  1. I know a lot of friends that like this show and they by now have stopped asking me if I want to go. I just do not care for big shows. I like cruise events, I can leave when I want to. The swap meets are permeated with die cast cars and yard sale items. I have a friend with a tattoo shop. She has a Friday night "show" now and then, it pulls around 10 cars and is always fun.
  2. One more of Ivan snoozing. All 4 paws, the bottoms are pitch black.
  3. My 1st few weeks home we're tough, by week 2, I cracked open a beer. That is when I knew I would survive. My kids did some shopping and cooking and my wash. I had home PT, about 12 sessions which was good. Some exercises inside, then walks outside. If you have this offered, take it.
  4. Nice to know where he went. He must have had someone making them for him.
  5. I have an impressive squadron of Bluejays that stop by for breakfast every day. I feed them black sunflower seeds and peanuts. I find loose feathers fairly often just off the deck. Some are quite vivid with color.
  6. I have some Shabo dry transfers that I use on stock cars. My supply is good but getting low. The older ones don't work so well. I have looked for new ones online. No luck. I used to see them at shows. But not recently.
  7. Some are butt ugly... all we need is to have someone 3D print a couple. Drop the bodies on a GM chassis and go from there.
  8. Some of Ivan last night watching TV with me.
  9. My dad lived way out east and we would see massive flocks of them. He backed up to a county park and them and the deer wore a path next to the woods. Come getting close to Thanksgiving.. there would be not a turkey in sight. Somehow they either got got or had a 6th sense to lay low.
  10. The little calico named Brie was sleeping like this. The black one. Mr. Beers was just chilling. He has sleek shiny fur. All 3 get along well.
  11. Wild turkeys on my girlfriend's block. Sometimes we see 6 or more just waltzing on the side of the road.
  12. All 3 hanging out last night.
  13. My girlfriend likes the heat. She's into a spicy margarita ? when he go out. I have hot cherry, cayenne and 4 jalapeños on the patio in pots. I did reapers a few years back and they were HOT. I pack them up in small batches so I add them to chili or soup.
  14. Picked more hot peppers yesterday. Top to bottom. Habanero, Ghost and Scotch Bonnet. I chopped them all up, vacuum sealed them and stashed them in the freezer. I managed to avoid getting anything on my hands this time.
  15. I had squirrels get into my garage via a damaged roof. I'm still finding loose insulation everywhere. I patched it until I got a new put on. Each fall I go around the house and garage making sure nothing can get in. I back up to state land on 2 sides of my property. The only thing I don't have is chipmunks and these woodchuck/gopher things I see out east of me. I see possum, fox, of course raccoons. Something happened to my rabbits recently. I had a wild turkey in my yard back in April.
  16. They are so curious. My Ivan checks out anything that comes in the door. Pocketbooks, groceries, packages of any type.
  17. All 3 cats hanging out with my girlfriend the other night. The black cat belongs to her daughter. He thinks that the girl cats are his harem.
  18. I also like to tape graph paper down and use a centerline to make sure things are symmetrical. I have made up jigs to hold smaller assemblies like one I did for a tow truck bumper. I'll have to dig that out.
  19. I'm careful about what goes into the pails, anything with food on it gets washed first. Cans are rinsed out. I'm glad the pails were not knocked over. My girlfriend works with a lady, they got into her attic and ultimately did a tour of her kitchen cabinets.
  20. This got me out of bed at 5 this morning. A huge raccoon going through my recycling pails on my deck. Nothing was knocked over, they are good at getting the lids off.
  21. I find it to be absurdly dumbed-down. Likely by design to turn us all into bumbling fools.
  22. This has been kicking around since around March. I started out using the kit rear chassis and a '67 Impala front clip. I was not able to get the rear low enough. So I dove into my NASCAR donor pool and came up with a Monogram chassis. I had to stretch it a 1/4" to fit the wheel base. I took it to a club meeting last night to get some inspiration going. Wheels, tires, breathers are Ron Coon Resin pieces. I have more parts complete and not shown. The object to to make a what-if Harry Gant #33 out of it. The last picture is how far I got with the '66 parts that came with the kit. I hope to use them for something else.
  23. I have a few of those kits around and should dive into one. Yours is excellent.
  24. I use a very sharp chisel blade to do most of the removal. I sharpen them up on a hard stone. I really rarely change blades out. I keep sharpening them instead.
  25. My rabbits are MIA for a while. I had 2, a big and a little one. Then just the little one... now none. I also have fox in the area. I have to do a head count on the squirrels soon.
