  1. Went through something similar last year. Fell about 4-5 feet onto hard packed dirt/ concrete sidewalk. I put my arms out to help break the fall, but got a radial head fracture in my left arm instead. Still hurts like mad during damp weather.
  2. More aches and pains, knowing it's going to rain before the weather guy does because every joint in my body hurts from years of hard work. But just sitting back and thinking back through all those years. Reagan was still in office when I joined the Army. Bob said it best." 20 years. Where'd they go. 20 years, I don't know. I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone". Truer words were never spoken in my case, except that it's more like 30 years..I don't think I can afford a midlife crisis cuz I'm too busy buying all the new release models .
  3. Same here Ken!! Always a pleasure trading with you. Thanks for the great trade.
  4. I love this build. The period correct colors and stance is just right.
  5. I've been on the 270 beltway during rush hour. That thing would get bounced around like a ping pong ball, and get squashed under a semi before it reached Dublin. Traffic in your area is some pretty serious competition driving. Lol.
  6. ?
  7. Good news. I just found it myself. I'm stocking up while I can.
  8. Great builds!!! My father had a 4 door in red back in '79. He loved that car.
  9. The Germans "field" applied some camo schemes by mixing the pigments with gasoline, diesel, just about anything that would cut the stuff, and brushed or used an old mop to apply secondary colors. You can replicate forward area applied cammo pretty easy.
  10. . I'll be following along. I love those old Macks.
  11. I have no reason to change my comment...
  12. He wasn't afraid to call them as he saw them. I guess that's not P/C in today's "enlightened" environment...... . I'll miss him. I might not have agreed with everything he said, BUT I respected him for saying what he thought. For that, he has my respect.
  13. I'll get the popcorn!! Lol!!?
  14. Ah MAN!!! Ratchet straps??!!........wow...... Just wow.....
  15. How in the wide world does this guy expect to get from A to B WITHOUT getting a ticket?? That load isn't exactly low profile.... Doing that to a Challenger is a crime in itself.
  16. I have this kit too. I'll be following along!! This is a great kit.
  17. If I don't need it, I shut it off. Problem solved. My phone is so old, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of these modern things. Besides, IF they ARE watching me for whatever reason, I'm a pretty boring study.. And yes, they should at least bring the beer. I spend enough time in the green machine to know how track and observe works. Electronic or otherwise. This is prob old news to most people, but those reward cards ALMOST everybody uses at the box stores, gives big brother a nice baseline of EVERYTHING you buy, allowing them to establish baseline buying patterns on everything you consume. Food for thought.....
  18. Ain't that the truth!! Lol.
  19. I won't own a smart phone. Smartphone Tech has went from being a tool of convenience, to being a tool of information and passive information gathering for anybody who can hack in and get it. No thanks. I still prefer the ability to not be reached at any time of day or night.
  20. I built this kit not too long ago. Didn't seem too bad to me....
  21. Oh Yeah!! Got a set of Chiefs minilites waiting on this one.
  22. Aren't Morgan's made with wooden frames? . Yikes. Lol. Put me in for a 1939 Chevy coupe, number 9. Thanks Rob.
  23. Did a trade with Blackbeard for a semi truck kit here about a week and a half ago. His end made it here safe and sound AND on time, my end seemed to get bounced ALL over the eastern U.S. Before he FINALLY got his end of the trade today. Hopefully in one piece. I know it's there busy time, but the address label could not have been more clear, and they STILL screwed it up......
  24. Same here Kevin! Just wish USPS would have been a bit quicker on their game.
  25. X2!! I really like that. . I really like that 40 ford gasser you built too!
