I had something similar on a boat years ago. The actual rod holders slipped into them and the star shape let you change the angle depending how you placed them in. Not exactly the same as both the bases and the holders were plastic but the same idea.
The oldest boy had a Honda pickup with all the gizmos and gadgets. Went to move it in my driveway once and as soon as I put it in reverse it started playing a video of someone running over a lawnmower.
Back when I taught boating classes I made a point to never swim from a non anchored inflatable since the wind can take one a lot faster than a person can swim. I never thought to mention current figuring most people would think that would be unwise.
I am about 33 years your senior and recognize many of those designs. The one I don't see is the Johnson Silver Spoon that everybody would fish with the pork rind attached. I often think about some day fishing with some of them, If they were effective then are they still effective today. I...
I still have the first lure I ever bought. A South Bend Bass-Orena in Perch finish. Cost me $1.10 back then (circa 1952), a little over 13 bucks in today's money. I can still go in the room I keep sporting goods and remember when I bought most of the stuff and think of the good times I had...
I can remember around 1944-46 helping my Dad straighten nails he recovered from packing crates. During WWII you just didn't go to the hardware store and buy nails. Didn't mind straightening nails as much as I missed having sugar for my morning cereal back then.
My wife won't let me. She bought a new Nissan Sentra the year before and she says since her car is older it should be the first one replaced. It has less than 25,000 miles on it.
I spent the last 24 years driving at 29.25 miles per hour. My 2002 GMC 2500 Diesel I bought new almost 24 years ago just turned over 200,000 miles. My engine hours were 6832.7 for an average of 29.271005... MPH.
My grandfather and father both had a bunch of glass plate negatives which I still have. My previous father in law served 30 years in the Army and was also a photography nut. I had boxes of negatives from his Crown Graphic of which most were lost during a hurricane. I had saved several before...
Just the day before this thread started I found a tool I made 40 or so years ago in the barn. It was for an axle nut but I don't remember on what. I do remember drilling a half inch hole and squaring it up with a triangular file on the piece I welded on one end of the pipe for a 1/2 inch...
