  1. “Normal” boards? 😂
  2. My brother had 600 silver dollars he had accumulated over 20 years in a footlocker stored above his garage along with lots of other old junk. One of his sons and a neighbor kid liked to play up there and snoop in that stuff. Then one day brother decided to haul the coins down and put them in his new gun safe. Of course they were missing. (the garage door was left open quite a bit in those days 50 years ago, so anybody could sneak in) Then the neighborhood kids’ rumor mill indicated that his son’s “friend” had been spending silver dollars for candy at the nearby 7/11. Brother went over there to question the owner & his clerks, but of course they denied all knowledge of any such transactions.
  3. A bit of nostalgia - these are the type of school desks we used at St. Bernadette’s Parochial in St. Louis during the mid 1950s. We didn’t have to utilize the inkwell holes, as we were transitioning from using fountain pens to ball point pens. The desk top lifted up to access the bookshelf underneath. Each row in the classroom was made up of desks attached to runners like these in the photo.
  4. 1946 was a very good year for us….Dad was home from the War.
  5. The currency of the future…..
  6. In my post on page one I forgot to add these photos my dad took on Attu after that fight was over
  7. ^^^^ There’s more pipe in that dream than in Steel Shank’s.
  8. Gotdammit! Clicked on a “back in stock” email for this Colt SAA a little while ago and went through the checkout process as quickly as my old fat fingers would work, but by the time I hit submit order it was “out of stock”. http://grabagun.com/colt-saa-45lc-5-5-ccb.html They get one in stock maybe twice a year at most, but I must be pretty far down the wait list.
  9. Too bad Otis has never thought of adding an override button to their panels.
  10. Mom, me, brother….hangin’ out on the Victoria Peak overlook 1958:
  11. Or else Rozen is a Motel 6 maid with google on her favorites.

    Getting old sucks

    Last tractor I was on was a 1940s Farmall in the mid-1950s. Luckily I didn’t fall off.

    Damn blood thinners and getting old….
  14. Siri is going to digitally piss on my grave.
  15. When I bought my first iPhone years ago, I was kinda startled when this female voice popped up and said, “Hi, my name is Siri. How may I help you?”. I replied, “Siri, shut the fuck up”. Haven’t heard a peep out of her since.
  16. Good lord! I may actually have to go downtown for this one….. http://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/there-is-a-new-lubys-in-downtown-austin/amp/
  17. That was a Motel 6 years ago.
  18. I certainly do…. (but always take home the rice to have with my salmon filet on Fridays)
  19. Scrape out the filling - separate the protein from the salad & refrigerate all. Next day warm up the protein, crisp up the flattened out limp taco shell in the air fryer, then refill it with the meat & salad. Better than a soggy mess.
  20. Massive fire at El Segundo, California Chevron refinery. Russian sabotage?
  21. That mouthflapping clown was probably not taught about the 17,500,000 tons of military supplies that the USA shipped to the Soviet Union during WW2. Most of it was written off by the USA.
