  1. Past hour
  2. I've never watched it.
  3. In March of 1971 I flew from Salt Lake City to Chicago to Peoria, IL for a job interview. They paid for the whole trip. The morning after I got there I dressed in my finest suit and walked four blocks to the place of the interview. I had checked the weather forecast be fore I left Utah and it said the weather in Peoria would be in the mid 70s. That morning it was 38 degrees and snowing. At a few minutes before 11:00 am I walked into the office and sat down. A few minutes later a man walked out, introduced himself, and told me to follow him. We took an elevator down to street level and rode a taxi to a very elegant restaurant where we met two other men and a lady. The lady almost immediately asked If I had an overcoat because of the weather. I told her I had left it behind because I hadn't expected cold weather. She got up and went the front desk, made a phone call, and came back. After the lunch she spoke to the man who had brought me to there to take me a few doors down to haberdashery. We were met at the door by a finely dressed gent. She joined us there a few minutes later and they bought me a top coat, a very soft scarf (which I still have), gloves and rubber shoe covers (which we used to call "rubbers") and an umbrella. I asked if they bought everyone clothing like that and she smiled and said "No, Mister Taylor. Only those who want to join our supervisory staff. Will you accept?" OH, HELL YES!!! I went back to Utah, finished my school year there, moved my family to Pekin, and went to work for them in their Morton plant at three times what I had been earning as a sixth grade teacher. That was my introduction to Caterpillar Tractor Company. Two years later I joined the Marine Corps to get out of Illinois.
  4. I have a copy of A Comprehensive Guide To The Winchester Model 1897 by William Longiotti. I bought it thinking I might use it someday. It comes close to what you describe. They are cheap on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204966002539
  5. Today
  6. Same here at Wendy’s, Mickey D’s and Burger King.
  7. Thank you all, I missed the email in contact page but now I saw it. Inquiry sent.
  8. Guardians win 9-5 on to Saturday at home! Whooo weeee Game 5!!!
  9. Mine used to be named "ICE Surveillance."
  10. I had to leave Land Run early so, I missed a chance to query the TGs from my clubs concerning the costume discussion regarding kilts. I understand that the discussion got a little heated and it was determined to move it to the TG Wire. So what’s the deal? Inquiring minds…. La Sombra
  11. Just the way he was saying it. You remember the lunchroom scene in Animal House? Otter (Tim Matheson) walks over to the table and offers to buy Mandy (or was it Babs?) her lunch. She points to the tray. "Oh I see you have your lunch. Can I buy you some milk?" She holds up the carton. "And you have your milk too." And that's the same impression I got from the scene. "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" And she sitting there drinking a cup of coffee at the time. Many restaurants, in my area - when you order coffee they not only bring you a cup of coffee but they bring you a thermal carafe which has got maybe two or three other cups in it. They don't have to come fill it up. Just keep topping it off as long as you like.
  12. Got several. FYI.....2 or more are 30.00 a bucket.
  13. Appears to be a woodpecker. And this is what videos used to look like on my other phone. But this is only the third video that someone is posted since I got my new phone, and like I said, the first two downloaded instead of just letting me watch it on the site. I guess it was the type of video posted, and not my new phone.
  14. Looking for apair of ruger new model vaquero with5 1/2 inch barrels
  15. Until at least the late 1960s coffee was a nice a cup and no free refills. The price seems to have gone up enough to cover refills now.
  16. We were issued standby orders yesterday for possible deployment to the region & equipment storage cache were being prepped for deployment depending on storms track/intensity after landfall.
  17. Might could be he was just being polite and letting her know that he's serving himself so she's aware that it's maybe going down faster than expected. Or so she doesn't have to come and ask.
  18. Did you invite your friend in? Or at least give him a snack?
  19. @Alpo What do you see? 20260720_114242.mp4
  20. Not just you. I think it's either how it's save on whatever they're posting from or how this site handles homemade videos now.
  21. Well, antiperspirant pilling in armpit hair only recently became an issue. Depulation of the axiilae is quite recent social development. Scarcely ove 100 years old. Why did it start? Sleeveless dresses and high fashion for the first time exposed that part of the female anatomy. It was almost instantly seized on by razor companies partnered wit fashion magazines and a major campaign was launched to convince women that to maintain an image of youth, health, and hygiene women must shave their armpits. Before Gillette came out with the first safety razor for women, if women got rid of armpit hair it was by plucking, waxing, or abrasion. Or, i suppose, having someone else shave them. But it wasn’t the social norm
  22. For downstate Illinois, outside of Cook County here are some practical suggestions. For rifle: a Winchester model 61 or 62 pump 22 LR For shotgun: Remington 870 12 ga Pistol: H&R 22 9 shot revolver for truck or tractor These are practical for around the farm or hunting, varmints and plinking which Chicago knows nothing about.
  23. Did you replace the Mastodon grips, or is that a different gun?
