nothing short of amazing!

Today I went to see my son in Breckenridge, Colorado. He's 24, and quite a character. He loves to snowboard. Anyway, he took me up the County road that leads to the top of the chair lifts to Peak 9 at Breck. What a view! Was one of the most incredible days I have ever had.

I need your help I need to get name of everyone who was in this picture. I will do an outline with numbers, and you can reply which number you are.

Anthony Rios took home the coveted Best Of Show People's Choice award at the Toledo NNL today for his Big Rig 300 Movie Theme truck Congrats, Anthony, and it was great to see you and Santiago there. On my way to Denver, as we speak!

He's looking at all the cheap houses in Ohio! Man, you guys got it made here! Gas for less than 3 bucks a gallon, milk for what, 3 bucks a gallon, house with a million square feet for $300K, man oh man. Next thing you know you'll tell me they have Gennis for $4 and JD for $10!!! And that's for a six pack and a full bottle!!!! I'm here at Randy Derr's house He has been a terrific host, he and his wife Debbie have so gracious to let me stay here. Tomorrow, Friday, I may either play tourist, go to Wright Patterson Museum, house hunt, or check out the local beaches. Don't know yet, that ones up in the air. What a great town (Dayton area) Didn't get to spend any time in Cinci, except for hotel north of the airport. The fog was thick all morning. I rented one of the new HHR's, only 3 miles on it!!! It's a great little car. So, Papa, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!! Puerto Rico was a blast I owe so much to Miguel for putting on such a great show, being a great guy and great friend, and for Ismael, who helped me out big time, and save me some major pie in the face with the next issue. (that's one for just you and me, Iz!) Thanks so much, gracias mi panas!

:-)

I don't like you anymore.....

Nick, I just saw the reply When I get back I will get them out to you. I think they are still there.... I hope

Bob, Chris is right. There is no fees except for bold, highlights, etc. You can literally sell everything you have for free! Yes, I know, I should charge something for this, but I don't. This is a service for modelers, run by a crazy guy in Hawaii who has no business cents at all! There is no charge for pictures. Just make sure the size limit is small, I think it's 250k or so, the smaller the better. Will it be free forever? That's hard to tell. Depends on what everyone wants from the site. I actually picked up the small 32nd scale kits from the seller here in Puerto Rico! Fly 7500 miles just to save 10 bucks on postage..... go figure :-) Enjoy the site, and yes, it's taken a while for it to get off the ground. It went through a revamp before, but all the prior data was lost, and I think that turned a lot of people away.

It relates to modeling because it is The Gatekeepers wish. GO YANKEES!!!! ALL THE WAY! SCORE ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

I played tourist today Walked all over Old San Juan Was a blast! It's now 9:15 p.m., can't find a liquor store anywhere! Sure, there's tons of bars, but that is where the trouble would start. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/PuertoRicoWalk

I'm here They lost my one bag though SO, I'm shoeless in Old San Juan, the HOJO What a trippy place! This is the old San Juan for sure Room 211 cell doesn't work good in the room reception is bad. wifi works okay

At the airport in HNL Getting liquidated in the club Life is good... Next stop, Atlanta. Two hours for breakfast, then on da plane for Puerto Rico. Don, Don, Don....

I can't remember who had them, I think it was Matt from Arizona, LookOut Models, but don't think he is still casting. They were in a lot of 80s and 90s kits, like the Revell Funny Cars.

Lock the doors, guys and gals, the October Road Tour starts in two days!!!! This is going to be a blast!!!! Bummer thing is my trusty old PowerBook got tweaked and broke the LCD screen. Had to get a new MacBook tonight That sucks!!! But, now MCM has a new puter for the shows. I know, it's purty, shiney, and white.... It ain't ol' faithful, but things change, right? I know, poor me..... Puerto Rico is going to be a blast!!!! Toledo, Need I say more? Then to the office, get the new project out Chicago iHobby Expo, and then a "open day, on Saturday, back home October 19 What a blast!!!!! Oh yeah, donations will be greatly appreciated.......

Yankees win in double over time! 21-17

Mike, I love this!!!!!

That is the biggest treat for me. Surprising people with covers. I don't ever kiss and tell (well, I did once, but that's another story), and when guys see their car on the cover, the thrill I get for their response really makes the past ten years of sweat, blood, surgeries, and a couple of bankruptcies all worth it. My only regret is I started so late. I started building in '87, after seeing a SAE in our local hobby shop, April 1987 to be exact. I still need to meet the other cover feature modeler, and thank him for who and what I am today.

Sorry, everyone here in Hawaii is laughing their okole off! The Red Roof here is the funny farm in Kaneohe, State run, of course. That's always made me laugh!!!! Sorry.... just a lolo haole havin' fun....

not snip snip snip south of the border??? been there, done that! Sorry, TMI

Sorry, Bob, you can slap me in Toledo I sand all my metallic finishes, but I start with #8,000 grit at least, if not higher.

Okay, this post hits close to home. Although I didn't have a mother who was negative towards my hobby, I have gone through the same scenario And, considering I got into this hobby only back in 1987, look at what I have done with my hobby. You can use my example to your mother, explaining that there are those out there who can make something from their hobby, if they have the heart, passion, and soul of our hobby, as well as the support of the family and loved ones. Our hobby is a close nit family of hobbyists. If you want to email me off the board, please do so. All I can say is don't let the negativity of others, even family, let you down. You do what you want to, and do it the best you can.

Don't mind Gregg He's nuts And he thinks he owns this place.... go figure. Now, back to our regular programming....
