Winter

I would love to live in a place where I would never see snow again. Dealt with it all my life, and it seems my tolerance is getting less and less each year. For those that don't see it that often, enjoy. How many days till spring?????

I think you mean “quality is job none”….

BOTH! With a bday five days from Christmas I've gotten plenty of "here's something and it's for both your bday and xmas". Always felt a little cheated. Just my two cents. Congratulations!!

Got plenty here I’d be very happy to send you…….

AMEN

Not sure if I’d call it bored, but I always stall right before I have to paint the body. It can take a long time to get that part done.

Thanks to all for your encouragement! Might consider another one...maybe.

The handline nozzles and some of the connectors are resin. The photoetch parts were a real nightmare to deal with. The fit of the parts on the front of the truck left something to be desired. One other thing, if I ever build it again I would not put as much time and effort into the interior, as it is hidden once it’s finished. All that said, it is a very impressive truck when its complete, and it looks great in my display case.

This….been there…lived that. Great isn’t it?

This is a screenshot of the DAAM facebook page. This is the same as the card I picked up at the last show.

Got to explore a 747-400 up close and personal. What a great day, had access to areas of the plane very few get to see…One bucket list item checked.

I picked up a card at the March show and it says November 10,2024.

May God bless you and your family during this time. Will pray for a quick and complete recovery.

Super slow again, and signing in took several minutes.

Everything very slow to load, started like this for me a couple days ago.

1940 Ford Deluxe

This^^^^^ Well stated Bill.

The new Ford Pass App. I don’t understand why things just can’t be left alone. This new version is such a step backwards. There has been a lot of functionality lost, and things moved so they are more difficult to access. Used to be able to update the vehicles condition and location in real time, that’s gone. I can’t get it to update at all. Reading reviews on several sites (including the Ford App site) and there was not one positive review, but like everything else ford does the customers viewpoint means nothing.

^^^^^This. It is all about the people at the top…period.

At Ford quality is job NONE.

Been there, done that….twice.

DTE the electric service provider. At least once a week, sometimes more the power goes out. It's usually out no more than five minutes. It is however off long enough to disrupt everything and auto start the generator and then shut it right back down. I have called to inquire what is up with these numerous short term outages and was told there would be an investigation into it....and I would be contacted by a DTE engineer to discuss it. Still waiting on that call. Meanwhile, power just keeps going out....

Yes they do.

It seems to the case more and more. I often wonder what these kind of people are paid for, as stated above, seems you know more about whatever it is you are dealing with than the people whose business it is to know these things. Auto sales people pop to mind.
