'Instructions aren't available for raising kids' is a crock of baloney, as there's a Billion books written on the subject............

Honey mixed with yellow mustard makes an awesome dip for corndogs..........

(sorry, misread........... )

Earlier in my life, when I was a kid, I used to want to be abducted by aliens.......... (without all the prodding and tests, of course......)

My man can go from building crusty pickups to clean Corvettes....... and do a good job with Both!

What about the MN12 Thunderbird SC coupe kit....... or is that even the same engine? You'd need an intake manifold of some sort......

Emmett has some kinda kooky behaviors that I find kind of endearing....... My apartment has a straight length of area that we play fetch in. His food dishes are in that walkway. He'll run after the ball, but when he gets to his dishes, he slows down and walks carefully by them..... Then there's this thing about 'Go to the door'. He won't lead to the door to go out! He wants me to go to the door first...... Sometimes he treats the furniture like the floor is lava............

This is really coming along great! The engine and interior, especially....... What are your plans for a shift knob? Beer tap?

'Day after day, I will work and I will play.... but the day after today, I will stop and I will start', lyrics from a Violent Femmes song titled 'Add it up'.........

Anyway you look at it, if Peter Green had stayed in Fleetwood Mac, they would have ended up going in a completely different direction...........

Work was always something I didn't mind doing, because I knew that with work comes money, and with money comes freedoms, like having a vehicle........

Pretty car with a great paint job...... The sombreros were a good choice!

Spent the last couple days getting these parts in paint....... There is a pin missing from one of the cowl hinges, I'll have to repair that. The paint is Rustoleum gloss gray, but to me on the screen it looks a little purple?

An aside real quick...... Bill, when you typed in "Budge is an adult budget", google picked that up as being true! So, when you searched whatever to get that result, AI made up a definition based on YOUR post! Woooowwwww..........

New Year's was some time back, Mr. Budge.................

'Trouble No More' is a song by one of my favorite bands, the Allman Brothers Band.......

Kinda like the 'choose two of the three' joke with mechanic shops.......... Great food, fair prices, good service, pick two!

Cabinets are fun to paint, too, with a nice oil-based paint.............

Fiercely burning dryers usually mean that you won't have to do any ironing........

Wait until you have to remove flash from the little eyelets in the front-end.... Most everything fits, though, so far!

Skipping around a bit, I've primed and painted the seats...... Still need to paint the legs gloss black. This is my first time using Krylon 'short cuts', and I was pretty impressed with how easy it is to work with.......... The color is called 'Espresso'.

Interest in cars has me looking at classifieds just to see what's out there...........

I've got this kat that lives across the parking lot in the complex here......... He has three cars out front, all of which need special attention to start. One he has to jump the battery every time, one that always has a flat, and one he must talk to like it's Christine or something..... Anyways, the funny thing is, he's had the rear wheel off of his woman's car every day this week! He'll remove it, drive it up town to somewhere (maybe McDonalds? ), then come back and put it back on.......... I tell people that he is such a good mechanic, that his cars break down just to be worked on!

That's something that I really enjoy seeing, a factory-looking but larger diameter wheel! The Magnum 500s look really nice exaggerated............. and it's something besides a torq-thrust or Cragar!

That green Citroen SM is something nice.............
