Justin,

I may have to see if WD40 or Liquid Wrench will do the trick.

Just hold the bottle cap under hot running water for a few minutes.

It should loosen right up.

Have fun,
Phil

Justin and Ksquared...

Drive In movie...we even went to them back in our school days. There were actually a couple still left. " Lots of Outdoor Adventures there"...LOL, you think like the rest of us. Have to agree...PLENTY of them FUN Type Outdoor Adventures, for sure! There are still plenty of carhop drive-in burger n shake places around. But, not quite like it was back in the 50's & 60's according to everything I've seen and read. There are a few places in San Antonio that car clubs still have weekend gatherings at. One Friday night it may be T-Bucket and Roadster night, the next Friday night it may be 3 & 5 Window coup and 40 and older Sedan night. The next Friday night it might be Corvette and T-Bird night and another may be Harley night. Another may be 4x4 Off-Road night.These guys and gals really sink a lot of time and money into these beautiful cars.

With all the crap going on these days with gangs and drive by shootings and hard nosed drugs, I would love it if we could get back to the simpler 'Happy Days' way of life. Back then it seems like everyone could trust their neighbors. Nowadays you hear about people having to lock their homes up like it was a prison. I say get rid of all the terrorists and gang bangers. Time to take our country back.

I enjoy your posts, Justin. You and Ksquared should write a book together the way both of you seem to be in lock step with everything and the fact that both of you are such good writers.

Now that's some intense manual labor. I'd never make it in that heat. I passed out on the line one time when I was stationed where the air conditioning was out. Working on the bend of a belt... wham down for the count. BP dropped so far they wondered if I was dead... LOL. I'm exaggerating... I did pass out though.

I was at the top of the rehire list for my manual dexterity (couldn't prove it by the way I'm typing now). Got a piece of cake job for three weeks one time because I was the only one who could put 20 Visine boxes at a time in a display "deal"... A picture of me doing it made the company magazine. It was a story on the college help they used.

They spread the boxes out (normally they come down back to back) and I had quite an audience while they did the shoot. After every one cleared out, one of the efficiency experts came over to chat... I picked up my twenty and they went flying! He started laughing... "that would have bee the shot..." I only lost my grip on them that one time. <ggg>

They gave me the photo after it was published. It's around here somewhere.

The drive-in... I worked in the box office not the back row. I was a good girl in the early years (heavily repressed by my parents). As my mother put it after I got through at UofM... "You were a nice girl until you went to that school. That school ruined you." ;-)

Hi Karate was indeed a men's cologne... The TV ad was some Karate cat slicing limes on a conveyor belt with a hand chop. The ad was a lie. <g> Black Belt was also a men's cologne... one of the more offensive scents. Last year, I was visiting one of my college friends who knew my summer job history and my loathing of "scent" in particular Black Belt.

I thought he smelled familiar. I asked him what he was wearing. He beamed and named some designer odor. I said, "Oh. It smells like Black Belt." Wish I had a picture of the look on his face. I think that's the first time an expensive perfume was modelled after a cheap one.

I do not remember the smell of English Leather.

I'm old to enough to think the best smelling men on the planet wear Old Spice. :-)
