Yesterday the high was 94, also still 85 at 11 pm. 74 at 5:30 am, I need to water and pick cucumbers and tomatoes, dig up a shallot to see if they are done.

I'm doing Paul's Corvette modified. With the engine and chassis being single piece construction, detailing becomes a challenge. I have another kit, a street stock Olds, I cut the engine into pieces, not sure if it was worth the work. The Corvette is coming along. Those AK acrylic pens are pretty handy for getting into tight spots.

I've had ghosting happen MONTHS after paint/clear was applied. Too many solvents too soon.

Still hot on the Island. 76 F at 6 am and humid. The pool is up to 85 and really not cooling me off.

Very good! I was pretty old once Hot Wheels came out. But did play for hours with Matchbox cars outside. My buddy up the block had a nice shady place under some pine trees. We used pieces of scrap wood to make houses and garages.

I've been battling pain issues lately myself and working on 1:1 car stuff and around the house and grounds stuff. I'm going to try to get a little modeling in today when I turn the AC on.

This is screwball Ivan making 4-pawed biscuits on a soft blanket.

That is a nice horse, someone will be missing it.

I've got fox around that keep the rabbit population down. A rabbit actually will scream like a little baby when a fox grabs it ... quite eerie. My girlfriend has a little over a half acre. She found a very dead bloated possum out back a few weeks ago.

Some of the real pavement NASCAR modifieds by 1970 had rack and pinion steering in them. On my local level the '53 to '54 Chevy frame rails were popular, so were IH Scout frames, flipped upside down.

I built the wagon version as a kid.

My dad had a no frills '54 Mainline with the straight 6 and a manual. He traded it in on a '59 Ford wagon in 1961.

This is what I've been doing. At shows they seem to be very disorganized. I have walked away while waiting for 15 minutes to buy a few things.

My girlfriend lives further out on Long Island from me. I'm on the south shore by the ocean and bay. She saw a family of turkeys a few days ago in a neighbor's yard. They strut up and down the street like they owned the place. She has a lot of property, like .56 acre plot that is partly cleared. She has gophers and chipmunks 🐿, something we don't have by me.

Oh I like her. I got a rehomed cat in 2012, she was 4. I never had a talking cat before, we held great conversations. She was also LOUD. One of her nicknames was Belle... as in DINNER bell... Sadly we lost her to cancer in 2022, a trooper to her last hour
