Some more links To go to the links you'll need to copy and past into your browsers. Here is another website from another guy who sews http://www.briansews.com/ Check out his YouTube channel. He gives some very good tips. I've been sewing for years, but after watching his video on how to do a...

Hopefully got the right forum for this. For those of you that sew and perhaps have thought of trying to make a shirt one of the blogs I follow is starting a shirt sew along. I've listed the link below. You can back track a few days to get caught up. It won't be starting until February 1st and...

In Stockton You may want to give these folks a try. When my aunt lived in Stockton we did stop by their place. Seemed like nice people and the stoves looked great. http://www.buckeyeappliance.com/

A beautiful machine you found there! I love that early electric sound and the music from that time. Seeing your machine inspires me to get my grandparents 1929 Electrola restored. Right now I just have her tucked in a closet, but when I got it from my grandmother in 1968, it still played just...

I'm using a brand called Bright Green. It has a very light lavendar scent that doesn't really stay on the clothes very long. Mainly use the softener to cut down on the static electricity since it is so dry out here. I buy it at Vons, part of the Safeway chain. It may be one of their store type...

Thanks! That will be one of my "projects" around here, lining the closet in cedar, but have some other remodels to do first. I think I'll try a combination of the cedar and some of the other aromatics. One would think all the atomic testing would have killed off these fool things. Oddly my wool...

So anybody have any home/store type remedies regarding moths eating your clothes? I bought a new suit from Penny's last February. I kept it in the bag and then wore it just briefly once over the Summer, then back in the bag it went. Took it out last week and it was full of holes. Luckily I got...

Love the Ride Reminds me of my last BIG Cadillac, a 1974 Talisman. What I have found to work on the GM cars is Brasso to cut the oxidation. I'm not sure when they changed the paint, but I believe they used lacquer based paint. On my old cars I too tried every automotive product under the sun...

Todd, if you just want to give her a good home send her my way. Years ago I had a 66 Fleetwood Brougham that I had to sell due to rust. Was one of the best cars I ever had. I see a badge on the grill, is that from the 250K club or so? Just got an update that the Mercedes Club will be having...

Another Mercedes 1997 C280, about 146K on her right now. Bought it from the original owner 2 years ago on New Years Eve. I have done some minor things to it, replaced a couple of sensors, battery and alternator. She's my daily driver. I keep looking at newer models, like an SL or perhaps an E...

Looks just like my old Ironrite. Under the wood hood, the rest of the machine is painted metal in a spatter tone finish. Clothing and such would not be touching any of the wood. The legs are wooden as well.

Imperial I can't speak for the early Imperials, but over the course of the years, I've had a 1965 DeVille convertible, a 1965 Lincoln sedan and a 1965 Imperial Crown 4 door hardtop. By then the Imperial had a regular column shift. It was the best handling of the three, but had a very harsh...

Works Great I have the Haan steamer as well. The one on wheels with the all the little accessesory things for it. I used only distilled water in it. Our regular water here is too hard. I used it to clean out the oven before running the self clean cycle. It blasted out all the burned on grease...

Are you able to check the content of the material? Years ago, my sister, as a newlywed, washed her fiberglass curtains in their washer. Then she washed their regular clothes. She and her husband had to toss out the clothes because the fiberglass left glass fibers in their clothes. They were...

I must move mine to a safe! My mother found my 3-C at a garage sale in Missouri when we lived there in the late 1980s. She paid $4.00 for it. They were originally asking $8.00 and my mother always would try to bargain. It's still going strong.

Knock on Wood The current GE fridge here, model TFH24PR, is a side by side and it appears to be from 1994. Have lived here about 10 years and so far just had a couple of ice maker issues that were fixed. Not fond of the ice maker as it will occasionally jam. But so far so good. We're also in...

Everything old is new again If any of you want model kits of the twenty mule team of your own, it appears you can buy them again through the link below. As I mentioned my mom got this kits. Either she or my older brother put them together and they resided on high shelves in my bedroom. It...

While cruising around some of my other favorite websites, this was his picture of the week. I thought it was timely and just had to post it. http://www.charlesphoenix.com/2010/09/toilet-paper-princess-somewhere-usa-1959/

And there is a museum there. Kinda crummy photo from a fast car and a cheap camera phone. Sign for the Boron Museum and Twenty Mule Team. Did anybody else have the little model of the Twenty Mule Team? My mom used Borax in her washing brew and used to send away for little model kits of the...

From time to time there has been discussions on Borax on the boards here. A couple of weeks ago had to make a quick trip to the San Francisco area. While driving back I took a quick shot of this and almost missed the sign. It's on the turn off near Boron California.
