Little Timmy

When I first started smoking a pack cost about 85 cents. Gas was about the same and I remember sometimes trying to decide if I needed cigarettes , or gas in my motorcycle. Two years ago I tried to quit smoking because I was going to have an operation. The doctor told me the nicotine in my system would hinder bone growth. So I managed to quit ... for 7 days. I ended up in the emergency room for something totally unrelated and am attempting to reschedule my surgery. In the meantime, I decided that $8 a pack ( per every 2 days ) was just throwing money away. So I figured out that if I went to the duty free store, (I live right on the border with Mexico ) I could get an entire carton of cigarettes for $15. The downside, I have to actually walk across the border and back to get them. It takes me about 35-40 minutes to walk around and walking for me has become an issue. Now I'm seriously considering just how bad do I really want the cigarettes. The walking is killing me, ... the cigarettes are killing me ...

I took an aviation course in highschool, I can fly myself .... now, who can I borrow an airplane from ???

I refuse to pay the extra fee just to get a gold star on my license ! This is just as stupid as the banks charging you $5 to cash a check from another bank. They claim the fee is to discourage fraud. HA! If I was a guy with a fraudulent check I would happily pay the $5 to cash a $5,000 check. There is NO difference between a real ID and a regular license. You need the same documentation to get either, why charge an extra fee just to prove what you already proved ? " oooooh look" ." I got a gold star" "Dont I feel special" Ok... rant over .

The year, ...1971. I had been building snap together kits for about a year. ( don't remember exactly in what order but there was a green funnycar by Monogram, and I think a snap together Tijuana Taxi. ) But on my 5th birthday I received an AMT 56 Ford. I brush painted the car Royal Blue, but left the doors unpainted White. I failed to remove the plastic sprue x that was in the door opening ( I thought it was part of the rollcage. ) and couldn't figure out why the doors wouldn't close, so I displayed the car with them open. I also had no idea that the air scoops were NOT supposed to be glued directly onto the hood. I then took some binder re-enforcement rings and painted them Red, Yellow, Green and left a few white. I then glued them all over the car. When I was done the car looked like it had been involved in a bad accident with a "Froot Loops" truck. I recently acquired the exact same kit from the same re-release, so I have a chance of doing it right this time. This car WILL be perfect this time !

So earlier today I was approaching a red light. The light turned green while I was still 2 or 300 feet away. All other traffic stopped as I proceeded to roll into the intersection at about 8 mph A car approaching from my right made NO attempt to stop and from the far right lane blew across 2 lanes into the left turn lane and right across my trucks front bumper . I hit the brakes an missed him by inches. My irk it the police officer in the squad car directly opposite from me did. NOTHING !!!!!! He saw the whole thing but I guess he didn't want to drop the Doughnuts.

Dear Mr. Ace-garageguy , It appeares you may have a storage problem. You have made so many train purchases that I fear you are dangerously close to capacity in your workspace/shop . Have no fear, I can help. ( sort of, not really...) Feel free to place all unwanted train kits in a box, and mail them to me. I have plenty of room and will store them for you.

Other than the usual magazines ( Hot Rod , custom craft, ect ) I also had a copy of Tom Swift and his Tri-fibian atomocar. I read it until it fell apart. I also liked Cartoons magazine.

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives.

Post your unwanted paints in the trade section. I'm always looking for paint. And it just so happens that I have stuff for trade.

Surprised nobody has mentioned any Halibrand wheels yet. I think several of Jo-Han's funnycars came with them . https://images.app.goo.gl/bpiB5 https://images.app.goo.gl/QPwXv

American Mags. Nuff said . ( they don't crack like Cragers do ... oops, ... did I just say that ? )

Just because your truck is rated to haul 80,000 LBS does NOT mean you can load it to the limit. Unsecured load, windy day, 120 miles to the recycling center, all adds up to potential disaster. Hate to be behind this guy on a freeway ... with a 75 MPH limit. This is just STUPID ! ( oh yea, there's a 6 cylinder truck engine block right at the tailgate. Sitting just above the top of the tail gate. Probably the first thing to fall off. It's the last thing you see at the top of the picture, all the way at the back. )

Yea, I also would like to know how much this costs. I need to know how big of an argument I'm about to get into over my " allowance".

I can't make out most of them, and the ones I could identify iBorg already figured out. However, I can identify the sticker on the opposite side window. Hooker Headers.

Ya gotta love snagging a kit for dirt cheap. Post a picture of it, I'd like to see it.

Days of debate means we have to create an oversite committee to review the word is, and then hire a bunch of lawyers to tell us this is just a "Witch hunt" .

Harder to see reality through all the disinformation and gnashing of teeth lately, but I don't live on Earth 2 so I'll be fine ... right ?

Organic food with enough hot peppers in it could be called satanic.

Scooper full of poop doesn't appeal to me, that's why I have 20 acres of land so my dogs can "free range".

I drove school busses for over a year. The younger kids ( first through 4th grade ) were easy to deal with. We had SpongeBob in common. The middle school kids however, ... I'm lucky I still have hair.

I got stuck in traffic behind this for several miles Then I got stuck behind these guys for 15 miles. I hate the fact that they are limited to 45 MPH .

Charity workers going door to door amuse me when they can't really describe where the money is really going. ( that and the fact that my door is 2 miles from the nearest pavement...)

40 quit experience sounds like I'm babbling, but it was the only way I could think of to get this game re-railed.

Doesn't the stove on the grill kinda defeat the purpose of having a radiator?

Where's the girl ,...?
