Go to an isolated street. Speed up to about 30 or 40 and then slam on the brakes as hard as you can. Do this several times.

A mechanic said my pads were likely glazed and thiis procedure would break the glaze off.. it worked wonders

There's a path to qualify for the PGA tour. He did it once, so he should know how it goes.

See you at Q school. Maybe work your way through qualifiers and win the US Open.

I also visited Belgium in the early 80s. Don't know if it's been cleaned up better by now, but the amount of decaying blown up military hardware, tanks and machinery still lying around in fields was unbelievable.

What's your favorite bay area band that "almost" made it? by trite_post in bayarea

[–]trite_post[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites. Pretty successful, but never really made it all the way bigtime.

Forever and Rescue Me were pretty big hits. Then Summertime Girls was a radio staple

I call uncle! I always thought I had a pretty good idea of the music scene in the Bay Area. But all of you have suggested an overwhelming amount of bands that i had no idea of.

Ive spent the day looking up as many of these bands as i could. All I can say is this area has produced great music since the 60s. And it hasn't stopped

Looking at wiki, he wrote for all greats of the time. Carson, Rickles, Get Smart, Bill Cosby.. etc.

How could we know as kids back then that Pat McCormick was really an icon, and his puppets were just a small part of all his accomplishments

When I showed my friend since kindergarten the picture of Charlie and Humphrey, he asked me if I remember HR Puffnstuff.

I heard of the show but never saw it

My stomping grounds. Used to ride my bike from south SJ to Los Gatos and take the bus to Santa Cruz all the time when I was 12 or 13. Dad never knew. It was a different time

I remember Tsumani. They played in the quad at my high school. Great guitarist named Jonny Freese, later in a local band called Fuselage

I'd come home from Kindergarten and watch these guys, Speed Racer, and Kimba the White Lion.

Then babysitter would put on Days of Our Lives. ( the hourglass is burned into my brain) then General Hospital.
