Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things

I spent three years in the Army from 1995-98 and we never played Cribbage. Every other board game you can imagine and card games no one ever heard of but no Cribbage. Learned it after I got out though. It is a great game.

I have a 2007 GMC Envoy and Sarah has a 2000 Miata Special Edition.

She has had back troubles for the past couple of years, making it difficult and uncomfortable to drive the Miata.

So, I've been driving it to and from work. I'm 5' 11" and I tend to just fold/fall myself into the driver's seat and then climb out. People have stopped in the parking deck to comment on the sight.

However, the little car is a pleasure to drive. That four cylinder has some pep to it.

The car has a six speed manual transmission and sometimes, on the way home, I'll take some back-country roads so I can down shift and then power out of the curves and esses.

Great fun.

Last time I was at the Mazda dealership, they told me corporate was planning on putting the Wankel Rotary Engine in the Miata. That would be a great kick-up in HP.

It was definately a USMC Christmas.


The T-Shirt is a short sleeve replica of the long sleeve sweatshirt we wore for the first two weeks of boot camp. Hated the sweatshirt. Love the T-Shirt.

That's some tasty stufff right there Jerry! Been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long since I've had Four Roses!

Enjoy it!

They quit selling Four Roses in the States back sometime in the '50s and just reintroduced it domestically within the past few years. It's gooood stuff Scott. My four favorites are Four Roses yellow label, Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek and Bulleit, in that order.

Their web site says they have a distributer in Tampa.

junebug,
What kind of a place is that? Some of the pictures look like they are using the old equipment for a fence. Looks like all kinds of old farm equipment and even some older trucks that still have air in the tires. Love to see old equipment like that. There are probably lots of places around the country where we can see old stuff like that. I know of a couple within a few hours of us that really are used equipment dealers, but it is like going to a museum that is out in the open. Good stuff !

We are in a deep freeze today...and I'm thinking about warmers days and riding my motorcycle.

Lawrence -- You must be a younger fella. Most of us old codgers don't stick a bottle rocket between our legs and light it.

I can't comment on his character, but something about him must be upstanding.
