Dayum. Might be dreaming/de ja vu (likely in lurk mode, with the
occasional post under a different nom de plume in those days) but I
do believe I remember that original post.
How time does not stand still ...
With all due respect to Ian Anderson, as long as we're Living In The
Past...
Back in the late 70's I hung out at a club on Long Island (NY) that
used to be a bowling alley. The owners were DIY kind of guys and they
cut up many the old lanes into various lengths and turned them into
tables and bars. Small squares for an intimate group, long lengths
for parties (and the bars). If I recall correctly, the tables were
pretty darn heavy.
Back a little further, in the '60s, my Dad found a shuffleboard tabletop
on the beach, perhaps in the trash outside the club. Never one to abide
something potentially useful going to waste, he managed to wrestle it
into the car and bring it home. I was very little, and can only remember
the story from having been told, but it was apparently in pretty rough
shape. I suspect this is the reason he got a belt sander.
That top, sanded and refinished, started its second life as the bar in
our basement. My Dad would hold court with the neighbors from behind it
on many a weekend evening.
