Too many people preaching practices don't let them tell you what you wanna be, too many people holding back this is crazy and baby, it's not like me

Gossiping is going to take place around the kitchen table today while the “boys” are in the other room watching the game.

Triumphant was the company that made clown cars big enough for elephants.

Interest be any stronger if it was the kitty bowl, with the cats, what were you thinking?

Malfunction I believe was brought up the last time the Superbowl topic came around.

Same here, Cruise just didn't capture the character.

Maybe baby, I'll have you, maybe baby, you'll be true, maybe baby, I'll have you for me (all for me)

Yes, I have all the books just need to find the time.

Internet reading by the Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo are a thing these day so why not telekinesis.

You could almost consider him the Thomas Edison of today. Edison gets a lot of credit for many inventions but he had a whole team behind him to do the grunt work. Do you really think he had the time himself to test over a thousand fibers to see which one would work the best for a light bulb. But I said almost. While Edison came up with many of the ideas himself I don't think Musk has the same capability. It's more like Musk sees a good idea and throws the capital behind it.

Snake Kaa, the Indian python from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and its many adaptations, is a captivating character known for his hypnotic abilities.

You are 100% correct sir. I shoulda/coulda used a hypodermic for this. But you see I have this drawer that's full of detailing bits that date back some 40-50 years and I'm a cheapskate and I can't let anything go to waste. I have this package of antennas that I spent a whopping $1 on and I just have to use them before I shuffle off. I don't know what happened to the other three, probably just fell out of the bag, but I have one left and that will probably go on the companion piece to Jimmy's Gal.

Yup, we have 5-8" coming tonight. Which means more lazy people on the road tomorrow who can't be bothered clearing the snow off their cars so they blind everyone behind them as they go down the highway.

Not sweet Daisy.

Klinger's Hometown was Toledo Ohio, which was also the home town of actor Jamie Farr

Yup, my wife won't stop reminding me. That and Bosch Legacy which is March 27th.

Getting down to the nitty gritty on the Galaxie. Tying up the loose ends seems to take the longest. One thing Jimmy always added to his cars was the fancy Rotunda side mirrors and the trunk mounted antenna. Almost didn't want to add the antenna as doing it just went against the grain for me but it is what the car had. To give you and idea here is one on a Galaxie. Went sorting through my parts boxes to see what I came up with and I got lucky fairly quick when I found this. Looks close enough I think as a starting point, although the shaft is a bit too thick. I cut off the shaft and replaced it with an antenna in my stash from PJS Enterprises, something I've had in the drawer a long time. Are they even still in business I wonder. End result looks pretty good. For such a simple detail I spent a good few hours pulling it together. A much easier detail was the side view mirror. Found this is the stash, same box as the antenna. Few more details added to the engine, radiator and heater hoses. Didn't have a driveshaft long enough so one was fabricated but cutting the ends off of one and shoving a straight piece of sprue in the middle. Sent it out for balancing which took a while but it came back with nary a wobble. And we now have a complete exhaust system. The back half are original to the 66 Galaxie chassis. The front half is from the parts box of unknown origin. That gave me some trouble as the first attempt broke in my hands. Luckily I found a second H-Pipe and that one survived my big thumbs. Oh, and there is also the drive shaft in there somewhere. Almost ready to bring the chassis and body together on the assembly line but first I have to get the front and rear bumpers chromed. I opened up some of the front bumper next to the parking lights and the space between the grill and the bumper. Considered opening up more in the center of the grill but the assembly is a bit fragile at this point. Need to wet sand the bumpers some yet and give them another shot of primer. I also want to try something before I spray the chrome on. Going to just paint the bumper gloss black first and leave the grill in primer. See if it gives me a contrast between the two. The grill on the real deal is anodized aluminum, not chrome. So we shall see what happens. Until then, make sure you put your boots on before you go out to play in the snow, 5-8" due tonight.
