    The passing of my Hero...

    Hello folks, It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that my Father, Valentino Joseph Ruisi, had passed away yesterday morning. The world is much poorer for the loss. I have and will always love my hero & I shall miss him. He was Born February 6, 1929 and passed this day, September 30...

    True Grit!

    The one thing about the Coen Brothers is that the manage to, after making a dud or two, bring out a hit with the next film. I think they do their best work with period pieces though. Cheers! Dan

    The King's Speech (2010)

    I think one of the things I'm really looking forward to is the costuming in this one. I just liked what I saw in the trailer & pictures. I mean the story is of great interest, but I alway am interested in what they wore back in the day. Theses period pieces a sort of a good little color window...

    True Grit!

    I'm actually looking forward to this. I think they will do the story justice. From what I've heard they are staying closer to the book with the story than they Wayne version. Personally I think Jeff Bridges will be able to hold his own in this one by comparison. I love the Dukes movies but I...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    One of my favorites is a cargo/troop carrier. It is the Fairchild C-82. Partly because of its unique look at the time and partly because of all the stories that my Pop would tell me about flying around in them as he was being transported around Germany in the early 1950's. He even got...

    The King's Speech (2010)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1504320/ The Tailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1424886041/ I am genuinely interested in this period piece. Although it is a drama it has some nice natural comedy moments to it. The Cast of Geoffrey Rush, Colin Firth & Helena Bonham Carter looks like it...

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    Ok, does anybody here use a teardrop trailer? I imagine they are a sight better than sleeping on a thin pad on the ground in a tent. Plus you have the cooking space located in the back as well. So, who here has one, vintage or new? I would love to hear about your adventures in camping with...

    Great pics Paddy! Dig on the Duffle Coat. Looks like perfect fall weather there. Right now we're going to have about a week of 100 degree temps. Not good for the coats right now where I'm at. Cheers! Dan

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    Ok, I found a pic on line of the Lantern that My Pop has. It is a Bernz-O-Matic Lantern. There is also a camp stove that is similarly designed and took the bottled propane. The same bottles that one would use for a small torch for soldering. I'm going to have to go digging through my...

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    In my searches this evening I also had found a modern alternative to the Swiss surplus volcano bottle/stove from a company called Kelly Kettle. It does have a different look to it but I think it is essentially they same. The Kelly Kettle also has a full cooking kit option as well...

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    Ok, a bit more searching with different combinations seemed to help. I was right. it is Swiss Military surplus. They are called Volcano Bottles. Apparently they use a fuel tab but you can also burn wood, dried peat or any other fuel under it. Here is a blog about it...

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    There was a posting about a year ago about a cooking bottle of some sort. I can't remember if it was Swedish or Swiss but I believe it was military in origin. It was a bottle & stove and everything in one neat package. All you had to do was build a small fire under it to get things going & I...

    On yer bike!

    There are a few others from Felt Bicycles that caught my eye. These are from their Cafe series of bikes. The Cafe 7 The Cafe 8 Deluxe The Cafe 3 They all look like they have a cup holder in front of the handle bars. I think that the only thing I would add to any of these bikes, especially...
