60+ year old thread.

I do still have it. Speaking of which, I need to grease it again

 

Maybe I had a defective one.

 

Hi Tom, heard a few others had problems with,their locks. I just found it easier to use the hose clamp mod because with,a soft tonneau the pop,n,lock wouldn't work for me. Have a safe and enjoyable vacation. Going to the Grand Ole Opry?

Hi Ms Sue and all you other fine Gents.

 

your truck live outside all the time? Maybe you used yours more than I used mine.

hope you are having a grand time!!

 

Evening all:
After seeing how easy it was to remove the tailgate, and reading about how they were being stolen, I also did the hose clamp mod., so far so good.
Hmmm, forgot I even did that until mentioned here!
Evening Sue!

Wow. Here's a guy who stopped a school shooting because he was armed. He says teachers should not be armed, but someone else should be, like a security guard. I could get behind that.

Morning all:
Just like when we were kids and playing war Ken, yelling bang bang bang, and ahh ahh ahh, for a machine gun, and yup sometime we used a stick! ---- REDICULOUS! Wonder if banning the 21 gun salute at a veterans funeral is next!

 

Yes we will be going on the Friday night.. My preferences would be the late show and see who shows up to be in the show. I have seen Martina McBride and Marty Stewart at the Opry. Both were phenomenal in person.

I hope not Carl. Part of what's wrong with America politics today is not enough veterans are running for office. The namby pamby's we have today are a little to eager to send our sons and daughters off to war.

 

You mean like Chelsea Manning who filed to run for a Senate seat in Maryland!
Guess that's what pardons get you, you get to go from prison for leaking classified information to running for a senate seat, something is just not right about that!

 

Thanks Sue. Weather is nice compared to back home. Missus got sick and was out of it with 2 trips to the hospital here. She is finally better. All is good.

The Donald was on WWW and "knocked out" one of the stars. Maybe we should send him to North Korea to fight it out with "rocket man" then to Iran to kick some Khoemimies ass Then to,Syria to take care of Assad. I am just Dreamingpoliticians dont get their hands dirty. Sorry bout the rant.

 

Some snow here o/n, couple inches. Low temp a few days ago was 9, 13 yesterday, creek has started freezing from the edges in.
Stovie news, had a British stovie bid on a stove from 1915 for me that the British eBay seller would not ship to the USA, won it. Will be a few weeks before I have it in hand.

That was nice of him.

 

When I get it, will have four years in a row of stoves 100+ years old. 1913-1916. Letters C thru F. Some are close, a I and a K.

..Really it is kind of cool!

 

Last second snipers tripled the price. Auction ended, pause. @#$&
Duane

 

I never understood bid sniping. I put in the max I'm willing to pay and come back later to see if I won it.

 

I play with others sometimes, finally putting in a killer bid if I really want something. Funny and irritating to see some bid 10 to 20 times in a row, $2 or $5 at a time.

Students in a HS in Sacramento were protesting their school for not doing enough about gun violence were arrested for damaging vehicles which included police vehicles, plus throwing rocks. Good one kids, more trouble makers in your midst and you did nothing. Three kids were arrested.
