I got a '69 F100 as an early gift and have been making progress on it, but my favorite gift was this shirt...... My family knows me all too well............. !

I was just curious as to what holiday movies you are enjoying with your families today.......

Correct, friend! and Blind Melon covered it, it's on their Nico album................

"They gave him 10 for 2, What else can those ol' Judges do?" Extra points for the cover artist, and Super DUPER Bonus if you know what "10 for 2" means............ Remember the Reason for the Season...........

Yankovic almost got into some legal trouble over that song! Seems that Coolio never gave him permission to parody his song "Gangsta's Paradise"........... Still, in the 80's and 90's, if Weird Al made fun of you, you'd known that you had made it........!

Amish Paradise? by Weird Al....

@Charlie....... Thelonious Monk was one of those artist that people didn't "get" when he was still living. It wasn't until after he passed that he was hailed a genius because of his work........ He was born here in the big NC!

Seems like I've heard of this group before.........!

I like most of Tom Morello's music...... he's proof that you can make any sound you want with a guitar!

I almost forgot the two most important aspects of making music, writing and producing! I would have Alan Parsons produce, and probably Claypool as lyricist as he's already in the band...........

Yea, Buckethead is an awesome player! His ego gets the best of him sometimes, though............... He had a chance to play for Ozzy, but he wouldn't let Ozzy call him by his real name, only "Buckethead".............

I believe the '90 Mustang LX Drag Car has Drag Lite wheels..... Weld 5-spokes, right?

If you could build a band, who would be in it? Here's my line-up.................... Les Claypool from Primus on bass, Danny Carey from Tool on drums, Dave Matthews on rhythm, Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes for vocals, Buckethead on lead guitar.......

Yea, I guess there's more than one way to skin a ship...... err, rig a cat...!! I am still curious as to tightening the lines with the wood lime solution, if you care to share..........

Phil, that's a nice ship.........!! I've been gluing the knots all along, I think that where my sagging is coming from is the masts flexing.........

That one is easy.......... You have to buy 2 packs of wieners and 3 packs of buns to have enough to pair up equally.

Thanks for the tips, Michael......... What is wood lime, and where can I get some? The more lines I run, it's causing the others to sag. Your tip sounds like just what I need to do. Do I apply the wood lime after I've ran all the lines? or can I do that as I go? Thank You................

Nah, friend....... I'm not. Should I be?

My Mom, sister, and I are all sending her one........ I too hope she gets a BUNCH of cards, from all over!

Wow! That's impressive.............!

Friend #2 goes to visit Friend #1, who is laying on his death bed. Friend 1 says to #2 "When I die, I want you to take a bottle of the finest whiskey, and sprinkle it over my grave" Friend 2 says, "Sure thing friend, but I have but one question....... Do you mind if I pass it through my kidneys first?"

Thanks for the advise, Michael! I'll try as you suggest, you seem to be trying to help me in earnest and I appreciate that........ The standing rigging is "part B" of the instructions, right? It's broken down into steps, and if I take it a step at a time, it shouldn't be to hard to do.......... Skill level 3 of a ship is a little more challenging than level 3 of an auto kit.......!!

Hey, friend and thanks! Yea, there is some rigging to do still......... I'm doing this per the instructions, I doubt it gets all the rigging, but I do want enough of it to make things look more interesting..........

Just thought I would show you guys what bit of progress I've made on this........... Still have one more mast to add the sails to..! Comments welcome.........

This really is sad news........... He was a huge influence on a lot of people............
