Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Knox "Superfine" Homburg pulls in a Superfine price! I imagine it was the color that drove the price as much as the "Superfine" designation. Homburgs usually don't get that much love. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
:D Congratulations to your wife for the win, and to you, you lucky devil! :eusa_clap It looks to be a nice one, and does have a Playboy look about it. As I said, it's just as well I didn't win it. I need to rein in the spending a bit. It would have been cool to just drive into town and pick it...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Lost on a nice Champ Featherweight today. Apparently I lost by thousandths of a second. The winning bid was the same as mine, and submitted at the same time to the hundreths of a second. I would have been able to save on shipping costs, too, as the seller location is the county seat where I...- Tango Yankee

Congratulations, Randall!! That looks like a nice one. I'd forgotten that today was the Super Bowl, but you're probably right... there may have been some interested in the hat that got caught up with the game and forgot about it. Worked out well for you! Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Disney's Carousel of Progress
Nice. Growing up in southern California in the 60's and 70's the Carousel was a favorite of mine as well. The motorboats were cool, too! I have a photograph somewhere of the model of Space Mountain they had on display in 1977; you can see me and my girlfriend reflected in the glass. We were...- Tango Yankee

Home Delivery of Ice, Milk, Laundry, etc.
I missed this back when it was posted. Here in rural Ohio the counties have similar service instead of regular bus routes. You call them up, tell them where you are and where you want to go and they come and transport you. No idea what it costs, though, and you do have to plan in advance to make...- Tango Yankee

1947 Bentley Mark VI to be auctioned--What a work of art!
This is from the Hemmings Blog. After I managed to get my jaw off the floor I thought that this was too good to not share: For more photos and a description check out the Barrett-Jackson web site. Enjoy! Tom- Tango Yankee

how many years can a forum last? will you still be a active member in 10 - 15 years?
I suppose a forum can last as long as it's members do! I've been a member of the Internet BMW Riders list since 1994 or so. There was recently bit of noise about wanting to move from a mail list to a forum, but that died down rather quickly as there are a number of BMW motorcycle-related forums...- Tango Yankee

Teenage Photos of YOU - If You Dare!
OK, here's a few: Junior High School Graduation, June 1974, 14 years old: High school ID card photo, 11th grade which puts it as being taken in fall of 1975; I'd have been 15 (close to 16--November birthday). A year later, at 16 (close to 17): And at 18, New Year's Eve, 1977...- Tango Yankee

what CD do you have in the car?
"A Salty Piece of Land" by Jimmy Buffett; audiobook. Book before that was "The Time Traveler's Wife." Sirius radio has been on Forties on Four most of the time when I take a break from the book. For Christmas my wife gave me (besides a bench grinder) a turntable that has a USB connection so I...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I've been surprised at how often I'll win an auction and have the winning bid be either right at or less than a dollar under my maximum bid. For instance, I recently won a Stetson 3X Open Road for $.50 less than my maximum bid. I don't know if it's just blind luck or if I've gotten good at...- Tango Yankee

National Handwriting Day, January 23rd
The Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association has declared January 23 to be National Handwriting Day. The date was chosen as it is the birthday of John Hancock, he whose bold signature on the Declaration of Independence lent itself to the term "your John Hancock" being synonymous with "your...- Tango Yankee

Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
My wife watched Oprah's interview with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. One thing that struck her was his comment that a lot of the people who are selected to go on American Idol are better than he and Aerosmith were when they were starting out, but that most won't win and they won't be willing to do...- Tango Yankee

Marc, I understand completely. I went overseas at the end of December, 1990. I was stationed in Germany, Guam, and England and returned stateside at the end of June, 2002 (though I did take leave stateside from time to time.) Several things stood out for me: first, was just how large the general...- Tango Yankee
