  1. i hate to start new topics, but there's just too much fun going on in the Volkswagen anniversary thread to break it up. anyway, these things are seriously cool: http://www.nbc.com/jay-lenos-garage/photos/tatra-t87/318936
  2. don't turn this into a harley thing now
  3. evidently they have a cult following: http://www.gaugepods.com/vacuform/
  4. i don't wish chronic pain/ health issues on anyone. aren't there gizmos allowing dictation to be typed? my butt doctor had a microphone and as he talked with me the words appeared on his computer screen/ my health file. also, if some of the editorial duties could be assigned, the time/ deadline element could be taken out of the equation. then editorials could be introduced into the mix as time & energy permitted.
  5. really good job. is there a link to your website? thanks
  6. you're being given signs. how you interpret them is up to you.for 3 years prior to retiring i was having my life eroded away and nothing i did seemed to make me happy. i was drowning in sand. finally i looked around and made my escape plan. i have never looked back. everything "they" tell you is not based on your needs, but someone else's. make you choice - live your life or the life someone tells you to live?
  7. sometimes we forget how many people it takes to support the lifestyle which we enjoy.
  8. looks out of proportion. you asked.
  9. respect is earned. there's some good stuff there but it takes some poking around. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lets-see-your-vintage-model-cars.965084/ just like anything worthwhile. as a reference, i think it's second to none.
  10. hah; you need to be in front of the screen 24/ 7 to even keep up with the Hambers.
  11. i have a sneaking suspicion the work will be well worth it.
  12. always thought the Beetle looked better without running boards. tiny car, tiny scale.
  13. from Hemmings today: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/05/20/midweek-matinee-farther-faster-safer-1934-ish/?refer=news
  14. well, you pretty much have it figured out
  15. hours-on. i save almost every web page i read. organize in you favorites or bookmarks folder.
  16. i don't think people who have never done this work have any idea what it involves, and those who do sometimes become complacent.
  17. i've loaded wood chippers. real easy to get sucked in and the machine doesn't even slow down.
