Apparently both John and Don are living in 2008...........

I noticed those typos, but I was gentlemanly enough not to point them out. I knew what they meant to say.
I guess that makes me a better person than you. Roflmao.

Hope you remembered to have a snips handy when its time to go in the house!!! Ha.

Makes me wonder whatever happened to velcro on shoes? I had a pair like that (the IN thing at the time for casual shoes) about 1985. Not sure I have seen any since. The downside was you could not take them off quietly (if that was important, haha).

Oops! I fixed that. I am old but not ready to go yet.

Duck Tape is a brand name for duct tape. Google it. So I wasn't entirely wrong this time. <G>

I know that, but then it would have been Duck Tape, not "duck tape".

Say "Hello" to Doc Brown and Marty for me.

"Gentleman Jerry".........I like that!

My research shows that the date should be closer to 2022 as long socks with shorts were officially outlawed by the Fashion Police in early 2023.

Ok Gary. You win. I went back and corrected the spelling in the original post. Do you feel better now?

SAS shoes (San Antonio Shoemakers). I bought my second pair of velco fastener shoes last summer. First pair I bought 10 years or so ago won't wear out so that leaves me with two pairs.
SAS is all American made with all American materials. They advertise that they are the world's most comfortable shoes and I can't dispute that. Plan on paying around $150 for them.

Some swear by 'Z-Coil' footwear, especially if they have to stand all day.

...I think I'll wander out to the barn and crank up a couple of Studebakers & blast some hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.

...Don't worry, be happy.

I will admit that we sometimes get a little silly with our antics on the forums. Not all of us take everything so serious and despite efforts to make everything as unoffensive and "vanilla" as possible, everyone here can't always hide their individualism. One thing for sure, we share a bond regarding our cars, and often even our silly posting reveal how much fun we have. And, even when we sometimes have a little "dust-up" I can't hold any ill will or malice toward anyone who has a Land Cruiser or even a loveable old Rokne. One problem with Internet-based communication, is that, in the absence of a pre-approved "script," it is often difficult to not bump into someone's sensitivities (trigger points?).

It is unfortunate that some find it difficult to be happy unless someone else is miserable, but let's face it...life is not fair, has never been fair, nor never will be fair. The best antidote to all of it Jerry summed up very well.

On the subject of being happy...after about six months of Studebaker inactivity...yesterday I managed to fire up two Studebakers that had sat so long I had to kill wasp and spiders nesting in various places, buy one new battery, and jump-start another. (The jump start car will also require a new battery) So...for now, I am happy 'bout the engines firing up.

I thought about being unhappy...but due to my tendency to procrastinate,... I postponed that. OH...I thought about using wire ties on my shoes too...but too CASO for such expense.

Hmmmm. I'm looking for a time machine to get back to 1958. Besides getting in at the IPO on Microsoft, I'd pick up some cool cars and bikes, slather them with Cosmoline and store them away.

And some other things that I won't mention on a public forum.

PolyKen tape is now my tape of choice. Gave up duct / duck tape over 15 years ago and haven't regretted it. We go through at least a case (24) rolls per month.

Cosmoline certainly didn't help this '57 Plymouth, despite it being in a 'time machine': https://www.allpar.com/history/auto-...e-capsule.html
