Made it to the 50 year mark! Life is golden.

A 1979 Jeep CJ7. 360 V8, quadratrac transfercase. Beautiful weather with a break in the heat just after a thunderstorm. Jumped in the Jeep and hit just some simple existing dirt tracks. Tumble weeds (green) growing down the center. I didn't make it 100 yds down the chosen path. The Jeep slowly...

As I get older I find certain memories of my childhood resurfacing and becoming more frequent. It may sound strange, this next question, but how many here attended an actual one room schoolhouse? Complete with a wood burning stove for heat, a bell tower, and grades 1thru 12 in the same...

Praying for the missing as first responders are faced with a monumental task.

The wife and I celibrate our 49th wedding anniversary today!!

Sparklight Streaming. Every time I get up to do something, I return to a screen that asks if I'm still watching. This can't be a coincidence....

Circa 1974, Boca Raton, Fla. Just came across these and more or less reminising. Was in partnership with the 'ol man running a Deli. Two sisters visiting from New Mexico. Where'd 50 years go? Check out the duds....

3 major forest fires surround Ruidoso. The entire town told to evacuate. Prayers up. I've a few friends there. https://www.ruidoso-nm.gov/news-info/8w59hg429jxeg5z8

Where's the Vettes, Mustangs, GT40's? Anyone else find this coverage lacking?

Looking for a good mechanics glove that won't transfer metal particles to direct contact with the skin. Turns out I'm highly alergic to nickle silver. Can't wear a belt where the buckle comes into contact with my belly, as huge reactions occur, even with a shirt tuck. I've set my silversmithing...

3rd place in the Muscle Car class.

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.

I've just been informed that my sister is in the hospital in Montana. She's contracted COVID and is on a ventilator. Prognosis is not good. I ask for your prayers. Thank you Dave

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...

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...

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?

Circa 1972. North Dakota straight stretch freeway. It's 17 deg outside, a passenger in a '69 Mercury Marquis. 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...

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...

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...
