    When I was 22, I hated my Olds Cutlass. So I traded it in for a 1972 Firebird Trans Am. It cost all of $4400 brand new. 454ci V8 with a 4 speed Hurst Close Ratio shifter. Man, could that car go. But, I was 22, young and foolish. In February 1973, we had the first gas "shortage." I was...

    This afternoon, I did a transmission repair on my car and to see how it worked out, took a ride to Fire Island. Got on RM southbound at Montauk Hwy and went over all 3 bridges to the water tower and then back. I haven't driven there in quite some time and couldn't believe the condition of...

    What would you use the cut off wheel on? The railing or his neck? Darwin at work, you know.

    I need your opinions

    Thanks guys for the good advice. It definitely sounds like a plan. I am thinking trailering. For close to 50 years I had boats, always docked. But after I retired 26 years ago, the problem became money. So smaller hull, smaller outboard, no dockage fees, etc. seems the way to go.

    I need your opinions

    I've been looking high and low for an outboard runabout, 16 or 17 footer indecent condition. Today I found a 1978 Starcraft aluminum boat, motor and trailer which looks good. From the pics, it looks like this boat has spent it's life on a lake. So what opinions or experiences do any of you...

    Sad but true

    Agree 100%. Without truck drivers, there would be nothing in the stores to buy, like food

    Sad but true

    When I have a leaky pipe, I want a plumber, not a PhD. We desperately need tradesmen and there's nothing wrong with working with your hands.

    I had English Muffin pizza for lunch. Dinner tonight, I think chicken parm with linguini in a marinara sauce sounds good. Of course, lots of cheese, mozz and parm.

    I've been posting here and elsewhere for a couple of years now. The problem was never about Zach, or Sam or anyone else. The same thing would have happened with Aaron. The problem has always been the O-Line. Let's go back to the O-Line when Broadway Joe was the QB. That line was a brick...

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    You're not alone. We also pay in full each month and carry no balance. The CC companies must hate us not paying interest.

    Vegetable garden

    Anyone remember Crockett's Victory Garden on PBS. One episode he discussed carrots and parsnips so I tried his idea. You take a fairly long piece of rebar and stick in the ground. Revolve it in the ground until you have a deep cone shaped hole. Fill it with peat moss and nothing else. Plant...

    Went out on the Celtic Quest today, so needless to say, tonight's dinner features very fresh porgy filets breaded and fried with a macaroni salad and fresh tomatoes.
