    I wish I had a job I could dress nicely at

    Well I decided to dress in some nice slacks today, nicer shirt and guess what? Had to grab one of my guys working at a hog farm!!! I guess that will teach me to whimper! Now I've just got to get the smell out of the car!

    I wish I had a job I could dress nicely at

    Copper, I'm on a diet right now as after an accident I got lazy and let my weight shoot up. 300+ is too much!

    Who else grinds coffee?

    Okay, who else here enjoys the results of a fresh ground cuppa java? Just too nice a way to start the morning for me to pass up.

    I wish I had a job I could dress nicely at

    Copper, your first pic looks like my daily dress, too. [wish I was built like you!] Yup, I keep the cowboy boots polished, and 10-4 on the break away ties. Started out as a CO in a max joint and came up through the ranks. I am fortunate to have a good job and an excellent boss, so like I said...

    I wish I had a job I could dress nicely at

    Minor whining here. I've got a very good job [thank you LORD], but as a Field Parole Agent, I just cannot dress in nice clothes. The jeans and casual shirts work well with kevlar vests and the glamorous accessories we carry, but sometimes I wish I could carry my nice fountain pen and wear a...

    CMP is still the best place to get ammo. I wish I had a bunch more of the Korean stuff. I've about used it all up, time to call em and get a couple more cans.......

    Musical Parodies.

    And we cannot forget Victor Borge and the love and laughter he brought to classical music.

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    You just nailed it right there. Things like balancing a checkbook, knowing a little about cars, etc. should be taught to all.

    Slaving over a hot scanner - fashion images from Esquire, August 1937

    Thanks for your efforts, they are very much appreciated. I especially enjoyed seeing how the hat and suits were not automatically color bound.

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    I feel it is a disservice to both genders to say we are the same. Anyone who says men and women think alike is being totally dishonest with themselves. Let each realize and use the strengths that is in us naturally. Of course, we must all be treated equally and fairly, but if someone wishes to...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Thanks Nick. I'm planning on using oak so it will match the bathroom cabinetry. I'll router the edges too, make it look a little more finished. Now I just have to find some threaded 10-32 rod so I can do a blind hole for the mountings. I, too, am blown away by the skill of our jewelry...

    Shave of the Day

    Matt, if you decide to get into this, let me know. I am always prowling antique malls for razors and will find you a good one. Today was nice, slow morning with just me and the cat up. 58 Gillette Toggle Derby Blade Col Conk Badger Brush Mama Bear's Soap 4 passes, bumped it up a notch on...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Knocked out a prototype today fro a new razor/brush stand. Now I know what dimensions I will need and a couple other things. Also, the part I like about it is using old cracked razor handles for the horizontal pieces.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    One other warning! If you remove the sideplate from a revolver, DO NOT PRY IT! Bang on the other side with a rubber mallet until it pops loose. They are very tightly fitted and prying will bugger up the fit.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    A K frame Smith with honest use. What an incredible action they possess. Even the stainless ones are usually very nice. dutch, I like the holster you made, but I love those stocks! What type of wood is that?

    Oh Jakob, that is a great picture! Another trial soap flop, so I said the heck with it and grabbed the Mama Bear's stuff. 58 Gillette Toggle Derby Blade Mama Bear's Diogene's Club Soap Omega Boar Brush 4 passes, lots of time this week, off with a sprained knee cold rinse Clubman AS
