List Your Other Hobbies / Interests
Yeah,....no stache,.....but it's cool. More like a "late-life-crisis" Lawrence! :mrgreen: Uncle Arthur, I've got a '69 Chevy shortbed stepside I could restore...but I think I'm gonna dig around for a '32 Ford coupe or something....maybe a "T".- collin

List Your Other Hobbies / Interests
I gotta bad feeling I've made an awful mistake here. About ten years ago I got burned out on building cars. A few weeks ago I was sittin' around bored and while flippin thru the channels I found an HD Theater special about Hot Rods...aka Rat Rods. BIG MISTAKE!! Got the old Rockabilly CDs out...- collin

How Many Guitarists Do We Have Here?
Been playing since 1971,.....but a "guitarist"? Negative. Althought I have had the pleasure of knowing one or two over the years. Guys who could do fills in any key...in any genre while just sittin' around the backyard drinking beer. Amazing stuff.- collin

Freemasons and Other Fraternities
Thirty second is the last one,....there's a 33rd, but it's a gift given for service. And there is nothing that goes on in the lodge or anywhere else that hasn't been shared with the world. The secrets are all a tongue in cheek sorta thing. Fine organizations,....but just not for everyone.- collin

Anybody Fly R/C Planes or Helicopters
Back then just hovering was like balancing a soft ball on top of a basketball. I think my last chopper was a "Cricket" if my memory serves me correctly. It's somewhere in the middle of the giant landfill in south Oklahoma City now. Along with a few planes and a golf club or two.- collin

Anybody Fly R/C Planes or Helicopters
I flew 'em for years. Good time in my life, some the best friends I ever had I met while active in that hobby. Back then you flew helicopters by the seat of your pants! Oh the money I spent! :crying:- collin

How Many Times
Probably two. I tried when I was in my 20's but thought I looked like an idiot, and I was probably right. Same problem in my 30's. Now I'm old enough to look like I deserve to smoke a pipe. :D- collin

Pipe Smoking Craze?

The effects of oxidation
Vulcanite or Ebonite, (or car tires for that matter), are made of vulcanized rubber, which is...oversimplified, a combination of rubber and sulphur. Over time the relatively weak chemical bond holding the two together weakens, resulting in the loss of sulphur. Sulphur is yellow......hence the... -

Mad Men
Well, Jaybird,...."smoking" "non-smoking" sections weren't an option. I remember as youngsters none of us even noticed the smoke and certainly never complained about it. Kinda like central air-conditioning. Most of us couldn't imagine suffering through a hot steamy summer night without one...- collin

Mad Men
Mad Men's one of my favorite dramas. I've got all back episodes on DVD and can't wait for the next season. Contract disputes kept it off the air for a year, but it'll be back.- collin
