New Categories and The Age of the Buffalo

I just like putting up new pictures on the topics page. 4 new categories, Coin Collecting, Linux, Military, and Chess. If I sound like I have a boring life, well, too bad. I like my hobbies.

I now have American nickels of one type or another that date back all the way to 1883. I received a well-worn set of 20 Buffalo nickels in the mail today from an eBay auction.

I can highly suggest that if your u-joints are going out, you have them replaced. A broken transmission shaft can ruin your day, especially if it breaks while travelling at anything above 10 miles an hour down the road. Not that I speak from experience, mind you. It's just that a broken shaft can make you very unpopular with the Department of Transportation, who has to fix the trench you dragged into their newly paved asphalt.
