Repeated is kinda like rebleated, but not as mindless.

Attended gas pumps are pretty much ancient history.

Lead off with a superb lead sled build, and you may find you've taken the lead in establishing renewed interest in period kustoms...especially among those who are easily led.

Looks remarkably good, but with some better wheels and a few other tweaks, it could be beautiful. Nice score...and I think I'll be having one. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll have to look into that. The pictures on the packages look great. Thanks. I can cook most of the Indian I really like (though I haven't yet attempted paneer, a kind of homemade chunk cottage cheese), either from scratch or using commercially available sauces. There's enough of an Indian community where I am so the major stores stock at least a few, and they're pretty good if you're in a hurry, but usually need punching up in the seasonings, as they're kinda dumbed down for American tastes. My local Publix also stocks naan bread, basmati rice, several chutneys and Indian pickles, and all the spices...which helps. Seems I recall seeing the Trader Joe's brand, and figgered they'd be toned down too. I'll definitely give 'em a try.

Y'all be makin' me hungry. Haven't tried it yet, but there's a new Indian restaurant a couple blocks from home. Probably try it this week. Vindaloo, baby. Oh yeah.

Dressage was one of my first serious girlfriend's fields of accomplishment.

Body Positivity Ad Absurdum

World War Two came to America on this day in 1941, and it's a good reminder to pay attention to global events.

There are literally hundreds of designs, many of them entirely throttleable.

Problem solved: micro butane torch

Kits are mostly a lot of bodged messes waiting to happen.

Or as some of my cohorts used to say "(blank) 'em all, let God sort 'em out".

Nice nice nice nice nice.

Happiness can be found, in part, by being thankful for simple things like the feel of a hot shower at the end of a hard day, or the colors in a sunrise.

Looks great. Clean clean clean. And a much better job of fitting the hood to the cowl and radiator shell than most builders seem to be able to manage; looks perfect, actually.

Seam sealer is often left off during collision repairs by lazy...or just stoopid...shop personnel.

"Over and out" gets a whole new meaning.

Forever is almost as long as two more years are going to seem.

You, sir, are a very wise man.

Great looking model. It's builds like this that are stirring my interest in possibly modeling that period of NASCAR.

Sadly, it's my generation of parents who started the trend towards helpless privileged-without-responsibility offspring, and their offspring who started the whole ludicrous "everyone's a winner" routine. So what you have now is a bunch of whiners who can't take responsibility for anything, and need their failures to be somebody else's fault, because of course it can't be the fault of a perfect, unique little snowflake. Funny about the "Do you want comfort or a solution?" thing too. Used to be women whiners wanted primarily comfort, while men would generally offer solutions. At least that was the stereotype, and for good reason...and a big thing women used to complain about regarding men. But in the increasingly low-T world we now inhabit, it's often difficult to find any behavioral differences between "men" and spoiled little girls from generations ago.

Today's irk...current women's "vanity sizing". I have a female significant other who hasn't ballooned up to look like a hippo standing on its hind legs. I know her taste, what she looks good in, and I've been trying to shop for her for Christmas. Unfortunately, the sizes I used to be familiar with when shopping for women's gift clothing have no relation to the sizes put on garments today. In many cases, today's "small" used to be pleasantly plump, "medium" would have been for a woman who was, let's just say "stout", and todays "large" would fit a pregnant manatee. The number sizes are equally all out of control. A woman's "size 0" garment with a 28 inch waist? Really? Makes it kinda difficult to shop online if no measurements are given (just sizes that may or may not have any relation to reality), or without taking a tape measure to the mall...and boy, will that get you some funny looks.

Period "what if?" builds are my favorite.

Gustation should never be confused with gestation.
