  1. Had the fender logo and the right hood. I've seen it around for a couple month on the road but never stopped. I wish Round2 or Revell would update their tool. I'll take a yellow one
  2. He's finally laying with a women his age....
  3. Wouldn't the display be on a computer as I believe that would bring new meaning to 'streaming' the show
  4. I admit it's been several years since I've been to a concert. My last one was Steely Dan reunion tour when I got mid pavilion for about $30. Miscellaneous fees and service charges, over priced WalMart quality souvenir shirts, gouge parking rates finally made me call it quits. I was playing on the Internet this afternoon and saw a concert announcement for Niall Horan. I admit I have not clue who this is but check this Concert announced September 15, 2017........Tickets go on sale September 22, 2017....Concert itself is July 25, 2018. Seriously? Purchase tickets ten months in advance? I don't even know what I'm doing for dinner tomorrow night, let alone ten months from now
  5. You guys rock!! Thank you!!
  6. I recently bought a Carney (or Carney like) case that i was planning on using for the 1/43 models but where it's going (wall about the toilet in the man cave) i'm going to use it for something else so I need to turn it 90 degrees. In doing so, my mounting holes will now be on the right side only. How can I safely drill a new mounting hole without cracking the plastic?
  7. Third day into the NHL season and Cincinnati Bell decides to make the NHL channel a separate subscription channel. Sleazy enough they pulled the Fox Sports - Nashville a couple years ago. Gee I wonder why people are pulling the plug on cable. (We used to have Dish Network but I swear they kept sending the guy with the lazy eye to line up the dish).
  8. My ten year old son and I went to a higher end car show back in the spring.....Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Corvette Z06, etc....at a local Mercedes dealership. At the end of the show, the cars left at varying times and took off down the Interstate next to the dealership and there's something to be said for for hearing the music of a V-12 at full throttle. (Notta a fan of the automatic, but at Camaro ZL1 and the electronic shift is impressive). My son ran to the fence as he wanted to hear the the sound of the BMW i8....um, no. Acceleration was impressive but it lacks the 'look at me' over the top style of the other participants having just the 'whoosh' Sorta like the electric Harley....NO, NO, NO
  9. Recently I've had them call my cellphone and ask for my wife by name. I said you have the wrong number and both times they say I can probably help them. They went on to solicit donations for charity. CLICK....and pushing the button to cancel the call doesn't give the same satisfaction as slamming down the receiver.
  10. One of the local stores had the AMT Camaro ZL1, AMT '63 Corvette USA-1, AMT '25 Fruitwagon....no Lindberg Dodge trucks
  11. From the Kentuckys Largest Slot car show and Model car Swap meet on Sunday. If you are into slot cars, this was a great show but was seriously lacking for the modelers. The red Porsche is sealed.......never saw one of these before. The yellow one is open but complete
  12. Found at a local thrift store.... For several year now, most of the local Goodwills have been pricing stuff at close to what you can buy new for and now one of the other thrift stores is following suit. While I understand they want to maximize what they get, what they get was free and needs to be priced realistically. I usually donate any nascar kits I get to area church rummage sales. Let some kid build it and grab for a buck or two.
  13. I worked with a lady years ago that told me her then husband admitted in their divorce proceedings he bought her a yellow one so he knew where she was if he was out with his girlfriend.......Ouch!
  14. Ferrari FF (sorry, notta fan)
  15. Their reunion tour was one of the last concerts I went to. Great show!! (Combination of life a.k.a kids and ticket prices closing in on a car payment stopped my concert attendance)
  16. The Cincinnati Reds are bringing back the manager under another one yer contract! They are currently 19 games under .500 and 266-355 under this Manager. Glad my tax dollars are paying for this stadium.
  17. I was planning to go to the show in Indiana the same date..... Anyone been to this show in the past?
  18. I usually hit the local thrift stores for animal crates (donate to rural shelters) and other miscellaneous oddities. This afternoon, this was sitting near the front of the store and all I could think was "someone really was an organ donor".
  19. I wasn't looking for a head on a platter but I expected more of an investigation than I get from my ten year old looking for his school backpack that he just stepped over.
  20. This is why people don't take the time to get involved!!!!!!!!! My father's nursing home violated HIPAA when they told his brothers that he had passed away. I explicitly told the administration NO ONE is to be told but they spilled the beans less than 24 hours after this directive. I filed a complaint with the Department of Health & Human Services who took their time before reaching out asking for me to prove I was Dad's care giver so I e-mailed the POA. In less than a week I received a letter today that they 'investigated' and determined there was a violation but will defer to the nursing home's to resolve the matter through their technical resistance. So basically their own system breaks down to allow them to violate Federal law and they get to investigate themselves? Seriously??? It was noted if another violation comes up at this home, it MAY get investigated. WTH....are they on double secret probation like the movie Animal House???
  21. Did they get another round of shipment? One store in town got Ed Roth Surfite kits and one out of down (Dayton) got Dodge L700 tanker kits?
  22. I bought one at the Louisville show but its missing both the 440 and the 390. Any suggestions for currently available 'close enough' of either engine?
  23. Went to the Ohio Valley show in Louisville today....came home with more projects that i didn't need. Great show especially for a first year! When the organizer had to give up the table at the entrance to accommodate more show entries, it was a good show! I buy towels, blankets and pet carriers at thrift stores and garage sales to donate when I got out of town to shows either near the show or a rural area along the way in communities that down. The KY Humane Society was hosting an off site adoption event at the Dixie Feeder less than a mile away so for those saw all that odd stuff in the back of the Pontiac G8, that was its destination. I do that in the name of my two dogs who have passed and the four rescues who are spoiled rotten.
