At John Deere you'd better never be caught not wearing steel toed shoes AND metacarpal guards, or else 30 days off no pay next offense is out the door brudder:) They took that very seriously. When I worked and lived in Germany for JD at the Werke Zweibrucken (Harvester plant) in Combine...

That is very good news AND thank you Paul and Tina for what you do. You can't judge the health of the hobby by club membership numbers today because the world has shifted due to social media. Go over there and you WILL find the interest is strong:) In the early 70's there were 9-10 Model A...

The other day I was driving thru a local neighborhood, and I actually saw a group of kids playing baseball in the back yard of one of the houses and they were having a blast! None of those stupid phones in sight. I about ran off the road in shock:p Loved seeing that!!

That is interesting as all get-out! Neat to watch. Coming from a History major! I've been in NE France and explored those sites many of the trenches are still visible. WWI was horrendous. I can't imagine the suffering that went on. Yes it is true.. the politicians create this mess and they...

ronn is right about FB Marketplace:p I'm not on FB or any of that a brother-in-law IS and he is pretty heavy into late 60's Mopars. He just told me this morning exactly what ronn said! His words.. 'The cheap a** 'lizards' that used to frequent Craig's List, have migrated over to FB Marketplace...

ronn-never been to Hershey and probably never will... I wonder if some of that shrinkage is due to Hershey not being too kind to the antique car folks? That and Pennsylvania taxing people on swap meet items ? Plus almost everyone is using Face Book Marketplace today? Less $$$ than packing up a...
