Thanks, Woodjin. Here are some more.

That was the VW Sun Roof. I never had a sun roof Beetle but I had a few plain Beetles, starting with a '57, and my last one - the one with 300K - was a Super Beetle. Another good fresh air device was the vent window that cars used to have but have no more. But I had to put vent window locks on...

The so-called heater in those things was their very worst feature. You still see Beetles in mint condition out here in Arizona where there is virtually no rust. I spent a lot of ours underneath them adjusting the valve tappets and so forth, but I loved them. They never let me down. They were...

Love the Movietone News and the Movietone News announcers. They still had them in the movies when I was a kid - 26 cents childrens admission - but sneaking in the exit door was even cheaper - plus I'd get proudly escorted out of the theater by my own personal uniformed valet - that is to say...

"will soon be starting the sawmill up again" Do they still run the watermill-powered sawmill at Batsto? They used to run it on holidays.

Why does the moon look that ochre color in photographs but not to the eye?

Hi, Guy. I could upload the lot of them right here if you like so they'd all be in one place.

Nice!!! And just last night I camped out under a full moon - and watched it rise!

I was trying out my new propane lantern in the camping photo. I think that may have been the only time I ever used it. I still have the tarp and the blue sack, but the Guernsey sweater is gone. I'm sure you people are very interested in the history of my tarps and sweaters. VW Beetles were...

I posted a bunch of them last year, and I just found a few more that I don't think I posted back then, though I'm not sure which is which, so maybe I posted one or two of these before, and maybe I didn't, and I probably have a few more that I haven't. Does that make sense? Note my extremely...

Yeah, Boyd, I'm talking about ticks that are all dug in. They're easy to pull off if you find them early.

Have you been successful with the modern method? Whenever I've tried it (happily not recently) I've just broken off the tick's head that's inside my body and then it festers, probably the completely worst outcome of all. There was tick-carried diseases before Lyme too. I wonder what kind of...

I just read an old fashioned tip for tick removal. Iodine used to be very common. When I was a kid my parents always had a bottle in the medicine cabinet. It was used as an antiseptic. It had a skull and crossbones on the bottle. Iodine seems to be kind of rare nowadays. It is purported to...

Let's do that next time!

Yeah, that day was great. One single brilliant, sunny day back again in my beloved old Pine Barrens. Thanks again, Guy.

Argh! I'm not only confusing dates of sales, I'm confusing this thread with the other one too.

"Seems like you are over-thinking all this." Yes, I overthink everything. Trouble is my 276c is still going good and I like it. If it broke it would be different. I'd just as soon not go through the learning process and buy the maps again and the holder and whatever other accessories if I...
