Or gas stations. It’s where I got my first pack; Marlboro reds for a quarter and a dime.

Thank God I quit more than 20 years ago. Now I can’t even stand the smell. Makes me angry.

......you rent the log splitter for a full week instead of just two days. Which is what we just did, to finally get all of this ash wood down to burning size. Took 3 days, which at the daily rental rate is exactly the same as renting it for a week. (Pic is our first day's output.) Now we have to stack it, ugh.

I shouldn’t laugh , but a couple of days of moving and stacking firewood had chest pains and ambo trip to hospital. Ripped out the wood burner and put in a bunch heat pumps after.

Now it’s a case of ….. now, where did I leave that remote 🤔

Depends on how old you consider “AF.”

And burning your fingers on them if you tried to change them too soon after the flash.

Speaking of that.... I seemed to have lost a magazine for the 380 I lost in a boating accident somewhere between the upstairs master and the downstairs family room; it isn't that far...

I remember some crazy people getting around the dizzy problem by putting their control line hand grip on a stake in the middle of a circle, starting the engine, and making a mad dash out of the flight path before the plane came around on its first lap.

Gotta love the smell of methanol, castor oil, and nitromethane in the afternoon.....

One of these days, I'm going to get around to inventing a life preserver to stop these senseless boating accident tragedies.....

[grannyknot]

When I was a kid we would walk up to the Texaco gas station with a specially modified bottle opener and a plastic cup for a free Coke. You only got half the bottle and had to be fast before the attendant caught you.

...when you were excited to find one of these Cox .049-powered bad boys under the Christmas tree...and still to this day remember cutting the straps that held it in the box for shipping.....
