  1. Well that is different. Looks like fun. I like the "box" art.
  2. Very nice looking model you made. I like the personal touch you did to make this unique. I've built a few of these Tamiya Mini Coopers and they are very enjoyable.
  3. I've always said how much we're able to communicate with our dogs and vice versa but we still aren't able to explain things to them. Example being this. If only you could explain the situation like you would when dropping a kid off somewhere it would make things so much better.
  4. I was surprised to get mine so soon but was disappointed not having the usual model reviews at the back of the issue.
  5. One vet told me she just did this surgery on a Corgi and it was a piece of grass stuck in there. How weird is that? Another vet a week ago told me he's done a couple of these surgeries in the last month and pulled out a foxtail burr. Damn dogs! LOL
  6. Taking my dog in for foot surgery today. He's had a lump between his toes on the back foot and it's gotten worse over the past week or so. They think something is embedded in there. As much as this irks me, this morning is also an irk as he can't have any treats or breakfast. The stoppage of the usual routine can't be explained to a dog. He just looks at me as if I'm stupid for not following the rules.
  7. Saw this the other day and wondered if anyone would comment on it. It's amazing how many songs these guys wrote that were hits; not only for others but some for themselves too.
  8. My wife has always been good about letting me know when any bird stuff has landed on her car so I can clean it right away.
  9. Grocery prices and gas price. Went grocery shopping today and filled up with gas. I should be used to these high prices but continue to be amazed at the cost of some things. Then I'm kind of surprised at how cheap a few things are. Very few. Not gonna go into specifics but overall it's painful to go to the store. Just gotta deal with it and move on.
  10. Yes, always liked him too. Never remember reading a bad thing about him and sure enjoyed his movies.
  11. Wow, can't remember the last time I saw a Neon on the road.
  12. I never "see" them in my yard but enjoy listening to the crickets all night during the summer. Strange that last night was the first time I didn't hear them. Maybe it's getting too cold at night now. I did enjoy hearing an owl hooting very close to our open bedroom window. After a bit he moved further away but was still asking the same question "who, who, who"?
  13. Costco has this new thing where you can pay extra and be an "Executive Member" which gets you in an hour earlier than the peasants. I'm not about to pay more as there are some months I don't even go there so it's not worth it. Anyway, today was the first time I witnessed the cluster this thing causes. I should point out that I go to stores when they open. Grocery shopping at 6 AM and other stores early and Costco when they open. Now Costco is already open for the fancy members while the rest of us have to stand and wait. Some people don't know about this new deal so they try to go in and are told they can't. We're told to form a line to one side so the "royalty" can go in but that doesn't work very well. Once inside it's very crowded because there are all the early entry people and now the rest of us. So this new thing just causes a lot of turmoil for everyone and I wonder how many customers might spring for the new scam so they can go in early which would be the the previous regular time for everyone.
  14. Very nice stone design and work. A LOT of work but I don't need to tell you.
  15. I went to the post office yesterday to mail a business size envelope that was a bit thick so knew a basic stamp wasn't going to do. The guy tested the size in a slot and weighed it and the cost was $1.90. Sheesh! Also needed 10 stamps for the wife to do her executor duties for her moms estate and was humored when the guy offered a few different colorful stamps. Didn't need anything fancy but came away with some hearts on a stamp. 🙄
  16. Sirius XM decided to drop the Beach Boys channel already. They do this every year where they bring it on for maybe a month and then it's gone. I was hoping it would be a permanent channel like the Beatles, Ozzy, Tom Petty, etc.
  17. My wife has no problems with hearing but uses closed captioning all the time when she watches tv. I hate it so when we watch something together it's off.
  18. As a couple of others have said, this model is just too far out there for me but..... I did enjoy looking at your nice building skills to finish such a bizarre model.
  19. Lots of work and it shows. Excellent model!
  20. I'm not the most educated when it comes to buying things on Amazon because the wife usually does it but I have bought things before and shipping is always free since we have Prime. Been debating whether to buy a certain model that I finally found and $20 shipping was applied and wouldn't get the thing for a month. Asked the wife about it and she gave some long explanation about this and that..... So I'm not gonna buy it. Don't need it that much.
  21. Great looking model. Thanks for telling us what paint you used as I have a couple of these I want to build and those colors look perfect.
  22. On the subject of school bus drivers......My daughter-in-law drives a school bus and she's pretty strict with the kids. I accused her of being this guy.
  23. Thunder at 3 this morning and now it's raining. Nothing in the forecast which I always find funny with all the million $$$ computer stuff they have. Anyway, not complaining as we really need the rain and I won't have to spend time watering.
  24. Your model captures the mean look of a Fuel Altered. Great job!
