Aluminum foil loosely, bunched up with some tongs. Inexpensive and effective.
Just perfect. Love the detail. My favorite plane of WWII.

re: 1989- Great Year in Music

Posted by contraryman on 5/13/25 at 2:16 pm
This was the year that I started DJ duties at KNLU while I was at NLU. 1989 introduced me to all of these bands and more. It will never get better.
23+ years in sales. Was retired by my company a month and a half ago. Kids are set. Just me and the Mrs now. Starting with a non-profit fundraising gig a week from Monday. Looking forward to the change and dealing with a different set of folks. Hoping to do it for the next 9 and walk away and feel god about leaving something good behind for others.
I got to see it two years ago as it came through Positano. Really cool.
National WW II museum. It started as DDay.

Three decade battle with cancer! Very underrated band. They were supposed to play in New Orleans last year, but his cancer came back. Sucks.

I have texted him and he is out of town this weekend. He will get on it when he gets back.

Have a friend who posts here sometimes. He lurks a lot. He would be able to tell you where to go and what to do. Been with him a couple times and always caught.

Ship Sticks

Wanted to get some opinions on Ship Sticks experiences.

Where did you drop clubs?
How did you pack them? Hard case, soft case? Box?
Did you do express? 2-3 day? 5 day?
Any horror stories?

Used power tools

Posted by contraryman on 4/8/25 at 1:42 pm
Is there a place that purchases used power tools and other related equipment? I know pawn shops do some of this but don’t really want to deal with Rick Harrison type owners. Just want to get a fair price for what I bring in. Thanks in advance.

Unbelievable talent.
May want to do mineral spirits instead of mineral oil.

Also zippo lighter fluid does the trick.
I have a couple of throwbacks if you’re interested
