  1. 300K for 2-3 hours of water time? Not sure that is a winning combo
  2. That is an outstanding first vehicle. teaches you patience and how to work on a car.
  3. Not a big fan of green but that color rocks!
  4. I remember in the late 80's you could pick and choose the manufacturer of them. Spent 30 years with IBM and wanted the IBM stamped version back then - just to carry it into the building and such
  5. Dad bought several WW1 Enfield bolt actions - new in cosmoline for 5 bucks each when he was in the Army in 50's. Never fired em for some reason and sold one for about 600 bucks around 2000.
  6. I miss Auburn/Ga Tech. Very underrated rivalry. They always seem to come over and win as underdogs. In the late 70's they put a bounty on the mascot - who got mugged when he came on the field.
  7. Pfizer number two last Saturday. Was expecting side effects and had zero. had zero on first shot also. Very lucky and happy
  8. It is just amazing how many difference there were in design styles back then. You instantly knew a Mopar from a Ford etc. Not talking muscle cars but general purpose sedans. No one confused a Galaxie 500 with an New Yorker etc. Today most middle of the line sedans look the same (accord, malibu etc). Maybe because of the crash standards but there isn't a lot of diffrence
  9. I would think that, if true, it would also happen to jet fighter pilots or folks riding some of the free fall amusement park stuff.
  10. Found em! No idea how they got packed in a box with Christmas wreath but I was in the attic and decided to really look. My Rocket fins and Dad's Jet fins = both plus/minus 50 years. I think these are indestructible if you store them indoors
  11. Phizer a week ago. No side effects. Actually wondered if I got saline until the next days I had a very slight pain with the arm above head. Went back and forth since I had an option for the single J and J shot but I liked the 96% vs 67% even though it;s apples to oranges
  12. Also just discovered that one item got lost moving back to Huntsville. I had my Dad's old Scubapro Jet Fins and can't find them anywhere. He got them when he started diving in late 60's. At that time NASA had neutral buoyancy tank in Huntsville and they asked him and others to help out. They qualified them for free and they got to be scuba diving "lifeguard" for the astronauts a couple of days per month. Those fins saw a lot of hard work there and in regular scuba around the south. No clue how they got lost - my wetsuit and BC are fins were all on hangers in same closet and only two of the three are in the new closet now.
  13. As far as I know yes - haven't looked at tanks in a few years but I know the tank valve was the same for decades
  14. anyone ever dove with one of these. dad got it for 5 bucks at garage sale in 70's. I dove with it at least once in a north Alabama quarry where I could get to surface if anything failed. Recently got a quote for about 250 to restore it. From the serial number it is late 1940's.
  15. Don't get the plastic assemble yoursef ones. Texas heat warps them in no time
  16. In the late 70's some stores actually cut the potatoes into frys at the store - those rocked. They even had a commercial telling you to get an extra order to enjoy on the drive home from the takeout window.
  17. Paint jobs are expensive... Gonna run in 5 figures for this. Not surprising - that paint job was done in our garage in 1980. There are at least 20 panels to remove. Luckily the fender are bolt on. A lot of body work that you can't see -rockers, rear doglegs etc have to be replaced. Plus doors, trunk and hood are aluminum which is different process. Everything has to be stripped first. And that is not my 911 in background. Picture was when we were loading it in the truck to ship to the people doing the work. 911 shared the truck
  18. I took mine up 35 to Rolex Service Center in Dallas
  19. Technically the wind did not need to be that high but they wanted the owner to be able to open the trunk.
  20. As a lefty it's odd to comment on swings but. Looks like the follow tru is all over the place. I like the old school view of the front foot where it tends to start to point at the target after the swing. Yours never moves. I also like the follow thru to wrap around the back (think Ernie Els).
  21. What year? Looking for wood grain radio bezel but only 2000-2002 will work
  22. That is a great summing up of the beginning
  23. The bloody nose reminded me of this. Around 2:00 - you like pain. You eat it like candy
  24. Hate to say that it will probably be close to that number. I had to do just the front bumper on my 2001 4Runner. Same as yours - chrome version. About 1500 for parts and labor. I looked everywhere for a used bumper and the chrome ones don't exist except in junkyards after a collision. Mine only had a 5mph dent from a teenage drier. Yours has a lot more frame damage and hood and fenders. Glad everyone is OK.
