Talking about licorice how many remember licorice candy?.. For some reason Jim Beam has a licorice taste to me,, Brings back some old memories, My older brother (6) and myself (5 year old) would walk to a local country store and get a gallon of coal oil for the lanterns,, we had no electricity,, not that I am whining,, I like walking around in the dark stepping on things that squealed,, But to the real memories,,
We would be given a dime to pay for the oil.. That cost seven cents a gallon,, that was back before the federal government was trying to balance the budget on the back of the smokers, drinkers and truckers.. which in some cases was the same person,,
Anyway we would have three cents left,, which was our for walking three miles round trip.. We would invest it all in licorice or lick wick not sure how to sell it.. I just remember how it tasted,, like Jim Beam,, So every time I have a drink of Jim I will think of WALKING THREE MILES IN THE COLD BAREFOOTED JUST FOR SOME DARN LICORICE.. Have a nice day..Lou

The only product Lowe's has in stock in 1 inch is the wafer board, which I am replacing.

Well, we were driving by CVS and my wife suggested I get a flu shot since I was such a wimp when I get the flu. I told her I would if she could re-phrase what she just said. She then said I was prone to severe symptoms. I am now vaccinated.
Flu season is from October to May with the season peaking in January and February. The flu shot is effective 2 weeks after the shot. Now at least I protected from 3-4 viruses of the hundreds of flues viruses out there. Oh, it was free (with ins.) and I got a 20% off coupon for in-store merchandise which my wife has already used.

I have seen full one inch T&G decking boards of pine/spruce/fir for cabin floors and I have also seen full one inch plywood that was T & G and also for cabin floors. Both were for applications where no sub-floor would be applied over them. This may be a regional thing for the North but I saw it from Maine to Ohio at lumber yards. A big-box store probably wouldn't have it because of insufficient demand.
Also, when I was in a spot similar to that I got my spacing by using two sheets of plywood that equaled one inch. It was a little more work and wasn't exactly the full one inch but it was close enough to work for me.

So Karen is also prone to "severe shopping symptoms"? So is Kathy. Give her a Bealls coupon and she will use it before the sun sets.

Woohoo! Passed the flight physical with "Flying Colors", (pun intended!). Vision is still great. I have 20/15 in my right eye, and 20/20 in the left. Actually, I could read half of the 20/15 lines with the left eye, so is technically a weak 20/15, but is on paperwork as 20/20, so NO RESTRICTIONS, like glasses. Heart is good! And I was pretty proud of the fact that I am within 5 pounds of the weight I was in the J-3 photos!
Life is good, when you are going on 29!!!! Yahooooo!
Lou; I like licorice candy!
TXDon; That flu season is nationwide. By March, it is waning around Texas. Oct-May is farther north, but we are back outdoors and not indoor confined here, a lot earlier inthe year. Glad your wife got the coupon and had fun! But you can tell her, I think ALL guys are wimps when they get sick! :laughing:
