In 1982 I had a bright blue Chevy Malibu. It was beautiful... and in need of a wax job. So I took it to my shop.... we had a service area there for changing oil, etc I began waxing my car. I was bent over waxing the lower part of the right front fender when I realized something was odd..... the car was waxing itself! No, I wasn't high. I stopped for a moment to contemplate and the car wasby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
And I doubt I'll be surprised by the final game. Some good basketball today, however.... even if the results were not much in doubt. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
because I'm rich, pompous, elitist, snobbish, better than everyone. Ok, Ok, you got me... it's because I'm lazy, and old, but mostly lazy. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
And it's only days away! Can't see anyone beating Scheffler at this time. The guy is red hot. Incredibly consistent. BUT... that's the thing about the Masters - "Ya never know". I can't say what the highest honor is that one can attain in sports.... but "The Green Jacket" has to be right at the top. Most trophies you share but not the Green Jacket. I've only been,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
It was different, new.... engaging personalities even if you didn't care for any one or more of them. As individuals no.... I mean I liked them but no one of them was a top favorite of mine. Maybe Cosell in boxing but not football. Dick Enberg is my all time favorite. Al Michaels would be 2nd. Loved Madden. Hank Stram is up there.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
the simplest answer is the correct one. I just read too much into. He just didn't like those pins one damn bit. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
But I think everyone on this board that has a dog should share in your fee? Actually... I shouldn't have to pay at all, only them, because I was smart enough to bring it up. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
As you know this is my first EVER indoor dog. I was completely ignorant on how to raise and train an indoor dog.... but, Guido has basically taught me that I don't train him, he trains me! :laughing Those eyes! YES, I know those eyes well. :laughing Guido actually watches TV. Now I've seen dogs that will glance up at a TV if something that interests them comes on but Guido will watch liby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
English Springer Spaniel.... as you may recall. He's a year old now. English Springer's are known as one of the more intelligent dog breeds.... but, I dunno. He's potty trained now BUT... it took a lot longer than it should have, or what I read is 'normal'. Dumb. He knows exactly how to work us to sneak things off the table he's not supposed to have.... like 'genius level' deceivous.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
And it should have. :imsorryby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I am 100% that today's appliances are junk. They are fancier... and fancier by a LOT... and that probably compensates for them being junk for most people. Not me. As I've said before on this board.... I built my current home in 1993. I believe I'm on my 4 or 5th refrigerator since I moved in. In my garage I have the refrigerator we had as a kid in the 50's. It's never even been servicedby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I am. I'm pretty gullible... tack on the word "Championship" to anything and I'm in. :laughing But I make light... I like NCAA Basketball. The championship does confuse me a little however. I'm rooting for North Carolina. Why? Good question. I haven't got the slightest idea why. I do that.... somehow, for reasons inexplicable to me, I latch on to a team and that's my team.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
That people leave their homes on big holidays. To leave home on a big holiday - like Christmas, Easter... that's not even a thought for my family. BUT... I understand why many do. So I guess businesses get customers... won't be any of my family however. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'm going to have a very good Easter. My grandkids are now too old, (according to them), to hunt Easter eggs.... so for the last few Easters no chocolate eggs for me. BUT TODAY - - - - We have guests... and some of those guest are under 10... which means CANDY for Papa (me). I also have a special wine ready to be uncorked... ummmm, later today. Wine and Chocolate... great combo. :laughiby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Remember the actor Jesse White? You'd know him if you saw him. He delivered not just the funniest line in that movie, (to me of course), but possible in any movie. Well.... actually he tied with Jack Benny's "Well" when Ethel Merman chastises him. When Micky Rooney and Buddy Hackett are in the plane and failing miserably Jesse White, in resignation, says, "Why don't we just sby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I believe Joseph Cotton made one of those commercials as well. BUT... I believe he died of pneumonia, not lung cancer... but it may have been smoking related.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I still love all those movies and watch them periodically. In my household, (when I was a kid), I believe the annual broadcast of the Wizard of Oz was second only to Christmas for being a 'big event'. We looked forward to it like I look forward to a Ram's SB. Ok, my surprise.... but first my prediction. I don't think ANY of you will remember this movie BUT..... at least for you elder folkby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I re-watched it about 2 weeks ago. It is movie perfection!by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
but overall Star Trek was ON their game. Truly incredible... especially considering it was TV and not a movie. But I have to confess... most special effects from yesteryear impress me. To this day I can't even imagine how they created the special effects in the original King Kong. Today it's all CGI... which is amazing, for sure, but it's the computer's doing the work.

I haven't read much about it, but that's the first article I've read about it that is so 'positive' that it's going to happen in that time frame. Man I PRAY they're right!!!! Something that confused me is that they mentioned it would have a stellar magnitude of -2... near the magnitude of Polaris. But then they say it 'may' be visible in the daytime. Polaris is not visible in daylight, or eby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
He had to be one of the busiest actors in Hollywood history. I can remember thinking that if a movie I was watching didn't have Lou in it then something was missing. :laughing He did it all - Movies, TV, Animation (voice). Sad news indeed.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I have never read that, anyway.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
He was one of my favorite actors. A scene stealer! Playing "Mack" in "Cannery Row" is an all time favorite of mine.... but loved the guy in every role he played.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Can't remember when I last ate there..... maybe 6 months ago. Great find! This time? Not good. Actually I'd say the appetizers were 'bad'. I won't be returning.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
The only problem I've had at replacing batteries is when a certain brand discontinues a certain battery type.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
batteries. I'm VERY lucky to get 3 years before the battery is toast. They've always provided enough power for most things BUT.... for my weed eater I have a gas model, not cordless. No chance a cordless would work for me with a weed eater.... too big of an area to cover, weeds are too tough.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I mean, not personally. One of the members in my band was a huge C&W fans and I'm pretty sure we actually used to play one of his songs. Don't have our set list in front of me at the moment but I'm going check that out..... something about 'working man'? - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Probably a dozen of them? maybe more than that. We see mountain lions on our cams almost nightly. And even so it is rare indeed to see one while driving around our ranch. I think they are bolder in the cities... like San Clemente or the LA area in general since they no doubt see people constantly and have grown used to them. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I once saw a wild boar leap and clear a barbed wire fence. Going UPHILL! Yeah, Coyotes trot... until the "kill is on". Some years ago I was at a youth, (very young kids), baseball game. Probably T-Ball (don't remember). Next to the baseball field was an open patch of land on which a 'city' of squirrels had taken up residence. All the kids were watching the squirrels.
