  1. "About when do you think you'll get here?" is what my sister-in-law asked when we called to tell her we were stuck in traffic on the freeway, but still on our way for Christmas dinner
  2. 21 and strong as I could be, I knew what freedom meant to me, and I couldn't give a reason why I would ever want to die
  3. happened to be looking to see if there was anything new to be seen or said on this thread today
  4. I hear ya!!!! Every year, where I work (USPS) we have to re-bid our work schedules. This gives Management the opportunity to make changes without Union consent. I am now clocking in at 1:30AM, which means my alarm goes off at 11:30PM the night before so I can make it to work on time. Saturday work schedule is still 5:00AM until 1:30PM, with Sunday and Monday off. My body doesn't seem to want to accept this new sleep schedule and Tuesdays are BRUTAL after a normal weekend sleep schedule...
  5. headers that don't fit are DEFINITELY a problem to be dealt with, a while ago, the Hot Rod shop I worked at brought in a '69 Mustang Mach 1 with a Coyote engine conversion where the headers wouldn't fit, all the new motor mount welds looked like bird sh*t and the "fabricator" who did the conversion had no idea of the concepts of "center line" and "square", it cost the car's owner tens of THOUSANDS of dollars to clean up this mess.
  6. "suits me just fine!" is what I was thinking as I entered my credit card info to pay for my most recent order from a WELL respected online vendor who deals exclusively in model cars
  7. "them or me" she cried "it's time for you to choose!"
  8. October is one of my favorite months, the weather starts to cool and the leave start to change color
  9. now it is tomorrow and I should be getting ready to go to bed
  10. list of my model car stash as a spread sheet is what my father-in-law started many years ago, but has never been able to finish
  11. My kind of car project! Gonna follow your build for sure!
  12. Where I work, English is NOT a lot of the drivers' predominant language and they regurgitate words they commonly hear or see into nonsensical sentences. You'd be surprised at some of the descriptions I have to interpret into understandable conditions.
  13. going on vacation to a tropical island beach and sticking my toes in the sand with a Mai Tai in my hand is where I wish I were right now
  14. lines of cars in the staging lanes were an exciting aspect of drag racing
