Of course they never leave a message. I get that too. It's either spoofed caller ID's of people we don't know, towns & states, Company names with different numbers every time they call and the list goes on.

Me too.

She played Olive Oil in the live action Popeye movie with Robin Williams (he was Popeye).

Just like Rodent said. Just take a screen grab of it and save it.

I didn't know it was still around. I thought it was gone. Years ago I used to have it bookmarked and the last time I tried it I think I got a 404 on it. Anyway, you can't make plates that are newer than 1998. I use this now. http://www.licenseplates.tv/

I have this mandrill. It was originally used for truing down tires on a 1/8 scale nitro RC car. Now I use it for 1/25 scale tires. The way I can make it work is because I have these two shallow conical discs. Also from the RC car. They were used under the body clips to protect the Lexan body. The pictures show the rest.

He sure is cute. We have a Louie too. He's a 12 y.o. Chihuahua mix. Here he is.

I think it works basically like the turbine compressor of a jet engine. It even sounds like one (without the roar from combustion).

I noticed when I clicked on the image and it enlarged, there was no red in it.

I just watched that video yesterday when I cam across it in the "Recommended" on my YouTube channel. Good video, great supercharger.

With digital broadcasting there are quite a few sub channels that broadcast nothing but old shows. And there's plenty of free Roku channel apps that specialize in old shows and movies. So don't watch broadcast TV, just stream what you want, that's what I do.

The body is painted, the chassis is pretty much done and I just finished the interior tub. Box art: The body: Interior tub:

We got rid of cable about 5 years ago. Although we do have an antenna to pick up broadcast TV. But I primarily stream Netflix (the only one I pay for), Tubi and YouTube although I do have a number of free movie apps to watch too.

Here's today's inbox of scam. LOL.

I get that stuff all the time, "order confirmation", "we received your payment", etc. So much scam spam that it's so obvious. Multiple emails of the same thing with different return email addresses.

Yeah, you're right about the misaligned winglets (actually end plates). The wing has a little warp to it. When I was building the kit I accidently broke the wing into 3 equal parts. I had to glue them putty and sand it to get it to look right. The endplates have a recess in them for the wing tip to fit into. That's why its misaligned.

Yesterday I was at an IPMS contest and won a model on a raffle ticket. There were no car models left to choose from so I selected this airplane kit. It's a pretty nice kit too. I kind of chose it for simplicity but it actually has good detail and a little more complexity to it. It has a small PE sheet and some white metal parts too. Anyway, I like the kit and will probably build it one day.

It's not 1/43rd, it's 1/24.

It's a resin kit. Frankly I like the 1/43rd resin kits better. In 1/24 I would rather do plastic kit. Here's a phot of the 1/1 car and then the model.

I recently got a couple of wrist watches. I just got this new watch. It's an Invicta. I never thought I would get an Invicta as they don't have the best reputation. But why should I be a watch snob? I don't have real high end watches to begin with. My best most expensive watch is a Revue Thommen Airspeed Automatic (You can see it in a couple of posts above in my watch winder post). This watch only cost me about $58 (I noticed it just went up to $65). Anyway, it's a nice looking watch and I see Invicta does have many good looking watches in spite of all the gaudy ones that they have. So here it is. And just yesterday I got this new watch. It's a cheap watch that I got from Aliexpress for about $18. But it's a unique watch that I like. The numbers are on rollers like the old gas station pumps used in the 70's and earlier. It is a quartz movement. You can get other watches with the same exact movement in them only in a nicer case/bracelet so you can spend over $100 but I liked this instead. Even on Amazon and eBay this watch will run from $33 to $36.

I got to see the 2017 eclipse.

I used to race RC. But I raced the Nitro cars.

The big white one on the left is a magnifier lamp. It has a cover that is closed over the lens.
