  1. I know we can get attached to our outside buddies almost as much as our inside buddies. I was a bit saddened when my friendly chipmunk wasn't making an appearance earlier this spring. But that day that he finally did show up, I was giddy as ever. Hopefully you're correct and it is Steve's little one carrying on moms legacy. I did read that the average life expectancy of squirrels can vary. Some breeds living longer than others, varying between 1 to 7 years and possibly up to 12 years under the correct conditions. Chipmunks are usually 2 to 3 years. Enjoy them as much as you can while we have the opportunity to.
  2. I've always treated the isles in a store the same as if I'm on the road. The main isles are like the main drag, you have the right a way. Those coming out of the isles in to the main isles should stop and wait until you pass by, not dart out and take your right of way and give you a dirty look as if you are in the wrong. These people who think they are more important or others are inferior to them in the store isles are probably the same idiots that we all complain about on the roads. The other practice I’ve noticed in the stores is people leaving their cart in an isle while they go look for items then bring it back to the cart. I thought the idea of a cart on wheels was to take it along with you in each isle to make shopping easier.
  3. Not sure how durable it is since I was just turned on to it. I painted it on a black spoon since that's all I had. I thought for the amount that I applied on the spoon dried fairly quick and flowed out evenly.
  4. The FusionFirm ultra shining fluid silver foil that a few of you guys mentioned getting, arrived today. I tried it on a black plastic spoon and I'm amazed at how well it reflects. Unbelievable.. thanks for turning me on to something new. Yeah, that's Avocado Green in the background. Hey, if it's still working, why replace it.. lol
  5. I thought about you yesterday when I visited the new Barnes & Noble store that opened here. In the magazine rack was issues of Canadian Hot Rod.
  6. Early this morning I caught this odd old red car out the corner of my eye heading straight when I was turning left. I had to go see what it was, and I did. I took multiple angled photos but mysterious only one took. Very clean Studebaker lark. Not sure of the year. Hope to get another shot at it since it's a local car.
