  1. And for 500 bucks more could get you a Hemi through the dealer here!
  2. Actually in a smaller venue the first was New Colony Six in Chicago! (1967)
  3. Rolling Stones on my birthday Nov. 16 1969 in Chicago!
  4. My great grandma in 1981 shortly before cancer got her called it "built to break"! She came to the conclusion that big manufacturers decided that huge profits were more important to them than being known as a company of quality! If they break soon after warranty and repair costs are too high then they get to sell more units and make more money! We now have evolved into a throw away society. We buy cheap and just replace rather than repair never giving thougt to how much that "cheap" really costs in the end!
  5. We are doing fine, really not much different from our normal life! Guess we live a pretty boring life these days! I have only been out about once every 10 days since this started. (excluding my yard) Only to the grocer or drug store. Did have the wife to the doctor twice this week though. Monday because they had to change her inhaler to one Medicare D would pay for. The other she had been using samples from the doctor but they jobbers are getting stingy with them. 485 dollars each and she needs one every month. Put her on a different one that Medicare D will pay for copay only 30 bucks a month. Today had to take her back because she had a urinary tract infection so he put her on antibiotics for 10 days. Said it was common when going on to this new inhaler. (just what we needed) Spend most of the day reading or working on models. Weather breaks soon I'll go out and work on the 1966 Buick in the driveway.
  6. That is totally awesome!!!
  7. Great to hear you came though it all. My wife says she knows what you are going through and wishes you well and sends her prayers. Bet you can feel the difference now post surgery and realize how bad it really was before! My wife's next surgery has been put off due to this coronovirus stuff.
  8. Very well done replica! Wasn't too long back that was a common site on the streets around here! Lot of very quick street Stangs !
  9. 2nd build of 2020. Built out of box. Decided not to add decals to it.
  10. The scoop would be right for mid to late 70's especially if the rear was jacked up sky high with N50's sticking out of the wells!LOL
  11. Look up his song Paradise !
  12. The only thing I followed across the country was the white line!
  13. I have to agree wit that one!LOL I couldn't imagine life without potatoes!?
  14. Na, didn't need to be in outer space to enjoy some of their music. Like you said they all seemed to pass through that stage in their music. They are all just pieces of that great puzzle of Rock Music. I have most of the Grateful Deads music but reduced it down to two CD's I put together of my favorites. Had many chances to attend their concerts but never did, just wasn't my scene. Pink Floyd and Lead Zepplin are two more of my favorites along with Buffalo Springfield.
  15. A little drastic I would think, maybe just in the foot though!
  16. Bill Withers,dead at 81.
  17. Before and after shelter at home pictures!
  18. Used to occasionally have to drive past their factory up in Chicago years ago and the smell was fantastic!LOL But they moved.
  19. LIFE!!! Cause Mikey likes it too!LOL
  20. I love their danish especially the raspberry and the cheese. The doughnuts tend to give me heartburn unfortunately although I cannot resist the chocolate covered ones!LOL
  21. It is a strange thing until you talk to some of the people. Been happening around here for about 10 years. People moving down from the city (Chicago and Burbs) and their main reason for having all the trees removed...... so they don't have to rake the leaves!!!!?
  22. I gave up on Hostess after they came back with their short on flavor shrunken treats. Their pies were almost empty! Very little filling in twinkies and their chocolate of the cupcakes and suzi q's tastes cheap! We only get Little Debbie ones now and only a few things from her. My wife loves he oatmeal cookie ones. I like the chocolate covered nutty bars.
  23. My guess is most will end the school year doing their work from home. They were having a meeting here with the educators about that .
