If the light at the end of the tunnel belongs, why not this. I find it interesting!

I beg to differ. Here in the South we have black widows and the infamous recluse. This guy hides in rags, cloth in the closet, and anywhere it is dark and are more dangerous than the widow in my opinion. You don’t feel the bite most of the time and by the time you notice it the flesh begins to...

I happened upon as I was rigging a fishing rod for my grandson. I thought these pretty round bobbers (floats, corks) should be good for something on the railroad. The next tine I was at Bass-Pro I picked up an assortment. The sizes I got are from left to right, 2 1/2”, 2”,1 1/2”, 1 1/4”...

Hi Gang! I bought a new Dremel 400 the other day and as I was unpacking it, being the packrat that I am, I tossed the plastic trays that the little tools were packed in on the workbench for deposit in the “Sometime Made” box later. When I got around to straitening up the bench just enough to...

And a few more.

Cred, we were there in October 2001. We made a drive around lake Superior. Then we rode the Wisconsin Central excursion back up into Canada, Beautiful trip in the fall. We also took in the Air Force Museum where I took about 200 pictures for a friend who models plains. Here is some of what I...

Well the Picture didn't work. I'll try again.

CRed, I have more of shots of the 229 if you need them.

Charles my farther was in the radiator repair business all his life. He also made his own flux. I think I remember hen putting alum and some other things in it. That being said you can buy a caustic or antiseptic stick at the drug store, which is made of alum and used for stopping the bleeding...
