Panamas in the summer where they don't wear felt fedoras in other seasons though.[huh] -
black or brown sweat band
All my bands are brown too. So even if I wondered if 1 or 2 could be 60s maybe they're older.[huh] -
Er, What Kind of Stetson Did I Just Buy?
Great bargains vintage or not. That's the way I buy mine. Patience wins out on Ebay. No sense getting in a bid frenzy and spending $100 for something that you'll find for $15 next week with no other bids!
