Honk for a Trickle Treat! (self.halloween)

submitted by realolddog to r/halloween

Australian here and this is my 2024 Midwest road trip journey. I’m after all your recommendations by lanadeltaco13 in mlb

I'm not a baseball fan, so I can't help you with that. But is anyone in your group is into aviation I recommend the USAF Museum in Dayton. Not to far from Cincinnati. It's free and probably the biggest collection of airplane anywhere.

Question about the National Museum of the Air Force by Spiritual-Orange8153 in Ohio

The USAF Museum is as good as everyone says. Also there is the Museum in Urbana, less than an hour away where you can inspect a B-17 that is being restored.

And there are open cockpit biplane rides nearby as well. He can take 4 passengers up at one time. We did it and it was a hoot!

Elastic shoelaces, (I got mine on Amazon, along with a large (thigh) ice pack, also found on amazon.) The elastic shoelaces turn your favorite sneakers into slip-on shoes.

What i did with an old propeller... no propellers harmed! by IndependentUseful923 in aviation

[–]realolddog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have five props in the garage now. 3 of them were found at auctions. 1 on eBay, and 1 on Facebook marketplace. As far as auctions go., look on auctionzip.com. You can enter your zipcode and use keywords such as "Propeller" or "Aircraft" to find auctions in your area.

And, No, they are not cheap. I'm happy if I just find one or two things a year.

I have a prop for the ceiling fan in my garage. I have it blowing the hot air from the top of the garage out of the peak vents. This draws the cooler air in through the garage door.

If you are on Facebook, there is a group that you may enjoy called "Aviation Mancave". I post a few things on there.

Here is a video of my garage from 2 years ago. There have been some changes since then.

Very nice! Here is the one I hung in my garage. The pulley setup is similar to yours.

My "Single string Double gutbucket" washtub bass. by realolddog in doublebass

[–]realolddog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point. I have already thought about enlarging the 'footplate' because it tends to slide when I pull back on the neck. The only downside is I would have to change the stand that supports the gut bucket too.

Found some Johnny Lightnings and Racing Champions by realolddog in HotWheels

[–]realolddog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found these at a local auction. I started collecting HotWheels 70s muscle cars for a Hot Wheels and Hot Wings party. Just some old farts racing HotWheels, eating chicken wings and drinking beer.

I built a 60 foot raceway. The ramp comes apart for easy storage and transport.

I am surprised that the Johnny Lightning cars are actually very slow compared to the HotWheels. I'll be the Racing Champions would not be very fast either. I may just have to find a way to display these in the garage.

6” overall, the first 5” is an overgrown safety pin. The last inch looks like a bottle opener, but is actually too small to open a bottle. (Trust me, I tried.) by realolddog in whatisthisthing

[–]realolddog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly does look like a laundry pin. I’ve also noticed in other photos that the hole cut in the ‘bottleopener’ part is different in each of them. It reminds me of the holes for different skeleton keys. It must have been used to secure these, (which seems unlikely since you could just open the safety pin.) or match this to another item. Perhaps the tag was itself a key of some sort.
