    Ghosts Spirits Whatever You Call Them......Real???

    The sharing of experiences here reaffirm my understanding of and belief in the system I was raised with. I for one appreciate the comforting affirmations. The only thing I could hope more for is reuniting with my canine companions. Gonna be real disappointed in the system if they aren't there...

    "H.P. Lovecraft Writes Olive Garden's Dinner Menu."

    Ahh but the unlimited salad and bread sticks at lunch can fill a man delightfully and cheaply (at least pre-chinese flu). Don

    Synthetic or traditional oil in my new compressor?

    I think I commented in the post that the manual doesn't reference synthetic or conventional. Just talks viscosity for a temp range. I just want this compressor to last as well as the 2000 cast iron twin Campbell Hausfeld I downsized from. But it was too big for my downsized shop Like driving a...

    Synthetic or traditional oil in my new compressor?

    I pick up a "Big Bore" Makita MAC700 small compressor tomorrow. Oil lubed pump. Owner manual says to run 20 minutes without load to break it in. But I don't see where it says to change oil in the new pump motor after that. Decided that I will indeed change it with fresh oil. Home Depot has full...

    nails...price check!

    My beloved spouse Miss Penny gave $35 for ten nails several weeks back a few doors down the sidewalk from the outpatient physical therapy clinic I was in for post-op PT. Makes her smile, which makes me happy too. I urged my Angel on Earth to do it. Don.

    Ruger MKIV .177 Airgun--Now with Shooting Report and Pic!

    I'm a real airgun lover and that's a neat pistol! I'll wait to see if a .22 pellet version arrives before laying down any cash, but as mentioned above above, accuracy is a really important thing. I'll take low power/great accuracy over high power-hohum accuracy any day. Having high hopes for...

    Duluth's $18.50 underwear

    Grin. They REALLY stay at a distance if I smear peanut butter on the trailing edge of them before wearing. Just sayin'. Don

    Duluth's $18.50 underwear

    I find it most comfortable to wear my boxer briefs on the outside of my Riggs Workwear jeans. The material matters less doing it my way also. But that's just me. Don

    what is the oldest item in your home?

    I have an 1823 history of the USA book I inherited (I'm the last man standing in my nuclear family of origin sad to admit). Kinda funny. Back in 8th grade about 1972, there was an illustration in my school history book of the same 1823 history book, with the caption "Illustration from an early...

    Hawks & Doves

    Alrighty. Seriously friends. Does the Eurasian dove taste as good as the Mourning Doves I used to eagerly await late afternoon, September 1 opening season of each year as a teenager? Ahh my $1.88 a box Western Auto #7 1/2 shells didn't last long. When and if they arrive here in Southern KY, I...

    Any body see Picketpin anymore?

    I see more and more posts asking "have you seen (seen posts from/heard from/ etc) this member (or that one)" these days. At least it seems that way to me. I know of one member that lost his password in a laptop crash annd apparently there's no way to sign up again. No new members allowed these...

    Shared morning w/timeless tool yesterday. Romance story.

    "Hello old friend. You're still looking powerful and good. Boy we had some great times, didn't we?" Don said under his breath to his buddy, as he lifted the Black and Decker 1179 corded drill off the shelf. "I've not asked for your help in years. But these 1/2 inch holes in thick sheet steel...
