Garage Door Latches....
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I’d start with contacting a local garage door company who might be install one that locks & unlocks with a key and T-handle. Just being nosy, but how come you don’t want electronic? -
Launched in 1977, it’s now 15 billion miles from earth. It took 5 months to fix a glitch in its computers. Think about that, the computers aboard are over 47 years old, and the engineers communicate with it using 1977 computers and their ancient language from earth. A stunning achievement! https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Technology/nasa-voyager-1-spacecraft-sending-readable-data-back-earth/story?id=109572983

Interesting personal find
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Forty Rod SASS 3935's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Sometimes real life intrudes and throws a curveball, which is why I figure these ancestry things are nothing more than an approximation. Family secrets tend to distort the info. A good friend found out at 60+ years of age after parents were long gone, that his father wasn’t his birth father. Seems his mom was prone to fooling around and became pregnant. His dad married her anyway and raised my friend as his own. -
Restoring a 1914 Bissell
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I remember vacs like this, where the bag was huge and suspended from the handle, similar to the Bissell. I also remember that dust and dirt settled in the bottom 10 percent of the bag and never came close to filling it up, requiring it be emptied frequently. -
I wonder if they could do this skit now

As it turned out, there was more than enough wind over the deck that day that the takeoff length was less than anticipated. So much so, that the first couple of aircraft nearly clipped the island with their wingtips. Subsequent planes were told to hold the nose down a bit longer to avoid striking the island.

That’s a fine looking pistol!

WWii aviation googles, history question

Woulda helped if the website showed the images right side up. Looks like lingerie. But then, this is internet and may just be a prank. -

Not just revisionism, but denial. Just like the townsfolk surrounding the camps. -

No more "Reacher" for me.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Celebrities think because people adore their performances onscreen or on field, they’ll also adore their politics and need to share them. I wish there were more like Larry the Cable Guy who said to an interviewer, “I just told a fart joke. Who cares what I think?” -
YOUR PREMIUM HAS BEEN REDUCED!!!!
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The problem is $60-80,000 isn’t an uncommon price for cars anymore. A minor fender bender repair now starts at $3,000. My car is 20 years old, but I still have to pay for all those new cars - and the lawsuits from those s**tbird ambulance chasers. “We get the big money for YOU!” -
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. And true…
