    Recommend a travel stop.

    We had relatives in Colorado and later lived there. We traveled all over the west, but it was mostly long ago. Later travel was more limited out there, but while summer is when most families with school age kids travel, the popular sites are so crowded in summer. Spring and especially fall are...

    Airforce 1 1958-1998

    I remember the movie that was dark and sobering.

    Airforce 1 1958-1998

    I recall that a number of airlines have had maintenance performed in SE Asia overseen by a few US A+P fellas with inspection authorization. Also, l flew a number of times on KC-135 A/C in about 1972-3. Those pre-fanjet planes had little spare power. I had occasion to chat with a boom operator on...

    How many baby boomers on here?

    I'm a retired boomer, but the post reads as a joke to me.

    Cranberry Banana Bread

    Not bad. My neighboring state of Wisconsin always has had extensive cranberry bogs and is probably yet the largest producer.

    Whats your favorite rifle?

    For me it's the Winchester 63 .22 auto that was my dad's first firearm in the 1930's.

    EV fire fighting tech ... interesting product

    It seems that until industry gets to some better way to deal with this, the cars need to be outside and some distance from anything.

    Who remembers Herter's From the Old days?

    In the 1960s I visited the Waseca store a few times. At that time they were the only store. I also liked Gopher and bought from them as well. Many/most of businesses from those days are now gone.

    Thoughts on tankless water heaters

    We decided to replace our 42 year old traditional water heater and considered tankless, but our utility that we use as insurance for a replacement program of failed appliances, wouldn't include tankless as they said too many failures.

    Lufthansa CEO working as a flight attendent

    I used to fly quite a bit-military and commercial-, but years ago-only once post 9-11 and I'm done now.. I fairly often would be bringing a cased long gun and no issues at the airports and as I handed it to the pilot or co and they would put it it their coat locker. Yes, it was a different time...

    For an engine flush would you choose Liqui Moly or Lubegard engine flushes?

    I did that with my dirty Falcon and future wife's Comet in the 60's-both done twice with no apparent harm done and it certainly did work with idling only for 10-15 minutes.

    Is there such a thing as an unreliable U.S. new car today?

    My wife has summer driven her 350Z to only 75k miles but the only problem was the crank sensor a few years ago. It was an easy R+R.
