Good looking model. I'd like to have a 1:1 just like it as a daily.

What's this "TV" you speak of?

Day in, day out, it's usually mostly the same old stuff, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Live long and prothper.

Regulations are often the province of tiny minds who think we're all as stupid and helpless and as prone to poking ourselves in the eyes with chopsticks as they are. (...and it's against the law to do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Saw this one as a WIP. Good looking result. I'd like to build something full-scale in the same flavor.

"Released" is what you hope your mold has done when you try to remove your newly-cast parts.

Up the Down Staircase was a novel published in 1964, made into a movie in '67.

Churches sometimes sponsor weekly or monthly car shows.

With six you get eggroll.

Show me the mummy.

"Task shedding" is the concept of dumping non-essential activities in a crisis or emergency.

With the current state of the world, one must always think through every post using self censorship.

It's been working for me...just checked again and it's OK.

Amish mash of design elements characterized Homer's dream car...

IIRC, '57 was the first year for the Ford 9" rear end, and also the first year for the Borg Warner T-10 four-speed gearbox. EDIT: Yup. Checked. IRC. If you go with a hemi, those would be my choices. Any of the Revell '32 Fords have 9" rear ends that can be made to work with leaf springs (and will look fine under a 1/24 build), and most of the 1/24 Nascar kits have reinforced 9" rears. Though the sheetmetal reinforcement on the Nascar banjo housings wasn't a thing in '57, there's absolutely no reason somebody couldn't have done it. This vintage AMT engine parts pack (below) has both a Chrysler Firepower hemi and a slightly-overscale (for 1/25) T-10...and a whole lotta other good stuff. https://www.ebay.com/itm/326063448991 Only problem is that the hemi is blown...but somebody aftermarket sells a Hilborn injection setup for it, and there are kits with 2X4 manifolds that could be made to work too.

Last time I heard from the snakeman was April 6, when he sent me a photo of his new cane with a Hurst shifter handle. I asked him how everything was going and never heard back. Guess I should have followed up.

That's what I do with all of my ex's dead credit cards. I have a several-lifetime supply.

Wagon wheels on your car announce to the world something about you that's beyond words...

Turn the gas off under the coffee when you go out, or you risk coming home to a large pile of cinders.

I don't know where it all came from, but my property this year is overrun with honeysuckle and some kind of flowering bush or shrub...and they both smell wonderful. I open my windows at night and the exhaust fan pulls it in. S'really nice.

Problems arise when one habitually spends more than is coming in.

Wallet bread may not go moldy and stale, but mine tends to get damp, so it's necessary to spread some around at times to make room for the dry, fresh stuff constantly coming in.

I had a suggestion...but it would probably get me banned for life. Never mind.
