Members Sheilajeanne Posted July 17, 2023 Members Report Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Fred, here's how to make sure you never loose your glasses again! Let's hear it for Command Hooks (name brand)... A friend of mine used to have a Z28! Unfortunately, she lived in a large apartment complex where thieves were constantly targeting the cars in the parking garage. She had the sound system stolen out of the car, and they tried to take the tires one time, too, but guess they got scared off by security. Needless to say, she had an alarm system put in the car after the sound system was stolen, but it wasn't rigged to go off if someone was trying to steal the tires! When I first got married, I briefly lived in the same area (Thorncliffe Park, Toronto) and couldn't WAIT to move elsewhere!! Too many people, too much traffic. Love where I live now, where traffic jams are due to farm vehicles on the road. Edited July 17, 2023 by Sheilajeanne Quote

Members Sheilajeanne Posted July 17, 2023 Members Report Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I was able to buy a six pack at Canadian Tire, and still have most of them. I might find the missing ones if I check the couch cushions or under the seats in my car... The only ones I've had to replace recently were the extra strong ones I use for stitching. The plastic frames just don't last. I wonder if they are sensitive to the sun? The pair I had on the dining table just seemed to crack for no reason, and that table does get a fair bit of sun in the spring and fall. The six pack were all black metal frames, so we're good... I had one pair that had the puppy chew off one of the nose pads, and the plastic ear covers, and scratch the lenses up pretty badly. Do you think I could ever loose that pair?? No, it was always the expensive ones with the metal case that I'd buy to put in my purse! I think a lens finally popped out on the damaged pair, and I gave them the heave-ho.

Contributing Member fredk Posted July 19, 2023 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 19, 2023 I thought I'd share this with you. Clearing and sorting some boxes in my leather work room I re-found this Several years ago #1 son and I were tasked with clearing a rental storage unit. Amongst all the things we discovered was this holster. The previous renter had been in the Royal Ulster Constabulary aka RUC. The RUC was always armed with regulation issued firearms whilst on duty but this was for his Personal Protection Weapon, his PPW, for when he was off duty. The reverse side is stamped; Ruger Speed 6 2/91 I suppose this is the sort of pistol it was made for Remember; I did NOT make this. I found it Its still in relatively good condition considering it hasn't been used or looked after since about 2010, or maybe even earlier. But I think it could now do with some NFO Anyone want to discuss it? its style, the belt slots et cetera Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
