I got some laughs the other day while looking at the "estimate" delivery with the tracking. Package arrived in Las Vegas at 4 AM and said it would be delivered by 9 PM that day. I live almost 1000 miles from Vegas. Next day at 6 AM or so it left Vegas. Don't remember what the delivery time claimed and don't care but it's the typical USPS scenario. Oh, and then you get the "moving through the network" message for the next several days. 😒

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Looks very sharp. Those decals around the wheel wells had to be fun. 😟

Trains are always interesting to me. Thanks for the bit of history on the real and replica trains.

Wow! Your tractors and shed are a joy to look at.

Excellent looking model.....models! And the photography is great also.

Those old catalogs brought back some memories. I built the car chassis and the visible man and woman. My Dad built a few of the submarines. I think we all "tried" to build the V-8 engine at one time or another.

My wife is the big Allman Brothers fan in this marriage so I told her about this earlier. She just texted me that she heard Jessica on the radio so was all excited about that. Always a bummer to lose these guys that we remember listening to when we were younger and forget how old they've become.

A great idea and a very nice looking model!

I agree with Pierre. Exactly what I thought as I looked at the pictures.

Our microwave gave up after 20 years also. One day started to make a bad noise and there was a smell so it was time. Decided to replace the other kitchen appliances after that because they were all 20 years old too. Didn't want to wait until they broke down, especially the refrigerator.

I like it. Lots of good wiring and plumbing. Very muscular looking.

Thanks for your comments. Finally got him home and after a blood test, x-rays, and other assorted things they determined he has an infection in his guts. I'm still in the "irked" section because it might've happened on a walk and I try very hard to watch every move they make so as not to nibble on something they shouldn't. I was told it could be anything out there that was licked or whatever. Our yard is free of any toxins and I'm always out with them when they go out. I am pleased this is treatable with a couple of pills for the next week and I hope it will be fine. Just a tough thing to deal with.

Took my dog to the emergency vet this morning. Yesterday he keeled over and laid there for about 20 minutes not able to move. Freaked me out. Then the rest of the day he was back to normal. This morning he woke up puking and just laid there breathing fast and short. Waiting for the diagnosis and I don't handle this type of thing well. My other dog knows something ain't right.

I like this just the way it is. Nice work!

You've got some great customizing skills and imagination. Great looking models!

Really enjoyed your pictures and modeling skills. Especially liked the Jag in its raw form before you painted it. Had no idea what you started with.

And it's not just package delivery problems. I've had regular mail problems off and on for the last few years. Magazines that disappeared, mail I sent that never got to the destination, mail that I sent 5 miles from me that took more than a month to get there. I get someone else's mail about once a month. I'm nice enough to write on the envelope and put it back in the mail. Sometimes its one of my neighbors so I can just walk it over to them.

Nothing to be sorry about. Just that I didn't see a headline this morning so you were my news source. Now I see it plastered everywhere.

Interesting that I hear it first on this message board.

USPS again. Sent a check over a month ago to a company and got a 2nd notice in the mail yesterday wanting their money. The notice made it here but not my check going the other way. I have another check that hasn't been cashed for another outfit that was sent 2 weeks ago but they are usually slow about cashing it. One of the places just now has options for different payment methods so will take advantage of that but the first one I mentioned wants a check (once a year). I will call them today to see if they accept other methods of pay. I've had about 10 issues with the USPS in the last several years. They suck!

We've had this happen before and you will probably never know how, what, or who did it. You really don't need to do anything now because your bank has taken care of things. Frustrating I know. Always would like to know what goes on from the other end when the "crook" has the purchase cancelled.

Cool pictures.

I tried watching the moon landing like that in 1969 but it didn't work for me so ended up watching on tv. 🤣 I'll be here all week.

Nothing in Oregon. The one 7 years ago was enjoyable. It was sunny and clear so we had a good show. Experienced a few of these in my lifetime; partial or whatever, so I don't get too excited about it.
