    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Powers will always be number one, as far as I'm concerned.

    Do Men Hate Women's Hats?

    Love women's hats. I think many of them look very attractive and classy.

    11 Inch Red Wing Pecos Pull On Boot USA Made in Size 12

    I wish they were 13. I have a pair I bought new (first used pair wore out after 4 years of daily use). The BEST boot I've ever owned by far.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    We have major road problems here, too. Seeing its first European traveler in 1673, my town is a very old one, especially for the midwest. There are many one-way streets, and the River and the canal make travel even worse. I could walk to work every day, if not for that darn canal. I can see the...

    The Passing Away of John Erickson, Fellow Lounger and Friend to Many.

    Very well said. Losing people is never easy, but it is nice having places like The Lounge. That way, you can go back, read posts, banter back and forth, and remember fondly.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    With you on all of this. I know fins serve no purpose, but to look cool. Neither does chrome, or flamboyant colors, but boy they sure make a car look good! I've owned plenty of classics, but I always liked the big-finned behemoths the best. My dream car is a '59 Eldorado Biarritz...

    In terms of a span of years, when do you place the "Greatest Generation"?

    My neighbor down the street is a WWII vet, seems to be in good shape, lives on his own, and maintains his home beautifully.

    The Passing Away of John Erickson, Fellow Lounger and Friend to Many.

    Every so often, I stumble across one of his posts and just get sad, knowing he's gone.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    They worked great for us kids, they hold a lot for good Jack and Cokes like Mom and Dad make. We were far from wealthy back then, too, and Mason Jars are cheap. Very sadly, it's not the same around here, at all. They are perfect for that. My cat and dog knock glasses of the night stand...

    Loungers' Pets

    So, the wife went over to my sister's house last night for a few hours. This morning, her and I were on the way to my parents' house, made it about 3 blocks from the house, and heard what sounded like meowing coming from somewhere. We got out to examine, and found one of my sister's kittens had...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I think the plastic ones are more fulfilling what we refer to around here as the "wannabe redneck" market. They think it's trendy to drink from Mason Jars (we did it growing up, because they were cheap and hard for us kids to break.) I still find the glass ones at several stores, including...

    Show us your vintage home!

    Thank you for the kind words. I'm nuts about plants and on top of what I posted, have planted about 15 tiger lilies, 35 bridal wreath plants, 10 arborvitaes, and 13 rose bushes. FF - I'm enjoying watching your project and you certainly aren't messing around! Good to see a project being done...

    Show us your vintage home!

    Did some planting around the house, last week. I've always wanted a cluster of birches in the corner of my yard, and now I do. Hydrangea: Mums: Hops: Don't know what this was, but had to move it in order to make way for some of the others:

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    "One Day at a Time" Schneider's the only reason it's worth watching. They should have gave him his own show.

    Show us your Guns!

    My dad gave me this old flintlock. I took it home, cleaned it up, got some railroad spike wall hangers, and a powder horn for it. I think it looks nice above the TV.

    Show us your vintage home!

    I feel your pain, too, Big Man. I still have a few small painting and staining projects left, mostly trim, in and out on the house. I painted every room in this house over the past 12 months and just have had my fill for awhile lol Not to mention I have to paint the outside of the cabin next...
