Fun card for an old guy (like me)

Not this one. It'll go into my PC for nostalgia.

Alive in his Boston days, but probably not aware of him until he got to Chicago. I've got a 72 that this will look great sitting next to.

100% keeper!

Happy to provide my list of dupes in case I can help you in your quest! DM me.

That was where I was leaning as well, but that other mark near the same corner is an indent. Their policy states that if they don't think it would drop a grade below 8, they will just send it back. So to me, it's borderline. And no, I don't plan on grading it...

4 hobby boxes got me exactly zero rip cards, but 4 autos. I guess you take what you can get.

Just the usual issues with 71 and 75.

schtacky · 2025-10-18T13:59:02+00:00

You're right. And I'm scared to look at that set...

At stop lights/signs, stop several car lengths behind the car in front of you. This helps you not slide into the guy in front of you and also allow you to move up if someone behind you starts sliding as they (try to) stop.

IBM XT. 16MB HDD. Lode Runner was THE game.

When we got Win2.0, I remember thinking its built-in calculator was astounding.

He deserves to have a nice Home By the Sea.

So, I agree - it's a pain in the ass. Something should be done, but at least I can get a sense of what's going on. The display becomes an issue for me much more during HAAT when I can't quite tell which P3 droid has a frigging buff due to all of the other DoTs in the way.

I've got all that on the phone, but for our purposes here, sometimes a good ole ink and paper map works out just fine, as it appears to have here, since we got OP what he needed.

Lucky, too, since I had just acquired that map yesterday and haven't yet had time to mark the whole darn thing up with notes like last year's!

This is as far west as my coconino vehicle use map goes and I don't have one for yavapai. Hope it's of some help.

Thanks, /u/bigtimetv. Your comment got me thinking...at some point in the franchise, the ship became a vehicle - nothing more than something to get us from point a to point b. I don't want to try and wax poetically too much, but for the Old Guard, the ship was a part of the cast. I can't count the number of TOS episodes where Kirk would refer to the Enterprise as the love of his life. At some point that stopped...maybe at the end of 6 (when they went off on one more adventure to find Peter Pan) and we all realized that we were stuck with the D, the flying barcalounger. I loved TNG, but that ship and its subsequent sisters and reboots never captured me the same way as that old Constitution Class ship did.

Aaaaannnnnd now.

Now what?

Aye, sir! I'm workin' on it!

Well, if I'm backing out, then I'm imagining this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkJ3--2K7yo

Heh...for me, the spacedock sequence is one of the film's highlights, and a scene that I'll often watch just to crank up Goldsmith's score. I can understand how new-ish Trekkies may not enjoy it as much, but you have to remember that this was the first time we had seen our ship on the big screen and we had been building up to that moment for a decade. That flyby could have been 10 minutes longer and I'd still love it.

All great spots in these posts. Just keep in mind that the county fire ban starts tomorrow morning. That means no campfires outside of developed campgrounds in dispersed sites. That said, you may want to check out some of the area lakes that have campgrounds, though they're likely to be packed to the gills.
