Forest Park OH location....no 57 Chevy sedan or wagon. Plenty of 69 Camaros, Lamborghini Diablo, couple of the Wacky Racer and the 1/32 semi trailers.

Took three sizeable boxes of blankets, bath towels and wash clothes to the shelter. The county shelter that I adopted Riley from runs is rural and runs completely on donations. I got talking with the reception desk showing the transformation she has gone through. I turned around the wife already left the building going back out to the truck. When we were in route, she told me we're not adding another dog...and then she leaves me inside unattended!

I didn't drive one in Vegas but my oldest gave me a Driving Experience locally. I went with the Ferrari 430. Almost tested the Scotchguard on the seats as the ride along employee told me to put the petal to the floor. He meant roll into it.....I heard stab/steer. I wasn't expecting that much power and immediate throttle response. They let my almost teenager (at that time) sit behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Gallardo.

Toy show last weekend. The gentleman had a handful of built models and parts kits that someone made slot cars out of the bodies. This looked 1/25-ish made by Ideal. It was $10

Exotic car show Saturday night. Gold plated caliper.

Witness relocation program.....off the grid!! Go home and grab my two dogs (the dachshund is the wife's problem child) and out faster than the fat kid in dodgeball!!!

Picture plagerized from eBay. Grabbed an extra to trade off.... P

So since our Dr left the office we saw a new Dr at another office within the same organization. My wife is a nurse and my interpreter on medical terms or to what level I' screwed. I swear it was like watching a tennis match them two going back and forth like I'm not in the room. While I got the A1C down from down from 9.9 to 7.7, it's crept up to 8.3. WTH....No Doritos...no peanut butter cookies.....no pop. She's keeping me on the Metformin, but switching to extended release which more people seem to tolerate {read as less explosive diarrhea}. I also get one of the injectable meds too. Thankfully I married into the medical field as I had so many allergy shots as a kid I don't do needles! On the plus side, my BP actually read low for one in....ever. So we know those meds are working well. My mom died of a massive stroke in 2007 as she had high BP but never took the meds and tossed them I her dresser. I have a lesson close to my heart to do what the Dr says. Showing my age here but growing up one of my favorite bands was Molly Hatchet. Lead singer Danny Joe Brown left the band and came back a few years later but he passed of complications of diabetes. Just wasn't the same with the new lead and can remember how it impacted my music choice at that time. It really stuck with me....

Auto Scape - Sealed inside/complete including platform and background. Toy store find Porsche 928 - F/S. Auction win. Didn't need it but couldn't pass a sealed version. Last two pic....Louisville show a few weeks ago. Doubt we'll ever seen the Shock Wave issued since the death of the driver

Dr called in an Rx for pain med at 9a today until she can get in to see the neurologist. Walgreen's having no sense of urgency sends her a text at 2p it's ready. By the time I get Frank (dachshund) in his crate and a few other things its 2:20p so I make the ten minutes drive. One car ahead of me in the drive through (judging by the number cars in the parking lot it would be too peoplely inside). Few minutes later, I roll up....."Oh we're just finishing it up, should be another 5-10 minutes" Seriously? I told the young lady its no problem, put the car in park, put the tinted window back up and turned the stereo back on! I'm not driving around or going to do something as you texted her 30 plus minutes ago. About 90 seconds later, oh look the little ray of sunshine is back with my Rx. Wow...I seriously just channeled my father on this one! I still have a pact with a neighbor that if either of us catch the other mowing the grass in black socks and sandals, just take that person out! No warning shot!!

All F/S auction win...

Went to the lab to get my blood drawn for a twice a year check up. We went to an office on the East side but the Nurse Practioner left that office when the Dr she was practicing under retired. Until they got a replacement NP, they had floaters covering the office. Once they were drawn, they said a new set of orders were put in place for the next appointment. I show up and there's no orders......WTH?!?!?! I call the Dr office and they said that since I'm seeing a different NP, they would have to put in the orders not knowing what they want to check. Well......I didn't always see the primary NP at the former office yeah visit so since its all the same organization, not sure why this is different? I'm on blood pressure meds as well as A1C meds...maybe test for at least those??? She started making excuses again and I told her 'incompetance....total and complete incompetance!" and hung up. Two other times, that office forgot to tell me to fast before my visits so they couldn't run some of the tests. Last time, the NP asked me why and I told her to go ask Tanya at the front desk as I even asked if I needed to and she said I didn't have to.

I kept kicking myself over not grabbing the Cutlass last time and was fairly sure it wouldn't be there on my next pilgrimage.....I was wrong!

2026 Matchbox. Wish someone would 3D print the step side bed for this kit

It's keeping the Airflow company for now while I decide the custom route. Only missing the bumpers (front & back)
