Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I am about 33 years your senior and recognize many of those designs. The one I don't see is the Johnson Silver Spoon that everybody would fish with the pork rind attached. I often think about some day fishing with some of them, If they were effective then are they still effective today. I...
I still have the first lure I ever bought. A South Bend Bass-Orena in Perch finish. Cost me $1.10 back then (circa 1952), a little over 13 bucks in today's money. I can still go in the room I keep sporting goods and remember when I bought most of the stuff and think of the good times I had...
I can remember around 1944-46 helping my Dad straighten nails he recovered from packing crates. During WWII you just didn't go to the hardware store and buy nails. Didn't mind straightening nails as much as I missed having sugar for my morning cereal back then.
My wife won't let me. She bought a new Nissan Sentra the year before and she says since her car is older it should be the first one replaced. It has less than 25,000 miles on it.
I spent the last 24 years driving at 29.25 miles per hour. My 2002 GMC 2500 Diesel I bought new almost 24 years ago just turned over 200,000 miles. My engine hours were 6832.7 for an average of 29.271005... MPH.
My grandfather and father both had a bunch of glass plate negatives which I still have. My previous father in law served 30 years in the Army and was also a photography nut. I had boxes of negatives from his Crown Graphic of which most were lost during a hurricane. I had saved several before...
Just the day before this thread started I found a tool I made 40 or so years ago in the barn. It was for an axle nut but I don't remember on what. I do remember drilling a half inch hole and squaring it up with a triangular file on the piece I welded on one end of the pipe for a 1/2 inch...
3/4 or full floating only pertains to the drive axles. Front will be just like doing an older car except heavier. Remove dust cap. Either remove cotter pin or bend tab on locking washer (which I believe it will have), remove nut, and pull hub. Even if bearings all appear good I would still...
Had an E6B, not quite as fancy as that one. Lent it to a young lady years ago for her to use in ground school. Haven't seen either one since. I still have the Sporty's electronic version.
All these trips down memory lane brought to my attention that I still have a drafting machine which was my fathers on a shelf in one of my shop buildings. Checked on E-Bay and there is a ton of them for sale. Don't think it is even worth listing. I don't remember the exact year but my first...
