From Atomic City?

Then you didn't see what Maren Morris......I said it looked like she just got out of the pool but the wife said nighty and cover up. Dignity went out the window! The tributes to Mac Davis (Reba & Darius Rucker) and Charlie Daniels (Jason Aldean) were very good. We were wondering if the bow for the fiddle player would last The Devil Went Down to Georgia.....

I'd leave the wife and kids Christmas morning for Reba.....

If you're coming from the South, I-71/I-75 is shut down until further notice over the Ohio River (between KY and OH) due to a semi fire at 3a. Currently awaiting structural engineers to determine if it's safe to reopen......

Flaming Hot Cheetos (crusted) sushi from Kroger's......grab the first two put out! Got some serious kick to it.

The one closest to me is a mess. I would stop in there when the wife went to Once Upon a Child so I was somewhat a frequent flyer. I bought a couple kits and was looking for the latest SA (no E) so I asked them young person behind the counter as I was checking out. "Uh....it's over there". I didn't see it (hence the question) so if he would go get it, I would add it to the sale. Nope.....that would mean effort on his part. I'll just grab it at Krogers from now on. Fast forward a couple years......the anchor store was going out of business so I went Hobby Town again. Huh....door locked. The wife was done with her shopping when an older gentleman who had been sitting in a car for 10 minutes strolled up and opened the store for the day. It's 10:30a at this point. I can get the same impersonal service at the big box retailer with better price

I'm in for the Stealth and the Eldorado die cast.....shame we can't get the Cadillac kit/promo back I had a Stealth......great car(!) even in bad weather. The only time I had an issue was a snow storm that dumped over a foot of snow as although FWD, the ground clearance meant a lot of shoveling the driveway

Pet Valu is closing all their US locations....another victim of the pandemic Two years ago, the local pet food pantry closed after about ten years due to a decline in donations. More people are buying their supplies on line and getting it shipped right to the door so they stopped grabbing extra food or treats for those in need. When the wife had her hedgehogs, we shopped Pet Valu and Pet Supplies Plus. I get the furry foursome bagged food from Sam's (Iams) but got the canned food I mixed in from the stores previously mentioned. (I had to stop as my aussie has a food allergy and it causes hot spots).

Order on line by midnight and you get the 40% discount and free shipping over $50

Nope!! Suggested Retail Price..... AMT PLASTIC MODEL KITS AMT-1235 1/24 American Superliner Semi Tractor Cab $94.95 AMT PLASTIC MODEL KITS AMT-1238 1/24 Ford LTL9000 Semi Tractor Cab $94.95

I felt for bad for the kids last night that went out to Trick or Treat. There are always those in the neighborhood that turn off all their lights and hide in their basements, but this year participation level of my neighbors was down around the 25% level. The ones that irk me are the ones that send their kid out but don't pass out candy themselves. For the past 20+ years, one neighbor across the street and I would load up the last kid (dumping the rest of their candy) and sending the kid across the street to the other ones house where the same happened. He didn't participate this year and flow of kids kinda dried up about half an hour early.

The 40% sale is back on this week......now if they would just restock

I'm a hard core hockey fan so my passwords are usually a player name and jersey number. It's great when IT has to ask you for your password to work on your machine and they just call you to ask that you come across the office to enter it so it's spelled correctly.

Former marketing people of Toys-R-Us must have moved on GetGo gas stations. Last weekend, my teenage son and I ran to Columbus for an event and I stopped to gas up while here. I pulled into the GetGo station and inserted my credit card.....entered my zip code....and then the labyrinth of questions started. It's 9a so the caffeine isn't fully coursing through the veins and I don't have the readers on so I have to read at arms length and then need to hit the button I think is the 'no'. Am I rewards member? No I'm over 100 miles from home & they are not in my home market Did I want to save a few pennies by joining? No Car wash? No, it's in the 40's out I forgot what the fourth question was.... Final question was if I wanted to donate to the local food pantry? OMG....one more question and I put the nozzle back! I just want to get gas!!

1/18. There is a Highway Patrol version in addition to the orange, yellow and blue editions

Found the yellow and orange Camaro, but the blue one wasn't showing up. Local antique mall has one w/o a box at triple retail....um NO! Several weeks ago bought an extra blue and orange Shelby Mustang with the intent to trade for the Camaro. Of course I found one yesterday.....

I made a Hobby Lobby run yesterday and grabbed the same two kits as Tom This came today.....open but sealed inside. Will raid the 70 Camaro for the rallye wheels

Open but complete.....not seeing this one on the re-issue horizon

I like the odd and different...... 1/18 Citroen

In a parking lot.....

I've bought broken 1/18 die cast and used the parts to complete another broken model. I've never been detail oriented so not sure if there is any photo etched scripts and badges out there for this scale.

At least they strapped them down......

From yesterday's toy show...... $5 for the Chevy Truck promo $80 for the Chrysler (sealed) and the Eldorado (complete)

Good weekend so far.... Yesterday Went to an area toy show. Couple good finds (will post later). I gotten into the Funko characters, but won't pay the insane $$ that some people will spend on these. I finally got the Pops made for the benefit of the devastating fires in Australia. The humane society was less than two miles from the show so I stopped there and dropped off a huge box of towels and blankets as well as two small pet carriers (I frequent thrift stores and grab these for this exact reason). Today 23rd wedding anniversary. Wife injured her back collapsing the inflatable side pool so not doing anything special. Being a nurse she isn't big on going out especially the county has had a serious uptick in Covid cases.

The Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London. It was one of the few books on the reading list that I had an interest in. I was not a big reader as a kid, hated it actually...probably because I have the attention span of a goldfish. Ironically I grew up and now read sixty page commercial leases all day, everyday.
