60+ year old thread.

and how much space is left in the cabinet

 

True there is a space issue.

I do not have that problem. My wife is good at getting rid of stuff that is no longer used. Me on the other hand not so much.

Well I am off to bed.

Goodnight all.

 

None, since my brother sold his '87.

I'm a retired archaeologist, and wore out the trucks in the field every few years. It's a different kind of off-roading - based on a destination and bringing artifacts and other materials back out.

Wow what an interesting career.

Right now my career is a painter. I need to finish painting the ceiling and walls in the bedroom today. LOL

 

We have that exact same dish! And a ton of other pieces, dishes, bowls, etc. We drove our 4Runner from Germany into Poland back in 1994 and filled the back of it with Polish pottery. We spent something like 2,000,000 zlotys....which was about $140.

 

Wow, Steve! That does sound like an interesting career!!

 

I was thinking the job is scientific, nerdy, and you get to play in the dirt. What is there not to like.

I bet the hours are long and the work is hard at times. Just like almost all to other jobs out there.

 

their is a spair ket and fob to my truck on the key hook.

yep i always know my keys are! and that sounds just like my mom. and she never has her cell on ringer all ways vibrate or silence. so most the time you call it and can’t even hear it.

maybe if i got a tray or something that would work better. but i suspect they will still have a hard time keeping up with 3 sets of keys to the scion and 2 for the tundra. lol

i found out wear the keys wear BTW the scion(well one set idk wear the other 2 sets are) was locked in the tundra and dad had the tundra key. lol he was in he work truck. (that they give him) idk why he had the tundra key.. oh well.

 

Seems most things worth having these days are that way.

Both points are very true!

Too cool! I'll bet you have some great stories?!

Road trips in Europe...fond memories "6" ... Thanks for bringing that one back to mind!

God Bless you and yours...Have a great day folks!

 

morning all: missed my calling on that career. have been looking for indian relics since I was a child. funny, that now they're worth some money, how many people are looking for them. to me It's a hobby. posted a pic. with some, a few pages back. post # 2390. just grabbed some to show.

 

When I was a little kid we would walk behind the plow looking for arrow heads, Never found any thing cool till about 10 years ago. Found a clear one in a dry lakebed about the size of the one on the ace of spades. Did take it to UCF to check it out. What a shock that was. The prof. told me it was a real good one and it belonged to someone high in the tribe. I asked what it was used for he said only one thing, Manhunter and it is worth from 300 to 500 $ and did I want to sell it. I said no this is a keeper Im sure Ill never find one like in my lifetime.. Jim

 

Thanks for sharing Jim. Stories like this are exactly why I track this thread...plenty of the "Good Stuff."

How's Chet and his family? -- Rob

Oh, and morning all and happy Friday. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

 

Thanks Rob, Pic of the arrowhead when I can. Chet Is staying in the hospital for 39 to 45 days.
