  1. I didn't do anything to the photo... I posted exactly what I found.
  2. Well, that figures, doesn't it? Ontario has the biggest population of any province.
  3. I just got a few samples of your parts in the mail. Amazing, when you hold the parts in your hands, to think how they were produced.
  4. I visited Toronto way before you were born! It was about 25 years ago... nice city. The CN Tower was a hoot... looking straight down through those windows! And I loved the old-fashioned streetcars. Do they still have them?
  5. I visited Toronto once... does that count???
  6. What, no 1/8 scale???
  7. Mike, there's a fly on your pizza...
  8. So... has evilone left the building yet?
  9. Ok... final vote 40 REAL, 26 MODEL. Well, I did fool a lot of you... but it's REAL! Next ROM coming MONDAY!
  10. We're supposed to get more overnight and more tomorrow. I wonder if Al Gore would be willing to fly in and help me shovel???
  11. Looks good already... the decals should make it that much better. But what's with the "crumbling" chrome trim on the A pillar and vent wing? Nice vinyl top, BTW...
  12. BTW... off topic but interesting... I was just outside shoveling 6" of "global warming" off my driveway!!!
  13. Thanks for the literal LOL!
  14. From freedictionary.com: Say your piece: to express your opinion about something, especially something that you do not like. "I don't feel there's anything more I can add now - I've said my piece." In yer face, perfesser!
  15. Much easier to bend the wood than to try and cut out a curved shape. Get some thin wood strip like the kind they use on model ships for planking and trim, soak it in a glass of water overnight, then next day take it out, form it to the curve of the door cutout by attaching it to the door with masking tape. Once it dries, it'll spring out a little, but not much. Then just test fit, trim the excess off the ends, stain, varnish or clear acrylic, and CA glue into place. You'll get a perfect fit around the cutout radius without trying to saw out a curved piece that's not only got the correct curve, but also has uniform thickness throughout. It's MUCH easier to use the strip/soak/bend method. BTW... if you have a Hobby Lobby nearby, they have a nice selection of balsa and basswood in different thicknesses. You can stain it any color you like to make it look like "walnut," "cherry," or whatever.
  16. I just have one thing to add: George, you should have said your piece right here, not somewhere else. If you have a problem here, you ought to deal with it here. Just my 2¢...

  18. "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley (Eagles)... Can we film the operation, is the head dead yet? The boys in the newsroom got a running bet. Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry!
  19. Yeah, isn't it strange that threads like that get, by far, the most attention? And yeah... I took the popcorn. So sue me...
  20. Send any cash contributions to me. I'll be sure and put them to good use!!!
  21. Exactly right. PCs have pretty much caught up with Macs as far as user friendliness. But the difference was much more pronounced years ago, when I was first learning computers. It all comes down to what you grew up with, I suppose. I was a Mac guy from Day 1, probably always will be. But all the software now comes in both Mac and PC versions. The difference between Mac and PC these days is really pretty insignificant. PCs now operate in a way that an average human can understand (finally!!!)... and Macs can run MS business programs (finally!!!). Now if only MS could actually come up with an OS that works. I haven't tried Windows 7, my PCs both run Vista... which is quirky and annoying. Oh well, Vista sure didn't last long as the default PC OS!
  22. If your computer keeps crashing while manipulating heavy duty files, it could be that you don't have enough hard disk space for the software to function (scratch disk space). I dunno... I've been on Mac since I've been on computers. I've always found Macs to work better for me than PCs. Part of that may just be familiarity/comfort with Mac OS vs. PC OS. I do have a PC laptop and PC tower too, but almost never use them. Years ago, Macs were a lot more user friendly and intuitive compared to PCs... not because Macs were that much better, but because PCs were that much worse! They were very geeky, tech-oriented, seemed to be tailored more towards the geek market than the mass market. Remember MS-Dos? Sheesh... Nowadays, the OS of both Mac and PC have become very similar, and there's not much difference, really, in day to day operation between the two. Mac has adapted the best features of the PC OS, and vice versa. But still, nobody is writing viruses for Mac. That alone makes being on a Mac worth it!
  23. You can shut down your computer or shut down your internet without logging out of sites.When I shut down for the day I never log out of here... saves me the trouble of logging in the next day.
  24. I just edited it for you. That'll be 5 bucks.
