It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it's what you leave behind you when you go.

Some folks be believin' that

... and now we're both irked 🤪

What men want is not talent, it is purpose; not the power to achieve, but will to labor. I believe that labor judiciously and continuously applied becomes genius. -bulwer

Knowledge is more than equivalent to force. The master of mechanics laughs at strength. -Johnson

Looks good; maybe some minor trimming? 😜

Do the right thing. It will gratify some and astonish the rest.

Looks like he did just what his bumper sticker told him to do...

Independently forming your own opinions is becoming anathema to the crowds, making your life an act of rebellion.

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. -Franklin

Design that is best is the simplest one that works.

The gem can not be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

My struggle too, and motivation seems to fluctuate with the weather at times. A short window of good weather ended up kinda wasted.

Getting what we don't deserve is grace; not getting what we do deserve is mercy.

Anticipated a productive weekend finishing up a couple of projects before the cold weather hits but didn't quite get there. The starter died on an old mustang I've been working on and I had one brought up from the nearest wreckers on friday while I was at work. Having dealt with this wrecker for years, I was not expecting any problems and foolishly bolted it on yesterday without doing my usual operational double check. Dummy, dummy, dummy. Didn't work, so I pulled it off and opened it up; lo and behold, it was full of water and grease from when one of their chimps pressure washed it and, of course, didn't bench test it. Stripped it down, cleaned it out, sanded the armature lightly and reassembled it. Still no go. 73 bucks out of pocket, two dead starters and a few hours wasted, and creative flow gone to heck 🤪

Ability is a poor man's wealth.

Nice to finally see more accurate scale renditions of this truck series showing up (3D) to justify the time and expense involved in building one

Days that are good bring happiness and days that are bad bring experience.

No one needs our roses when the sun of life's gone down, if you're going to send a message of love, send it now... (paul overstreet)

Later sometimes becomes never... do it now

Looks like it may have roots in the the old revell custom van molds. The wheel and tire combo is kinda appealing.

So much for our half dozen weeks of nice warm weather... beautiful sunny morning and 65 until about two, then the cool stuff moved in and it's adios to the warmth for a while. Kind of a strange pattern but it's that time of year when anything can happen and we're used to the 'wait five minutes, it'll change'.
