    Just Stopping By to Say Hi!

    Just stopping by to say hello. I’ve been a member here for a few days over eighteen years, but i guess I'm no longer very active. Anyhow, “hi” and I love what y’all have done to the place!

    Like a Phoenix...Bill’s Old G-1

    This is my my new/old, no-name G-1. About four or five years ago, a friend called and said he had an old “bomber jacket” he’d like to give me. He’d found it hanging in his barn where he’d left it decades ago. When he showed up with it a few days later, it was almost unrecognizable as being a...

    New Product: ATF N-1

    At The Front has just introduced this jacket. It's their version of the USN N-1...and through tomorrow, it's their "Deal of the Day". Loving deck jackets as I do, I couldn't resist. I immediately pulled the trigger. The lining is synthetic, but the shell is jungle cloth...and I have no doubt...

    Wilson Leathers Open Road

    I've always liked classic motorcycle jackets and have been wanting to buy an entry level something to see if I could pull off that style. Decided on a used Wilson Leathers Open Road. Now before y'all start guffawing, please hear me out. Those of you who frequent the outerwear threads know...

    The Challenger. Twenty Nine Years Ago Today.

    Twenty-nine years ago today the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded seventy-three seconds after being launched from Cape Canaveral. The Challenger's pilot was Michael Smith, and he was born and raised in my home town. Michael’s family lived near the Beaufort Airport. They still do. In the...

    Tobacco Field

    Just thought I'd share something that will likely soon be a thing of the past. I'm not sure how many fellow loungers have ever seen a mature tobacco plant, but this is one. The size of the plant often surprises folks who have never seen one. Jackie and I went for a ride this evening and we...

    Hurricane Bugles

    I think this may be an Easter Lilly, but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, these flowers grow wild along the ditch banks in my county. I don't think they are indigenous to North Carolina. I've never seen them growing wild anywhere else in our state. I suspect that some local person, maybe...

    Real Panama OR. Now That's What I'm Talkin' About!

    I have been looking for a vintage Panama OR...in my size...for years. I was looking for vintage because I assumed that Stetson no longer made Panama ORs. I thought they only made Shantung ORs. Well, my assumptions were wrong. Here is my new real Panama, USA made, Stetson Open Road. Direct...

    Photobucket No Longer Works for Me. Anyone Else?

    Mods...I'm not sure where in the forum to place this post. Please move as necessary. Has anyone here been shut out of photobucket other than me? After seven years of having a photobucket account, suddenly last week, I found that I could no longer log into my account. I wrote the...

    The Other A-2

    I have always loved deck jackets...especially the WWII N-1 and the Vietnam-era A-2. No...you'll never see a hollywood hero wearing a deck jacket while he's saving the world from disaster and winning the hearts of beautiful women. But deck jackets are warm and comfortable in cold, windy, damp...

    Hemingway and Gellhorn on HBO...Anyone Here Watch It?

    I had been looking forward to it for quite a while now. And it wasn't terrible. Well...OK...maybe I had just raised my expectations a bit to high. But it employed some great use of vintage newsreel footage. And, generally, the acting was excellent. And I thought the costumes were very...

    Golden Era Teenage Moms

    I often read (perhaps) wistful posts on the Lounge about how life in the Golden Era was better than it is in modern times, or conversely stated, how society has declined since the Golden Era. The posts frequently support their hypothesis with examples such as an increasing crime rate (it...

    Serious Dumb Crook News Candidates

    I'm think its a good practice for prosecutors to say very little about pending cases, but this is too funny not to share. Here's newspaper accounts of my most recent armed robbery case. Yes, you read the second article correctly. One of the three suspects was on GPS pretrial monitoring when...

    Knife Question

    I want an Italian Stiletto automatic knife...yes, a switchblade. Probably 11 inches. I don't care that it might be illegal in some places...it isn't a problem. But I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money...maybe around a hundred bucks. Who's got some advice? AF

    Opinions Please, Old Salt Glazed Beer(?) Bottle

    I bought this on ebay. I'm not sure why. I generally only collect North Carolina pottery. Does anyone here have an opinion as to what this is? AF

    1970's Flying Club Photos

    Jackie and I are in the slow process of transforming my parents' home into a place for us to one day retire. Everytime we go there, we discover something that jerks me out of today, and makes me a kid again...at least for a short while. Friday, we were cleaning out a cabinet, and she found a...

    WTB Resistol San Antonio For A Big Head

    I've got a Wide Country and a Waco...both of which are similar to the San Antonio. But I would love to have a real S/A. And I'm not too choosey about color. Oh...but did I mention that I need a size 7 3/4 or a large 7 5/8? AF

    Went Fishin'...too

    I didn't want to horn in on Paddys thread 'cause fly fishing in Scotland is a bit more refined and genteel than the kind of fishing seen here...but, like Paddy, I recently went fishing, too. Two friends and I went Friday evening, after work...our target species, red drum. These large...

    Models...For Eastern US Tropical Weather Geeks Only

    The season is upon us so I thought I'd share one of my favorite weather sites with y'all. It links to several of the better global weather models...particularly the GFS and GFDL. When the site comes up, click "submit" on one of the models. Again, a very good one is the GFS. Then click on the...
