I'm reading the comments, so many cases of life happening, then not. I just watched this, one man's collection, now he seems to see life is running out, and the cycle of life will continue with or without us....

or load rating

Just the tire weathering alone, that pulls it into a fantastic build.

breaking bulbs, shrapnel

Up chucking from those parties, if I only knew.

the disco ball

I had the perfect day for launching rockets, no wind. I launched several, the ones I built in 1977 and a few years later survived, the two new ones got wrecked, but good excuse to build better versions. This 1:19 scale V-2, my dad took me to the factory in Penrose CO in 1976, got this and a few other kits. Dad wanted it painted like the White Sands test, from a magazine illustration. 7th flight. This one is built with a food can. Crashed second flight. Set the phone on the ground below the pad. Maybe I should start a new thread? Anyone else ever do model rockets?

Very cool pickup, but I'm biased. I've been doing short trips, have yet to venture outside the state.

frozen waterfalls, judges

I'm self-retired, so opinions of the guest will not necessarily reflect those of the station. I've heard so many retirements going great, then bam! My dad worked his butt off all his life, took early retirement from the NPS, got a couple world level trips in, then was diagnosed with Parkinson's, after being incorrectly diagnosed for something else, had traumatic lead poisoning just before Thanksgiving. I've heard of corporate people, who seem to have thought golf was the only thing, and then literally get bored to death. A friend worked for ADOT, took years to get over waking up to the clock, he had to remove the clock from the bedroom. That's why I've always had hobbies, which could interfere with work, because I never had the discipline for 8 to 5. I'm plenty busy, have to keep the memory function operating or I'll lose it.

on slippery slopes

Clickbait, missing information in title. ? I think the '57 Chevy is an A.I. rendering, but someone would build it. Since I'm here, the man with the yellow go-cart was having a blast during the parade. I would get more time at parades, than the bloody golf course.

I built one as a teen, when it was a new kit. Please don't tell me what eBay prices are now. That's cool how you are taking modern techniques to resurrect a model, very impressed. Mine got demo derbied, some parts made into other hack jobs. ?

Thank you for starting the topic! Thank you Veterans, too bad it's not a whole month. I went down to Prescott's parade just to watch, was just going to take pictures from the sidewalk of the Prescott Antique Auto Club. Because it's still a small town, I know people, and was invited to ride in the parade! We are lined up ready to get on Cortez Street. Thumb Butte is beyond. The owner of the '68 Oldsmobile 442 is a Vet, and she takes the older Vet in the parade every year. I've known them for decades. This is Whiskey Row. Blessed to be an American, blessed to not be a complete hermit only building models all the time. ? ??

Wrong town, comeon. ?

Funny the subject is stink bugs. The Juniper stink bug, same noxious odor, if in the house they dive bomb you.

Midget Mouse was the first transmission expert. ? [side note: I know someone with one in a stack of other car stuff. Was imagining a go-cart chassis, Hyabusa(?) engine....]

and no top

edit: wrong use of that word, skip over me.

Lot'll wordsmithing nonsense in recent history.

Rumor says grandpa

Nice! The Mugen is one of the last I completed.

That dealership burnt
