426 pack Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I got a set of brand new flow tech 302 headers. They were 70% off and I just couldn’t leave them behind. Now all I need is a 302. Edited February 25, 2019 by 426 pack
Tom Geiger Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Browsing eBay (which is a dangerous thing!) I found a lot of 28 different old cards and envelopes with my favorite Ben Franklin stamp on them.

ewetwo Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I got all of the picture items. Brand new on clearance at Walmart for $75 plus tax. Including four 20 volt lithium batteries and three chargers. They were last years display items. Score!
Tom Geiger Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Line up those chargers and keep all the batteries charged! The units are convenient, not dragging around cords and such, but the batteries don't last long! I have both the chain saw and the leaf blower. The blower is low power so I just use it for the pool deck. I have an electric one for the real leaf work.
ewetwo Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I have the 18 regular batterry ones but the batteries last one year and maybe 5 minutes. . I thought I was doing a step up. Darn it. I should have gone with Ryobi.

The card on the lower right is almost going too calligraphy. The one on the upper left has an interesting picture on the front.

Today we chicken scratch. You liked the picture of the little girl. Here's an interesting postcard. Photography was still novel in 1907, and sending things via postcard was also a fad. So a mother took little Clayton to a photographer and he produced the photograph on postcard stock. Captured in time. Think about it. Little Clayton had his whole life ahead of him in September 1907. And now his entire life has been spent. He'd be 111 years old today. So how did he do? Was he successful? Did he have a happy life? Oh, I love these snippets of history!

martin9428 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I received my Vivid Red Cocktail paint from Splash Paints. Very easy to order from and had it in a week. This will be the first paint through my airbrush. Hopefully it works well.
vintagedragcrazy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 My newest toy was my father-in-law's favorite gun I got after he passed away was bought new in 1972 colt 357 Python! vince
cobraman Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Best .357 ever ! I bought a new Dan Wesson .357 years ago and that's pretty good too but it ain't a Python.
KWT Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Picked this up over the weekend.. Put around 150 rounds through it yesterday without a hiccup. Fun and pretty darn accurate also.
JollySipper Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Picked up one of THESE bad Mamma-Jamma's! Really, tho...... I would think fire arms would be as tough a topic as politics or religion......

Expand Why? Guns and shooting are a hobby for a lot of people just like any other hobby. Shooting can be a lot of fun when done safely. And a great way to relieve stress as well. Shoot a tannerite target at 300 yards and it's quite a thrill to watch it explode. Lets you know right away whether you hit what you were aiming at or not. I convinced my wife to try target shooting with a .22 and she had a blast. She wants to get her own gun now. My oldest daughter is 12 and she was taught the basics of gun safety several years ago. I have two small children as well and once they get older they'll be taught the basics as well. I don't want them to be afraid of firearms but they're for sure going to respect them.

I would think fire arms would be as tough a topic as politics or religion...... Expand There are many in society that are opposed to guns at any level. The Constitution grants use the right to bare arms. If a citizen doesn't feel comfortable doing that then we should respect their right to for go ownership of a gun. But we also need to respect the rights of those that due. With gun ownership comes a tremendous responsibility in all of the safety aspects of gun ownership. A visit to the Shooting Range from time to time is always a good experience along with the proper cleaning, storing, and securing your fire arm so that someone that shouldn't be handling a gun doesn't have accesses to it. That's kind of a cute looking Cap Gun. I like that they painted it a color that shouldn't be mistaken for the real thing.
cobraman Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Years ago I posted a photo of a firearm I had bought ( Masterpiece Arms 9mm top cock ) and I got a very polite message as to why the post was deleted. I think it was Harry if I remember right. Said there was forums for that. I respected his decision and never posted another.
vintagedragcrazy Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 sorry i posted them i thought it was a place to post what you got that wasnt a model i guess i was wrong! but i still believe in my second amendment rights and just sent my membership to NRA today! vince
cobraman Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Maybe it's ok now ? I didn't see any one complain. I too am a gun collector and member of the NRA.

mchook Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 It wasn't today but Tuesday, our house is here & it wont be long now.
landman Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 A new combination square. The level bubble was long gone and now the adjustment nut split in half. Things don't last anymore. It was only about 40 years old.

martinfan5 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Got me a new fast lens, its actually 50mm focal length because of the crop on my camera.
SfanGoch Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Ordered this today: It's an Arcade1Up Deluxe Edition 12-In-1 Arcade Cabinet. Comes with 12 classic '80s arcade games, the same ones we remember playing at our favorite gin mills of our youth. It will be set up in the living room of our new place. My son and his friends will be able to enjoy themselves doing goofy stuff when they come over. It's the perfect companion to the AFX Giant Raceway slot car set (all 62.5 feet of it!) that will be mounted on a 4'x8' folding tabletop. Man, it's great to be single again!
cobraman Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Party on ! He who dies with the most toys wins and your off to a great start ! Have fun !
