  1. Arthur Schlessinger's book "Robert Kennedy and his Times" is still excellent. Written about ten years after his death
  2. Gotta love $795 for VIN etching....
  3. A lot of debate around whether he would have even been the Democratic candidate. His win in California was critical but McCarthy had a lot of support and probably a lot better organization than RFK. Plus the Democratic party was headed by LBJ who greatly disliked RFK. His power was evident by the party choosing Humphrey over Mccarthy. RFK versus Nixon would have been very interesting
  4. Still rocking my HP41 - one at home and one at work. Have 11 is a desk drawer
  5. No kidding. A few years ago I was "plinking" with a friends .357 with .38's. He reloaded it for me and slipped one .357 in just for fun. Darn near put the hammer in my forehead from the unexpected recoil.
  6. Auburn played FSU almost every year in the 80;s and those were some of the best games I ever went to. The 85 game is still in my top 5. each coach tried to top the other one. If FSU ran an end around then Auburn did the same the next series. Final score was something in the 50's. I remember thinking we had an off year in 88 since they weren't on the schedule for some reason and we got them in Sugar Bowl instead. The entire legacy of FSU started with him. RIP coach.
  7. and never mind. Thought he said carpet not carpeted mats.
  8. Make sure they include preformed portions for things like transmission humps etc. Otherwise you might as well get a roll of carpet and DYI, I did one in the 90's on a Izuzu Trooper and it wasn't too difficult.
  9. Username is pretty darn correct.
  10. I miss the SEC Thursday night game. A lot of times it was not the lower tier teams. It was fun to be the only game in town and freed up the weekend. Also you could start drinking on Thursday night
  11. Which is fine unless you are already in a dive that needs stops when the computer quits. I don't mean to only rely on charts but for two bucks they fit iocely in the BC
  12. Absolute plus on getting the reg. The only time I ran out of air was on a "brand new from factory" reg that the NASA scuba club bought. This was in 70's when a pressure guage was a luxury. Got one breath - guessing it was set to 30 psi and not 300. Luckily I had been taught very well (see earlier in thread for what we had to pass). Did a quick look at Dad and he was 20 feet away so I elected to do a free ascent from about 50 feet. I still only have had 3 regulators and once deosn;t count (see picture of double hose). My 30 year old US Divers Conshelf is just fine as long as I can get parts As far as computers go - not trying to sound like the "old diver yells at cloud" but I dove for almost 20 years without one. I like them but I also carry the dive tables just in case. Get a decent entry model unless you plan to do a lot of exotic diving - 150 ft, mixed gas etc.
  13. No clue what happened to my reply but trying again. I would at least try to get to Grand National at Auburn (on RTJ trail). I did not like RTJ in Bham but that was years ago. A lot of green were blind approaches and I felt that if I pay a premium to play a course I should see the green/pin. Grand national has always been one of my favorites.
  14. Played there once at a customer event in August. Absolutely brutal. I called it playing in a frying pan. The holes that are below ground get zero wind and way over 100 degrees. In a scramble we hoped the first hitter put it in the fairway so we could skip 2-4 even trying a drive tp speed up the round
  15. More bumper fun - part 2. Front was more complicated since it was three parts Again the job is to assemble all of this Using these Finished product
  16. And bumper fun on the 1962 MGA continues. I felt like the engineers in Apollo 13 movie We have to make all this Fit together - using nothing but that There's a reason old cars were in limited numbers. That rear bumper probably takes at least 15 minutes to build for each car. Took me several hours. First I learned that two of my overriders were not original. They were very good repos from the 60's but they did not have the nut welded in. Luckily Huntsville has an old fashioned hardware store down the street and they had the clip nuts A a few more false starts and the parts were assembled Next step = the front bumper which is three separate parts
  17. Nice to have a youngster to get into spaces you have no chance of. Also limits your ability to cuss at parts that won't behave
  18. Going to say - get another quote. Had my back yard scrapped and 2/3 zoysia and 1/3 xeriscape in 2013 for more than half that.
  19. Not hybrid but I once grabbed a Callaway nine wood from pre pwned cause it was only about 20 bucks. Already had 1-3-5-7 woods but never liked the nine
  20. How long until someone requests their username be changed to Divine Special Appearance?
  21. don't kid too much about F150's. I read an earlier article stating that transportation is a education expense. Someone is going to build a dorm about a mile off campus and provide F150's or Chargers etc.
  22. Well you can visit Christ of the Abyss. Easy dive to say the least.
  23. Make sure no fuel or brake lines nearby. Sliced right thru a brake line once cutting out the floor cause I didn't look first
  24. Night diving is fantastic but maybe a little advanced for a first timer. Also is there any valid reason for the snorkle on the right side? I was always taught it can get hung up with regulator hose if you find a way to drop the regulator from your mouth.
  25. We might be cousins of some sort since Carter was my Dad's 6th or 7th cousin also
