RE: My Garage
Wow nice garage. I showed my wife your garage she stood up and said and I quote" Hell Naw" and left out the room. At least I know another way to get her out the room now.

RE: My Garage
You have some really neat stuff in there. Seeing your car reminds me of some unique local residents. A brother and sister owned one of the farms down the road and they lived a lot like people did many years ago. Neither one of them ever married and they lived without electricity or phone up until they died. They owned a Model A Ford that was purchased new and she was the only person to ever drive that car. For her monthly trips to town, she drove out of their lane which was about a mile long and it went across a creek. They never had a bridge built so if the water was up, she had to wait until the water level came back down. She died a few years ago (after her brother) at the age of 98 ? and for many years, the local Ford dealership would offer them an even trade for any new vehicle of their choice. She turned them down until the day she died. The last time I saw the car, it had a little over 50,000 original miles on it and was never wrecked or re-painted. Her brother was pretty interesting too... He worked for the railroad and walked to work for over fifty years. His walk to work consisted of crossing the mountain behind their farm and then several miles beyond that on the other side. He walked over that mountain twice every day ! Can you imagine that ? You just don't meet people like those two any more 
Another thing...That huge baseball bat has my curiosity. Where did you find that and what was it made for ?

RE: My Garage
What a great story. I would have loved to spend some time talking to the brother and sister. I'm sure they would have had some tails to tell. I got the bat from my Grandfather abot 50 years ago. He worked at a place called Hercules Manufacturing in Evansville Indiana. They made buggies and wagons. The company had a picnic for all the workers, some of the men made the bat as an advertisment for the picnic. It had Hercules good fellows club and a date painted on the bat. Unfortunately I refinished the bat when I was a kid and removed the name and the date.
