  1. Found three dead squirrels in the yard Saturday evening. Called a friend that is a game warden, and she came out and took them in to be tested. Called just a bit ago and it appears they were poisoned with peanuts. I strongly dislike the little rats with fuzzy tails but would never do something like that. Only way I ever killed one was in the woods with a .22 rifle out of a tree and then it became dinner! Haven't done that since I was a kid.
  2. She pretends to sleep but she is just waiting for me to get up so she can claim my recliner!
  3. Need a piece about 3X5 inches.
  4. Really proud of this young Marine! On to infantry shcool.
  5. Go check my wife into the Mayo clinic and say fix what you can and if there is anything left then I'll let them have a look at myself!
  6. Grandson graduated today!
  7. Actually came a couple days ago after taking the long was around thanks to USPS logistics.

  9. I assumed (my bad) that they used the same frame in both kits. Dug out the 57 and this is what you need!
  10. These look like what you need? Any thing else you need from the 56?
  11. Did not get an allowance. At 10 started mowing lawns around town pulling the lawnmower around with my Spyder Bike! Shovelled snow in the winter. By 11 I started working for the farmers, walking beans and putting up hay. By 13 I started working in the factory my grandma worked at nights unloading box cars and loading trucks, by hand. Even was occasionally put to work on the knife cutting foam cushions. I was buying my own clothes, and this was how I bought my guitars and drum set.
  12. It is the old school kit with all the opening parts. Had one when it originally came out that never got finished. Fire crackers took it out. Traded for this one but it was incomplete so parted it out to a couple members here a long time ago. I'll dig it out and if the piece is there it's yours!
  13. Are the ones on the 56 the same? I have a 57 but it is an almost complete kit.
  14. What you interested in?
  15. Well she got her shots updated. Ears cleaned and nails trimmed. Sold my tool box to pay the bill. She needs to lose a out 5-7 pounds. She is fat and sassy and talks all the time! She is a Muted Tortoiseshell.
  16. Wife's 56 year old brother has dementia a severely withered arm from nerve damage in his neck and now cancer and is in a nursing home. We rehomed his dogs to the same family but no shelters have room for cats and we had no luck rehoming them. I relented and let the wife bring home 9 year old Abbygail home. She is some type of pure breed we will know from the Vet who has her records. She is overly talkative and LOUD!!!
  17. Found these at a yard sale in the middle of nowhere today! Farmer said his former hand whom he fired left a bunch of stuff in the old 1960's Dodge motor home that he was living in. (Left that too) Asked what he wanted for them and he said it is all junk to him and said 10 bucks. I went to give him a 20 and he said no, 10 for both and he wouldn't take the 20 no matter what! I have never heard of either company. The Zero looks like it screws together. Molded in a wierd white plastic looks almost like the glow in the dark stuff!
  18. I taught the art of seed spitting to my grandkids and now their moms hate me!!! LoL
  19. Luckily nothing inside was damaged. Came from Japan. Was scanned in Cincinnati 8 times over 5 days!
  20. Ribs, baked tater, salad with blue cheese dressing and mandrake oranges!
  21. Didn't get a picture but there were three vultures in the yard yesterday morning. The lady across from us is 101 and she scared them off, said she isn't ready yet! LoL
  22. I was diagnosed as now being diabetic on Wednesday. Not bad enough for insulin but more big changes in diet. The Doc wants me on Ozempic. I'm not sure about it.
  23. Thanks for the music Brian! We will miss you! Got to meet him in the 60's when my oldest brother was in the Marines. He was good friends with Dennis and surfed with him every chance he got. Brian was very reserved, I guess shy would have better described him but he was also a funny guy once he loosened up.
