Kinda looking like I've got a nighttime gas thief. The Blazer usually goes 260 miles after a fill before I even have to think about buying more. I reset the trip odo at every fill-up. Last time she was a little short. This time she only went 170 miles. No leaks, no black smoke, no check-engine light, runs fine. Time to buy a locking cap I guess.

Running noses don't get far.

Don't call them "short". Call them "differently lengthed".

Application of nacho-cheese was apparently interrupted when I was waiting for my order at the Bell this evening, as they called my name and told me they'd just run out, but when I got my order home it was just as cheezy as always.

The white spots are what's known as "fisheyes" and are invariably caused by some kind of surface contamination, usually wax or silicone or mold-release agents (probably left in the seams around the hood and decklid). Since I started carefully and thoroughly final-wiping everything with clean white paper towels and 70% isopropyl alcohol years ago, I've had zero fisheyes. Contamination can come from anywhere at any time...furniture polish sprayed in another room, additives in whatever soap you used...I've even seen pollen cause fisheyes. If your primered model sits around for a while, it's a good idea to wipe it with iso just before color too. Ask me how I know.

Another crash, this time in Philly. I've been involved in aviation one way or another for almost 6 decades. This is not the way it's supposed to be.

Don't believe everything you get from the media. The other controller was allowed to clock off early.

I dunno. If you mean the oogie-boogie stuff posted on the Top Master channel (and others), it sounds to me like a lot of made up fear-mongering gobbledygook clickbait hooey (probably generated by AI anyway). But choo just never know (cue X-Files music...) LOTSA FOLKS: ME:

Again with the veiled Taco Bell references?

Outhouse humor stinks.

I guess whoever it was had to prove it, lest there be any doubt.

Thing like "Niagara Falls during a logging operation" in my bathroom would have me chasing the perp with a baseball bat.

Cleared two of the last few hurdles finishing up the 1:1 750HP 572-powered '66 Chevelle build: 1) down to only two candidates from 19 Holley HydraMats, will know which one I want after dropping the tank again Monday and measuring the distance between the lateral baffles, and 2) found solutions for the valve cover breathers and oil-mist catch-can setup, no BS, American engineered, designed, and manufactured too by a bunch of really smart guys.

Spark the Magic Dragon was Puff's little brother.

Drone operator whose toy struck and grounded one of the firebomber aircraft apprehended...

Since I became single last time, there's not a whole lot I've missed...and I can have pie for breakfast.

Those are cool little kits. I stocked up on all of 'em years ago when they were very cheap. I'm sure you've realized they're down around 1/32 scale, unless you opt to build one of the micro streamliners like Pumpkin Seed. I started a similar project, and realized almost every major dimension would need to be enlarged to get most any kind of V8, driveline, and a scale pilot in it.

Mode da lawn I wooda, but it rained.

Odds are I won't be around to know...and if I am, I'll do the adult thing and throw it against the wall.

Expectations not grounded in reality can lead to profound disappointment.

Didn't watch the video, eh? The demonstration has zero to do with "scraping random data".

Anti-freeze tastes sweet and comes in appetizing green and yellow and orange/pink colors, but should not be used as a cocktail mixer.

Good stuff. Hope you're back behind the wheel soon.
