Bobcat excavators are fun to use, and make light work of trenching and post-hole digging.

Nothing unusual here. People who write marketing and packaging copy don't always actually know anything about what they're describing. Pay attention and you'll see similar idiocy everywhere. Competence isn't necessarily a requisite for employment, and knowledgeable, effective oversight is often lacking. It's just the way things are today.

Have you waxed the model previously, or possibly used a "polish" containing wax or silicone? Any of the above will cause your problem too.

Zeppelin propulsion, specifically the American rigid airships Akron and Macon, was one of the originally intended uses of the Allison V-1710, but both ships were lost while the engine was still in development.

Wears, wares, and where's are also frequently misused and confused.

Filmed-over eyes on the fish in the bucket is a good indication they need to be put on ice pretty soon.

Looks great. Looks like a fun, low stress build too. I remember seeing drag strip Cobras that had been put together from bits after the cars got pretty cheap, some with solid rear ends because the IRS wasn't the best for drag-race reliability. Those wider rear tires made me think of that immediately. Nice job building something cool from leftovers.

I love them too, but this summer has been one of the wettest I can remember. The three suburban crops that define life in the South in summer...mold, mildew, and mosquitos...are doing really, really well.

Came home early to mow my lawn and was greeted by a popup thunderstorm. Drat.

Heads are not always the repositories of brains.

Words can never hurt me and are often best dealt with using sarcasm, but if somebody comes at me with sticks and stones, I'll retaliate in kind.

Just for you. Feel better now?

Apostrophes must be harder than fractions, judging from the frequency they're misused.

Dog ends (the unsmoked end of a cigarette) were often collected for recycling during economic hard times (like the Depression and after WW II in Europe); the tobacco was rolled out, mixed, and re-rolled using fresh papers, into full size smokes.

Knuckles from pigs are pretty tasty prepared right, assuming you can get past what they're called.

Yup, definitely likin' that.

OK. So sue me. I usually don't keep up with celeb deaths, neither read nor post obits, especially about sports figures, so I missed it.

Excellent. Great to see motivated and skilled people like you showing more of what's possible with this tech.

Magazine articles can be great sources of information, but anyone who's been paying attention over the last few decades will have seen the amount and quality of text decline markedly, as the written (or printed) word has been largely replaced by "instructional" videos of often dubious value.

"Soup to nuts" is an idiomatic expression that means everything in a process, from beginning to end; it is of course in reference to the courses of a meal, starting with soup and ending after dessert with nuts.

Try reading the game rules.

Nice job ruining the game. Try reading the rules next time.

Makers of kits are like the vast majority of goods manufacturers, preferring to safely exploit a known customer base with mildly "improved" existing product, rather than risk investing heavily in something new that may not generate a profitable return.

Mine the internet for nuggets of wisdom.
