Y'all have a nice beginning to the summer. I won't be posting for about a month as I'm heading up the coast in the sailboat for our annual 4 week cruise.
Leaving tomorrow.
Yipp-eeee!!! ;D ;D :P :P
Have a great trip!
Hope the weather is better than it's been around here lately.
Fair winds and following seas...

I could never take 4 weeks off In season when I was in new Hampshire

That's about four years worth of vacation time for me! Enjoy it for me!
Nice July? I'm still just trying to get outta June!
Happy sails to you, until we meet again.
Happy sails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Wow gene;
You're a poet and didn't know it!
Thanks all; talk to ya later...
Howard; safe journey,enjoy.
Gene; you're dating yourself :D , Wasn't that and old Gene Autry (sp) standard. Or was it Tex ridder?
Audry? Ridder? How about Roy Rogers and his most famous, really famous, but obviously not so famous north of the border (USA border, that is), Happy Trails!!!
I took the "Tr" and replaced it with an "S". Get it? Happy Sails!
Do you remember Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger? When Trigger died, Roy had Trigger stuffed and put in his house. I wonder if he put fake horse poop on the floor to make it look more real?
Do you remember Roy Rogers and his wife Dale Evans? Roy wanted to have Dale stuffed, but he was not allowed to. The main objection he got was that Dale was still alive.

Autrey, I think. When I was a kid, the movie came on the Thursday mailboat and we'd watch it on Friday night at the yacht club (I'll describe it to you guys one day -let's just say we sat in lawn chairs and watched it on a cement block wall that was painted white). And the highlight of these movies was the 20 minute "serial" that played before the main feature. I've seen dozens of Gene Autrey (and Trigger) serials, not to mention the Lone Ranger, Buck Rogers, and others. Boy does this thread bring back memories. I thought he had Trigger buried on his feet with saddle and bridle on. Never heard about him having him stuffed.

I'm pretty sure both Trigger and the horse that Dale Evans rode are both stuffed and in the museum, along with Bullet, their dog. (German Shepherd, I think). And it was Roy that sang, "Happy Trails"... along with "Here Comes Santa Clause"... lol.
I thought Gene Autry rode Champ.
Boyoboy are we all dating ourselves as I too remember those western serial along with Hopalong Cassidy,Sugerfoot, et al. Rene
Sound like a good time as a kid june. Reminds me of drive in movies as a kid in pajamas plating on the swings before the movie or playing with the neighborhood kids and some yelled hey batmans comming on and we all rAn. Into our houses
Yup! Trigger, Trigger Jr. and the dog Bullet were stuffed and in the museum in Victorville, CA
I was there a whole bunch of years ago. It's closed now and I understand they moved the museum to Branson, MO.
Here's a video of the place in California. They left out the silver dollar encrusted Cadillac though.

You're dead right. I guess I was having a brain freeze. He was the most watched of the lot and I completely forgot about him and Dale. Now I have to go scrape the rest of this egg out of my handlebar mustache. They say the memory is the second thing to go , right after.....what ever the other thing is.
I hope this doesn't offend; but once saw a really funny cartoon caption. A cowboy is dragging a horse be the halter,the horse is standing on a flat cart. The caption reads " Roy Rogers pulling his trigger"

When Sheila and I were kids, Dad put up a forty foot all channel antenae and we got all three channels available in rural Manitoba: CBC (canada bradcast system) english,CBC french, and snow LOL. Later CKND (local tv from Winnipeg).
One of my jobs while I was in school was as a projectionist at the local theatre ( Turs/Fri night with a new feature Sat). We had two lamps that ran on a carbon arc light provide by converted dc power and two carbon rods tha had to be re-alighned and maintaind through out the entire 5-6 reels of a movie.If you've ever watched an old movie ( say TCN) you'll see balck dots pop up in the top right corner of the pictue . At the first one you sparked up the other projector,and then 10 seconds later you switched over to that projector at the next dot and cooled the first one down as you manually rewound that reel for the next showing and fiddled with the alighnment of the two carbon rods.
Who was it sang that we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun--but the wine and the song, like the seasons are all gone? Susan Jack? I wouldn't trade my upbringing for what my neice/nephew's school mates have. Raised on Barney videos,play station, and a microwave; most can't do much more than wash their hands and lord help us if the power goes out. They'd never figure out how to read a book or plant a garden,much less do any work.

Someone named Terry Jacks did it, not sure what album also the Kingston Trio
from the Time to Think album. ;-) I have all the lyrics if you want them!
Enough already! This thread has gone on long enough. It's like beating a dead horse. LOL (I really crack myself up sometimes.)
