My English Teacher always and 2 of the engineers I work with the same… all were much older.
Yep. But they're less common today than 20 years ago, the electronic solutions having gotten better and cheaper. And those still going the rotary route are looking for mostly 900 RPM motors (very quiet) or something old and unique looking. This was a generic early-2000's 1750 Baldor, which was quiet but not a particularly enormous rotating mass, and nothing very special looking.
I’m using an old 1hp for rotary phase converter without problem since about 1982 for the mill…
I'm wearing mostly cargo pants now but have a problem with the pocket on my thigh getting caught on Kitchen cupboard knobs. Doesn't happen too often but it's quite a shock when it does. I'm worried about ripping off a door.I hated those iron-on patches too. Not only were they stiff, but they didn't stick very well either. A few washings, and they'd already started to peel off around the edges.
Would this have been in the late 60s/early 70s? It seemed a fashion fad for a couple years to do away with pockets in men's pants, or only put in one or two, that were often as not too small to fit a wallet in.
Give me cargo pants any day of the week!
It's amazing how coordinated your body is and how close you come to so many things without ever realizing it.
That is what I have, and it has plenty of pressure, with warm water to boot. Can also set the seat to heat up. Of course, it is an electric model to do those things, including a fanny fan for after the rinse cycle. Oh, modern luxury
Same here.
Marbles, tube of BBs.
I was on call 24/7 for thirty years and kept a pager even when cell phones came in due to the cost of air time. It took the better part of a year to realize I didn't need it anymore when I noticed it wasn't on my hip.
Don't worry. That's also NOT a sight I'd want to show.Not a sight I would want to see!
Lever-style door handles always seem to get me. Catch a belt loop on them.
I have in floor registers and in the winter my lounge pants catch on them while walking over them. Darn near fall down every time. I probably should do something about it before I break a hip.
The largest part of our house was built in two phases, 1730’s and 1770’s. Most of the oldest Suffolk thumb latches were replaced with rim locks in an 1820’s renovation, but a few still remain which we use dozens of times every day.
I save money by buying used toilet paper at less than 1/3 the price of new.
I've worked for the same owner for over 33 years. I've never stolen anything and never would. He knows I haul water and use his dumpster. As I said before, it's about a $1000 saving per year and maybe $15000 over the past 33. Every little bit helps the bottom line.
