Galaxie 500 One of my older sisters bought a new 1964 Galaxie 500 sedan. Pale yellow, gold cloth/vinyl interior, the factory but underdash SelectAir A/C and Tilt-away steering wheel. It also had the Thunderbird 390 4 barrel engine. It was her first car also with power steering and power brakes...

Siriously Sinatra That would be on my XM 73. And yes, you get LOTS of Sinatra. It's on my Pioneer INNO. The receiver is small, records songs from the radio, though you can't download or copy them to other media. Suppose there could be a workaround for that though. It plugs into my car and there...

Vacuum Systems Still Used Ralph, was surprised when I bought a 1997 Mercedes C280 about a year ago. Vacuum door locks and trunk release. Though they are run off of a electric/vacuum pump. According to my mechanic, Mercedes still uses the vacuum system in their new cars. It does give a nice...

Those are some great vids and music! I love the lounge sound! I have never heard Volcano, but that is now a new favorite. So here's a bit of Samba, animation and Ethel Smith. Heaven knows what they were smoking or drinking when they did the animation for this one!

Let Julia show you the way to gas cooking Saw this video and thought of Toggles. Here are a series of videos from Julia Meade regarding gas cooking as well as other gas appliances. Currently I have an electric GE glass top at home, however I'm playing "caregiver" at house with gas. Last night...

It Started With a Kiss Right about the 5 minute mark you can see the Futura. Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford, fun little movie. If you like the movie, you can follow the rest of in on Youtube. And as they cruise the Italian countryside they run into Ava Gabor. Anybody recall the episode of Green...

This may help My last car that had vacuum wipers was a 1960 Lincoln Continental. There was a vacuum line that went into a large can. Picture a large vegetable juice can. Another line from the can then branched out to the various vacuum feeds, like door locks and A/C controls. I suspect the can...

Here you go Pete Meet Sookie. Yes, we're followers of True Blood. We hand fed her and she rules the roost. Both Billy the Doberman and Buddy the Boxer are scared to death of her and leave her alone when she's out of her cage. The Boxer will go and sniff at her and she'll take a nip at his nose...

Still trying to figure out all the games. Did get the lawnmower racing and I am not coordinated enough yet on the controller to steer the lawnmower around the course. The same with furniture racing. But with the ironing, I'm doing pretty good. You actually move the controller as if you were...

Bag Boys We had Fedmart in Phoenix. Was originally a membership club for government workers. My older sister had a government clearance for doing production typing on various manuals, so she was able to get in. Now about bag boys. Growing up we had a wonderful Safeway with one of those huge...

Has anybody else played this? At 54 I got a Wii from the dogs for Christmas. My first video game. I must say I really like the thing and enjoy the part where you have to get up and move, like the bowling and tennis. I really hate exercise, but this thing may just be the ticket to start. So...

Wonderful Video I like that type of music. And it's nice to see the movie going along with it. The poster of the video also has some other interesting ones as well.

I think I was one of the ones that recommended the Rowenta steam generator when that discussion came up awhile back. And I did post a thread when I bought mine. I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years now and it is still steaming strong. Sorry to hear that yours did not do so well. And I agree...

KODAK Zi8 Pocket Video Camera Is this the camera you have seen? One of these just came into the family here and for the price, about $180.00, though Kodak is doing some discounting, it's not bad. Hooked up to one of the hi-def TVs the picture quality is pretty. It does a reasonable job with...

Was watching this weeks "Dirty Jobs" and Mike goes to a business where they use dirt to dye the shirts. The show repeats so if you like the clip, catch the whole episode. They did have a little more on the machines. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/dirty-jobs-the-anti-clean.html

She turned 141K On the road trip to Disneyworld, got about 30-32 mpg most of the way. 1997 Mercedes C280. She does sip premium and finally on the return trip, outrunning Hurricane Ida, added about 1/2 quart of oil in Texas. Oh and Jason, was interesting driving I-10 through a swamp in Louisiana!

Doing the A/P thing Thanks guys for the kind thoughts. A few years ago I was encouraged to go into accounting. So I went back to school and surprise, I actually understood it! I'm still continuing at a local collage and who knows may end up with a degree yet. As far as future employment...

As I've mentioned before, the bank I worked at was taken over by the FDIC in August this year. Unlike a lot of other institutions, there was nobody to take us over. Good news is I'm still working, paying the bills for the receivership. Thought I'd throw this out there if anybody is looking for...

Oink Oink For Disneyworld's Not So Scary Halloween Party. A pair of swine flu doctors. I'm going to be Dr. Bacon. A little fun with the embroidery machine and a couple of scrubs.

I have used Audacity as an audio editor and doing some conversions. While fooling around though with Windows Media Player, it appears that once you Rip a song to your library, you can then convert it to an MP3. You may see if that format works with your iPod.
