    Remember when?

    I remember when the first electronic calculators came on the market. 8 digits, the size of a basketball, and a cost of $800.00. Some of the people refused to use them and stayed with the old Monroe...

    Dukw

    Great sites. It appears that one of the photos was an early version of a LARC. It was a much larger vehicle than the DUKW. I don't think it caught on as you could hear it running five miles...

    How true that is. The DUKW would only do 6 MPH in the water and was NOISY! I got to ride for free and perched on the back of the DUKW with a Speed Graphic taking photos of loading a DUKW from a...

    DUKW Pattern

    I began my military "career" as a DUKW driver. Thank God, that I didn't remain one too long as I became the post photographer. For those that aren't familiar with a DUKW, it was an amphibious truck...

    Proof reading

    I had to read the sign two or three times to find the error. It was a great job and don't feel alone by making a mistake. Try printing a pattern upside-down.

    Weather Station

    I shopped at the local Woodcraft store and could only find the expensive models. I ended up going to Klockit and found the items cheaper.

    Weather Station

    I cut out the ships wheel, but had second thoughts about finishing the project when I learned that the instrumentation would run over $50.00. I think I will shelve that project for the time being....

    Ike

    I take back every unkind word I said about Ike the past month (almost).

    I am happy to report that my unit was NOT damaged by the power surge caused by the limb falling on the power line. I did my first project since Ike paid his visit and it worked just fine.

    As far as Sears in concerned I would never...
