You can also try a different browser if you're using Chrome. Alphabet/Google/Chrome/YooToob are all the same entity, essentially, and work together to more effectively thwart ad-blockers.

That was the case for a while, but YT has figgered out how to tell if you're running it now. Kinda bait-and-switch on the part of AdBlock...which has doubled it's monthly fee recently too. PS: Ad-blockers really don't give unsupported computers any more "protection". All they do is remove a source of annoyance for those of us who hate the ad's intrusiveness in everything, everywhere. "BUY BUY BUY THIS OVERPRICED THING/SERVICE YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT...NOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" What you need now more than ever is a good cost-effective anti-virus that's not bloated with useless garbage and tracking.

^^^ What Bob said. They've been cracking down on ad-blockers for a while now, but it's kinda spotty whether they shut you down or not. I just ponied up the few bucks a month ($13 or so) to see everything on YT ad-free. I hate giving Alphabet any money, but for now, YT is pretty much the only game in town.

^^^ Correct.

Good question.

Well, I guess little Timmy's just going to have to stay stuck in the well. Always thought she was very pretty, in the classic, understated '50s kind of way.

To the best of my recollectory, the panel van was introed first as a custom street-rod truck with a 289ish smallblock and a host of other non-stock features. The pickup was an offshoot of the panel truck tooling, also not at all stock. Bear in mind that these kits have some pretty blatant proportion and line issues with the bodies, the most prominent being the 'forehead' over the windshield, and the height and shape of the hood.

Pretty much my life philosophy, but I haven't always taken heed of a couple other really important directives: 1) Pay attention 2) Never trust anyone else 100%. Though someone may not intend to hurt you, your outcomes are not their primary interest. 3) Develop long-term plans and goals and stick to them. Don't rely on luck for things to just work out. 4) Be willing to change or modify long-term plans and goals as situations change. 5) PAY ATTENTION

Another one's in the books. Great turnout, club and organizational upgrades worked well, lotsa super models, and probably the best vendor turnout ever...one of which was Norm of Replicas and Miniatures, who looks good and seems to be doing very well. Great guy to talk to too. As many photogs as were there, I'm sure the YT coverage will be up in not long. Didn't spend as much as usual, but a few things followed me home. Now to find time to build something...

This is the kind of stuff AI at its current level of development is really good for. Really really good. But it's not ready for prime-time on medical diagnostics or legal work yet, or anything else mission-critical, and every day the news is full of the proof. Nice work, gentlemen.

98% sure I have one. I'll have to do some digging... You have a PM incoming too...

Another fearless warrior kitty...

Great looking models, great looking composites. Really really cool.

Nope. This one.

It occasionally hangs and does a bunch of other weird stuff. But I realize it's all a figment of my old-man Luddite delusions. Tech is all perfect and wonderful...just like AI...so I just deal with it as it comes up.

Sunday's forecast is for rain of burning frogs mixed with brimstone hail, but hey...at least I'll be able to sleep an hour later.

"Works" race cars referred to those fielded by the factory, as opposed to independent teams.

Mind where you pee and queue.

"Walmarts", as they say, was the only place within miles of the shop Wednesday afternoon where I could get hot-glue sticks, which I use extensively for CAD (cardboard aided design).

Yessir, that photo right there is one of the main reasons I love AZ. I haven't given up on the dream yet, but it's gonna take a while...

According to the BBC, France only accounts for 1.8% of goods imported into the US, and the blanket tariff is 15%...which I'd very happily pay if that's what it takes to get wheels from this guy. Glad this topic came up, as I'd kinda forgotten how beautiful his stuff looks. I need vintage '30s-'40s-'50s race-car wires (like Pierre's, above), as well as seeing if he'll do a run of dragster front wires...plus sets of everything he lists as stock items. Time to try an eBay order for a start, I guess.

Where'er ye be, letcher wind blow free.
