  1. The rain has stopped and the sun is coming out. The rest of the weekend is expected to be nice.
  2. I'm glad that it was repairable. I've read about this problem on some automotive websites. The safety of you and your family is priority No. 1.
  3. This has become a regular thing on my school bus. Every Friday, I tell the kids that our favorite weekday has come (Meaning the weekend is close) and in in total unison, myself, my monitor (A lady assistant who keeps the kids in line) and the kids themselves would say "WOOO" like Rick Flair the wrestler.
  4. The passenger heaters and front defroster went out on my school bus mid run but the trusty mechanics went to work on them as soon as I pulled the bus into our shop after my runs. I called ahead and sure enough, a bay in the shop was open. Within four hours, the bus had good heat even on the lowest setting.
  5. It was suppose to be raining off and on in Boston this morning but the sun is winning out so I was able to get a few errands done before kicking back.
  6. It's good to see Revell make some of it's kits here in the Good Ole US of A.
  7. Looks like Atlantis got more than it's money's worth on the purchase of the old Revell/Monogram tooling from the current owners of Revell back in 2018.
  8. The old Monogram tooling is still giving us one surprise after another. Atlantis is still digging through them like Indiana Jones going through an archaeology site.
  9. The 63 Ford F100 would be my pick. However, I have a 1990 Taurus SHO promo.
  10. After watching a jazz playing video on YouTube showing the inside of a coffee shop with books, falling night snow and a fireplace, I wished for a fireplace myself on this chilly willy of a day right about now.
  11. US Navy 85-89. A happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets.
  12. Mainly sunny but a blast of cold air came in overnight.
  13. A wee bit chilly with rain rolling in early this afternoon. A good time to stay home and work on an MPC Dodge stepside PU that needed parts from the old stash.
  14. Deleted. Wrong thread. Sorry Mods 😞
  15. Do both cars have provisions for a modeler to install an engine of any type? When I saw the R2 video featuring the Nomad and Barracuda, the bottom of the boxes that featured the parts trees showed the hoods of both cars that were separated from the main bodies of both.
  16. Finally got my haircut and I feel like a million bucks. I walked into my barber's shop looking like Larry and walked out looking like Curly. NYUK! NYCK!
  17. I finally got an appointment for a haircut with my barber for Saturday morning because he was on vacay for two weeks. He's busy as a beaver with his shop so he prefers appointments.
  18. I bought this trailer off E Bay a short time ago. The price was right and it'll look good behind a my 53 Ford PU or 61 Ford Ranchero. An E Bay photo of it.
  19. Sunny and high 40s today but windy. It feels like the mid 30s outside right now. However, no school for today due to the state and local elections here in Massachusetts. I'm working on a 72 Dodge PU with a cup of hot Joe.
  20. The GM texted all drivers this morning to let us know that school will be out for tomorrow due to the state and local elections here in Massachusetts. We won't get paid but one of my personal days will make up the difference. For tomorrow though, I'll sleep in some.
  21. JMO but never in a long while has a model car kit generated such a buzz as the AMT 1960 Chevy Nomad has.
  22. The monthly task of dusting and rotating my cars and trucks in and out of two display cases. Liker the last time, I dusted off a Johan 69 Rambler American and when I blew into into the interior to get the dust out, it hit me in the face. It's the only model that gives me that kind of problem. It's into storage for it for now.
  23. I just preordered the 60 Nomad from Model Roundup. It won't come out until January but it's said that it'll be a hot seller so I'd figure it's better to get ahead of the crowd.
  24. A modeler can take the Nomad in any direction. I'd take one and give it a great patina with a great set of wheels, tires and keep the chrome looking good.
  25. My building's laundry room was quiet when I got home from work so I threw in three loads of laundry so I wouldn't have to worry about them over the weekend. It'll be busy the next two days and I have clean clothes on hand for over the next week and a half. Now the fun part which is folding them.
