Thanks a lot for this one, Dobe. Checked it out and really enjoyed it. As a train buff I love everything that has to do with trains. My 3 year old son is also crazy about them. Wonder where he gets it from, eh? :wink: In fact he watched "A Steam Train Passes" last night and tonight again on YouTube...

Hi Guys, A friend in Tamworth, New South Wales - that's Down Under - sent me this 20 minute short. I was skeptical at first as she had so lauded it, when that happens I go in thinking "yeah, show me" but 5 minutes in I was a believer. As were the many experts at all the film festivals where it has ...

Here you go. The first one is Irish Mist looking toward the channel to the right. The second is Riptide looking toward my building in the upper left, with Irish Mist behind it.

Here's Big Blue. https://i.ibb.co/PDbwFm2/05-D0-AE27-1-B9-F-40-B6-9-B1-E-369-A884-CB594.jpg I can't find a photo of Irish Mist though. I think I remember you posting a photo of it years ago with the famous Riptide boat in the same frame... Dang Styles, impressive memory! The Riptide boat WAS docked...

Thanks Styles! You know the models of my watches better than me. :shock: :lol: It does have a heavy “patina” as you say. I just keep it as a beater watch now. I can’t believe it still keeps great time and I never cracked the crystal. It’s closing in on 35 years old. After badly cracking the crystal...

the Westy. I'm sorry, what's the Westy? Sorry, it’s a 1988 VW Westfalia camper van shown in this link, which is pretty similar to mine. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/mean-looking-volkswagen-vanagon-westfalia-is-way-better-than-your-average-camper-van-196459.html In my comment, I was refereeing...

Very thorough review, thank you! I’ve been through many Tropic straps on an old Casio dive watch I’ve had for over 30 years, going back to college in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I have to add that in my experience, they haven’t all been uniformly flexible over that time. Perhaps it was just because I...

I'm curious if the soundstage where Magnum and of course, the original Five-O was filmed still stands and if it does, are they available to visitors? It would be cool to visit it someday. It’s still there, by the university at Manoa, but it has been expanded and remodeled since the H5O and MPI year...

Read the first line carefully, I did not suggest you yourself forgot. It was a generalization. In no way am I trying to be condescending or rude. Just gave my two cents. In my opinion, an Apple Watch would not be a choice for anyone who gets into danger such as Magnum. You’re in a dark place, house...

My wife is competing in the mile at a Masters Swim event in San Diego. She’s staying at a hostel in Ocean Beach. OB is kind of like the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego. She sent me this from the room and I had to share. :shock: :lol: https://ibb.co/gMPKv4h The koolest kat of all time!! Book 'em, Danno!...

I'm not so sure. The early 80s was exploding with strong female characters. Single moms were everywhere and were starting to make serious money outside the home. All the networks were under pressure to have strong women to attract the female audience so their advertisers could sell them all their c...
