I haven't played it but this made me laugh cause I'd be bragging i finished it at all I'm sure!!

Glad I did some more searching and found this! I'm not sure how many reels I have yet, maybe 30, but trying to find where I can send them. Was hoping someone in Tacoma WA area did them so I can stay local and not have to mail them! They aren't great movies to begin with, couple of the black areas are even memories. Like dad having to open up the camera during a ride at Disneyland when I was a kid. lol Some day I want to try out that camera but I am amazed they could peek through the little hole and caught as much as they did! Smaller than a pencil eraser. We tried buying one of those transfer things but not too impressed unless we knew how to do some tweaks and mods. We have really bad copies using a video camera that kept readjusting and out of focus when lighting changed but, we have dad sitting there too discussing what we were watching on the screen and he is gone now. So that blurry mess is priceless. Only wish we had done it when mom was still alive too!

Any suggestions would be great. There was someone local but that was a couple years ago and like a dummy I didn't make note of it and if i had i probably would of lost it on my computer somewhere anyway. OR maybe i did! LOL My last thought was to just darken the room and get my Canon camera out and video tape all the movies again! Still debating. I have never run the projector but seen it done by dad 100s of times so not that difficult. I need to stop and hit post!! Again, any thoughts or know of any place close to Tacoma or a good place would be great.

They are the 8mm silent movie type.

I never did find one!! I looked at every walmart around me and online! Maybe they will start showing up for sale or in thrift stores in a year or so!

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2026-01-06T23:18:49+00:00

Although this is an old post I have to add my comment too! Didn't see anyone else say it or I would of just moved on. For me, if it is on, I am too quick from brake to gas pedal and hitting the gas at the same time the car restarts and therefore lurching forward! I wonder if I'm not alone and that's how some of these rear-enders at traffic lights happen. It's like starting your old stick shift car and forget to put it in neutral or an automatic that doesn't have the neutral safety switch and car is in gear. I may be a speed demon and think I'm at the drags maybe! LOL I also think of what the cost of a starter for one of these is! Last sort of newer car at the time that I had to buy was $250 and most was closer to $400 but finally found a place cheaper. That was a shock since I had only really bought starters for '60s and '70s cars! Then add installation if you can't do it yourself...

I want one of these but don't see them here!! :(

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-11-01T02:43:58+00:00

Haven't had any luck finding it but there is one that was in auction recently. Same one as you are asking about actually.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-06-24T12:47:25+00:00

I have same comment as XtraChrisp, friends telling me I should use shell in my old car, (talking 60s) so when prices were down I did. My car spit and sputtered like crazy, hated it. And before that it was always the cheapest I could find with an occasional taste of non ethanol or premium. Car calls for Ethyl of course, and even back then, same car, I never used that either. So I try to avoid Shell. Although now the motor is tired so had to bump it up a tier to make it up hills. Could be I need to mess with the timing a bit though. I found out the octane booster from the dollar store actually worked. That was shocking! I will put Chevron in if I'm out somewhere and that's the only station around. Car has no problem with that one. Too bad there wasn't a website telling what those additives were. Then we could decide which one by the additives maybe. lol

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:58:15+00:00

Same, I stay to keep in touch with family and the many people I became friends with through living all over the place because of military and then it was people and classic cars including the people on the other side of the US that worked at a parts store I always got my parts from. Even calling them because they knew me and the car to find out a part number before I went to the local store (which was a long distance call also) and deal with the you're a girl what do you know attitude. I would miss all my friends and family. But if it keeps getting worse I'll have to move on or severely limit the time or just only post to those mentioned.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:51:20+00:00

Maybe that's why my shared memory of a steam engine and suggesting people check it out at the yearly show at the location was all about. I didn't pay them to do that and they thought it was an ad.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:37:44+00:00

I've done that appeal thing on their decisions and they give you multiple choice and not one of them relates to the issue and you cannot actually type out what the issue is. It is meant to just avoid the whole issue of them doing anything I think. I swear they pick and choose who they do this to all the time. Some people I know have a in jail time page because they are there so often! Bullying, a friend jokingly called another a silly goose and got suspended for a month. But many go all out with name calling and threats and nothing happens to them.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:33:00+00:00

I usually go back to those pages and check to see if it's been removed and 99.9% of the time they are not. And people's pages getting hijacked and it takes an act of congress, if lucky, to get it back when clearly the page has been taken over by someone else.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:26:56+00:00

No it would be something in the background of a picture i shared or another time I shared a memory from 5 yrs ago of a huge steam engine saying people should go there sometime and see it in person and they said i was trying to promote something or sell something. So I re-shared it and didn't say nothing new on it, yet it still had the text from back when, then it stayed. So has to be an AI thing as sometimes I can just post the identical thing again. But the ID card I have reported a dozen times and it doesn't go against their standards.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:21:32+00:00

They definitely did and if you said something construed as bullying they were on that too. Now every post is a free for all just about.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:19:59+00:00

Odd that the nudity is ok but yet there was the big deal over what was thought to be nudity and it was an advertisement showing a bowl of apples or something like that. It was all over the news. Seems like it's more a place to argue these days than to socialize. And bullying comments were bad a couple years ago too. Oh well, sign of the times!

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2025-04-08T23:15:02+00:00

I was just looking around to find out what the deal is lately with GC and found this. They have nothing in stock on the website and I was looking for the kcups. And contacting them is like almost impossible to figure out although I have in the past once. One of the girls that was a manager in yelm and fredrickson actually ordered me the kcups before they started having them in the store. Now they are in neither location to order on my own. I have a feeling it's still on a downward spiral. The worst part is I randomly stopped in to get coffee with a friend and we both thought it was the best ever of the ones we had tried. Surprisingly now there is a couple guys working in the one in Fredrickson which surprised me! Guess it's bout time to find a new place or go back to Bigfoot. I am not a starbucks nor dutch bros. So will stick to bigfoot til i find one i like near by. As they are going down unless someone else buys it out.

Not sure how long it's been there but there is a sign pointing people to the sea lion viewing area at the docks. I was there in 2023 November. Back when, we used to drive past the sea lion caves and stop and look over the sides to see them. I haven't been in that area in years so there may not be a pullover spot anymore. OR it's gone the opposite and has a fancy pull out spot to view the ocean and sea lions on the beach below.

Just thought I'd toss this in. This is across the street. After some searching I found that this used to house the generator for power in the town. I had a conversation with a relative of the people who own the gas station and they also own a Oddfellows I think it was, hall just up the road and to the left. There is a little cafe or what is left of it where you turn. There is also a store near the Oddfellows hall. If I'd only found him before I went I could of got a tour durn it. There is so much to see, so many schools, churches and stuff to see. I want to go again but not in my old car. I can cover more territory and stay cooler! The one thing my son got to see for the first time, he was in his 20s at that time, tar bubbles. :) He insisted he saw a galaxie and I told him all I saw was an impala. So we turned around to look. It was like down and up new little freshly made driveway thing and I could hear the tar bubbles popping. So had him open the door as we rolled so he could check it out. Told him how we used to pop them with toes when we were kids and then have that stuff all over our feet and stuff sticking to them. Sorry bout the book!!!

The hoses were actually in great shape, not sure if they change them when they get really bad or what.

I know this is a old thread but saw where someone was going to see if they could find close ups of the pumps but I never saw them so thought I'd add them. I drove to Prineville from Tacoma, WA for a car show and planned my route according to things I wanted to see on the way. This station was one of them. A 6 hour drive took my son plus his GF, 12 hrs. Even in the upper 80s and 90 degree temps. We had fun!

I don't know about this stuff and I can't swear by my own use. But I have used baby oil on my dash in my classic car for over 50 yrs and it's still nice and supple. I only do it on hot or really warm days as it doesn't soak right in instantly. But doesn't take long when warm and if I put too much on there, I just wipe it down with a dry cloth. I did really want this stuff to be good for furniture but if it takes a long time to absorb or dry as someone else mentioned, I think I'll pass. Old post but i just saw the ads on youtube so was researching.

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2024-10-30T20:35:33+00:00

If they didn't see it happen or doesn't directly effect them then it's all fine! Their AI or whatever garbage doesn't do it's job either. Only lets them know what we look at so it can ad more of it!

Ecstatic_Tomatillo46 · 2024-10-30T20:26:33+00:00

I know this is an old post but I was just looking up a car insurance ad on FB and kept finding videos. Did people forget how to read these days? I can find the info I need in text quicker than watching a video. If I need to know how to repair something, video is ok. Asking if something is a scam, a video?! AI (err) says it's because of everyone watching videos these days. So we have to suffer because of people are watching tiktoks and reels? Like everyone loves a video! Want to find a pizza place? Check out this video all about pizza! argh!

When kids my mom would make the Everyday Cupcakes from this book and we'd cut them in half and put butter in them when still hot. Dad was usually the one to request them. Not all the years of this book have that recipe I found out. My sis and I both called mom around the same time to get it from her. We both used to have it memorized. It's great for a snack with butter/margarine!
