    What is a Good Way to Attach a Pull Line to a Trailer Hitch on a Pickup Truck?

    Slow and steady and getting the tree where you want it to be before releasing it. When pulling with a rope attached to my Tirfor cable hook, about as simple as it gets I use two wraps around the hook and then secure with a slip knot or two. Nothing official about it but it has always worked...

    Les could be hard on some of his guests. Some stupid stuff he said sometimes.

    X-ray macines in shoe stores to check the fit of kid's shoes. You stood on a little platform beneath a wooden box like affair and the shoe salesman or parents could look through some window things on the top of the machine. It must have been bad for kids, but the salesmen could only have...

    Got to think that Mayweather will be motivated too, to go to fifty and 0.

    I guess people will pay money to see anything. It seems like a dumb fight. Mayweather not in his prime, but too many skills against someone not a pure boxer. If McGregor should happen to get lucky, maybe Manny will want him...

    In The News...

    No doubt a macabre idea, but I've been thinking for years that some killings of our elected officials might be a good way to get the government back into trim. Maybe start off with the prime minister. I guess this kid had similar thoughts.

    Coming home everyday from grammar school for lunch, then going back. Do they let kids do that now? I guess that moms were pretty much home then.

    Another memory from the gas station... One evening one of my co-workers rolled a tire across the busy four lane boulevard and right through the open door of Babe's Bar, directly on the other side of the street. A perfect shot, it was kind of a biker's bar. Nobody came out of the bar, but a...

    :thumbup: A friend of mine's girlfriend was a telephone information operator. I'd be over at his house and he'd keep calling info until he got her, by recognizing her voice, then he'd give her a hard time. I don't think you could call and simply ask for her.

    Sean, I remember those oil can spouts. We used those at a gas station that I worked at, sop. I also remember gas stations having a lot of give aways of one sort or another. Usually checked under the hood too, unless the customer said not to. Sold a fair amount of oil that way. You got...

    The drink at Indian restaurants, good and it's pretty sweet. I thought Jim was talking about a spiritual tea to help catch fish.

    A drug store with a lunch counter. They brought you your milkshake in one of those big metal cup things that they stuck in the mixer, poured your shake and sat the container down next to it because it was still about a third to half full.

    Ha, I remember candy cigarettes. I'd forgotten! They kind of had a chalky taste at first.

    Remembrances from days of youth

    Anybody remember when soft drink bottles came in machines where you lifted up the lid and the drinks where immersed up to their necks in cold water in a rack? Putting in your money opened up a lock and you could slide the bottle out of the rack and lift it from the water. Who knows what was in...
