    "I am here to tell you that it worked that way in 1979, too. And probably every year before that... until the "Give me money" generation came along and expected it free... " Where I lived in the 60's, we had to use push mowers with no motor until we were 14. When it snowed, it was a race to...

    Maggie’s Dazed and Confused - Digitally remastered - 1973 Madison Square Garden

    Part of Led Zeppelin's unique sound is based on some pretty complex music that's hard to pull off. In Kashmir, Bonham is maintaining a 4/4 beat while the strings are playing in 3/4, so the beats only match up once every 12 beats. Fool in the Rain is even more complex. Bonham is maintaining 2...

    You did it wrong. I had a friend in Cleveland go to Ticketmaster there, where there was no line. We ended up near the top of MSG, but it was awesome.

    I love the Scots! We had some come diving with us on wrecks off of Long Island, NY. the boat deck was very high, and we stepped off through an opening in the rail. The Scots insisted on sitting on the rail and rolling off backwards. I asked one of them why they insisted on rolling off backwards...

    Maggie’s This One Time at Band Camp (Tales of Youth and Indiscretion)

    We were kids, but 50 years old. At a friend's 50th birthday party, we filled balloons with oxygen and acetylene, covered them with a wet towel, and detonated them with bottle rockets shot through a 20 ft length of PVC pipe. You had to light the fuse and "get away quick". His wife had hired an...

    I know a grotto in FL 240 ' (40 fathoms) deep where instructors used to take people to the bottom on air, and then offer them a regulator with a dildo instead of a mouthpiece. Fun guys...

    Maggie’s This One Time at Band Camp (Tales of Youth and Indiscretion)

    Humans can actually dive really deep if they use the right gas and take the time to decompress. Before ROV's came to be in common use, oil rig divers dove to depths in excess of 1000 ft every day. In some places, they still do. The 130 ft depth limit for air diving, especially on scuba, has...

    Maggie’s Smokers, Propane and propane accessories - what grill do I get

    The Weber kettle grill works great and will last a long time. There is some serious engineering in the materials it's made of. You need to replace the grill grate and fire grate every now and then, but they are cheap and readily available. Learn how to use a 2 zone fire and you can cook almost...

    5 lbs of our coffee was the ultimate comshaw in the yard. You had to make internal deals first on your ship to get the coffee. It was entertaining.

    I was assigned to help a MM1 who was rebuilding a pump, and was run around a large shipyard for an entire afternoon looking for a can of relative bearing grease. Over a few beers that night, we laughed about it, and the MM told me that now I know where the pump, compressor, turbine and generator...
