Engine 51

Updates. Phone, tablet, apps, PC, dash-cam and on and on. Every. Single. Day. No idea how there can be so many updates all the time.

David, thanks for the link, There are some items there I can use on the next Sheriff car build.

Kobalt pole saw. So far…so good.

An on going battle with breaking teeth.

A twisted ankle. Did it up right yesterday afternoon. My left ankle has done this to me all my life. This coming week will be less than pleasant. Best part about this is….I went and joined the gym yesterday morning after weeks of debating if I should or not. Figures.

Hot, humid and stormy.

Sting trimmers. I dread using it every year. I have never been able to make friends with one yet, despite the salesman telling me how user friendly it is.

I likes it….Very much!

My Father in law was part of that. Was wounded not too long after landing. The wounds he sustained there caused him trouble the rest of his life. May God bless the memory of those that were there, and what they accomplished.

Thanks for all the kind words! Now I just need to find a Tahoe kit so I can do his current vehicle.

This is modeled after the car my son drove before he got his Tahoe. I had the decals made and they came out better than I expected. This kit was a bit of a challenge, as some of the parts are shared with the “RT” version, and required some drilling and fitting to get most of the police equipment to fit. Gunna get a case to put it in and give it to my son.

Sure do…amazing how loud that aircraft was with only one engine.

As a side note, the Packard plant in Detroit, where my dad was a forman. Years ago we drove around it and he was telling me what was done in each area, and the places he oversaw. I sure wish I could have recorded that trip.

Yes, happy for that bad month, would like to see more months like that from them. I’m sure he will be around for years and years considering the love affair this town has with him.

The Detroit Red Wings being eliminated from playoff contention.

Can’t get out of the mid 30’s. Snow flying, ground was white again today. So much for spring.

The time on the board posting here is wrong, the correct time is 9AM to 3PM.

I see the show has been added to the “upcoming events” listing. Thanks to whoever handled that!

Wonder why this never makes the “upcoming events” list here?

Flight sim computer. A very pricey gaming machine that, when its behaving is absolutely wonderful. However, it has what I am sure to be a video card problem. Out of nowhere the screen goes black just as if you had shut off the monitor. The video card fans go to 100% and the only way out is to shut down and start over. Research has shown this to be a fairly common issue with this model, and the remedy is replacing the video card. That's a $2800 item. It's under warranty and is going in tomorrow, we shall see how it goes.

Today’s irk: snow, snow and more snow. Enough already!!

Sorry to hear that Mike, it’s always tough to lose a pet. I have buried more than I care to remember. However, at least she went on her own terms and you didn’t have to take her in and go thru putting her down.

Snow/ice. Went to check the mailbox and ended up on my backside. Was down before I realized what happened. Sore wrist, arm and hip. At least once every winter. I sooooo HATE this weather.
