    You have yourself a nice house there. Very well maintained and the real estate it's sitting on looks quite roomy. My congrats to you.

    Just got through paying off my 08 Corolla with my mechanic. He's allowed me to make payments on it for the last 5 weeks. I'm happy and he's happy that he has more money to keep the lights in his shop on.

    I drove to the main VA center in Bedford Mass to pick up a prescription of blood pressure pills and my newly purchased 08 Corolla performed absolutely flawlessly on the Interstate. Even with 170,000 on the clock, it's far peppier than my old Accord that it replaced. Along with that, I'm getting better MPG and at idle, the engine is silky smooth not to mention it drove like it was on rails. I"M HAPPY. 🙂

    Sunny but high 40s today. I have my space heater and the kettle on for hot drinks.

    The kids are off from school this week and I'll be taking it easy. I won't get paid for it but I have 4 personal days on the books that'll I'll use to cover that shortfall.

    If greed hadn't existed, the world would be a better place for all. Unfortunately, there are still lowlifes who'll make a fast buck swindling anybody such as our senior citizens as Slusher has pointed out.

    No school for the kids today and next week so I'll be taking it easy. Today was a nice sunny day so a lady friend and I went to New Hampshire for the day and the 08 Corolla I bought recently performed flawlessly. We even had a great lunch at a family owned restaurant up there before coming home.

    Old Man Winter is still hanging tough in some parts of the country.

    This weekend will be third one in a row that'll be rainy with some snow in the mix and with chilly temps and wind. GRRR!

    The rain that Boston got since this past weekend has finally moved out and it'll be mainly sunny for the next couple of days. However, the temps will drop into the mid to high 20s tonight and it'll be chilly on Wednesday. Old Man Winter is still hanging in there even as we enter the second month of April.

    Cool. The Dart looks great BTW. Your skills are excellent.

    I checked the label after the Drat arrived and it's him. It's sure a small world.

    No word from the current owners of Revell if they have the Early Iron kits after they bought many of the Revell/Monogram tooling following the Hobbico bankruptcy. If they don't have them, Atlantis may along with Tom Daniels kits not including the ones it currently released.

    Weatherwise, it's a repeat of last weekend. Drizzles, cool and raw so a nice drive in my newly purchased 09 Corolla is out of the question.

    When the Dodge arrives early next week, I'll check the label and see if he's the sender.

    The 08 Corolla is now registered, insured and inspected as of today. However, when I got to my mechanic's shop where he does state inspections for the sticker today, he said I missed my old Accord by an hour. It was taken away on a rollback truck to the big junkyard in the sky. He jokingly said that as it was leaving, The "Taps" music that's played by the bugler at military funerals was conducted. RIP old friend.

    I checked his YouTube channel and he hasn't posted a video in over two years. Others over there are asking the same question

    I didn't see the name. The seller is in Florida.

    I thought I bested the styrene bug but it came back and bit me hard so here's my latest purchase from E Bay and quite affordable.

    I recently saw "Thunderheart" online where he played an FBI agent who was part Sioux Indian. A versatile actor for sure. RIP dude.

    Would you remember an old TV series that didn't last and long forgotten?. I remember such a show from 1974 that was a crime drama on ABC. It was called "Chopper One" It only lasted 13 episodes but it has a real cool opening. It proceeded "Blue Thunder" and "Airwolf by a decade.

    It's a repeat of yesterday and it even snowed for a brief time. Oh, well it's a good day to stay indoors with a hot drink and watch classic movies online.

    Chilly with light rain in the Metro Boston area today. Some improvement is coming for Sunday.

    My school bus broke down on the final run of the day and the GM had to sent another and the tow truck. Thankfully, the monitor, (A lady assistant) kept the kids calm much of the time. The GM called the school and the school in turn notified all parents via citywide texting that their kids will be late coming home and as to the reason why. The bus will be in the shop for a while while I drive one of the spares for now.

    One of the best things in life is old friends reuniting after many years apart. Glad that you two reconnected.
