Nothing.

Looks great! Love the color!

Didn't think it would either. Usually pop one and they steer clear of my yard after that. They come out about 4 times a year and trap them. They remove 100+ kittens every year and put down about 30 cats who are diseased. They neuter or spay older healthy ones ear notch them and return them to the area. Kittens and young adults the put up for adoption. I along with a few neighbors were trapping them and calling the local shelter but they quit taking them. Now the park calls an outside no kill to do it.

Te wife feeds the songbirds. She has a feeder that looks like a barn. Had to put a squirrel guard on to keep the rats with bushy tails from emptying it in a matter of an hour and then chewing holes into it when no more would come out.(first one destroyed) She looks out the window this morning and say "oh look at that beautiful cardinal and just as she says it a feral cat (we have hundreds out here it seems) came flying through the air taking the bird off the feeder! Wife screams and then cusses like a sailor on shore leave! I break out the c02 pellet gun borrowed from my son, crack open the back door and squeeze off 4 shots at which the cat jumps about 6 foot into the air with bird still in mouth and lands in the neighbors yaed and doesn't move! That thing worked better than I thought it would! Moved it out by the curb and about a hour later the maintenance lady was cruising through stops and tosses cat into her truck bed. and moves on! Guy next door won't fix his underpinning and about half a dozen cats live under his trailer.

I didn't exactly see it on the road, it was in the back of a dually pickup at KFC and I didn't have my phone!!! But boy did it bring back some memories of one of the first bikes I owned. One of only two that I ever saw and it took two years of begging to buy the one I had and another year to get it on the road!! This one was a 1948 and mine was a 1955. I saw a 1948 Ariel Square Four!!! For those that do not know it was a British Bike the company was bought out by BSA and the stopped making them after 1967. A real beauty of a bike! The one I just saw was red. I have a stock photo off the net of a 1955 that is almost the exact one I had and wish I still had!!!

I just figure when I'm gone I ain't gunna be worryin' about it!

USPS is making 7 day a week Amazon deliveries around here! See them out every Sunday now!

It's "logistics"!

Laverne has left the brewery. God Speed Penny

Meatloaf , mashed taters with lots of black pepper and sliced beets with a little butter on them! Oh! and a hunk of munster cheese!

Well scraped up enough cash to do our Christmas shopping again this morning. Had to sell about 1/2 my model stash at discount prices to do it but at least we will have presents for the grandkids! Unfortunately had to let a couple Johan kits go in the deal to get it done. Guess that just another hard fact of life! Not a first time and surely not a last for us!

Was at Hobby Lobby this afternoon and their shelves are overflowing with kits! Poor girl was out there with a cart full trying to squeeze more in. She said they aren't selling as good as they were a couple weeks ago. I told her take the 20% sale off and they will! Why would anyone buy them at 20% off when they can wait and get 40% off! She said that they could not do that because all pricing comes down from corporate. Told her they were cutting off their noses to spite their face with that attitude!

Last night had homemade chicken and noodles!!!

I'd like to keep the little guy in business too but the only one close now just moved here from a small town south of here and is owned by the wife's brother-in-law whom I will not do business with for personal reasons. That said the only models he has on the shelf are ones that people don't come to get after ordering them. Someone comes in looking for a kit he looks them up on the computer behind the counter, gives them a price (usually high retail) and if they order it he waits until they leave and shops ebay for the best deal he can find. He makes most of his business off RC stuff.

Had homemade pizza last night topped with mushrooms, black olives and three cheeses. This morning had an omelet with cheese, mushrooms, black olives and sausage and homemade muffins made from Malt O Meal cereal and bananas!

If you have a Discount Tire in the area they will mount them. In the last few years less and less places will mount tires that you don't buy from them and most are real sticklers on tread depth and tire condition. Given the sue happy lawyers these days I can understand that too! Some that will quote you an unreasonable price my guess in hopes of scaring you away. I still will hand mount them myself and check for bead leaks then just take them in to be balanced.

Same as most above! They have went from one whole side of an aisle to about 1/3 of a side and since the Revell issue they have had very little to choose from not that their selection was that good to begin with.

Bill, I have had Fed ex inform me my package was being delivered by USPS only to come back home a day before it was scheduled to be delivered and find it on the porch! I would check the email and would find an email that said "a truck was in your area so we will deliver your package a day early! It came the same day as it was delivered! Where I live the postman won't even leave a package anywhere but the postal package boxes in the mailbox area of the park due to the huge theft problem here!

What irked me???? Some deleted word broke a window on the car, ransacked it and found the almost 300 Christmas presents for our grandkids in the rear well under the floor of our HHR. We had been out shopping and were at the last stop (Walmart) at the time. A big 4X4 suv parked next to us after we had parked so the car wasn't visible on the stores security cameras. Only have liability so we are sol on that. The only plus was her cousin runs a body shop and happened to have an HHR door off a repair job that had a good window glass in it and her fixed it for free. I'll be going over to "visit" a few days and clean up in the shop for him so I don't feel bad about not paying for the work and window. Hope the grandkids understand. add on top about 3000 in doctor bills medicare is refusing to pay..... Be glad when this year is over.

Got warm enough to get two bodies painted and two in primer today!! Going to try and get two painted tomorrow and the second color on one on Sunday and maybe one or two more in paint if I get lucky!

Heard from a local guy that his brother was trying to get out with his family and pets. His wife was following him while he and the dogs and cats were in this 67 GTO when traffic came to a stop. Everyone was told to leave their cars and were loaded onto a couple trucks and the Guard hauled them out via a fire road because the road was overtaken by the fire. He said they had to leave their dogs loose because they weren't very people friendly but the cats were in carriers. Really sad. The car was his High School graduation present from his dad and was still all original. But as he said, those are only things. Maybe can't be replaced but better that than one of the family! Said they had very little warning to evacuate!

Congratulations Grandpa, Papa, Grampie or what ever else they choose to label you! We have 14 including our Little Angel Isaac pictured in my avatar. No more will be coming so now we wait on the "Greats" to start coming!

If you took a 1:1 car and shrunk it down to 1/25 scale the flake would not be visible to the naked eye. So all one can do is try and find paint that has the finest metalflake possible in the color you want.

Don't matter much to us any more. We have had this current car for 8 years and only put a little over 20,000 miles on it!

Weather turned too soon and don't have anything painted for a winter build. Guess I'll spend the winter with guitar in hand a lot!
