Well, just call me slow as well as the requisite stupid, but where is the "front right corner" of a flag? ** this is about a year and several dozen days late } I often find that someones explanation of the proper way to display a flag, aggravates my ignorance of geometry or several other...

I hope this is not considered an ad, but I would like to know if there is any place to look for ads for older military vehicles, such as the studebaker trucks ? That is, somewhere without having to wade through miles of ads for other stuff ? I much admire the trucks from WWI and WWII, and even...

This is an interesting series, although I get the familiar feeling that I may be reading Spanish ( for example ) which I only understand half of, and that only half the time. Interesting, though. Thanks.

Hmmm. What did I just say about robots? Well, I have to say that the errors I see in my post, were caused by me. The "Cheyenne, Wyoming is old news. Been in Yuma for a few years now. Not sure if I should correct that, because I am such a tramp, one step ahead of the sheriff. Or that...

I seem to be about 2 years too slow in responding to your post & photos. I live in the Yuma foothills and am wanting to buy an older truck, maybe a 135 or a CCKW if I got that acronym correct. This robot looking over my shoulder frowned sinisterly when I said "CCKW", which I take to mean...

Haven't had a ham license for some years now, thus I am fully qualified to ask the ignorant question: why did you take the technician test, then take the general? Can't you just walk in & take the general? Or higher? I am one of the authentic old geezers who deplore the fading away of...

Very nice pictures of interesting vehicles. thanks. James {Lt. Corporal} [somewhat akin to "Radar" 's "corporal captain"]

I sure hope I don't sound like Big Bro's shill, although someone may take this that way, but I have been to several communities which prohibit you parking your car in your driveway, let alone a classic MV. In your garage with everything. That is one reason why you see those big, old towering...

Lawsy me, chile! These here machines are so much smarter than I! I tried 3 times to correct my last post which mentioned " ... a girl I was dating ..." and this store-bought contraption refused to write that 4-letter word ("girl")! What a fussy machine this is! I blame the FBI and Elvis, too...

Jeep-jeep is correct about the over-powered little jeep. Whenever anyone mentions a large engine in a smaller vehicle, I recall (fondly) my first 4-wheeeee! -drive vehicle: 1951 Willys P.U. I broke more axles with that V-8 engine. (Don't report me to the thread police about this, but: y'know...

Ouch! 80 kilo-smackers! But I suppose when you consider what the law (supposedly) is trying to prevent, namely damage to a somewhat high-priced bridge (at least I would hate to have to try to pay for even a teensy bridge, all by my lonesome - just me and my checkbook) it sort of seems...

He had a dream, now it's a bit rusty Yes sir; you are right about the dreams not matching the reality; that elderly gentleman had, as you say, the 'green dream', but Lord have mercy, child: to plant all that gorgeous stuff there in about the best rust-growing region in the lower 48.... I know I...

Yes sir; you are right about the dreams not matching the reality; that elderly gentleman had, as you say, the 'green dream', but Lord have mercy, child: to plant all that gorgeous stuff there in about the best rust-growing region in the lower 48.... I know I too, tend to give in to dreams which...

I thought my comment on the "snoplay" 's avatar would follow his memo. This must be confusing and totally useless for everyone else. :roll: My fault entirely ....... This is yet another great thread from a bunch who are well-informed about stuff we all care about. Thanks. These here now...
