oldnslow Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Well , it's the 4th week of 80 degree weather and the garden in taking shape . Planted tomatoes ( 3 kinds ) , bell pepper , banana pepper , yellow sweet corn , egg plant , red serrano pepper , basil , cilantro , parsley , dill , celery , spinach ,( lemon & lime trees from last year ), and cucumber . When it all starts to bear fruit I'm going to be busy , but happy. Start going to ball games again tonight , local mixed league , and really enjoying the outdoor season .

iamsuperdan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Got some build time in last night with princess. Her stuffed unicorn assisted. Some of you may remember the '56 Chev I posted up that she built previously. This Jeep continues the out of the box thinking! Pretty proud of that.

peter31a Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wow! Look at that concentration, no doubt aided by the unicorn. I'm sure she will look back fondly, years from now, about building models with you. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great Vince, as I have a 4 1/2 year old grandson that I play Hot Wheels with, and maybe when he's about six years old I'll try to introduce him to model car building. Whether he takes to it or not I really don't care as it is MY hobby that I had started back in the mid-50's and still enjoy it today.

Yea he has been playing with snap stuff and we went hobby shopping and since I'm building military now that's what he wants to do too. We found an old monogram 1/48 Huey helicopter he just had to have and for $5 he had a thousand dollars worth of fun he glued and painted for the first time not the prettiest but he's prouder than a peacock that he did it him self! Took me an hour to cleanup the paint off the table (wife wasn't happy) but hey no big deal he had fun!!! Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The model car club I belong to, Florida Auto & Scale Trucks FAST, did a model display at the Marion County Tax Collector car show today. Nine of us showed up to erect our canopy, sign, tables, and put out our wares. We also got to enjoy looking at the 1:1 cars in the sunny 85 degree day. here's a Photobucket link that I hope works. http://s1130.photobucket.com/user/FLAFAST2011/library/2018 Marion County Tax Collector?sort=3&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looks like you've got a really good buddy there Vince and I was eyein' that kit myself after I recently saw the movie The Post with Tom Hanks. I could use a Huey Hog to hang from my ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wee hours, letting the dogs from the leash (law here) to run and sniff freely through the woods behind my house and to enjoy myself, the freedom of having time to enjoy. Great.
