Agreed............the power supply for my laptop went bad and I've been unable to change it. Fortunately, Nancy bought me a new iPod to replace my old one so I've been logging in occasionally through that. I just got my new power supply, so I'll be looking for a new avatar!

I've been a "Lone Ranger" fan for decades. He has always been one of my favorite hero's .
Here's some of the latest news about the new movie.

Here's a cool Lone Ranger pen set I picked up long ago. The 3 pens are in the shape of silver bullets, and they are kept in a real leather cartridge holder that attaches to your belt. Leather belt holder has LR and Tonto images tooled into it....very cool box too!   Buddy

Wow! That set looks to be from the 1940's. The drawing of the Lone Ranger looks nothing like either the comic strip rendition or Clayton Moore.

Yea Hep, 1947.....Buddy

Here's my Wheaties Lone Ranger poster from 1957. This sucker measures 25'x75'.....yep, 6'3" tall! I've got him in a box for safe keeping. I want to linen-back him someday.....if I ever find someone who knows how to do that in my area........Buddy

[bigbud]

Got Tonto too! It kills me I can't find a cool way to display these two poster, but tacks and tape don't work for me anymore.............Buddy

[Hepcat]

How about doubling up Scotch removable tape on the back or stick tack?

 

[Scatter]

Bud, those are outrageously cool!!

Custom framing might be the way to go. It'll also help preserve them better, Buddy.

Yea, I kinda thought of laying them on a backing board and putting  plexi-glass over em. Might help to take out the fold wrinkles too.     Buddy
