60+ year old thread.

back again! gotta get off this contraption. punched in-impala clock, just to see what's listed on E-bay, almost fell out of the chair. universal clock available for only $1,199 . glad I have 3 of them; the orig., a replacement when orig. stopped working, and a brand new one. this stuff is getting way out of hand. even worse: when I kick the bucket, someone will probablly buy them at the auction for $2. think the most I paid for one was $20!
didn't buy a new one at carlisle that was $85. thought it was too much, but that was years ago. OHHHHH!!!!!

 

Glad you got it for a good price Carl...I hated when you pulled out the idle adj. screw and it had a step on it from overcranking it into the metering block...if you need any carb parts etc. a buddy of mine has the name of a guy in Doylestown that he's been using for years...highly recommends him...years ago I remember they had a fix for the metering block holes that were damaged by an a...hole over tightening the screw...it involved drilling out the hole and using a slightly larger taper on the screw...I'll see if i can google it......Ken

 

Great video clip Tom...reminds me of when I was a kid and we always watched Victory At Sea shows (my Pop was in the Navy) and they were firing anti aircraft at night...pretty neat stuff...Ken

 

Evening all....

 

that's good to know, thanks for info on that.

 

Good morning Jim.

I built the two doors for the recycle shed yesterday. Need to paint them this morning. After that I have about 4 errands to run then paint the shed if the shed is dry. We had close to an inch of rain yesterday.



I did not put the traditional X in the lower half of the door. I thought it might look too odd.

 

morning all: just relaxing, somewhat!

 

Do you know whats under your tree stand right now???

 

I try not to think of that . BUT-then all I have to do is think of my one buddy that spent 110 hrs. in a tree stand this yr. and didn't get a buck. 10 days, 11 hrs. a day; hard to believe this could happen. maby the 2 days he missed ?????

 

Morning All...You can always use the Philly sports teams motto Carl "Theres Always Next Year"...I often wondered if come hunting season they all go to Disney World for the season...see 'em all pre season and figure it's going to be a good season and then...I'm heading up to Connecticut tonight but will have the netbook to keep me out of trouble...then back to the old grind on Monday...Ken

The TSA frowns on tools being carried aboard planes, even in checked bags.

Whenever I had to fly and needed my tools I usually FedEx'ed them to where I was going.

 

Even in checked bags?? Hadn't heard that was an issue.

 

It should not be an issue but you cannot lock your bags. Even my basic tools would cost over $1500 to replace. It would take close to 2 months to receive payment if the airlines misplaced them. I cannot go that long without my tools.

 

Now that makes sense ... hadn't thought about the "misplaced" angle. I'd do the same thing. Thanks for explaining... I'm coming up on the end of my night shift ... so I'm not the sharpest right now.

 

morning all: been there-night shift was not good; felt like chit! we worked swing shift, glad it's over.

 

Thought I would post this here as many of us are former, active, or retired military.

I received a package today from one of our deployed Air Force Airman. I send him my issues of AutoWeek once I finish reading them. Well today I received a great thank you gift from Greg, the deployed Airman. Three cans of soda and a Central Command Mug.
This was a fantastic gift and made my day today.



When I was deployed back in 1970-71 I remember guys getting comic books from home. Everyone on the barracks read them as they would always get passed around. I have sent AutoWeek to our guys deployed overseas in the past and todays GI's do the same thing with them as we did in 1970.

What is really nice, Greg and I met a few years back at a meet in Michigan.

This will make the weekend all that much better.

 

Good one Tom, Some of the best trade stuff I had in Da Nang was 3 week old hard cookies from my Mom, You just do not know what small things you miss till you can't get them... Jim
