Been quiet on this side.....

**Ray1936** · July-05-10, 06:55 PM

....so just wanted to say if you're ever in Las Vegas and you get behind this car, honk and say hi to Ray1936!

LodgeDodger · July-05-10, 09:05 PM

Jeepers! Nothing like wearing your "D" on your sleeve. ;-)

**Lowell** · July-05-10, 09:53 PM

What? No love for the Lions? This is their year and so far their undefeated.

**Ray1936** · July-05-10, 10:03 PM

Not showing in the photo, Lowell, is an antenna ball wearing a football helmet with the Lions' logo on same.

**sumas** · July-06-10, 04:56 AM

Hope you are wearing a Tigers' cap.

Ravine · July-06-10, 05:11 AM

Yeah, Ray, because that big Olde English "D" on your rear window could, like, mean pretty much anything, don'tcha know.

Michigan · July-06-10, 08:52 AM

If you really meant it you have it tattooed on your forehead.

Retroit · July-06-10, 09:19 AM

You've got a bee on your car.

**jcole** · July-06-10, 10:13 AM

No love for the for the gym floor? Where is the Pistons' logo, under the drip pan?

**Ragtoplover59** · July-06-10, 12:24 PM

No kidding jcole, all the love shown for sports and with the past job, I would have thought I'd be seeing some P.A.L logo hanging somewhere in the background?

Ray, love how your "man cave" is a home away from home!

**sumas** · July-07-10, 05:37 AM

I never heard the term "man cave" for a garage. Too funny and very true.

**Ray1936** · July-07-10, 12:18 PM

Notice the folding lawn chair propped against the shelves. First thing I do every morning is go there with my coffee and read the morning newspaper. The view looking down the street [[I'm at the top of a "T" intersection) is beautiful and mesmerizing; gazing at Mt Charleston 40 miles to the NW. [[Photo w/telephoto lens)

Yeah, Man Cave is probably accurate.

**Johnlodge** · July-07-10, 01:12 PM

Does that TV work without a converter box?

**gnome** · July-07-10, 02:11 PM

This one tidy ManCave ... one can see a lot by looking
1, Battleship gray painted floor, latex gloss, freshly painted this spring
2, Stack of old Playboys organized on the bottom shelf
3, craftsman tools in all their correct places
4, old tv re-purposed to bring in mexican tv soap operas
5, chair selected for its ease in opening one-handed while holding a coffee mug
6, unusual leafy trees in front of house

**jcole** · July-07-10, 02:38 PM

And Stan and Ollie on the wall next to that DPD sign.

**Pam** · July-07-10, 03:08 PM

I've heard the stuff they find described as "man-tiques".

It doesn't. But it does have a converter box, so it does.

**Ray1936** · July-07-10, 03:57 PM

Actually, epoxy, painted four years ago. But hosed off and scrubbed down couple times a year.

2, Stack of old Playboys organized on the bottom shelf.

Looks like it, but actually it's a stack of old license plates.

3, craftsman tools in all their correct places

Nearly 100% on that one, tho not all are Craftsman.

4, old tv re-purposed to bring in mexican tv soap operas

Funny thing is I can only get one channel [[CBS outlet) on the rabbit ears it's hooked to, due to being in the foothills of a mountain range and having no line of sight with the other channels.

5, chair selected for its ease in opening one-handed while holding a coffee mug

100% right!

6, unusual leafy trees in front of house

Oh, we have trees out here. Only I think the tallest one is about eight feet in height.......

**gnome** · July-07-10, 07:15 PM

Judging from the angle of the sun, I'd guess that you took that pic about 10 in the morning.

Other guesses ...

gas hot water
150 amp electric service

very tidy

Thanks. Nope, about 4 p.m., as I recall. My garage faces roughly northwest, so that's the afternoon sun coming in. Other two guesses are right on. You guys are good!

**Ragtoplover59** · July-07-10, 08:04 PM

Other guesses ...

Proud to be an American............"ManCave" sporting a Flag both inside and out!

checkraisej · July-07-10, 09:36 PM

Stack of unsolved crimes in manila envelopes?

Of course! [[It was the 4th of July when I took the photo. Usually I just fly a decorative flag except on holidays).

Ah! Good eye! Nope, the seasonal flags mentioned above. Thomas Kincaid stuff that the wife likes. Father's day, Summer, St. Pat's day, stuff like that. The oddball holidays.
