    What's for Dinner?

    I decided to marinate the pork chops in olive oil Italian spices and fresh rosemary from the garden. It should be good.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It was the 1974 version of Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. That movie could never be made today as the almost endless list of silver screen and stage talent that was used in that film no longer is around.

    sick and tired of new scrap appliances.

    I thought I might help this thread out, since I have also been having fun along with others getting it side tracked a little. :D Here is my Grandmothers 1930's electric sandwich press. It most likely would have survived the A Bomb test at the Trinity Test Site. It has a switch that will never...

    What's for Dinner?

    We are hoping to move in the next few years to a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia to a town that has a population of about 1,500. Such a nice quiet place and friendly people. We are tired of the whole northeast hustle bustle, expensive living, high taxes, and rude people...

    sick and tired of new scrap appliances.

    The sleeve protectors are easy to make, the green visors may be a bit of a problem to come by ones in celluloid. Perhaps we need to be on the look out for some new old stock stashed in the back of some old stationary stores, or have someone check the back room of an old accounting firm. I have...

    Loungers' Pets

    Here is the family pet, Dakota, our pure breed yellow Labrador. She is a lovable and exuberant and intelligent dog. She starts dancing around whenever I tell my son it is time to "feed the beast." A really wonderful and protective dog.

    sick and tired of new scrap appliances.

    They got their start back in the days when accountants, copy review men, etc had to work in rooms with large windows prior to the use a the electric light bulb. And you hit the nail on the head, they were used to help cut down on glare that causes eye strain. Their use continued well into the...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I recently had 7 people in her, 4 in the back, 3 in the front when I took friends children out for a spin to get some ice cream, about 10 miles away. The four in the back were my friends kids, of which two were teenage boys, and their two younger sisters, and no one complained about feeling...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    It's such a shame when people let old cars sit unprotected and deteriorate to such a point that they are only good for parts at best. I saw a 1959 Lincoln Continental Sedan that was sitting out in a yard with garden hoses on the trunk, and a children's play pool upside down on the roof. And the...

    sick and tired of new scrap appliances.

    It sound like we are going to need to purchase some teletype machines to run what is rapidly becoming a world wide organization that will be centered out of our world headquarters in Maine USA! We also need to find a source for some green visors to wear when we are doing copy review work. It...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Hi again, I will second the advantage of having a large car, you have so much more room. Here is a snap of when the "Queen Mary" first arrived at my place after a better than 20 year sleep under a car cover in a barn. (I should add that my brother in law was sick about his cars up north going to...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    What say about island cars are very true. And yes we are aware that "down east" has many quaint towns, and when we visit one we always try not to intrude on others privacy, or be at all associated with the ugly tourist syndrome. We have found people are for the most part are helpful and friendly...

    I'd be willing to be your Mid-Atlantic pro bono corespondent. I already have the mid 1930's Imperial portable typewriter! Rats and I just got rid of my old Kodak Junior 6-16 camera!

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Maine is a really nice state. We have been there on vacation a number of times. We even honeymooned on Peaks Island, which as you know is part of Cumberland. You many know this already but there is a sticker I saw on some old cars out on Peaks that said "Island Use Only," and did not require any...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Thanks for the offer! I had not considered that alternative. If I go that route I may ask my brother if he would like to try and tackle it. He happens to be a certified marine fiberglass technician, and is used to working on people's very expensive tub toys. He is probably over qualified for the...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    My brother in law that currently owns a personal fleet of 7 classic cars also told me not to be too concerned about driving my 65 Lincoln, as he said that he also has yet to be stopped for driving any of his cars too much. I will add that his cars are all heading toward the high end, and hence...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I wish it was that simple here. New Jersey has the unfortunate deserved reputation to be something of a nanny state. It's as if we are not capable of being responsible enough to take care of ourselves.

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    This is what I heard from my brother in law that is a master mechanic for a local university. It is his job to keep their fleet of vehicles on the road. He also has a bevy of classic cars of his own, (He has down sized from 15 to only 7.) all of which have classic tags. When I told him I was...

    sick and tired of new scrap appliances.

    It sounds like perhaps we could set you up to publish a monthly at very least! I might perhaps be willing to donate a working candlestick phone for the office. Now where do we locate the office?
