The morning ritual. They want animal crackers. That door was shut. The big guy can open it.

I have a friend that built up a 33 Ford Sedan and he told me that when he first got the car it had a bullet hole on the right side just before the door ..this is his car that did look a whole like The Bonnie and Clyde stolen car

Yep,, I think it is the same car that is rented out to different casinos and places for a sum of money..

Here is what I found on it ,,and it does not mention the place I seen it at Truckee California about 4-5 years ago. ??

Peter Simon II
The death car again changed its owner in 1977 when Toddy sold it for $175,000 ($725,000 in today's worth) to Peter Simon II, who displayed it at his casino Pop's Oasis in Nevada. About ten years later, the casino closed and he sold the car to the owners of Whiskey Pete's Hotel and Casino in Primm, Nevada.May 23, 2017

**leddzepp** · 12-01-2020, 03:18 PM

Yep, I took those pics at Whiskey Pete’s last summer

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-01-2020, 08:04 PM

I saw the car at whiskey Pete's, it matches the the historic pictures. So I think it's the real car. My .02 for whatever it's worth.

Our folks gave us a couple of badminton racquets and let us go "bee hunting". Here's a pic of our little fire pit.

That would be fun. The bees are pretty good size down in GA.

Man that pit is hot! You melt Aluminum in there?

We have those too, big black ones. They can cause a lot of damage to trees and buildings.

1/2" hole in the side @ 45* and a 3/4" hole up from the bottom. I'm not sure how great they work. They say hang them every 10'. I got only one in and it definitely was trapped. Not long after I put them up I noticed they weren't buzzing and hovering around so much. I never noticed before, but I guess they only do what they do for a limited time and I came with the traps a little late. I have 6 more jars to have 12 for next year. We'll see how they work when I get them up next spring

45* up or down toward the jar? Thanks, I'm going to try it.....

Up. They craw up and fall into the jar. I do get them in my cedar but they are just as bad in the pine, hemlock, fir, and poplar.

I like to smack them down, then stomp them. Smacking them down dazes them for a moment, then it's buzz away like nothing happened.

**Stocker** · 12-04-2020, 02:45 PM

I have had lots of carpenter bees most years, strangely very few this year. They mostly chew into cedar; I've never seen traps like that before and I wonder if they might be more effective if they were made with cedar?

The bees are tough -- I have used an electric flyswatter on them, knocked them down in a shower of sparks, and watched them get up & fly away. I have also sprayed them with sticky bicycle chain lube in their holes. It works sometimes.

**special-K** · 12-05-2020, 12:32 PM

I grew up with black & white TV. That test pattern, flecked background, and wasn't there a high pitch sound signal as well? Maybe that was when it first came on a while, then just static. That symbol was like a target. I seem to recall the whole thing was kinda scary. Like the world came to an end

. I also grew up during the cold war, so grew up knowing the threat of nuclear attack. Wake up on the couch in the wee wee hours to that screen and, "AHhhhh!!!! We've been nuked!!

Very funny Boog. No, it has four mice! I'm pretty sure it has whatever engine they put in Crosley cars, which I believe was a small 4-banger, like around 800-1000cc.

I just checked into it. After WWII they used the military 4cyl with double the pre-war HP. It has 26.5hp!!! The cars got 35 mpg
