Still have my Vikings Raiders Superbowl one in my mom's attic. I also ended up buying the Saints from a flyer they had with my grass cutting money. I think I had them set up as the 79 roster. That sounds about the time I got it.

You might be suspect yourself for knowing that's a Liverpool jersey. :lol: :cheers:
I always put them in a column somewhere towards the bottom of the board, and hope they don't sink it.

used to go swimming at Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. I always wondered where they got the name for it, maybe it was named for the ship?


Here are some of the key HMS ships named Repulse. It may have been named after one of them.

HMS Repulse (1916): A Renown-class battlecruiser, famous for being sunk by Japanese air attacks in December 1941 with HMS Prince of Wales, marking a significant moment in naval history.

HMS Repulse (1892): A Royal Sovereign-class battleship that served in the Channel Fleet and was sold for scrap in 1911.

HMS Repulse (1868): An ironclad battleship, the last British wooden-hulled battleship, sold in 1889.

HMS Repulse (1803): A 74-gun third-rate ship of the line, broken up in 1820.

Repulse (1596): An early English galleon, also known as Due Repulse, recorded until 1645.

We had one at 40. Ain't going to lie. When they are in late teens. You aren't as full of energy as you were when they are little. But you will be fine.

Be prepared to be oldest mom and dad in classrooms visiting your kids. You won't relate to any of the other moms and dad's. Lol

If your talking about Wenceslaus the Idle. The song is not talking about King Wenceslaus IV. It's about his ancestor Saint Wenceslaus I (c. 907-929) also known as Václav the Good.

Done. Praying for a speedy recovery.

My mom and dad had a Grundig that he bought in Germany when he was stationed there. It looks close to this but was darker. It had a EQ pretty cool tech for 1960. He had to speakers that matched the console. That thing was heavy. It sounded great though. Had shortwave/AM/FM on it also. All the writing on the tuner was in German. Later in life he put it in his workshop outside. He put the speakers in the attic. One day he decided to toss it. Me or my brother didn't find out about him doing that tell well after it was done. We both would have taken it just for the memories. I see these things go for $1300 - $10k now. I keep looking to see if I can find one like it to buy one day, and have it restored.

The speakers are still in my mom's attic.

Here is my case why Kareem should be on the list: 1. My dad says he doesn't work hard enough on defense. 2. A lot of times, he doesn't even run down court. 3. He doesn't really try except during the playoffs.


Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

The number of people saying Bill Russell reflects the atrocious state of NBA education among fans today. He has a ring on one of his toes because he ran out of fingers for them all, and he was the only common denominator for those 11 championships, including Red who only coached 9 of them.


He also won 2 championships as a player coach. The guy is one of the greatest of all time.
One of those stations might be a manager that also works the line. They may be doing reports dealer work IRP or several other things. Not making excuses but they do a lot of stuff you don't realize.

No I don't work for the DMV.

Bambu Labs has some really good printers you don't have to tinker with as much. They cost a little more.

As for replacement parts
And such you can do it but you should learn a little cad for doing your own parts unless what you want to replace is something someone has already made model of.

Autodesk fusion has a free version that is pretty easy to learn. Alibre Atom is also not that expensive to start learning cad. There is also freecad. Tinker Cad is also a ok starter point for cad.
