I think my city does that with potholes as they seem to reappear after the next rain

The Russian judge only gave a 5.5 for not sticking the landing....

RIP Barnacle Boy!

Thanks to the perpetual road construction between home and Indianapolis, I was late for the open house at Greenlights corporate office. Managed to grab these for $20/each. The Yenko Camaro is missing a wiper......don't see anything damaged on the Trans am.

Went to the Greenlights open house today. They had a food truck on site. This.....was.....awesome!!

From the InterWeb yesterday: The pay gap at Citigroup, led by Michael Corbat since 2012, is the biggest among large U.S. banks. Corbat made $24.2 million last year, 486 times the median employee pay of $49,766. ...and companies wonder why they have high employee turnover.

If you feel like a road trip, Greenlights (Northside of Indianapolis) is having their open house in a couple weeks (May 10th). Their warehouse sale is a great opportunity to get the ones that the local stores never get or end up as 'employee exclusives' (never make it to the store shelves). Their open 1/64 are usually $1 for plastic bottom and $2-3 for metal bases, 1/24 are $10, including trailers and 1/18 are $20. Last year I got the 1/18 Mad Max Ford Falcon for $20 (needs side mirrors) and a greenmachine trailer for $10 (needs back bumper)

Twenty two years ago, I managed an office building that had a similar wood system, built in the days before sprinklers and fire walls. Easter morning, 4am-ish (remember it well as my oldest was just two days old!), it took a direct hit from lightning and burned until the newspaper carrier saw it an called it in. 6a I got the call. From a mile away I could see the lights from the aerial truck! The only things left of the second floor of the building was a Steelcase desk and a file cabinet....the rest wasn't ash.....it was soot! (it burned that hot!)

In the six months after turning 25, I had to get glasses (the names and numbers on the back of the jerseys of the hockey team were getting smaller and blurry), had the wisdom teeth cut out (three impacted) and had my knee scoped (torn meniscus play tennis)....30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 have been a walk in the park!

Blue Jackets won their first ever playoff series and to do it sweeping the President's Trophy winning Tampa Bay Lightning. Love Torts!! That man knows how to give a motivation speech. If you find one on-line from Game One that is unedited, don't play it work without headphones.

I used to work with a guy who did everything his father did including when he was in the professional world (bought a Buick as his dad had one....carried a briefcase as his dad carried one). I want both my boys to blaze the own trail and follow what they want. I encouraged both both in sports (both played basketball and baseball) as you learn teamwork and just want them to try new things (we only had rec baseball when I was a kid). When my now 22 year old was playing basketball around 7 or 8 years old, they had enough players for three teams when he started but only one by seventh grade. My 12 year old played baseball against a team this weekend that the other team had ONLY nine players and one didn't show so they had to take the "L". My son was sign up #9 for his baseball team and they acquired a few more so not in danger of having to being short for a game. ...and it drives my wife nuts with some of the off handed comments, but I've told them both that athletes get the hot girls.

My youngest had his first baseball game of the season and he had a good day in the field and especially on the mound so I let him pick where he wanted to go for lunch. We went to the nearby J Gumbos but I explained in southern lingo, when they say 'hot' it's not just throwing a little tabasco sauce on it. We both had the Voodoo chili that you can get as a hoagie (if you don't want rice) and you eat it like biscuits-n-gravy.

I think this is a new entry for the commercials when "just okay" isn't okay...... I presume the guy that was in charge of the razor was off the day this one was wrapped?

My oldest said he wanted to go to the casino but all his friends are broke. I asked 'do you know how to fix that?' Without missing a beat he responded "get a better bunch of friends?" Well played my son....well played!

Chicken and waffle casserole.....family liked it but not as good as I expected. I have some work to do......

As long as it doesn't leave me, my hair can turn whatever color is wishes!! I got the bad knees and hips from my mom's side of the family, at least I got my maternal grandfather's hair! He passed at 90 with a snow white but full crop! My father was combing his with a towel when he was in his very early twenty's.

I'm still trying to get all my orifices to unpucker! The pic is taken from the InterWeb but this is identical

My youngest is playing baseball this spring (sat out last year). At one of the first practices, the father of one of his friends mentioned he bought a Demon. I said current or an older one (he has an early 70's plum Challenger and a 69 Z-28). He said a new one and asked if I would want to go for a ride one day. This is what we call a rhetorical. He brought it down to practice tonight. He made a couple short bursts but we took it one town over to side road in an industrial area which is about a quarter mile long. Wow is an understatement. As brutal as the launch is, the Brembo's bring it down nicely!

Leave it as is for now. Too many other half finished projects ahead of it.

Ahhhhh....that's much better. I tried to find a built stock car version to pilfer the hood to no avail. All the hoods I found on line had a hole in the middle. No resin options unless I wanted to buy the whole kit.

It can be a blessing and it can be a curse. My late father has a brother that has multiple diplomas in different fields of medical study. When dad was in the nursing home due to his dementia, he was telling me that dad needed to eat more of and what he needs to avoid. He's in a nursing home due to this disease and if he is feeding himself and eating at all, I'm good! However, I'm married to an ER nurse. I get free medical advice when I'm sick (wanted or not) but I get the look when I make dinners that would make a cardiologist shutter.

I believe it's the TransAm Javelin......unpainted and complete
