    What is the Golden Era to you?

    I googled McReynolds...he was quite a character. He seems to have been a very strange man. I would not have been able to put up with him. The funniest part is that he was a member of the Disciples of Christ. He would not fit in AT ALL today.

    The Cap Faction

    Post cards

    While strolling through a flea market today I found a booth that sold just letters and postcards. I could have spent hours there. Most were from the 30s-50s. Post cards from vacations and business trips. Funny stuff. One had a message that said Dear Francis, Today I played minature...

    Show us your vintage home!

    We moved here in June. Went from a 2400 SQF modern home to this 1955 cape. If you count the basement it is roughly 2300sqf. Rooms are a lot smaller though. That said, I really like it. Nice neighborhood, with a neighborhood playground you can walk to. Decent sized yard. We can still throw...

    Your Most-Often-Consulted Reference Books?

    I have lots of old ARRL handbooks and antenna guides. It is much easier for me to consult these than to move from the shop, inside and look something up online.

    Dressing Down For Church Has Gone Too Far, CNN Article

    I wear a suit and tie to church. I do it out of respect for God. If someone wants to wear flip flops and shorts, that's their choice. If the whole congregation except me is dressed that way, I will probably be seeking a new church. I don't look down on people due to what they wear. I have...

    Window planter help.

    We live in a 1955 cape cod house. The window sills outside are concrete. I am of the opinion that a planter outside the kitchen window would be nice to grow herbs etc. what I am confused about is how to put it there. How do you mount it? Does anyone have advice, pictures etc?

    How would you earn a living?

    Ok..you wake up pre WW2. What would you do to earn a living? Could you do your same job? And making money betting on sports...inventing something that doesn't come around for years doesn't count. I am in sales and cover a 3 state area. My job is tons easier today than it would have been 50...

    What would you miss most?

    I would also adjust. Hey, I own tube radios, don't watch tv, I like old guns....I like old cars...I guess the biggest adjustment would be finding a job suited for that time. I still fear the dentist of the past....but I guess I'm good with what they had....

    What would you miss most?

    If you could one day wake up in the 20's-40's...and live there, what would you miss the most from today. I'd miss modern dentist. I dread the idea of drills and no pain relief....

    would you wear a army helmet while firing WWII - Vietnam era firearms?

    If I saw you at a public range wearing a helmet, I would think you were weird. But I wouldn't say anything...have at it but expect looks. If you don't care what total strangers think, do it.

    Have you found Hidden Treasure?

    I recently bought a house built in 1955. During a quick search of the backyard with a metal detector found a 1942 and 1951 penny. Neat to me and my 12 yo. In my previous house I found an all brass shotgun shell from the 1880s... Best finds value wise are from banks. Once had a friendly...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    I don't have a current, or good picture, but I am a big fan of Great Eastern Cutlery. I am also a fan of Barlow knives. This is an older pic of some GEC barlows, an late 60's Case and a cheap Barlow. I have many more but this is the only pic I have. As for modern ones I love my Chris Reeve...
