Made in Stockton, CA, by SureLifeFoods with rolled oats, apricots, raisins, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, honey, coconut. quinoa, chia seeds, and "many more". I don't see any connection to Australia, but the darn things are GOOD for a snack. They were given to me by a friend who is out of contact for two more weeks so I can't ask her where they came from.....and I'm too lazy to seek them out on the web.

1908 car race New York to Paris

I agree. I just ordered it from the library again...probably the 25th time....or maybe more. "Push the button, Max!" -
Yeah! I need that like I need mumps.. To each his own, I guess.

What the Mare's Leg should have been.

Damn fine question. It's an answer to a question that I would never have asked. -
Does any other country have bulk sausage?

Looks like it would go well with haggis...or vegimite. -
Ruth Buzzi, Gladys on Laugh In, at 88
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Many years ago my wife and I went to a 50th wedding anniversary for the parents of some Sicilian blooded friends. We went to a place called Pizzaioli in LA. We were the only ones in the party that weren't relatives. Papa saw Dom Delouis SP?) and a woman eating in a corner and they got to trading social things. We were all standing around when the woman, a tiny little lady walked up to me and locked her arm in mine. She looked around me and said to my wife, "He's kinda cute. Can I keep him?" My wide said "Hell no! I spent years getting him house broken and I'm not going to go through that again." The little lady was Ruth Buzzi and she and my wife stayed in touch for several years. She and Dom were both were wonderful people (and side-splitting hilarious) who ,if their faces weren't well known, would have been great friends and neighbors. -
I craved a Bernardelli Brescia 12 gauge double barrel shotgun some years ago. A customer brought a three barrel cased gun with accessories into the shop where I was working. A wonderful gun in every respect but way out of my price range. I told the owner I'd give him a hundred bucks for it. Without a blink (nor even the slightest smile) he said "Mister, I wouldn't even shoot you with this gun for a hundred dollars!" I'd still like to own one but it's still out of my range.

How low can you go?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Saw that in 'Nam a time or two. Heard about it more frequently. Usually after a run fairly close and the pilots didn't even raise the landing gear for a very short run. It seemed to be a standard tactic with SPADS (AD-1 Skyraiders). -
I always wanted a Mannlicher - Schoenauer 1908 carbine....until I got one. Ammo was going for $81.00 for a box of 20,. Those "damned German claw mounts" had been mounted and the receiver was cut to handle them. I finally found the mounts but never did find the scope rings. Otherwise it was nearly perfect. I sold it for $5.00 more than I paid for it and sold the few original rounds it came with for another profit. I'd like to get a Thompson M1A1 submachine gun like I carried in 'Nam. Too many barriers to do that one.

Who are these people?
-
Looks about as practical as a barb wire jock strap....but at least someone was working on a rapid fire gun that predates many others.

If I could see the next chamber was empty and he was that close he would very soon have a much longer inseam and I'd have his pistol.

Ithaca Featherlight 12 gauge pump shotgun (Number seven...I traded a few but never again) bought four years ago. SKB 200E12 gauge bought at the factory in Japan in 1974. S&W (Uberti) First Model American .45 Colt bought four years ago, but not received for five months. Forgot a plain as can be ( except for low profile three dot tritium sights) 1911 .45 with double diamond walnut grips.

F/A 18 from USS Truman fell overboard

Ships, planes and people come and go. Gravity, inertia, and centrifical force last forever. -
I lost my wife nine years ago. Our 60th anniversary will be in 2 1/2 more months. It's great to see others who have lasted so long. It seems that those who stick it out that long are as scarce as eyebrows on eggs. Congratulations to you both.

Roy Clark, Folsom Prison Blues
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I saw him in Reno waaaaay back. He was doing his thing and stopped right in the middle and looked at the audience. He said very seriously, "Folks, I can see from the expressions on your faces exactly what y'all are thinkin'. You're sayin' to yourselves 'Lord ain't that boy talented' "....and went on with the show. He put on a great show every time I saw him. -

Rust-oleum comes in lots of colors. Use your imagination.

I bought it new in 1978-1979. It became battle-worn, torn and tattered over the years, but is still structurally sound. To replace it would cost almost $2000.00. I found a company called FIBRENEW and they came to my house. They don't reupholster, they restore leather and plastic covers. You have to find another solution for wood, metal, or fabric furniture. In 4 1/2 hours the lady and gent who own the place used very fine abrasives, magic solutions, finely-blended dyes, air brushes, salves and ointments and polishes, and whatever else they needed. I got a chair that looks nearly new (they even patched a badly worn spot one one arm and a 3" cut on the other arm) and with a coupon I spent $425.00 for the job.....a whole lot less than a new chair or a fully re-upholstered one. I have no idea if they are local one-off company or a worldwide chain, but they get my vote if I ever have another need. They are great craftsmen and wonderful artists as well. If you need that sort of repair / restoration In recommend them without reservation.

I have a set of five stones that I've owned for over forty years andI bought a new very fine diamond steel. A bit of a PITA but I learned how to use them many moons ago and still get a better than necessary edge when I sit down and take my time. The steel is good for a quick dress up.

I don't think my parents had sex after 1989.

I was 31 days premature (Mom had a ruptured appendix and they figured that had something to do with it), my son was 19 days early, my daughter was 27 days early and my wife died while delivering her. They took the baby and brought my wife back with minor negative results to either one. Scared the hell out of me!
