Here's my rare Leatherman story. I'm a retired CB and I did a tour with MEF I in 2006 and we used a lot of Hesco barriers. Kinda the replacement for sandbags although that's a totally whole story, but in each big pack of Hescos was a box of utility tools. There was a folding razor blade, a hammer utility knife and a miniature Leatherman. Usually these were raided out by the REMFs in MLO but I got one set. Still got it.
I went to the ca. State fair grounds and got to see Evil jump. That was 55 years ago give or take.. he was successful. My first lunch box was deputy dog. I was in first grade. Buffalo Bills grandson worked for our shop. Our sewing machines got stolen. Make a long story short I found them and with the help of a big detective I got them back. Bill called me deputy dog after that. I had to take two toggle switches apart to make one. It was a challenge and still works today. Aw hot buttered bread is good with any meal. Thank You
Deputy dog... when my niece saw "Smoky the Bear" in costume at the state fair she was afraid but when she saw Bart Simpson she ran up and gave him a hug! 🙃🤐
I had the Dukes of Hazard box, Rambo, GI-Joe, etc. Can you imagine the poor kid who takes The Dukes of Hazard lunch box to school today! What a shame. Anything with the Confederate flag on it will become very collectable I think. Anyway, please share more of your animal friends, love it!
My Italian gramma would give all of us cousins a thick slice of buttered Italian bread with a cup of sweet coffee, mostly cream, to dunk the buttered bread in. It was the best ever breakfast!
Back in the day I would have a buttered hard roll with my coffee around 10 o'clock. I had already had a full breakfast with fruit, English muffin, cold cereal, orange juice, coffee and some sort of coffee cake.
I rocked a Star Wars box at first!! Evel was a really cool guy. I had the opportunity to meet him twice and actually spend time talking with him!! First time I was a teenager and he was passing through town and needed some woodwork done on his bus, so he pulled into the cabinet shop where my dad worked and when we drove out to pick him up after work he called the house and told mom to bring us kids, had a customer wanted to meet us!! About ten years later I was working in a mechanic shop and my boss came back and read us the riot act to not fawn over this mystery customer who was coming in. Evel walked into the bay right about then and looked right at me “Hey, you’re that woodworker kid?” Yessir! Good to see you again. We’ll get your car ready quick as we can, I already pulled the parts. -he grabbed my hand and gave it a good shake and big ole grin- He was just way cool and my boss about fell over!!!
Great story! I just lost so much weight this winter that I had to take the tag off a brand new black T shirt with Death Star on it pictured in all white.
Loving the switch assembly/disassembly segments. I've taken apart and fixed (mostly) many types of switch rockers on ball bearings can be challenging to reassemble, but by far and away the most difficult switch I've ever had to fix is a push-on/push-off switch in an old Anglepoise lamp. The Anglepoise switch had an arrangement of metal parts operating around a twist (flat screw?) of metal. One part travels up and down the twist to activate other parts of the switch. Sorry I can't remember the exact details, it was a while ago and I just remember how difficult it was and the overflowing swear jar by the time it was fixed. It took many attempts. Thanks for the great content John.
My lunch box was Roy Roger’s and Dale Evans. The glass insides were made in Norwich, Ct at the Thermos plant. Lots of folks in town worked there. Very nice switch discussion. Interesting to see the guts of it. I’m returning from my business trip to Germany. Sitting at JFK watching Scoutcrafter. Nice way to pass the time. Great video. Best Regards, John
Great show and tell episode! It's funny, every time you say "do you remember........" I'm nodding my head yes. Lunch boxes, buttered rolls (definitely a NY thing), cream cheese and jelly, you name it.
Thanks for showing the lunchbox. As a kid, I loved my lunch boxes. I always thought I was a very good kid because mom always sent me to school with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my lunchbox. Every day. Now that I'm older, I understand it was because my mom was a single mom, raising two kids. PB&J was all she could afford. She is a great parent, and never let me know she didn't have money. I still love PB&J, and I'm 47 years old.
The first time I watched one of your videos you were talking about ding dongs who wear hats, flip flops, shorts, and t-shirts into nice restaurants. Today you are talking about parenting, role models, and staying away from drugs. ScoutCrafter you are a national treasure! If I were a teacher I would show your videos in class three times per week. Until the end of my sophomore year my mother sent me to school full of hot breakfast and with lunch in a paper sack. For three very hot summers i worked landscaping. She sent me to work with lunch in a cooler with two big bottles of ice tea. I guess I have always been lucky to be the weird outsider (from the group). Love your videos. Thank you. Please show us pics of the thee Leatherman Al needs. One of us might have one.
I got some heat for mentioning the poor dress code dilemma. 😂. I was in a restaurant last week and there were 6 men wearing baseball hats while eating. T shirts of course…. 🥴. 😂
@@ScoutCrafter I remember pulling into foreign ports and sailors/Marines could not leave the ship unless they were wearing a shirt with collar. It was always just the losers who whined.
A few years ago my wife and I spent a few hours waiting for our flight at the Portland, Oregon airport. I found out later that the Leatherman factory was only a couple of miles away. I sure would have liked to do a factory tour. As far as switch/receptacle wiring, I prefer the clamp style, especially the type where the clamp is internal.
I had the Knight Rider lunch box back in the day. We used to eat the buttered roll and coffee all the time. It’s definitely a NY-NJ thing. Great looking stuff today. I have a pretty good poor man’s flea market find I’ll be sharing soon.
As much as I appreciate the olde-time stuff you celebrate, I've never had a Decora switch or outlet fail on me... the look is great when you have them uniformly installed around the house, and the ability to operate one with an elbow is not to be overlooked ;). The size of the contact is no joke though... there's a few videos on the @EverydayHomeRepairs channel where switches are disassembled and examined (also, "consumer grade" vs. "contractor", etc.) that I think you'd enjoy.
i remeber when i was probably first year in highschool i cleaned up my wardrobe and it was full filled with tons of old stuff, and i found my old luch box, and i go 'hey cool! my old lunch box!! i open it, and there was an old sandwich in a ziploc bag in it!! it was compeltely white with mold lol
Oh man, you had to start talking food, you’re killing me, butter on a roll, never tried it that way but my favorite coffee treat was a bagel toasted with a salmon smear, now that to me tasted so good it would almost make ya wanna slap yourself. I thought I was the only one who put things in a box and stowed them away only to forget them then a few years later come across the box and wonder what was in it only to discover it was I had been looking for 3 months ago and thought I had given away to some one in need, that’s one of my weaknesses, you need it, I got extras, I give it to you, no charge. Thanks for the video sir.
LOL, look what I found. You have so many tools you don’t even know what you have any more hidden away. I wish I had your real world problem. Love your videos.
I love the Micra. Carried one for years until it got confiscated at the airport. What a bummer! Buttered roll must have been a northern thing. In the south it was always a buttered biscuit. Jim
When I worked in Manhattan I LOVED a butter roll and coffee for breakfast. Had one every day! Got a new job outside of Manhattan and Diabetes so that ended.
I remember the smell of the plastic thermos ...... I think with a chocolate drink in it , it used to taint the drink !! Great show John . Love the mix Moshe's . !!
BUTTERED ROLL BABY!! I used to work at an Italian bakery in town as a 16-yr old. Every Sunday morning I'd show up at 0100hrs and promptly put over 2,000 rolls (in batches) in the steamer/proofer. Then the owner Pat would bake them. On Sunday's we were permitted to take some stuff home for free, so I always took a dozen of the rolls for my family and make baconeggcheeseonaroll when I got home at about 9am. Great memories John, thanks for that!
Looks like our back porch! We also have a family of racoons that come by from time to time. I always know when the racoons have been here because they clean every little piece of cat food out of the cracks and grooves of the floor!
They're a riot to watch. A buddy and I used to split a 6 pack of imported 'fancy' beer and sit in the Wood Lake shelter playing cards and when it got late enough here comes momma raccoon followed by all her babies in single file order behind her coming down to the water's edge.💙💛
I've been in that Leviton plant many times working on the bowls that fed all the parts of that switch, there fed into an assembly machine and they are great quality I done all electrical in my house using Leviton switches and outlets and have never had anything fail, great video as always and I always use the hook method
That is a sweet collection of Leatherman tools. I used to do custom leatherwork, and whenever a customer would order a pouch for a Leatherman I would wet mould the leather for that specific model. Which meant that whenever a customer ordered one that I didn't have in my collection, I would make them wait until I had bought that model to make sure it fit perfectly. It got expensive quickly. I am not sure how many I have, but only a shadow of your friends collection
Dad bought us mini bikes but my sisters weren’t as into it. Started out with a Yamaha 80 then a Kawasaki 90 and then my first 4 stroke was a Honda XR75. By the time I was a senior in high school, I had moved up to a 1975 Honda XL350 and I still have it.
if I had to bring my lunch it was homemade bread wrap in a brown paper bag, got free hot lunches mostly...homemade bread BITD early 60's was very crumbly as it got old...still have PtsD from being that poor...great show, txs for sharing
I lived in a small town with a population of 6000 and we went home for lunch. However when we did take a lunch we used a brown paper bag. Good segment on the light switches. I do have a couple of the flat switches and they seem to work well. Have a great weekend and Thank You for all you do 😃
Always wanted a lunch box but all I had was the brown paper bag that you bought in packs. When I was out of high school someone bought me a plastic one from Stanley or some other company. I hated that worthless piece of junk, but I still have it to store things. I think they understood that there were kids that would have destroyed it as they were bullies and seemed to get a thrill out of it. Sometime I am going to buy me a new Stanley classic. I am not sure why, but I do pack a lunch when I go places. As to the light switch, I still use the hook but my son mostly uses the plug in wire feature. Hard to change how you were taught when you aren't doing the work regularly. I don't know if the nickle will be the lowest or it will be the dollar.
We have a lot in common. I never had one, either, but that was because my mom insisted my father buy the lunch meal tickets to have a HOT meal. I think they were like 45 cents at the time. When I did finally get a thermos one day I came home to my drying thermos and the glass liner was mysteriously broken. I think it was my sister and her hubby. They're stalkerish phuck-tards. I am going to get both of them oneday for all the drama and BS they have put me through.
I noticed you refrained from saying 'what kind of lunatic hasn't had cream cheese and jelly'. A friend of mine actually restored some of the furniture in Evil's truck for the restoration of it. The Evil Knievil museum originated in Topeka Ks at Topeka Harley Davidson. Thanks for the videos.
Blimey, those Eval Kineval lunch boxes are fantastic, we never had such things as I went to school on a small island in England and most of us lived just 5 mins or less from school so nipped home for the dinner hour, just like to say I really like the way you sometimes end the show with the animals which you feed🙂
Always a fan of Evel Knievel. In fact, my dad grew up with Evel and his brother back in Butte, MT, and actually bought his first car from the Knievel family.
As a kid in rural Kansas, breakfast was 1-2 pieces of toast, a big glass of whole milk, and often a very small glass of orange juice. Toast had just butter, butter & jam, or peanut butter. My mom worked as a nurse, so our bread was purchased from a neighbor who made fresh loaves almost daily. No. NY style bakeries in the country!
I really like bagels but like tater chips, I can't just eat just one unless it'd be the size of a truck tire. Good stuff there. I try not to be hard on electrical stuff because it might just burn me out of house and home and I always ate inn the lunch room at school and the Army had plenty of C-rations. Happy weekend, John with upstate and the GF! God Bless and Thanks!
get some 1000 grit black automotive wet sanding paper for contacts and as much as I like electrical tape the liquid stuff is way better as its waterproof. I keep reminding SC hoping he'll do a video about it. Plus you can get it in different colors... very important to us in electronics.
Wow a mint Evel kneivel lunchbox, I remember the wind up toy bike.. and spinning it as fast as I could to jump the dinning room table.. 🤣!! great episode John , have a great weekend ! cheers Rob
I loved the Smash 'em Crash cars with that T handle and the one heavy wheel in the middle. I used to double stack the ramps and jump them. These were the ones that were meant to break apart and be put back together. Too bad that idea went the way of the planned obsolence.
It’s amazing how you can remember the lunch box smell. Not pleasant in my book. Glass thermoses had replaceable liners. The milk story was funny. 😂 Cat watching the possum eat 😂. 🇺🇸
Hi Scoutcrafter the switches and plugs you get here have little holes in back you can put the wires in as well as the screws you can wrap the wire around
I sure remember those steel school lunch boxes. This kid was being an idiot to me in Grade 2 during lunch time once. I clubbed him over the head with that thing. That solved my problem rather quickly. Plastic just doesn't have the same effect to it in that regard, and the cheap tabs were always broken off, just like those plastic cases hand drills are sold in now. Mom would wrap an elastic band around it to keep it closed.
What’s up John great Video love “Billy” the Penny collector baseball ⚾️ player - I have my picture of my Leatherman collection- I’m missing 3 total that’s it …. Germany had an auction I was in and I missed it because of time zone 😡 anyways looking forward to going to grab a Burger kido -- enjoy the Micra 👈🏼I have a RARE one for ya different model -- As we said “there’s a fine line between “ you know what I’m saying 👍🏼 Looking forward to the next video 😎 still studying the tap and die video 👍🏼 Also the buttered roll and coffee is 100% a New York thing : when there already prepped at 5 am and that cup of coffee you can’t beat it’s awesome ✅ ttys John
Thanks again for the trip down memory lane! Loved the light switch segment,too bad companies "cheap out" on products for the sake of profit. Thanks again!
We had a lunch box, same one year after year, after it wore out it was lunch bags and then eating at the school cafeteria. Elementary school must have been the clearing house for butter, white bread, and apple sauce; oh raisin pie too a cafeteria speciality, I do not think I could eat it today. The switches remind me of the fad in the 70’s with aluminum wiring in houses, until they started burning down, then out it goes.
Hey John, I use to eat butter rolls all the time but they don't have them like they use to anymore. The last one I had was at the 7-11 down the street from me but about 10 years or so ago they stopped having them, and said that they didn't sell. I haven't thought about them for a while, but after this show I want one. Thanks - now I have to get one somewhere. lol
I grew up on kaiser rolls with butter, bagels with cream cheese, wonder bread with peanut butter and jelly, or cream cheese and jelly. The wonder bread bakery was around the corner and would sell the "day old" bread at 4 o'clock when the trucks came back in. They replaced the bread in the stores daily and they brought back to the bakery what didnt sell the day before! A quarter a loaf for the day old! Just as good as fresh! A lot of people today dont even count wonder bread as real bread! Lol! Do you remember using wet lumps of wonder bread , squeezed into a little ball as fish bait? I also remember how the jelly would ooze right through the bread and be on the top of the sandwich! Great memories of being a kid in Brooklyn! Have a great weekend, John!
Yes! I used to go out to Route 110 there was a Outlet store that sold “day old” Entenmann’s and Hostess and Wonder bread. .25 a loaf! Used to buy 6 or 8 loaves for the birds but they never went stale! 😂👍
Another great video. As a younger kid. I had A Roy Rogers lunch box. Also dual pistols.what memories. Never liked those rocker switches. Have a great weekend John. 👍👍❤...
Boy, several different comments on the same video! The box for your taps holds two propane tanks for your torch kit, I have the same one. On the lunch boxes, I had a Bonanza box in the day, I think I broke the thermos also. I agree the Decora switches are junk, but I have them throughout the house, they are easy to use, especially with your elbow when entering a room. Don't get us started on the door knob vs door lever debate!
Hi Scout.....I like your lunch box (I was a poor brown-bag-boy), so don't take this the wrong way but the position of that cloud on the side where he's riding the whely looks like a big old fart! Thanks for another Friday video to unwind with. Have a happy day 😊
Great video 👍 That Evel Knievel was a pretty great stunt man 🏍. What a heck of a entertainer. Remember the jump over 14 Greyhound buses 🚌 ? I think he cleared that one without getting hurt. What great information and demonstration of the inside workings of a SPST Rocker Switch or paddle switch. Those contacts were small but the thickness of them looked heavy duty so they should give you many years of service just like the regular toggle switch would. Those Leather Man Multi tools are nice and great to have. I have one of the original super tool that has the ruler on the handles, pliers ,two knives,bottle opener wire cutters ,screwdrivers, wire stripper etc... I first seen those Leatherman tools at Sears about 30 some years ago, and I think that’s where I bought mine at. They were a little expensive then and are still expensive but is a great little tool to have in vehicle or carry in your pocket. The Leatherman multi tool you got looks awesome. I like the red and blue handles. That would be great on your keychain 🔑. That pizza 🍕 you showed in the video looked mighty good . I liked seeing your 🐈⬛ cat watching that opossum 🦡 closely eating his dinner. What another great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in that night breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a fantastic weekend. 😃👍👍
Evil knievel was the man that’s for sure , looking back just destined for disaster with his big heavy bikes , but wow , entertainment - what a man ! Fantastic video scout , always love the old days , were you ever a clipper craft clothing guy ?
I’m just a DIYer and not an electrician! If you have a really old switch or receptacle you will see that you can only use a flat blade screwdriver to make connections. A somewhat newer device will also allow the use of a phillips screwdriver. Today’s devices also allow the use of a third type, the #1 Robertson or square drive and the devices also have markings in French so they can be sold in Canada where the square drive is more common. (A circuit breaker will use a #2 Robertson.) I find the square drive the best to use because a square drive will definitely not torque out. Most 1/4” bit driver sets also include square drive bits.
John, I can't recall all the lunch boxes I had as a kid but I think one was "Planet of the Apes" and what a horrible sound that was if you broke the glass vessel in your Thermos 😞 I've told you before that I'm an electrician. Loop the wire on the screw is always best. The problem with the old style switches are the size of them. Older homes had less wiring in the switch and outlet boxes. Usually because they had a junction box in the basement or attic and spidered out from there. Switch/outlet boxes today get pretty full of wires and splices and the proper box fill calculations need to be made depending on the cubic capacity of the box, wire size and quantity and device type. Not much fun if an inspector breaks your chops for being one over on box fill. Get another decor/rocker style switch and put a load on it. When you turn it on and off you can see the "spark" through the rocker if you have a light colored switch. Many customers used to be afraid of that when you had a switch loaded with wattage from recessed lights before CF's and L.E.D. lamps. When figuring out how much you can load up a circuit breaker you're only allowed to use 80% so a 15 amp C/B you don't want to exceed 1440 watts. If you want some more fun with switches get a 3-way and a 4-way switch. I am always surprised at some of my "colleagues" on their lack of knowledge of how to wire them. I don't wear my Leathermen tools anymore but they all are in strategic locations. I bought a Wave by accident a while back and the several PST II are in the truck and tackle box and I forget where else A large cawfee and a buttered roll sound like the start of my day tomorrow. CAMA has a couple of things going on Saturday only (7/21). Sorry for the long post George
Those paddle switches are really easy to operate with your elbow - you know, when you have a cup of coffee in one hand, and a buttered roll in the other?
Talking about kids lunch boxes, there were some horrific adverts in the UK 25 years ago where the mother would steal the goodies from the lunch box, the beginning of the Me Me society, the opposite of the caring adverts Do you love someone enough to give them your last Rollo?
the old switches were rated for AC or DC current. The arc from breaking a DC circuit is much larger than AC. So, therefore the contact surface for an AC/DC snap switch must be larger to allow for the erosion due to the arcing
Fun video. I think I had a Davy Crockett lunch box back in the day. Hints for the box of taps, dies, and drills you bought at the estate sale last week: Keep an eye out for the plastic storage bins you often see at yard sales. Now use the label maker you bought (the greatest invention for old people ever made) and mark the drawers for the sizes of taps, etc. that you use. cover the labels with Scotch tape to keep the cheap Chinese replacement label cartridges you bought from coming off in a workshop's oily environment. If you don't have a particular size tap, etc., mark a drawer for it anyway. It will remind you to keep an eye out for the missing size and you won't keep hunting for something you don't have. Avoid piling hardened tools loosely in a box. You have to dig every time you need a certain size and it isn't good to bang sharpened tools into each other. Lastly, to keep the tools from rusting after you have gone to all the trouble to clean them up, go to your local motorcycle shop and get a spray can of control cable lubricant. Unlike WD-40, cable lube is light oil. One spritz and you can get oil onto a drawer full of taps, etc. This stuff works a treat on oiling large areas like angle plates, chucks, and other large tooling. PJ-1 is the brand of lube I usually see in the bike shops. Cheers from NC/USA
Evil Knievel was my hero! I had motorcycles most of my early life. Got my license at 15 (legal), mostly rode on/off road bikes. I was coming home from school on my bike, 1973 Honda XL 175., I had bought brand new, with my own money. The school bus had dropped off my neighbors, including two neighborhood girls I wanted to impress, who were about 75 yards ahead of me. I came around the corner and popped a wheelie in 2nd gear, shifted from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, all the while still on one wheel, shifted from 4th to 5th as I passed my friends, and the motorcycle left the ground, flipped over backwards, I'm guessing about 45 mph? Dented my gas tank, broke the handle bars, handle bar pointed one way and the front wheel the other, cracked my helmet, etc. You talk about embarrassed and hurt. Pushed my bike home. My dad was working in the carport. He looked at me, and said "how you doing Evil," and went on about his business. Went inside and my mom helped pick the rocks out of my legs, arms and cheek, and patched me up. I made an impression.
ScoutCrafter, The contacts are even smaller than you indicated. Area is proportional to the radius squared. If the radius is half, then the area is 1/4. Bob
I feel like drugs is only getting worse! I hear so many youngster talking about hard drugs and how fun it is.. Very scary, I would've been so receptive for that when I was younger myself. Happy to be a bit older now. Hope you'll have a great weekend!
Remember the days at the deli- a buttered roll and coffee for a buck! But if you’re doing a bagel, nothing beats cream cheese and bacon on a toasted bagel. Try it if you haven’t. I put all my old taps and dies in a plastic box and covered them in mineral oil to preserve them. It also loosens all the crud on them so you can clean them up with a toothbrush. Thanks for another great episode.
I have never tried that combo. My favorite as a kid was cream cheese on anything with either green or black olive slices. This combo is especially good on a subway and I am surprised when Subway never includes cream cheese on any of their subs. They need A1 fror the steak subs, too.
Personally never had a decora fail on me yet, had a few old toggle ones fail, granted they were much much older. Also if you ever use a commercial decora they feel much more stout than the residential ones, they are rated for 20A at 277v. Also, cant imagine never having cream cheese and jelly!
I had the man from uncle lunch box and no matter how hard I tried not to break the glass in the thermos it bit the dust at least twice a year in grade school.
Butter was bad fer ya but now it's good fer ya. About the switches, you have to realize electricity back in the old days was better, that's when 15 amps was really worth 15 amps now 15 amps is only worth about 10 amps .... LOL
9:56 Big Clive called and he wants his format back. I always prefer the J hook because I know the #s and connections are always where there are potential for eventual problems so I try to do it the best I can in the beginning to avoid the. I even added spark plug dieletric on my front light's bulb base to keep it corrosion free longer.
We didn't have tin lunch-boxes we had Tupperware (also early seventies) and the drinks bottles always leaked so your sandwiches were always damp and tasted of fruit squash ! The town I lived in as a kid was home to Thermos in the UK, all gone now and replaced by a supermarket ! I know what your Dad meant about worry, we seem to have moved straight from worrying about our 20-somethings to worrying about our 80-somethings never a dull moment if you care for your family ! Me, I love a buttered roll, and Cream cheese and Jam, particularly blackcurrant ! Have you ever had a traditional British "Cream Tea" - Scone with Butter, Jam & Clotted Cream ?
Young Magdad had the Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox. I wish I still had it...
Finding an old box of tools you forgot about is as good as finding five bucks in an old coat pocket, lol, good stuff!
15 years on CZcams- what a milestone 👏... Those old lunch boxes are so cool 👍👍👍
John, a roll and coffe. Miss it terribly, as I no longer live in New York. A New York kaiser roll - to die for. with a fried egg, the best ever!
Butter Biscuits down here...still a big thing 😊
Here's my rare Leatherman story. I'm a retired CB and I did a tour with MEF I in 2006 and we used a lot of Hesco barriers. Kinda the replacement for sandbags although that's a totally whole story, but in each big pack of Hescos was a box of utility tools. There was a folding razor blade, a hammer utility knife and a miniature Leatherman. Usually these were raided out by the REMFs in MLO but I got one set. Still got it.
Yes! It’s funny how knives that were included in munitions kits were always hot commodities. 😂👍
I went to the ca. State fair grounds and got to see Evil jump. That was 55 years ago give or take.. he was successful. My first lunch box was deputy dog. I was in first grade. Buffalo Bills grandson worked for our shop. Our sewing machines got stolen. Make a long story short I found them and with the help of a big detective I got them back. Bill called me deputy dog after that. I had to take two toggle switches apart to make one. It was a challenge and still works today. Aw hot buttered bread is good with any meal. Thank You
Deputy dog... when my niece saw "Smoky the Bear" in costume at the state fair she was afraid but when she saw Bart Simpson she ran up and gave him a hug! 🙃🤐
I had the Dukes of Hazard box, Rambo, GI-Joe, etc. Can you imagine the poor kid who takes The Dukes of Hazard lunch box to school today! What a shame. Anything with the Confederate flag on it will become very collectable I think. Anyway, please share more of your animal friends, love it!
My first grade lunch box was a Wild Bill Hickock unit. That certainly dates me.
My buddy had the Evil Knievel wind up stunt bike. It was the coolest thing I ever saw. It could do anything.
My Italian gramma would give all of us cousins a thick slice of buttered Italian bread with a cup of sweet coffee, mostly cream, to dunk the buttered bread in. It was the best ever breakfast!
Back in the day I would have a buttered hard roll with my coffee around 10 o'clock. I had already had a full breakfast with fruit, English muffin, cold cereal, orange juice, coffee and some sort of coffee cake.
😆😆 I have that very Leatherman Micra! The two tone red and blue really drew me in. Awesome gift he gave you!
Box of taps fantastic
Good! Very, very good! ( Brazil )
I rocked a Star Wars box at first!!
Evel was a really cool guy. I had the opportunity to meet him twice and actually spend time talking with him!! First time I was a teenager and he was passing through town and needed some woodwork done on his bus, so he pulled into the cabinet shop where my dad worked and when we drove out to pick him up after work he called the house and told mom to bring us kids, had a customer wanted to meet us!!
About ten years later I was working in a mechanic shop and my boss came back and read us the riot act to not fawn over this mystery customer who was coming in. Evel walked into the bay right about then and looked right at me “Hey, you’re that woodworker kid?” Yessir! Good to see you again. We’ll get your car ready quick as we can, I already pulled the parts. -he grabbed my hand and gave it a good shake and big ole grin-
He was just way cool and my boss about fell over!!!
That is AWESOME!!! 😃👍
Great story! I just lost so much weight this winter that I had to take the tag off a brand new black T shirt with Death Star on it pictured in all white.
Loving the switch assembly/disassembly segments. I've taken apart and fixed (mostly) many types of switch rockers on ball bearings can be challenging to reassemble, but by far and away the most difficult switch I've ever had to fix is a push-on/push-off switch in an old Anglepoise lamp. The Anglepoise switch had an arrangement of metal parts operating around a twist (flat screw?) of metal. One part travels up and down the twist to activate other parts of the switch. Sorry I can't remember the exact details, it was a while ago and I just remember how difficult it was and the overflowing swear jar by the time it was fixed. It took many attempts. Thanks for the great content John.
My lunch box was Roy Roger’s and Dale Evans. The glass insides were made in Norwich, Ct at the Thermos plant. Lots of folks in town worked there. Very nice switch discussion. Interesting to see the guts of it. I’m returning from my business trip to Germany. Sitting at JFK watching Scoutcrafter. Nice way to pass the time. Great video.

John- Roy and Dale seemed like the nicest people. Imagine running into them I bet they would have been just like they portrayed. Welcome back! 🇺🇸😃👍
Yes, great people and role models. Glad to be back on US soil.
Great show and tell episode! It's funny, every time you say "do you remember........" I'm nodding my head yes. Lunch boxes, buttered rolls (definitely a NY thing), cream cheese and jelly, you name it.
Thanks for showing the lunchbox. As a kid, I loved my lunch boxes. I always thought I was a very good kid because mom always sent me to school with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my lunchbox. Every day. Now that I'm older, I understand it was because my mom was a single mom, raising two kids. PB&J was all she could afford. She is a great parent, and never let me know she didn't have money. I still love PB&J, and I'm 47 years old.
The first time I watched one of your videos you were talking about ding dongs who wear hats, flip flops, shorts, and t-shirts into nice restaurants. Today you are talking about parenting, role models, and staying away from drugs. ScoutCrafter you are a national treasure! If I were a teacher I would show your videos in class three times per week. Until the end of my sophomore year my mother sent me to school full of hot breakfast and with lunch in a paper sack. For three very hot summers i worked landscaping. She sent me to work with lunch in a cooler with two big bottles of ice tea. I guess I have always been lucky to be the weird outsider (from the group). Love your videos. Thank you. Please show us pics of the thee Leatherman Al needs. One of us might have one.
I got some heat for mentioning the poor dress code dilemma. 😂. I was in a restaurant last week and there were 6 men wearing baseball hats while eating. T shirts of course…. 🥴. 😂
@@ScoutCrafter I remember pulling into foreign ports and sailors/Marines could not leave the ship unless they were wearing a shirt with collar. It was always just the losers who whined.
A few years ago my wife and I spent a few hours waiting for our flight at the Portland, Oregon airport. I found out later that the Leatherman factory was only a couple of miles away. I sure would have liked to do a factory tour. As far as switch/receptacle wiring, I prefer the clamp style, especially the type where the clamp is internal.
I had the Knight Rider lunch box back in the day. We used to eat the buttered roll and coffee all the time. It’s definitely a NY-NJ thing. Great looking stuff today. I have a pretty good poor man’s flea market find I’ll be sharing soon.
As much as I appreciate the olde-time stuff you celebrate, I've never had a Decora switch or outlet fail on me... the look is great when you have them uniformly installed around the house, and the ability to operate one with an elbow is not to be overlooked ;). The size of the contact is no joke though... there's a few videos on the @EverydayHomeRepairs channel where switches are disassembled and examined (also, "consumer grade" vs. "contractor", etc.) that I think you'd enjoy.
Dude I just love you. Big hug from Argentina.
Have a great weekend Mr. John... I like that Billy bank! Nice
i remeber when i was probably first year in highschool i cleaned up my wardrobe and it was full filled with tons of old stuff, and i found my old luch box, and i go 'hey cool! my old lunch box!! i open it, and there was an old sandwich in a ziploc bag in it!! it was compeltely white with mold lol
Oh man, you had to start talking food, you’re killing me, butter on a roll, never tried it that way but my favorite coffee treat was a bagel toasted with a salmon smear, now that to me tasted so good it would almost make ya wanna slap yourself. I thought I was the only one who put things in a box and stowed them away only to forget them then a few years later come across the box and wonder what was in it only to discover it was I had been looking for 3 months ago and thought I had given away to some one in need, that’s one of my weaknesses, you need it, I got extras, I give it to you, no charge. Thanks for the video sir.
LOL, look what I found. You have so many tools you don’t even know what you have any more hidden away. I wish I had your real world problem. Love your videos.
I love the Micra. Carried one for years until it got confiscated at the airport. What a bummer! Buttered roll must have been a northern thing. In the south it was always a buttered biscuit. Jim
Those airport thieves…. They should allow you to drop it in a padded envelope and mail it to yourself.
When I worked in Manhattan I LOVED a butter roll and coffee for breakfast. Had one every day!
Got a new job outside of Manhattan and Diabetes so that ended.
Sam- NY has some fantastic food…. 😃👍
Fantastic show and tell episode scout such a great segment brings back so many memories god bless take care 🇳🇿👌🏻🗽🪖🇺🇸🙏45
I remember the smell of the plastic thermos ...... I think with a chocolate drink in it , it used to taint the drink !! Great show John . Love the mix Moshe's . !!
And chocolate milk was a rare treat now the kids have sugared milk everyday.
As alway, Another great show, your a lot like me and when we go someone is going to have one hell of a garage sale.
BUTTERED ROLL BABY!! I used to work at an Italian bakery in town as a 16-yr old. Every Sunday morning I'd show up at 0100hrs and promptly put over 2,000 rolls (in batches) in the steamer/proofer. Then the owner Pat would bake them. On Sunday's we were permitted to take some stuff home for free, so I always took a dozen of the rolls for my family and make baconeggcheeseonaroll when I got home at about 9am. Great memories John, thanks for that!
I know you were a good baker by steaming the rolls! That’s the only way to get that perfect texture on certain bread or rolls. 😃👍
Looks like our back porch! We also have a family of racoons that come by from time to time. I always know when the racoons have been here because they clean every little piece of cat food out of the cracks and grooves of the floor!
They're a riot to watch. A buddy and I used to split a 6 pack of imported 'fancy' beer and sit in the Wood Lake shelter playing cards and when it got late enough here comes momma raccoon followed by all her babies in single file order behind her coming down to the water's edge.💙💛
I've been in that Leviton plant many times working on the bowls that fed all the parts of that switch, there fed into an assembly machine and they are great quality I done all electrical in my house using Leviton switches and outlets and have never had anything fail, great video as always and I always use the hook method
That is a sweet collection of Leatherman tools. I used to do custom leatherwork, and whenever a customer would order a pouch for a Leatherman I would wet mould the leather for that specific model. Which meant that whenever a customer ordered one that I didn't have in my collection, I would make them wait until I had bought that model to make sure it fit perfectly. It got expensive quickly. I am not sure how many I have, but only a shadow of your friends collection
Dad bought us mini bikes but my sisters weren’t as into it. Started out with a Yamaha 80 then a Kawasaki 90 and then my first 4 stroke was a Honda XR75. By the time I was a senior in high school, I had moved up to a 1975 Honda XL350 and I still have it.
I learned to ride on a XR75- The bike was glorious! 😃👍
That’s great, you had the same bike. Mine came with a Hooker Header exhaust pipe. It was the most obnoxiously loud mechanical device in town.
if I had to bring my lunch it was homemade bread wrap in a brown paper bag, got free hot lunches mostly...homemade bread BITD early 60's was very crumbly as it got old...still have PtsD from being that poor...great show, txs for sharing
Go to love a Leatherman! 🛠👍😊
I still have my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox I carried to elementary on the shelf in my office. Dug it out of my parents garage some years ago.
I lived in a small town with a population of 6000 and we went home for lunch. However when we did take a lunch we used a brown paper bag. Good segment on the light switches. I do have a couple of the flat switches and they seem to work well. Have a great weekend and Thank You for all you do 😃
old profile picture - look like the captain of a rugby team before the championship game - pretty macho.
Nice group of things there and love that lunch box 👍 Always ate buttered rolls too when we had good ones before all the bakeries closed near me
Lunch Box takes me Way, WAY back! All the way to my Gemini Space Capsule box. Yes, I even have the Thermos too.
Great Memories!
Bill I remember that box! That was awesome! 😃👍
Man the butter bread took me back as for the paddle switch I've had some good ones and I have had some go out right after installing them.
Always wanted a lunch box but all I had was the brown paper bag that you bought in packs. When I was out of high school someone bought me a plastic one from Stanley or some other company. I hated that worthless piece of junk, but I still have it to store things. I think they understood that there were kids that would have destroyed it as they were bullies and seemed to get a thrill out of it. Sometime I am going to buy me a new Stanley classic. I am not sure why, but I do pack a lunch when I go places. As to the light switch, I still use the hook but my son mostly uses the plug in wire feature. Hard to change how you were taught when you aren't doing the work regularly. I don't know if the nickle will be the lowest or it will be the dollar.
We have a lot in common. I never had one, either, but that was because my mom insisted my father buy the lunch meal tickets to have a HOT meal. I think they were like 45 cents at the time. When I did finally get a thermos one day I came home to my drying thermos and the glass liner was mysteriously broken. I think it was my sister and her hubby. They're stalkerish phuck-tards. I am going to get both of them oneday for all the drama and BS they have put me through.
I noticed you refrained from saying 'what kind of lunatic hasn't had cream cheese and jelly'.
A friend of mine actually restored some of the furniture in Evil's truck for the restoration of it. The Evil Knievil museum originated in Topeka Ks at Topeka Harley Davidson. Thanks for the videos.
That truck restoration is just fantastic!!! It was a basket case when they found it! 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter I have seen it in person.
I had that same lunchbox and thermos in the '70's. Very cool to see one again!
A good bagel with cream cheese and jelly is a treat for sure. Great mosh. Cheers
Blimey, those Eval Kineval lunch boxes are fantastic, we never had such things as I went to school on a small island in England and most of us lived just 5 mins or less from school so nipped home for the dinner hour, just like to say I really like the way you sometimes end the show with the animals which you feed🙂
Always a fan of Evel Knievel. In fact, my dad grew up with Evel and his brother back in Butte, MT, and actually bought his first car from the Knievel family.
As a kid in rural Kansas, breakfast was 1-2 pieces of toast, a big glass of whole milk, and often a very small glass of orange juice. Toast had just butter, butter & jam, or peanut butter. My mom worked as a nurse, so our bread was purchased from a neighbor who made fresh loaves almost daily. No. NY style bakeries in the country!
Nothing beats real bread.. 😃👍
Kids nowadays will never enjoy those old school lunch boxes. Great episode and now I have to try cream cheese and jelly.
I really like bagels but like tater chips, I can't just eat just one unless it'd be the size of a truck tire. Good stuff there. I try not to be hard on electrical stuff because it might just burn me out of house and home and I always ate inn the lunch room at school and the Army had plenty of C-rations. Happy weekend, John with upstate and the GF!
God Bless and Thanks!
get some 1000 grit black automotive wet sanding paper for contacts and as much as I like electrical tape the liquid stuff is way better as its waterproof. I keep reminding SC hoping he'll do a video about it. Plus you can get it in different colors... very important to us in electronics.
@@johnpossum556 I've had a can for YEARS and never cracked the lid open. I shy away from electrics if possible.
@@lewiemcneely9143 Knowledge is power.
Wow a mint Evel kneivel lunchbox, I remember the wind up toy bike.. and spinning it as fast as I could to jump the dinning room table.. 🤣!! great episode John , have a great weekend ! cheers Rob
I loved the Smash 'em Crash cars with that T handle and the one heavy wheel in the middle. I used to double stack the ramps and jump them. These were the ones that were meant to break apart and be put back together. Too bad that idea went the way of the planned obsolence.
@@johnpossum556 😆👍the good ol days
It’s amazing how you can remember the lunch box smell. Not pleasant in my book. Glass thermoses had replaceable liners. The milk story was funny. 😂 Cat watching the possum eat 😂. 🇺🇸
Pipes (the cat) loves that little opossum! 😍
@@ScoutCrafter Oh, opossum. I watched too much Andy Griffith.
Hi Scoutcrafter the switches and plugs you get here have little holes in back you can put the wires in as well as the screws you can wrap the wire around
I sure remember those steel school lunch boxes. This kid was being an idiot to me in Grade 2 during lunch time once. I clubbed him over the head with that thing. That solved my problem rather quickly. Plastic just doesn't have the same effect to it in that regard, and the cheap tabs were always broken off, just like those plastic cases hand drills are sold in now. Mom would wrap an elastic band around it to keep it closed.
What’s up John great Video love “Billy” the Penny collector baseball ⚾️ player - I have my picture of my Leatherman collection- I’m missing 3 total that’s it …. Germany had an auction I was in and I missed it because of time zone 😡 anyways looking forward to going to grab a Burger kido -- enjoy the Micra 👈🏼I have a RARE one for ya different model -- As we said “there’s a fine line between “ you know what I’m saying 👍🏼 Looking forward to the next video 😎 still studying the tap and die video 👍🏼 Also the buttered roll and coffee is 100% a New York thing : when there already prepped at 5 am and that cup of coffee you can’t beat it’s awesome ✅ ttys John
Thanks again for the trip down memory lane! Loved the light switch segment,too bad companies "cheap out" on products for the sake of profit. Thanks again!
Love a buttered roll. But it has to be a good roll with poppy seeds. Always need good bread! Thanks again.
I had the Fall Guy lunchbox and the Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox as a child. Wish i still had them
Buttered rolls must be a NY thing. Never heard of such a thing here on the West Coast.
Let us know which Leathermans your friend Al is missing. Maybe we can get his collection completed. Thanks for all the hard work on these videos.
We had a lunch box, same one year after year, after it wore out it was lunch bags and then eating at the school cafeteria. Elementary school must have been the clearing house for butter, white bread, and apple sauce; oh raisin pie too a cafeteria speciality, I do not think I could eat it today. The switches remind me of the fad in the 70’s with aluminum wiring in houses, until they started burning down, then out it goes.
I too eventually carried my lunch in a brown bag. We were older and boxes weren’t cool when you were in 7th grade. 😂👍
Hey John, I use to eat butter rolls all the time but they don't have them like they use to anymore. The last one I had was at the 7-11 down the street from me but about 10 years or so ago they stopped having them, and said that they didn't sell. I haven't thought about them for a while, but after this show I want one. Thanks - now I have to get one somewhere. lol
I grew up on kaiser rolls with butter, bagels with cream cheese, wonder bread with peanut butter and jelly, or cream cheese and jelly. The wonder bread bakery was around the corner and would sell the "day old" bread at 4 o'clock when the trucks came back in. They replaced the bread in the stores daily and they brought back to the bakery what didnt sell the day before! A quarter a loaf for the day old! Just as good as fresh! A lot of people today dont even count wonder bread as real bread! Lol! Do you remember using wet lumps of wonder bread , squeezed into a little ball as fish bait? I also remember how the jelly would ooze right through the bread and be on the top of the sandwich! Great memories of being a kid in Brooklyn! Have a great weekend, John!
Yes! I used to go out to Route 110 there was a Outlet store that sold “day old” Entenmann’s and Hostess and Wonder bread. .25 a loaf! Used to buy 6 or 8 loaves for the birds but they never went stale! 😂👍
@@ScoutCrafter I think I remember that and going there when I lived in Westbury and then later in Farmingdale.
Another great video. As a younger kid. I had A Roy Rogers lunch box. Also dual pistols.what memories. Never liked those rocker switches. Have a great weekend John. 👍👍❤...
Boy, several different comments on the same video! The box for your taps holds two propane tanks for your torch kit, I have the same one. On the lunch boxes, I had a Bonanza box in the day, I think I broke the thermos also. I agree the Decora switches are junk, but I have them throughout the house, they are easy to use, especially with your elbow when entering a room. Don't get us started on the door knob vs door lever debate!
TGIF, I hate this week...I need new week pls...Good profile photo...
Hi Scout.....I like your lunch box (I was a poor brown-bag-boy), so don't take this the wrong way but the position of that cloud on the side where he's riding the whely looks like a big old fart! Thanks for another Friday video to unwind with. Have a happy day 😊
Great video 👍 That Evel Knievel was a pretty great stunt man 🏍. What a heck of a entertainer. Remember the jump over 14 Greyhound buses 🚌 ? I think he cleared that one without getting hurt. What great information and demonstration of the inside workings of a SPST Rocker Switch or paddle switch. Those contacts were small but the thickness of them looked heavy duty so they should give you many years of service just like the regular toggle switch would. Those Leather Man Multi tools are nice and great to have. I have one of the original super tool that has the ruler on the handles, pliers ,two knives,bottle opener wire cutters ,screwdrivers, wire stripper etc... I first seen those Leatherman tools at Sears about 30 some years ago, and I think that’s where I bought mine at. They were a little expensive then and are still expensive but is a great little tool to have in vehicle or carry in your pocket. The Leatherman multi tool you got looks awesome. I like the red and blue handles. That would be great on your keychain 🔑. That pizza 🍕 you showed in the video looked mighty good . I liked seeing your 🐈⬛ cat watching that opossum 🦡 closely eating his dinner. What another great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in that night breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a fantastic weekend. 😃👍👍
Steven! 😃👍
Great job.hope you have a great weekend
Evil knievel was the man that’s for sure , looking back just destined for disaster with his big heavy bikes , but wow , entertainment - what a man ! Fantastic video scout , always love the old days , were you ever a clipper craft clothing guy ?
I never even heard of Clipper craft! Just looked them up- Nice stuff for sure! 😃👍
I’m just a DIYer and not an electrician!
If you have a really old switch or receptacle you will see that you can only use a flat blade screwdriver to make connections. A somewhat newer device will also allow the use of a phillips screwdriver. Today’s devices also allow the use of a third type, the #1 Robertson or square drive and the devices also have markings in French so they can be sold in Canada where the square drive is more common. (A circuit breaker will use a #2 Robertson.) I find the square drive the best to use because a square drive will definitely not torque out.
Most 1/4” bit driver sets also include square drive bits.
The new channel picture looks good, you do seem happier in this one. Yep I remember lining up our lunch boxes on the lines in the parking lot too.
LOL- I still think Lunchboxes are cool. 😂👍
John, I can't recall all the lunch boxes I had as a kid but I think one was "Planet of the Apes" and what a horrible sound that was if you broke the glass vessel in your Thermos 😞
I've told you before that I'm an electrician.
Loop the wire on the screw is always best.
The problem with the old style switches are the size of them. Older homes had less wiring in the switch and outlet boxes. Usually because they had a junction box in the basement or attic and spidered out from there.
Switch/outlet boxes today get pretty full of wires and splices and the proper box fill calculations need to be made depending on the cubic capacity of the box, wire size and quantity and device type. Not much fun if an inspector breaks your chops for being one over on box fill.
Get another decor/rocker style switch and put a load on it. When you turn it on and off you can see the "spark" through the rocker if you have a light colored switch. Many customers used to be afraid of that when you had a switch loaded with wattage from recessed lights before CF's and L.E.D. lamps.
When figuring out how much you can load up a circuit breaker you're only allowed to use 80% so a 15 amp C/B you don't want to exceed 1440 watts.
If you want some more fun with switches get a 3-way and a 4-way switch. I am always surprised at some of my "colleagues" on their lack of knowledge of how to wire them.
I don't wear my Leathermen tools anymore but they all are in strategic locations. I bought a Wave by accident a while back and the several PST II are in the truck and tackle box and I forget where else
A large cawfee and a buttered roll sound like the start of my day tomorrow. CAMA has a couple of things going on Saturday only (7/21).
Sorry for the long post
George
George- Thanks so much for the great info!!! 😃👍
Same here, people say I'm always angry... No, I'm just ugly.
Those paddle switches are really easy to operate with your elbow - you know, when you have a cup of coffee in one hand, and a buttered roll in the other?
I had a buttered roll yesterday for breakfast. It's still pretty common at the delis around me.
Talking about kids lunch boxes, there were some horrific adverts in the UK 25 years ago where the mother would steal the goodies from the lunch box, the beginning of the Me Me society, the opposite of the caring adverts Do you love someone enough to give them your last Rollo?
the old switches were rated for AC or DC current. The arc from breaking a DC circuit is much larger than AC. So, therefore the contact surface for an AC/DC snap switch must be larger to allow for the erosion due to the arcing
I never knew that! Thanks!!! 😃👍
The two Leatherman multi tools I like best is the wingman and wave
Fun video. I think I had a Davy Crockett lunch box back in the day.
Hints for the box of taps, dies, and drills you bought at the estate sale last week:
Keep an eye out for the plastic storage bins you often see at yard sales. Now use the label maker you bought (the greatest invention for old people ever made) and mark the drawers for the sizes of taps, etc. that you use. cover the labels with Scotch tape to keep the cheap Chinese replacement label cartridges you bought from coming off in a workshop's oily environment. If you don't have a particular size tap, etc., mark a drawer for it anyway. It will remind you to keep an eye out for the missing size and you won't keep hunting for something you don't have.
Avoid piling hardened tools loosely in a box. You have to dig every time you need a certain size and it isn't good to bang sharpened tools into each other.
Lastly, to keep the tools from rusting after you have gone to all the trouble to clean them up, go to your local motorcycle shop and get a spray can of control cable lubricant. Unlike WD-40, cable lube is light oil. One spritz and you can get oil onto a drawer full of taps, etc. This stuff works a treat on oiling large areas like angle plates, chucks, and other large tooling. PJ-1 is the brand of lube I usually see in the bike shops.
Cheers from NC/USA
Home Depot used to sell the polyethylene storage bins that were inexpensive and great- I can’t find them anymore. 🥴
Gotcha boo👍👍🔩🔩
Evil Knievel was my hero! I had motorcycles most of my early life. Got my license at 15 (legal), mostly rode on/off road bikes.
I was coming home from school on my bike, 1973 Honda XL 175., I had bought brand new, with my own money. The school bus had dropped off my neighbors, including two neighborhood girls I wanted to impress, who were about 75 yards ahead of me. I came around the corner and popped a wheelie in 2nd gear, shifted from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, all the while still on one wheel, shifted from 4th to 5th as I passed my friends, and the motorcycle left the ground, flipped over backwards, I'm guessing about 45 mph? Dented my gas tank, broke the handle bars, handle bar pointed one way and the front wheel the other, cracked my helmet, etc. You talk about embarrassed and hurt. Pushed my bike home. My dad was working in the carport. He looked at me, and said "how you doing Evil," and went on about his business. Went inside and my mom helped pick the rocks out of my legs, arms and cheek, and patched me up. I made an impression.
I had that same bike. Awesome ride. The wrecks we have teach us a lot. 😃👍
ScoutCrafter,
The contacts are even smaller than you indicated. Area is proportional to the radius squared. If the radius is half, then the area is 1/4.
Bob
I feel like drugs is only getting worse! I hear so many youngster talking about hard drugs and how fun it is.. Very scary, I would've been so receptive for that when I was younger myself. Happy to be a bit older now. Hope you'll have a great weekend!
When you are young and foolish, drugs seem like a harmless way to escape. For many people it is the beginning of the end.
@@ScoutCrafter Exactly how I feel.
Thiiiis was a awesome video
Remember the days at the deli- a buttered roll and coffee for a buck! But if you’re doing a bagel, nothing beats cream cheese and bacon on a toasted bagel. Try it if you haven’t. I put all my old taps and dies in a plastic box and covered them in mineral oil to preserve them. It also loosens all the crud on them so you can clean them up with a toothbrush. Thanks for another great episode.
I have never tried that combo. My favorite as a kid was cream cheese on anything with either green or black olive slices. This combo is especially good on a subway and I am surprised when Subway never includes cream cheese on any of their subs. They need A1 fror the steak subs, too.
@@johnpossum556 I always liked cream cheese too, but I'm telling you, you have to try with bacon on the bagel. Let me knowhow you like it.
Personally never had a decora fail on me yet, had a few old toggle ones fail, granted they were much much older. Also if you ever use a commercial decora they feel much more stout than the residential ones, they are rated for 20A at 277v. Also, cant imagine never having cream cheese and jelly!
I had the man from uncle lunch box and no matter how hard I tried not to break the glass in the thermos it bit the dust at least twice a year in grade school.
Butter was bad fer ya but now it's good fer ya.
About the switches, you have to realize electricity back in the old days was better, that's when 15 amps was really worth 15 amps now 15 amps is only worth about 10 amps .... LOL
9:56 Big Clive called and he wants his format back. I always prefer the J hook because I know the #s and connections are always where there are potential for eventual problems so I try to do it the best I can in the beginning to avoid the. I even added spark plug dieletric on my front light's bulb base to keep it corrosion free longer.
We didn't have tin lunch-boxes we had Tupperware (also early seventies) and the drinks bottles always leaked so your sandwiches were always damp and tasted of fruit squash !
The town I lived in as a kid was home to Thermos in the UK, all gone now and replaced by a supermarket !
I know what your Dad meant about worry, we seem to have moved straight from worrying about our 20-somethings to worrying about our 80-somethings never a dull moment if you care for your family !
Me, I love a buttered roll, and Cream cheese and Jam, particularly blackcurrant ! Have you ever had a traditional British "Cream Tea" - Scone with Butter, Jam & Clotted Cream ?
Clotted cream? I looked it up it looks yummy! Never had it. Scones are fabulous though. 😃👍
I knew you were tough but drinking glass? 😂🥛🐮
I sifted it through my teeth. 🫣
Speaking of sandwiches,have you ever had my favorite...peanut butter and green olive( with palmentoes of course).
I can't remember any specific lunch box that I might have had. I don't think we couldn't afford lunch boxes, so we had the brown paper bag.
