  1. Dog lovers with chihuahuas should be careful of cat lovers with pumas.
  2. All they have to do is use the email address they provided when they signed up and the existing password.
  3. End unfair appropriation of gravity so that everybody weighs the same !!!!
  4. Toes to toes with your Bose in it means something but I fergit just zactly what, though it might be about speakers...or sneakers.
  5. Here's more mix-and match info on hot flatheads, just to confuse you thoroughly...
  6. Home is where the hard-hat hangs.
  7. Whole lotta stuff out there if you know what you want, even Ardun heads in the Revell '50 Ford pickup (but be aware the earliest versions have incorrect exhaust manifolds)... ...and if you want really wild, Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland has the most exquisite little S.C.o.T. blower for a flathead you'll ever see. EDIT: Some of the 3D / resin Ardun engines have only 3 exhaust ports and primary header pipes, which is the same mistake the early Revell Ardun engine had. A correct Ardun has FOUR exhaust ports on each head, naturally having FOUR exhaust primaries as well. EDIT 2: A S.C.o.T. blower is pretty much the ultimate engine jewelry for any hot flathead, whether flat-headed or Ardun-headed.
  8. Probably the only thing I'd ever buy from TEMU.
  9. For airbrushing, model-builder extraordinaire Donn Yost recommended thinning Testors bottle enamels with cheap lacquer thinner. He's no longer with us, but his website still seems to offer his 90 minute DVD on painting model cars. http://oldmansmodels.com/id76.html His typical results would tend to prove he was right...
  10. Block people whose ideas you disagree with, even if you know absolutely nothing about the topic you are heavily opinionated on, to maintain the safety of your own beliefs inside the echo-chamber you choose to inhabit.
  11. Corndogs like guacamole and salsa and melted cheese dips too.
  12. Just out of curiosity, what is y'all's thinking on the micro-cracking on the surface of those rotors?
  13. C'mon man. Somebody else'll do it. What's your problem?
  14. Yup, yup, yup. Like it a lot.
  15. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey...
  16. Movie time tomorrow night features chorizo chiz deep, fresh guac, and the last half of LeMans.
  17. Loud noises annoy cats.
  18. Know thyself.
  19. I'm pretty sure that one big reason I still have both eyes and all my digits after 5+ decades in a business that can be unforgivingly "dangerous" is that I learned at a right young age that being careless or not paying attention can have painful consequences, and I have scars to prove it. Fear-based parenting produces young people who are not only risk-averse, but also incapable of recognizing potential risk in the physical world and behaving in a way that would minimize it. Watching "fail" vids on yootoob pretty much proves what happens when people who don't learn to think about how things can go wrong are released into reality.
  20. Windows to the soul, or lack thereof, are everywhere if one only pays attention.
  21. Which proves beyond doubt that neither managers nor the foot-soldiers doing the grunt-work need to be talented, skilled, or have any knowledge whatsoever of the product or anything remotely related to it. Yup. Today's predominant business model was started by Palmer. Who wooda thunk it. And certainly no one can question the excellence such a business philosophy turns out.
  22. Bit by bit, rationality is making a comeback, but we ain't out udda woods yet.
