Welcome to the community, Scott. Can't wait to see some of your creations...

I woke up this morning while it was still dark outside and headed for the living room to catch up on some TV. Just as I sat down, the motion-detector activated flood lights on my patio came on. I got up the check it out and watched a large racoon amble across my patio and then jump the short fence to the side yard where our trash cans reside. Shooed the poor racoon away before he got a chance to raid the trash can and make a mess...

nauseam is the feeling that overtakes me every time I have to attempt to take apart a new-generation throw away car that was designed and engineered to be slapped together very quickly on a mass production assembly line and then never have a component, beside the oil drain plug and possibly the oil filter, removed for service, replacement or repair, again

A local hole-in-the-wall independent Mom-and-Pop Mexican take-out place that is near where I used to work and is now on my way home from work still has (REALLY good!) Taco Tuesday Fish Tacos at $1.99 each. Three of them stuffed my belly for an early lunch after work.

sleep is a necessity of which many of us can never seem to find enough time for

When I worked at the Hot Rod Shop, we had a customer bring in a '66 Shelby GT350 that he'd bought on-line from a flipper in the southeast (we're on the Lower Left Coast). In the seller's pictures, the car looked REALLY nice and the buyer paid handsomely for it, but when it arrived at his driveway, they couldn't get the driver's door open to unload it from the transport. The transport driver said he had to crawl through the window when he loaded it. They ended up bringing it to us without unloading it. Ends up that the undercarriage was so rusted out that the front subframe had collapsed and the body was also sagging in the middle. When the buyer contacted the seller about the POOR condition of the car, the seller's response was "I just buy 'em and sell 'em, I don't look underneath 'em!" and showed the buyer absolutely no sympathy or goodwill. The car is in such bad shape that it needs to be rebodied and the buyer doesn't have the funds for the repairs. In another nightmare, a local customer inherited a nicely restored '55 Chevy Cameo from his Dad in Oregon. He found the least expensive transport company he could and hired them to deliver it to him here in California. The trip was SUPPOSED to take 4-5 days. After a week-and-a-half, the transport company "owner" admitted that the truck had been damaged and he had it delivered to a body shop without the owner's knowledge or consent. The transporter was a 1-ton flatbed with a gooseneck trailer in which the ramps went over the truck cab. The driver loaded the Cameo up front and didn't tie it down correctly. During the trip, the driver ran into a situation where he had to slam on his brakes and the Cameo rolled off the front of the trailer, landing on its frame about 3 feet behind the front wheels. The Cameo's owner, after much fighting, had the Cameo delivered to us. To make matters worse, he transport company had let their liability insurance lapse and refused to cover the damages they caused.
