  1. That would do it for me!
  2. I understood what you meant, I was just wishing that an alarm system would have been required here back then.
  3. Wish that would have been the regulation here in 2015 when we lost our grandson Isaac.
  4. What irks me is all the BS involved in changing Doctors and why it came to this! Bottom line, Family Physician we have had for over 25 years who no longers seems to listen to your problem you came into the office for.
  5. Back on it again after dealing with a severe ear infection and the wife's case of shingles. Got color on the cab and rear fenders yesterday. Need to finish the window seal detail but tremors in my left hand seem to be getting worse. May have to get the wife or one of my boys to do it.
  6. Three packages sent USPS in the last three months to our grandson who is in deployed in Syria and so far no a one has reached him. They said no way to track it probably held up in customs or lost. (ie stolen)
  7. Grandson ready for his 1st game of his 4th season in Pop Warner league! I've watched this little power house take his 6'1" 178 lb dad down practicing in the back yard! Literally lifted his dad off his feet and dumped him!LOL
  8. Reminds me of the scene from The Jerk where he is writing out all the checks for 1.09!
  9. I got a picture in my mind of Jimmy rising on a cloud and all the Parrot Heads standing there looking up saying "what do we do now?" He was a real entertainer, Godspeed Jimmy!
  10. My wife quit watching The Price Is Right when BOB retired, said it wasn't the same any more. Loved him in the fight scene in Happy Gilmore!
  11. Frame pretty well done drive train in. Molded the passenger side fender piece to the hood. Not perfect but my putty was not in great shape. Also fixed the headlights. Maybe get paint on the cab tomorrow.
  12. I hate spiders but for some reason tarantulas didn't bother me. I was watching a friends in 6th grade while he was away over Christmas break and it managed to get out of it's home and I never did find him. I was afraid it would turn up in either my sisters or grandmas bedroom one day! My friend didn't get mad just said it was the second one that got away!!!
  13. That's the truth!!!
  14. Wife has a cousin who is the sales department at the Ford dealer here. They have lost some long established customers over them refusing to take their own vehicles back in trade! He said they can't sell a used one said the few they did take in the beginning they had to take a huge hit on therm selling them to other dealers. Their dealership will only sell an EV on prepaid orders.
  15. I had a mix I made trying for Detroit green. It ended up a mix of aluminum, green and lightened with flat white all testors enamels.
  16. Just the picture gave me a chill up my spine!LOL
  17. Sweet looking Mack! I drove for Stone Container Corp. in Herrin IL. for a couple years in the 1980's all we had were some old late 70's International S2200's that were held over when Stone bought out Southwest Forrest Ind..
  18. Chassis done and a little weathering on the engine. Cab in primer drying right now maybe first color on thursday.
  19. Me too! I make my wife take care of them. She gets them on her hand and takes them outside!!!
  20. I agree especially Warren Zevon,
  21. Great replica build! Love those years of the Internationals. I ran a 4070 as an owner operator in the late 70's and the very last truck I drove was a farm based 1979 Transtar II in pea green with dark green striping! Last time I saw the poor old girl she was sitting in the weeds behind the repair shop. Offered to buy it but the kids grandpa bought it new and he and his dad wanted to keep it.
