    Chefs corner

    Just a general consensus. I'm Interested in sharing any type of cuisine be it from your neck of the woods. Menu of the day type of thing. Would this warrant a sticky on fbbo? I love to cook, and I'm sure others would like to contribute their favorites.

    To tint, or not to tint, that is the question

    This ol' gal does not have A/C, but a 440 w/ headers ahead of the firewall and pipes outboard the frame under the running boards. Here in NM it's not uncommon for hot, dry, dusty days in the summer. Tossing around the overall asthecics as to how she would look with the windows tinted.

    Then Came Bronson

    The way back machine. Who here remembers the series "Then came Bronson" with Michael Parks? As a teen, I never missed an episode. Harley, open road, freedom. Though a somewhat soft demeanor. There was just something about this series that played to a young man's heart.

    Old Friends

    Ain't nothin' better than an old friend. Someone you've worked with, hunted with, shared a common interest with. The older I get, the more I grow to appreciate the value. I find myself frequently texting/emailing those whom have carved out a claimed space in in my memories. Sounds kind of sappy...

    Close calls, or devine intervention?

    I love exploration of off road trails and seldom traveled routes. I've been a Jeep nut for most of my adult life. A planned romp to nearby Albuquerque in the Jemez. My son and I set out that morning with a full tank and a sense of adventure one can only experience in an open top CJ-7. Reaching...

    Fat Fenders

    Thought it might be interesting to delve into pre-war body styles. The fat fender era of Americana. Some are icons. Is there anything that can compare to the front profile of a Dodge or Plymouth?

My dad in a '64 Falcon 260, (hopped up with a 3/4 cam), 2:30 am, haulin' *** just ahead. The Mercury had plenty left in that 429. One driver trying to roll a joint, the other, well on...

    The age old question. Is it a Hotrod or s Streetrod? What makes them so?

    Get ready for many varied opinions. For me, it's more of a time period, when as a kid in the late sixties/early seventies, any car modified was called a Hotrod. By todays' definition, Hotrod has morphed into the Streetrod relm. What is the dividing line (or is there one)? With my old truck...

    That"s my son asleep on the couch

    Through all I've been thru in my 68 years on this planet¿ I can't imagine what my son experienced in his three tour deployment to the sandbox. He lies next to me on the couch, crashed out, a rare occurance,, as he holds tightly to those experiences. I know past events drive current ideology...

    An Out Of Mind Demographic

    A trip to the grocery store today for those last minute items for that long traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Lots of family and friends invited. My son and I decide on taking Dottie for the run. Kind of ironic as she's got zero space in the bed for hauling anything. I'm in awe as there were five...

    What's in a name ?

    A few days ago I reached a milestone in the completion of pretty much a life-long love of building something not many would pursue. When it came time to announce the accomplishment, I was confronted by @moparedtn who so graciously offered to post a couple videos for me as to what name should...

    Never Pass A Chance

    Stressed out about finding a new doc to renew some BP prescriptions, and some desperately needed surgery on my foot, I spent the majority of the day searching for a PCP who accepts Medicare as primary insurance. BP was 175/94. On the verge of strokin' out. As a walk in, finding care on the...

    Is It Just Me?

    One of the things I've noticed while proudly being a member on this site. Some temd to jump in the middle of a posted thread to berate those that are only trying to help a fellow member solve a particular problem. I almost wish that darned disagree button would disappear. Dang near all here rely...

    Just a pipe dream?

    There ought to be way of an adult discussion of political winds without emotions involved. No profanity, no personal hatred, I fully understand the sites' willingness to avoid this subjective topic altogether. But what the elites are trying to implement directly affects our sole reason for...
