    Dealing With Aging Parents

    Do you have Power of Attorney? Are you named her Executor? I ask because you need this done before it becomes necessary.

    School me on Pipe Cleaners

    Regular BJ Longs do a good job on my (bent) Peterson Standard Systems. After pulling it through the mouthpiece I double cleaner end to swab out the Standard System "Well"

    School me on Pipe Cleaners

    What Happened To Lima Beans?

    All About Indian Food Home Edition

    My only experience with Indian food was in Calcutta back in 1988 and it wasn't good. Russian Salad (a concoction of green peas floating in mayonnaise) and for breakfast, corn flakes served in warm milk.

    Surf Casting

    My rod is leaning against the corner about 4' from where I'm sitting. An old Sabre Classic with a Penn #49 reel.

    Grandma's Car "Hercules"

    There is something about getting an old car to run after it's languished for 40 years. Hearing the engine catch and spring to life is kind of special.
