    modern things you haven't experienced

    PS... Actually, I had had a cell phone about a decade ago, but ended up dropping it (not physically, just dropping service). Coverage out at the farm was bad, had to stand outside and hold your head just right to be able to hear... But two years ago, I started travelling a lot more on...

    modern things you haven't experienced

    Whoa, it's been over a decade since I'd even *thought* of that movie.... Do miss River, though, always thought it would be him that went further than Keanu.... I mean, comapre Stand By Me with Bill and Ted's... or rather, don't.... :D Not a big fan of his brother, but he's okay...

    What's your favorite martini?

    Actually.... Kina was dropped from the name long before Bond was written... Fleming, in having Bond specify Kina, was anachronistic. (Kina was used up into the 20's, but was dropped by the 50's.) However, he is correct that the amount of quinine in Lillet has been reduced since 1986 when...

    Do I know anyone still?

    lol I've been on some other boards for a decade, through multiple versions, server changes, alternate board formats, ownership migrations... some boards survive, some don't... Hadn't been here, didn't know if I'd know anyone still or not. Just lookin' for that familiar face in the...

    What's your favorite martini?

    How timely.... The whole reason why this site came back to mind this evening, was the Martini... I've several friends here in town who we all met due to our love of old Series Land Rovers. We also have a penchant for other things off-beat from the typical variant local resident that you...

    Flash your Zippo lighter here

    Oh, I'd fogot to update.... I have a 1941 now. I've painted it twice, and still haven't been happy with my job yet. So, round three is looming. I thought about it, trying to figure out an easier way than epoxy, so, I thought, why not use something like Krylon, since it's designed to...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Hmmmmm.............. I wonder where my all-weather coat is? (In the Marines, we weren't allowed to call 'em "trench coats", we HAD to call it an "all-weather coat"). It wouldn't fit me anymore, though.... I was 150lbs at the time, not 195 the way I am now..... I must have...

    TRACER BULLET...Private Eye

    Once upon a time a decade or so ago....... I had been reading the paper, and had really taken to this new strip (C&H) in the funny-section at the time. After it had been in the paper for a couple of weeks, I mentioned it to dad, to see if he had noticed it. He got a funny look on his face...

    Another Look: Wool cap & cardigan

    I've actually had a couple of similar caps over the years. I had a khaki houndstooth one, but I lost it in college. It was replaced with a grey herringbone one, that I still have. I switched to wearing Tilleys shortly thereafter, though, so it hasn't seen much use. I ought to break...

    A sad note

    You know, I hadn't thought about it, but I have no idea where in this area I could even find such a movie.... I suppose some people would "blame" it on being in a small backwater town in the Bible-Belt, but for me, I see it as a definite plus to being in a close-knit community...

    potential archaeology brush

    Over on COW, there was an older thread about trying to make/locate a brush like the one used in the WOS, to have as MkVII gear. http://www.villagehatshop.com/hat_brush_for_hats.html What if you just took the handle off? -Leslie

    Vintage Shaving

    The way mine worked, you would screw the knob on the bottom to open the doors all the way, and could drop the new blade into place. Then, if you screwed it back down all the way, it'd put enough pressure on the blade to warp it up so that the edges of the blade were bowed up and hidden behind...

    Vintage Shaving

    How well-timed! I was at Wally-World the other day looking for the disposable replacement razor-heads for my whatever-it-is little-bitty multi-bladed razor-thing, and I noticed the pack of safety razors on the shelf above.... My dad gave me a safety-razor two decades ago, and it...

    Flash your Zippo lighter here

    Last night I popped by the local tobacconist. He's ordered a few of them, and has my name on one.... they should be in by the week's end, so, I should have one in-hand soon. -Leslie
