Quiet and thoughtful is the way I like my women.

Master's voice made the puppy curious.

1959. It was actually raced too.

I'd halfta go wid dis wun...

While waiting for Godot, Vlad and Estragon had time for a Lucky Pozzo pizza.

Morning sickness may be a sign your life just got a lot more complicated.

Dinosaur meat tastes like chicken.

Blade Runner cop cars... Two Lane Blacktop '55... ...and the tanker from Duel.

There's a lot of useless 3rd-rate mediocrity celebrated on YT, but there's also some good info if you dig for it. These appear to be the latter, perhaps:

Over and out, Gracie; just say good night.

"Retired" doesn't describe me as well as "retread" does: same old carcass going round and round, but with a thinner skin.

Shaping up to be clear and mid-60s this PM, so maybe I can get another hike in a little later.

Weekend warriors often need painkillers to make it through Mondays.

PM'd (not all of 'em)

Thanks for the heads-up on that one.

Cash sure doesn't seem to go as far as it used to.

Thanks for posting that, and the links. Her work is absolutely top-line, and the links are worth reading for anyone who appreciates modelining or machine work.

Sound judgement often precludes me from saying exactly what I'm really thinking.

Oblivion parts from several sources at various prices are very often all the same substandard "offshore" garbage, just put in different counterfeit boxes and marked up obscenely...and I'm talking about you primarily, ebay and Amazon. https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2024/09/25/feds-launch-campaign-warning-consumers-of-fake-auto-parts/

Business models that are excessively timid and reactive are just as prone to failure as those that are excessively aggressive and "out there".

"SALE SALE SALE" seems to be the universal window decoration at the mall stores right now, and an acquaintance remarked she thought Christmas ought to be in January so gifts would be cheaper after all the late December markdowns.

OK...I want to know the story about painting space vehicles.

"brrrrrrr" makes me think of an M134 minigun.

If I were doing that hood swap, I'd simply add stock to both sides, and front and back. Smoothing the resulting seams would be far easier than trying to accurately cut-and-paste the scoop section into the original hood. Done carefully, nobody would ever see anything was wrong unless they went at it with calipers. Either way, your scoops will be 1/25 scale, and a 1/25 scale distance apart, so why make your life any more difficult than it has to be?

Years like the one leaving I can do without, but I guess a bad year above ground is better than one below.
