  1. Yet again another sunny Tuesday off but I'm stuck sick inside witha cold or whatever. Since Sunday, but started feelin' a little off on last Tuesday. Happens once every year between October-March era. Skipped school yesterday but it was only collectivley 2 hours of two lectures like every Monday and I caught up on any notes online yesterday and a couple online quizes. Still hate being sick though.
  2. One day I’ll have a classic car and it will be pretty darn cool.
  3. Nice to see it finished; looks pretty cool 👍
  4. World Cars is our local Kia and Hyundai dealership.
  5. Searched up what your dream means: When you have a dream about being squished, it signifies feelings of being overwhelmed or confined in some aspect of your waking life. This dream often reflects a sense of powerlessness or a lack of control over a particular situation.
  6. Yikes; I've woken up many a time due to dreams about being attacked by a dog or a bear but this is whack. One of the oddest dreams that comes to mind was oddly memorable enough for me to still envision it even though I dreamt it in circa grade 5. It was in the evening, had to have been summer, and there were all these exotic burrowing animals digging holes in our backward, like an aardvark was there, pretty sure there was a wombat, maybe a honey badger; it was just stupid wierd. I've also had some pretty crazy dreams that come with side affects but I won't get into those...
  7. SNOW DAY NO SCHOOL Side note: the winds are like 60km, and I have a '58 Olds hubcap hung on the side door of my grandma's garage, and it has been known to fall off when windy, but surprisingly it's still hangin' there. Funny how it falls of with the slightest breeze but then when the 60km winds roll in it stays hung.
  8. Ok so my hopes were up waaaaaaaaaay to high; for this particular job fair. First off, the summer jobs we applied for weren't even there; I ran around for half an hour in disbelief looking for the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources) stations but there weren't any. It was also extremely hecktic; the halls and exhibits were backed up the wazoo, and scootin' by people was insane (way too many people were obliviously standing around). BUT that being said I took advice from one of the profs and personally emailed one particular resume to the manager of the summer job I am most interested in, and the manager emailed back thanking me for sending it to him. I was hoping to put a face to the name at the job fair, but like I said, they weren't there, but at least I got my resume out front, (in order to apply we have to send it in on a website, which I did but I changed a couple things so I figured to keep up to date I better send it to the manager personally) so I am one step ahead (hopefully) of everyone else.
  9. That is very cool; love to see model conversions of our native cars 👍
  10. Yeah it was pretty bad; I remember at first it felt like I just nicked it, but then when the blood came gushing out I realized I had maybe severed a small vein of some sort. But that particular finger is quite the trooper; I've burned it once after touching a hot screw- first second degree burn I had; wasn't fun, and back in 2021 I had actually cut it with the exacto blade in the same spot, doing basically the same thing, only it was a '65 Corvette and I was shaving burrs off the tires. That cut wasn't as bad as the most recent one. Oh and had it caught in doors a few times also.
  11. Boy oh boy I cringed when I read "sent my thumb into the blade". Did something relatively similar 2 years ago that had a worse end result. Was actually a model car related happening. Was working on a glue bomb 1966 Shelby Mustang, and the tailights had been glued in with globs of glue by the previous owner, so I figured i'd use the exacto to pop them out. Held the car upside down on the table, with my left pointer finger around the rear edge of the car, and was trying to jam the exacto blade underneath the tailight with my other hand. Suddenly it popped off but the blade ran about maybe half a centimetre into my finger, maybe a little deeper. It would not stop bleeding at all, no matter what, until about 9-10pm (cut it around 6pm) it slowed down enough so I could use liquid stitch to seal it, and begin the month long healing process that yeilded a scar which still remains to this day.
  12. Similar thing my dad had; severe pain on and off; eventually too unbearable went to the hospital and had his gall bladder removed.
