So... did the Broncos miss their flight and send a high school team to take their place or what? And who was that guy wearing the Peyton Manning mask? Obviously not Peyton Manning. Yeesh...

The Portillo's closest to me is so busy at lunch, they have cops directing traffic every day in front of the restaurant from about 11:30 to 1:30 or so. It's a really busy six-lane main drag, so the cops have to stop traffic every so often to let all the cars that are lined up and waiting to enter and exit the Portillo's parking lot do so. There's no other restaurant or store or anything along that stretch of road that gets that... the closest to it is that the cops have to direct traffic at the entrance to Best Buy, but only for a day or two before Christmas. I can't even imagine how much that one single Portillo's location makes every day during the lunch rush.

Please post questions in the Question and Answer section.

What are "essential tremors?" You mentioned the doctor told you that's what they are. Any more information as to cause? Never mind... I looked it up. Interesting... I had never heard of that condition.

With all the snow we're getting this winter around here, this must be all those "shovel ready jobs" I've heard about...

Summer would be great... but that winter view from your model room window is pretty nice!

If I was King of the World, my calendar would be May, June, July, August, September. That's it.

Just an FYI... your pants may be too loose. And you may lose your keys. But you can't "loose" your mind.

60? I'm ready for 80!

What a cool "blast from the past!"

Yeah... I know. Back to Antarctica.

A 12 ounce can of Rustoleum costs $3.49 at the local home center around here. Kind of hard to justify paying twice that much for 1/4 the paint for a can of "model paint" at the hobby shop! Rustoleum spray: 29¢ per ounce. Testors/Tamiya spray: $2.30 per ounce

I also heard that around here, January 2014 had the fourth highest snowfall total of any January since they began keeping records. And February (tomorrow) will be off to a good start... they're predicting 6-10 inches for tomorrow. We sure are getting our share of the "s" word around here.

I think it looks pretty slick. I also like the dark red interior with the black (although a tan interior would also have looked good).

We're finally out of the deep freeze... it's been in the upper teens and twenties the past few days... but we're supposed to get (depending on which report you want to believe) 6-10 inches tomorrow. That's on top of all the old snow that still hasn't melted because it's been so cold for so long. I see where Atlanta was literally paralyzed by 2 inches of snow the other day. I guess 2 inches in Atlanta equals 20 inches here, but still... total gridlock? Two inches?

As long as you paint them all the same color!

Well, the vote is about as close as can be... final vote 28 REAL, 27 MODEL. And the answer is... REAL!

Beautifully done! I love all the added detail, and the piano-hinged hood looks perfect. Dang, man... you're stealing my brass-era thunder!

No way. I'll take a hot steamy day over a frigid cold day any time. I can sit out on my deck on the hottest day of the year, sipping a cold beer, relaxing and feeling no pain. If I try that on the coldest day of the year, I'd be dead in an hour.

And besides that, it has nothing to do with "brains," it's about collectibility, rarity, and value. If you own an item that is incredibly rare, it has value to collectors... so paying big bucks for it (if you have the money to spend) isn't stupid, it's smart... because odds are the value of that item will rise as time goes by. Think of it as an investment. You can invest in many things... stocks, coins, art... or collectibles. Nothing stupid about that, especially when you sell the item for a nice profit.

So that would be the guy who just bought it for $17 thou? Nice profit if he can get his asking price!

That's pretty cool. It's been posted here before, but always worth a look.

We're supposed to get near 30 degrees tomorrow! Guess I better make sure the AC is working...

What paint did you use?

Wow! Interesting. I didn't know that car existed. I would love to build a model of that.
