Uncomfortable gaps in conversation on a date can be an indication two people are not compatible intellectually or emotionally, or that at least one of them is a self-absorbed narcissist.

Thanks.

Yes, beautiful work. Nicely photographed too. Sure would like to have a real one.

I'm always kinda shocked and mystified that more people aren't shocked and mystified by a lot of what's going on in the world today, but looking the other way and pretending everything's OK seems to be the mainstream approach to life. I don't know if it's apathy, willful ignorance, or just abject stupidity on a global scale.

Fast cars have been the focus of much of my life.

Sounds like an excellent plan. Nice photo too. I miss the snow up North.

Exit strategies are essential to effective contingency planning.

Remember the days when people would buy ANYTHING on eBay?

Family political differences can strain holiday gatherings these days.

Pretty cool.

Fierce-seeming women can be worthwhile to tame...sometimes.

I don't like a concrete floor in a model shop because it feels too cold, sterile, industrial, unfinished-basementy...not conducive to me for doing exacting work while sitting, and feels too much like "work" work. My last house had fairly long pile carpet in the bedroom I used for the model shop. It was comfortable and warm, but parts disappeared easily. I have a hardwood floor in the area I model in now, and it seems ideal. Chair rolls well, wood is warm and inviting, parts don't fall into anything and get lost; though they might bounce or roll away, they're still easily rounded up, and keeping it clean is no bother, etc.

Not really "irked" but it's going to be 8 deg F here, -5 deg F with the forecast wind chill (about -20 C), which is the coldest since I've lived in this part of the country (1969). Leaving work early this PM to wrap outside faucets, provide better shelter for the feral cats, etc.

How about some Tatras?

USPS: shipped a package out West on Monday. It dropped off the radar and I was beginning to get concerned. Checked the tracking just now, and it's ready for pickup at the PO out there, one day early. Obviously they CAN get it right. Thanks USPS. Good job.

Pleasure-seeking through consumption can become an endless cycle of disappointment.
