  1. Orion, NASA's current manned-exploration spacecraft, just sent back photos of the Earth and the Moon during an unmanned test flight.
  2. Dpate's suggested PE replacement is the hot setup if you want a really nice job....unless you're really really good working with riffler files and micro tools under magnification.
  3. Sometimes this old generic mall music takes me back to a better time...back when I believed people were mostly decent and reasonably intelligent.
  4. Wanted: Dead or Alive starred Steve McQueen as a bounty hunter.
  5. "Stated value" insurance can be a very cost effective way to protect a classic car investment.
  6. Mr. Turkey's in the oven, most of the rest of the prep's done, and I don't have to do anything else (much) for a couple of hours. The model bench is calling my name...
  7. Table manners also seem to be among the long list of "no longer relevant" concepts.
  8. I've often thought that if I caught somebody actually in the act, I'd kinda like to nail their feet to the pavement and hit 'em in the face with a shovel. Yup, you think wanton destruction is fun? Let's teach you all about it. EDIT: Even though the car may appear to be "abandoned", the fact it's been moved would indicate otherwise. So NOW, instead of just having to deal with the age-related deterioration that was already there, somebody will need to cover the windshield area to keep water from destroying whatever's left of the interior, rotting the carpets and floors out, etc. So not only is the act of smashing the windshield a stupid, mindless, gutless attack on an inanimate object that can't fight back, it's become a personal attack on the person who owns the poor thing, reducing the value even further, and stealing time and money from whoever will have to deal with the consequences.
  9. Judge not idiocy, that ye be not flamed and canceled.
  10. That's actually the famous cow-induction hood.
  11. Grounded outlets with ground-fault-circuit-interrupter protection are good to have in kitchens and bathrooms, and are now required by most electrical codes.
  12. Yup, looking good. I'm intimately familiar with these cars in 1:1, after having specialized in maintenance, repair, and heavy resto work on them for decades. The kit has some conspicuous "issues" (quoting Bainford "a lot of what's there is not really representative of the 1:1"), but your work is progressing towards a very fine model overall.
  13. "Stressful" is what modern daily life activities are often referred to, things like having to pick up the dry cleaning and go grocery shopping...OMG OMG...BOTH ON THE SAME DAY !!!!!!!
  14. Hearing this: "Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade".
