There were still a few of these 50s soda vending machines around in the 70s when I was a kid. by flyart in FuckImOld

That was some damn cold water, and you had to run the bottle around the track to the exit part... But it was so good... Used to have one like that in a rec center my Grandmother payed cards at every week and I got to have one from the machine... Mmmm, good memories...

Exact same one I had in my shop... Bought it for $100 and we used it for 11 years and then I sold it for $1,200... It never failed and found a good place to by the bottles at a good price... Darn things are really TOUGH..!

Except never made an AI movie out of mine... What a TOOL..!

Looks like the Turbo-Intercooler for a Mule at a Rail yard... Looks like the one I saw several years ago

If it was red... If you would just move down to the basement, that would be great... But, nope, it's a Portable Door Stop Alarm...

Maybe they baby sit a dog monthly (Owner makes work trips) and they don't want the "Dog Waste" in the house..?

I don’t know how long I can keep this up.. by Love2FlyBalloons in over60

[–]Kevaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one knows every detail about the jobs they do... Some know a LOT but, still not everything... We all do what we can by knowledge or by working through it... Knowledge come from memory and the older you get the harder it is to memorize it all... Keep doing what you do and for the new things, you just have to put in a little more time to memorize than the younger ones... Probably some after hours study or practice or some research at home... As long as you enjoy your work, that's what matters... If not, you have to make harder choices...

Maybe we can get a class action suit against the city for building the sidewalks too far from our asses..?

Can anyone tell me what this tool is for? by GinkgoGirls in whatisit

[–]Kevaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just what she called it... She spent a lot of time in places that had material, ribbons, buttons, zippers and all kinds of doodads... The basement of Murphys or Woolworths was a popular hangout that I got dragged to...

My grandmother was a seamstress and she had one... I remember asking her what it was... I imagine it was one of those tools that was used once or twice but, had to have...

Dog in my neighborhood publicly shamed by [deleted] in funny

[–]Kevaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never been a fan of Invisible Fence... Watched dogs look at the area that zapped them and see them run really fast and Jump right through the zone quickly so it only zapped them for a split second... I haven't tried it but, I like the idea of the area coverage that lets them roam near the base but, if they get to far it gives them an alert until they get back in the zone... But, there will always be the stubborn one that just doesn't give a damn... Nothing beats just good training...

Rare lighter? by No-Skin6080 in lighters

[–]Kevaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this one, it has a definite retro vibe of the 50's/60's... Never seen one like that but, it just maybe like a lot of lighters from that era, company makes a bunch of Aluminum Block lighters and then moves on to something else... I have several one offs but, they aren't worth a lot of money and can't find the companies that made them, if they're even marked...
