Love it,and you can make one razor sharp knife.Making some microliths for a body artist this week. Another thing you can make,and this works best with clear is a burning glass.Back nwhen I was a kid,and soda came in these incredibly thic bottles,found out from an old guy that you could take...

New info: Feoolows name was Joeseph C. McCray,no known address.RPD is now treating it as a homicide,blunt force trauma,have put out a notice requesting information.BE ADVISED,THE YARD WILL BE HOT.Everytime the RPD does one of these requests,anyone near the tracks is usually detained for...

Check just about any gunshow,and some of the larger fleamarkets,current milspec masks are starting to show up.Guess the govornment isn't paying the troops enough to make a living,when they start hocking their gear and gear that "fell off the truck".Saw a compleat with filters/desert bag for $25...

Regarding trashing a place: a handsaw.Almost all doorways on rowhouse construction are load bearing.Cutting out a foot of frame on either side of a doorway(start on the top floor) renders the entire structure unstable and compleatly unlivable,as well as subject to a immediate condemnation notice...

Mouse,the camp is off Lombardy headed north from the Kroger.You pass Leigh St.,and the area where they found the body is down in the gullies on your left(same side as the Govorner's School at the old Maggie Walker School.Kind of ironic that the best school in town is there.I-95 passes over,and...

The redoutable WW2 vintage P-38.Took mine and sharpened one edge,cut a semi-circular notch in the far end,filed one corner down for an eyglass screwdriver,another to a fairly medium sized screwdriver,wrapped a piece of plastic tubing around it so it doesn't cut my pocket.Still opens cans,but can...

Best place to sell copper is over on southside off hull. And hats off to you,dear Arrow!Good call on the douche,the biggest problem I've seen with this city is that those of us that worked to make it livable have been marginalized,due to the increase in housing,and the death of the former...

addenium: reason to check this post is that most of the good catchout points are inside of a mile of this camp

RPD found a body at the site of the Lombardy St. homeless camp under I-95 this morning,details to follow.Area has rep as crackwino denup,but has served as campsite for transients.Will post more as it comes in,but its another reason to have crew in RVA.

Interesting!Got to roll one of these up and give it a try.

And now who can dare say there is no virtue in drink?Saved the lad's life,it did!

Follow birds till dark,observe where they roost.Throwing stick will work,but you can slip up if you are quiet,pluck a couple off the branch if low enough and wring their necks.Keep in mind to wait a few min. after they roost(usually not more than 5' off the ground) 'til they go to sleep.If quiet...

One of the best books ever printed on the subject!THANK YOU!

Swiss Army Knife tweezers,peroxide,hot wet cloths,braces and trow at least a size larger. Same problem here.

Ah,one of my favorite things,and its just about the time of year to start a batch. Pear Plonk Came up with this one while living up in N.H. You will need for the fermintation tank: 1- 5gal food service bucket with snap lid 1- 1 pint mason jar 1- Bic style pen(the one with...

Haven't tried na fire piston yet,but the average day has me toting the following:Ferocerium rod on keychain,trench lighter,Bic,tube of strike anywhere matches.Been too cold/wet in too damned many places to ever trust one system.Have used F&S,Bowdrill,Meteor,even chem reaction to get a fire...

Depends on the "tool kit" you pack.If you have spent the time out in the world learning and doing,dropping back into rest of the world will seem confining,but you may find it easier than most folks that do not venture out.Emotionally and physically,you took a risk and stepped off into a place...

Whew........dodged the bullet........long story short,she's back on meds;grandma and I talked,will be keeping an eye out for signs.Daughter is ok,the "problem" is that she acts like a typical 10 year old,and housematr is not really preped for childrearing.Got to admit that my experience is...

.......just got the word that my housemate has dumped her 10 yr.old daughter off at her grandmother's,ranting about how it's all the daughter's fault that her life is mucked up,and dissapeared.All this happened between 7:30 -10:30 this morning.Got to admit ,been wondering if she was keeping up...

Wait until after Christmas(about 2 weeks)and get thee to your local thrift store.My favorite is Diversity here in RVA.Go to the clothes section and start looking.Are those 501 Levies I see,still with the hang tags,for $7,that someone donated because the picked up 10 pounds over the hoidays and...

Look up Exibition Knife,19th century,English.I especially like the Wolstheim.

Check out the book"One Man Caravan",by Robert Fulton.he made the best West-East RTW trip ever,back in the early '30s,on a 350 Douglas.

Biggest thing you might have to deal with is logging roads are the favorite travel route of hunters/poachers.I've walked up a few(logged myself back in the '70s),and unless you can be cool with hunters in season,and convince poachers that you are no threat,better be WAY back off the track.

No syrup me lad,a can of Clover valve grinding compound(coarsest,emery grade) in the oil fill does wonders for the preformance of ANY engine.Why,after a half hour you may not be able to hear the engine!

The swastica:earliest variation I've seen was a petroglyph on display at the Met,northern China origin,Bronze Age,symbol for the Four Winds.Weirdly can be found on English printings of Rudyard Kipling books befor 1930.Was reversed/perverted by that one -balled paperhanger/draftsman and his...

what part of the east coast?

Found a posting on the RVA Craigslist that might be of some use to someone.A Guy down in Petersburg has a 1977 RV for sate/trade in the Barter section for Friday.Its huge,and gas a huge(460 cu.in.) engine,but its big enough that it could sleep 8 people(12 if everybody is friendly).Will need a...

Lo Dameon! Thanks for the diagnosis!Will get my youngest son to set me up(now that I know what to ask for!),and hopefully that insanely cheery voice wil stop.........what there is novoice?,,,,,,,,,,its all in my...

To Anyone Who knows about buying fixer upper cars and getting them repaired does it sound worth Been turning a wrench for over 30 years,and here's my take on it.Wouldnt go as late as this one.Try finding a pre-1977 car first off.The engines and subsidiary systems ar much simpler,parts(even...

Once again,Richmond;Virginia is having a Nascar somthingortheother at the old State Fairgrounds this weekend(9/11-9/13).DO NOT GO NEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!The local PD rolls out and pretty much will arrest anyone on suspicion of anything,including hitching/panhandling/busking.They are trying to make...

Anybody know how to tell the bot in charge(not this site) that NO, I DO NOT WANT FREE FUCKING SMILEES!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you, Lee

Hi Birdy if you don't mind a creepy old fart dispensing advice,keep on reading....... Well,you made it this far.You sound like a bunch of the kids in my neighborhood(and like me about 35 years ago!).You find the folks you bare surounded with deaf to the shout that is life and...

while the posts here have been both informative and well thought out,I must admit that they seem rather like masturbation.Whatever you belive,do something about it,don't talk.

Blind Willie Johnson,"Let Your Light Shine On Me"

Ugly situation,but when we needed to let a animal out due to injury or for processing into meat(yeah,I EAT MEAT) on the farm,a .22 or an icepick worked best.Don't beat yourself,you at least tried to end somthings suffering.Two dogs that I got a call on the other day didn't even have the mercy...

Anybody know if the machinist's union is going to be a part?

Top of the list:Wheatland,N.D.,Eugene,Or.,ALL of L.A.(may it slide into a trench),Concord,N.H.,Mexico City,and Bogita,Columbia. Top reason for all varies,but would only go thru,never stay.

Howdy,kid.Drop a note if you need a hand with anything. oldmanLee

Would have loved to scavange that campground.Probably enough lost money and dropped rig to set up a hundred folks for out on the road for at leat a month.
