  1. Yeah, anyone with any semblance of a brain knows it's vastly more important to be able to get 12 contradictory answers to any question, run talking customer-service bots that have even less clue than minimum-wage humans, and generate deep-fake videos of things like Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan hill with a regiment of genetically-engineered opposable-thumbed cats than to be able to actually make things in the physical realm.
  2. That would be a reasonable assumption, but yesterday and the day before were the same as today, same barometric pressure, same overnight temp, same humidity...and I felt kinda like dog snot both days. Today I feel really, really good. Need to get cranking and make the best of it.
  3. Odd. Some days I wake up feeling every bit of my 130 years. Other days I feel as good as I did in my 30s. Today is one of those days. Thanks to who knows.
  4. These might be what you're looking for...unless you mean 3/4 ton https://www.modelhaustires.com/collection/800
  5. Procrastination is the art of not doing today what you can do tomorrow, or even, if you're a master at it, next week.
  6. "Now" isn't always optimum, as factors can come into play that absolutely require delay.
  7. Yup. That's the unfortunate truth of it.
  8. "Honest", to most people, either means you haven't been caught in a big lie yet or you're accomplished at spinning whatever you say so you can CYA later.
  9. Gum-chewing and walking simultaneously really was too much for a girl I knew a long time back, and she couldn't smoke and walk either, honest.
  10. Is that what they mean when they talk about all the "opportunities" if / when heavy manufacturing comes back to the USA? Asking for a friend.
  11. Always an inspirational treat to see scratch-built brass chassis work.
  12. Radio waves beamed from nefarious players trying to reprogram your brain can be effectively blocked by hats made of tinfoil.
  13. Here's one for youse fellers who might want to build the ultimate what-if stovebolt 6...a Wayne DOHC head. It may or may not have ever run.
  14. Daddy plays the squeeze box.
  15. I'm going to refrain from comment on that very interesting photo until I actually have good info.
  16. That photo has three one-barrel downdraft carbs, not fuel injection.
  17. Punch me and I'll fall down and cry for my mommy.
  18. "Bee to be, or bee not to be?" is the buzzing question in the hive mind.
  19. Not my circus Not my monkey Not my problem ---------------------------------------- Seriously considering adopting this as my personal motto.
  20. "Saint Paul" was what I used to call a friend who was unashamedly and hypocritically holier-than-thou on occasion.
  21. "Stinky" doesn't even begin to describe the joys of working with polyester resin on a large layup in a closed building on a hot, humid day when breathing apparatus and 'boiler suits' are just about mandatory for survival, and the AC breaks down but you have a schedule to maintain.
  22. Sentence after sentence describing my lack of respect for a lot of the garbage that gets hailed as "art" these days, when plugged in to the AI for comment, results in it explaining to me how ignorant I am because I won't ooh and ahh with appreciation for the artistic merit of vomit and used toilet paper on a plate, sealed in clear resin.
  23. 73F, clear, 43% humidity, low tonight in the mid 50s. Tomorrow's forecast is sunny with a high of 82, low tomorrow night again in the mid 50s.
