    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    And they've usually sat out UNREFRIGERATED long enough that they separate into oil and whatever solid is there.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    When I was a kid in the '60's, if you ordered ANYTHING other than a hamburger, they would bring a basket of crackers and a basket of those pats of butter. I try to tell people about that today, and they don't believe me!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Years ago, when I was in the Marine Corps and fresh out of boot camp, all our pay checks "disappeared" until we filled out a donation for for United Way. They don't get ANYTHING from me any more, once was the cure.

    That's what I'm thinking -- she looks like she's had no more than maybe 50 rounds through her! And loud ain't the problem, she kicks like a mule!

    Show us your Guns!

    The one word that comes to mind when I fire this rifle is WHAM! Followed closely by BOOM! It's quite the hit. As I said earlier, I'm still trying to get along with it. Considering a muzzle brake, but not sure yet. BTW -- 160-grain Sierra Game Kings at around 3100 FPS... Thank you for the...

    Show us your Guns!

    I bought a new (to me) rifle last spring -- I'm still coming to terms with this one. Learning what reloads she likes, and even trying to decide if I can shoot this big S.O.B. or not. Been shooting .270 forever, but this is another thing entirely.

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    Just once? Skydiving is like Lay's potato chips -- nobody can eat just one!

    Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select

    Cigar Dave has been bragging about this Bourbon. I'd really like to have a bottle, but the cost is prohibitive.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Attitude helps, too. If you try to wear a Western hat -- ANY hat, really -- and you act a little timid, it won't look right. Whatever you wear, step right out there and be confidant and you can even make a beret look right. Well, I GUESS you can make a beret look right...

    Maternal Dissaproval

    At 19, you may be a little young to do so, but at some point you will probably have to tell her that you think she's being too critical and you want her to stop. Try to be nice but firm about it.

    That means don't fall on ANYTHING -- because everything down there will stick, sting, or bite ya'!

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    I've been very fortunate in regards to vintage planes. Some years ago, a For Tri-Motor was travellng the country selling rides around town to people. Being a pilot, I bought the CO-PILOT'S SEAT! Logged .3 in a Ford Tri-Motor! Back around 1979 or so, we were privileged to skydive from a...

    Nice looking hat, but the silver belly sure gets dirty easily, and I wish I knew how to avoid that.

    I'm thinking that he might consider the razor to be a "weapon", so perhaps he considers himself to be "under arms"...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    You can fry grits, too, as I remember from when I was a little boy. I don't think I've seen anybody fry grits since around 1963 or so, but -- Let the grits sit in the pot in the refrigerator overnight, then scoop them out and shape them into patties to fry. As I recall, they were pretty...

    Yeah, I saw that too and didn't know what to think! Guess it turned out OK, though.
