Fast women used to be slower apparently, 'cause I can't catch 'em anymore.

Ranchero eggs (huevos rancheros) are one of my favorite breakfasts.

Yup, semi-useless un-shrouded little bee fart fans just like that.

Actually, shooting aircraft is a federal crime, may be a felony, unmanned drones or anything else. https://uavcoach.com/shoot-drone/

Cars that are half trucks are kinda useful.

Near as I can tell, the '62 hasn't been repopped any time recently, but Mark will know.

Same thing's happened here, and is beginning to take over the place I'm in out in AZ. The county I'm in here in GA was mostly farms when I arrived. 5 minutes, you were out of town and into sparsely traveled but well maintained rural roads, real sports car country. Now it takes two hours to get out of the urban sprawl, and driving anything interesting is just begging to have some texting moron or uninsured newcomer destroy it...as has happened to several folks I know. Too many stupid people ruin everything.

Montana is the location of Ted Turner's ranch.

I think it's aliens disguised as drones. EDIT: And the gubmint knows and is complicit, making everyone think they're really gubmint craft, as everyone in gubmint is lizard creatures anyway, like Mr. Faceborg. Cue X-Files music.

My old 4 MP Nikon doesn't. I'm an old film photographer, and I made part of my living as one for a while, including developing and printing my own work. Color films were selected depending on the light source temperature, as in "daylight" and "incandescent". My little old obsolete Nikon behaves the same way as an old film camera, loaded with "daylight" film. Soft white renders distinctly yellow. I've posted many photos in the past where the color balance was way too yellow-warm, before I adjusted my light source to compensate. There are many ways to get good results for web photos.

Boothe Lake in Yosemite Nat. Park is worth a visit if you like the outdoors.

Nice clean build, and nice collection of diggers too. Is the Attempt an early issue? I seem to remember those narrow tread front tires were replaced by wider Pirellis in later issues.

I agree, and if I wasn't still working, I'd be a little ball of uselessness living on pain meds. It's really not all that bad, as I can still do most of what I've always done. It just takes longer every morning to get functional...and a handful of ibuprofen.

Yes indeed, beautiful model. One of those would sure make a nice daily driver.

Man, that is nice. In other news, I mailed out the last of my Christmas presents, so they're all in the hands of the fine folks at USPS. Everything went priority, so there should be plenty of time...

Mounts for the engine on the '66 Chevelle I'm finishing up were welded in about 1.5" too high AND too far forward, because the highly-paid chimp who built the custom frame didn't actually measure anything, made the front frame rails too close together, so had to wonkify the engine placement to make room for headers.

Largely the story of my life last few years, as is chronic pain lately. Wait...I thought I was retired.

Mount (of the engine kind) failures were getting to be fairly common on one particular model of US car quite some time back, and the shadetree "fix" was to bolt a piece of chain between the head and the frame, so that in the event of mount separation, the engine wouldn't torque over and jam the throttle wide open.

Probably the best way to let a potential trader (or buyer) get a quick idea of what's there without having to sort through it all, counting wheel sets, etc.

Dents won't be of much concern when the body mounts rust off (like the bumper supports) and you're dragging the rockers on the road.

This really isn't a great video, with the poor editing typical of so much car stuff on YT (cars don't match the idiot computer-read voiceover, a fair bit of wrong info, etc.), but there are some great shots of the things in action etc. Definitely a good resource for anyone building one, or who just loves to look at them...like me. EDIT: YT apparently doesn't allow this one to embed, so you'll have to work a little harder and click the link. Oh, the humanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPenH_CSmog&ab_channel=SUVBeyond‧93Kviews‧21minutesago

Undercarriage bits and the operation thereof are often not fully understood or correctly represented by modelers of all kinds of stuff.

"Muse" isn't the sound kittens make.

Old age is rough sometimes, and it takes a lifetime's worth of experience to be able to deal with it.
