I am just dipping my toes into welding. Just need to get 220v run to the garage. Expand Really cool looking. Might want to inspect the plug in real close for condition due to age. Had a 220-air compressor that went up in smoke once.

JollySipper Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Picked up three 'new' titles for my old PS2! I order my games and stuff from Lukie Games. They deal in used systems and such........... They give you a 90 day warranty on the games and a year on consoles, so it's worth the gamble of buying used....... 1
JollySipper Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 Got my yearly pineapple upside-down cake for my birthday today! I've gotten one pretty much every year since I was little.......... 1

ChrisBcritter Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Hit an estate sale today and nabbed this Tonka pink Surrey Jeep, cheep: Missing two roof poles but they're just 1/8" wire, and ordered the missing spare tire off eBay. Paint is in real good shape. Also scored an autographed photo of Julie Newmar as Catwoman 2
JollySipper Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Went to the local library today........... The Hawking book may be a bit over my head, but I always enjoy learning. Always good to get out of my apartment, too.......... 2
OldTrucker Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 (edited) Woke up to find this in my model room today! Wife managed to hide it for a week! She said it was a replacement for one I gave up in the late 70's when times were tough. While not exactly what I had that I sure could not afford today, it still brings back memories. Made for a great birthday! Edited November 16, 2024 by OldTrucker 7

JollySipper Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 I kinda mentioned to my Mom that the little lantern that I have really uses up batteries, and she purchased this rechargeable flash light for me........ It has a forward lamp and one on the side that both have two briteness levels. Also it has a pulsing setting in both white and red, like a distress signal. Really gonna come in handy walking the doggo on these cold nights to come! It really is a nice light.............. 2
Old Buckaroo Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 Truck Freight from "Classic Industries" for the '69 Firebird ! (the cut wrap and box was done by me to check behind the dented cardboard to make sure there was no damage) 4
JollySipper Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Fresh pair of kicks! My favorite brand of shoe........... 3
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Every man needs his own stapler, so now I have one too. Value Village score $6 for a 1965 (?) Ofrex stapler. Pretty cool with the chrome. 1

Ofrex stapler. Pretty cool with the chrome. Expand Hmmmm...probably made in England from real steel instead of "offshore" tin and pot-metal, and will probably last another 100 years.
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 4 Posted January 4 On 1/4/2025 at 9:27 PM, Ace-Garageguy said: probably made in England Expand Yes underneath it says made in England. Totally bought it not only because of how cool it is but because I was very well aware of the double lifetime warranty👍 One of the reasons why I really like vintage things- cool design that’s practical and lasts forever. 2
RSchnell Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Mailman was good to me today. The Ford Design Studio book has been on my radar for a while, finally snagged one at a good price. From a cursory glance it's a nice book. Will have more time to look at it tomorrow evening. The 2 volume '32 Ford book is exactly what I thought it'd be & more. I may not have time to do anything with my '32 pile of parts but at least I can start compiling reference material. 4

Expand In these parts we refer to that as "French Toast Alert" when everyone races to the store and buys all the bread, milk and eggs - but you didn't get eggs. 1
