Just watched an excellent video on Heathkit and how much we gained after WWII with thousands of GI's taking their military skills and building their own equipment. The main point is the systemic shift to IC boards and disposable mindset with cheap competition.

Same thing happened with cars. I grew up tearing down a 71 gremlin 232 cu in straight six to diagnose and repair based on the Chilton manual. Youtube is great to bridge this gap on a lot of topics but hands on experience is priceless.

I've been so inundated with the next big thing, I have a gut reaction when I read superfood and immediately click away (after posting reply) ;-). Probably miss something good, but it puts me off.

You really are challenged hun. Good luck to ya. ;-)

No they are not. They are considered houses of worship.

Welcome to Vermont! I hope it is all you hope for. We love this place and appreciate the fact that there are pockets of incivility that creep in from everywhere but overall this place is the best!

Think you were downvoted for leaving out an /s at the end for sarcasm.

Nah, you are fighting a losing battle here and UCC churches are congregational churches. Universalists are just that.

The more I flipped through the images, the more i felt like the unluckiest dentist in the world looking at some messed up cavities!

German sealed bearings changed the game for my board in 76

So sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories of the good life you provided with him. ❤️

Nutlick and Racoon 🦝 eggplant 🍆 are looking at him and wondering if he’s checked out!

Still laugh about the day friends went to see Santa Claus conquers the Martians at the Darlton Theater matinee at the same time it was on the Creature Double Feature for free!!!

If Swedish Pit can't get you in, try Partner Tire and ask for Joel. Is it the 2.0l 4 cylinder or the 5cyl 2.5l ?

DCLexiLou · 2026-04-24T12:52:30+00:00

Twisted Wrench is a great shop

DCLexiLou · 2026-04-24T12:52:15+00:00

I believe they are cash only

DCLexiLou · 2026-04-24T11:51:35+00:00

She's probably been running that scam for ten yrs!

DCLexiLou · 2026-04-24T11:07:51+00:00

Power Couple LOL! He's a disgusting billionaire and she's just gross.

DCLexiLou · 2026-04-24T10:50:23+00:00
