  1. Got me a MPC Grumpy's '72 vega pro stock kit through a trade deal on the forum.
  2. I had a great flawless trade with Matt T. I hope he enjoys his new not so miniature ride when he gets to building it.. as for me? Who doesn't like a Grumpy's vega? Mike
  3. I finally got to help out one of my neighbor ladys. Her garbage disposal has been non-functional for over two years. It was old, rusted and seized so I advised her to purchase a new one and I'd install it for her. Today was the day. It went in without a hitch and all is well now. My payment, a homemade Italian dinner.. good neighbors are abundant in this development.
  4. Our one property is within an 1/8 of a mile of our Carroll County Farm Museum property where many events are held. Once such event is the 4th of July Celebration and fireworks. When those mortars go off the boom shakes the houses windows. For years when we had cats and dogs I would sit in the house and turn up the TV volume and try to physically keep them calm during the fireworks. That same Museum holds Civil war reenactments throughout the summer months, with cannons and black powder muskets being constantly shot off during the event. Now that all our pets have gone to the other side we don’t have to worry about the noise.
  5. AC... need I say more? Our temperature at 8 am was 80° F, by the hottest point of the day we were at 101° F. It stayed throughout the night and we're to have another 101° scorcher today. 90° tomorrow 🥵
  6. Not that is anything special, I spotted my first Fisker Ocean suv.
  7. Today I had an old classmate stop by on his '74 Daytona 500 bike and later in the day I spotted my mechanic out in his '69 GTO.
  8. You have more patience than I would have in this situation. I would have canned the clown when he wasn't accomplishing anything in that first month. If he's working on time & materials, some guys will milk the heck out of a project. Plus why is he messing with the wiring that the electrician is being paid to deal with? I can understand your frustrations, but end his nonsense before you go broke.
  9. Great trade with Kit Basher. It took me a little more time than normal to get my end moving. But all said and done it was a worthwhile trade. Thanks Hugh.. Mike
  10. I can contest to the Weed Wacker lingo. The one I'm currently using and wish I had not bought is an electric Black & Decker model. It's body is shaped like a reciprocating saw. Now you can’t buy a electric powered Weed Wacker, it's gotta be either gas or battery. When this one finally dies, I'll be purchasing a gas powered one.
  11. Every Friday evening starting in the summer the local VFW has a car gathering. Although we didn't have our fishing rods with us, we caught this Cuda escaping the crowd. 😎
