Ahh, the memories, buffers, Johnson paste wax, and of course the time the burning wax poured on the floor and set the floor tiles on fire -- or at least the top layers of wax on the floor. -- Boy --...

Donovan,
That is a great story. I'm glad to hear you had the opportunity to speak with him and get to know that side of him. I think it's a sign of mutual respect that he opened up to you, as he...

Several of my shooting buddies reload. At least 6 or 7 of them. A couple of friends/acquaintances cast as well. I was probably instrumental in getting a few to load. And now another buddy is thinking...

I've taught a 5 friends to reload, but only one at a time. I first have them read a guide or manual. If they are still interested, then I have them come over and take them through the steps on my...

Yes, most definitely. I have an old Vette, that's been parked for around 8-9 years. The tires were new when I had to park it. Well, last year one of the tires just blew on it's own. Delaminated the...

First time I learned about them was when I was looking for air filters for my wife's 2009 Saturn Vue, it listed a cabin air filter as well. Hmm? OK, so I found it, found the info on where it is; have...

Thumbcocker Congrats!
I'm 56 now, and I remarried and started a family not too long ago, so with an 8 and 11 year old, retiring "early" is not in my financial cards. But, I am planning for 67 to be...

I've got a couple of dies that are in bad shape. I'll check what I have tonight and let you know. If you want them, pay for shipping and they're yours.
