Just not feeling it this AM, but duty calls ("duty" in this case being able to continue paying the bills). Bye.

Two sets of Dremel motor brushes to see if I can come up with a set that will work in my older one... Interestingly, the carbon parts are shorter than the worn out ones that came out of it.

When your corporate philosophy favors growth rather than staying as a niche builder of great sports cars, that's what you get. As a Porsche owner/enthusiast for many decades, I thought it was funny the other day when one of the guys I work with mentioned the Porsche in the shop that I hadn't noticed was there. "How can this be?" says I to myself. So I go in search of it and low and behold, a newish Cayenne with deer remnants stuck in its teeth. Meh. Porsche? Looks like just another bloated hippo-inspired mommy-wagon to me. EDIT: With $8000 headlights...each! Yeah, I'm sure it'll blow the doors off my old 911 in a straight line. And you can have it.

Clean, clean, clean. Very nice. Always one of my favorite kits, and this build shows why.

Fun is in the eye of the beholder.

Today was pretty good, but I'm glad the work part is over...or will be as soon as I do another hour on the DeLorean panel on the bench.

More than I can count, mostly because I ran up against something I needed to research further, something I needed to develop a little more skill to tackle successfully, and most recently just a lack of time and motivation due to real life getting in the way. Probaballly, maybelly, get back in the groove over the long weekend coming up.

Today I may have a burger for dinner, 'cause I have a coupon, and I love spending twice as much on a burger with a half-price coupon as it would cost to make a better burger at home.

Yup, my mirror has been going bad like that for the last few years. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

I used to really like candy corn too, but the last no-name version I had was like a mixture of sugar and wax, and it kinda put me off of it. I was tempted to buy half-price candy after Halloween, but I would have eaten it all by now and gained another 10 pounds.

Preach it, brother.

I want an APC.

Kit is watcher call a baby fox, and several baby foxes are in a litter, but that's not kitty litter.

The definition of either insanity or stupidity (you pick): doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.

Photos at the link below should get you pretty close to a stock chassis and suspension setup. It's a pickup with the OEM flathead 4-banger and what looks like mostly original underpinnings. https://www.smokymountaintraders.com/cars-for-sale/5/1940-willys-overland-pickup EXAMPLES:
