mike 51 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 OK... I just had to delete a bazillion posts. What on earth does the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court ruling have to do with "What did you get today?" Everyone has an opinion on the case. If I could, I'd write several paragraphs on my thoughts about it... but religion and politics... the very basis of the case... aren't allowed here. Thank you....
charlie8575 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I got a new starter bolt. The old one apparently work-hardened, became brittle and broke off flush with the mounting boss. Took my poor, harried mechanic over 4 hours to get that bugger out. Tomorrow is a new alternator for my mother's car. Yay. Charlie Larkin
highway Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Actually got this last Wednesday, but I got a new (to me) ride at work.
Danno Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 that lambo is actually on clearance for 8.and some change at hobby lobby. I seen it Saturday at a couple of them. What they sell on clearance and if they sell on clearance varies from store to store.
Scuderia Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 What they sell on clearance and if they sell on clearance varies from store to store. yeah the HL in my area has not clearanced any kits for some reason, but I'll keep on the look out going forward.
Agent G Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 My girl at the Henderson HL tells me some new stuff is enroute. Some things were discounted, but not a lot. G
slusher Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 that lambo is actually on clearance for 8.and some change at hobby lobby. I seen it Saturday at a couple of them. I saw one also. One of the local Hobby Lobby I went to on Saturday did not have any model kits on clearance The one in my area didn't have to many on clearance but I was a few days getting there. There are so many kits they yet to have like the 70 revell cuda and new mustang police car and many others. I picked up a 67 sox and martin for 8 bucks....
Furiousgeorge Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I've got the S&M Cuda, Dodge Raminator and a Dodge Warlock on the way. I've been wanting that Warlock a long time! I've got an old glue bomb one, but it needs nearly the entire Lil Red kit to rebuild.
charlie8575 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Actually got this last Wednesday, but I got a new (to me) ride at work. Schneider adopted a new scheme, Matt? Last I remember, their trucks were a kind of bright orange like Roadway. Nice looking rig, though. What is it? Charlie Larkin
my80malibu Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Ya, did that this morning and will do again tonight. Had to have some pool service last week, so for the thread as to what I got new--I got a new pool backwash valve for my birthday..the service guy explained it, but I'm not totally clear on the pool mechanicals, but something w/ the pump backwash mechanism wasn't working well and green crud was accumulating. The water seems to be clear now. Those backwash valves start to get stuck when they are not operated on a weekly basis. Enough to actually pull the sealing o-rings off, or just tear them in half sometimes. Even break the handle off at times.

The water seems to be clear now. Yea, pools are just inverted boats! Holes to sink money into! I thought I got off easy this year. Last year my main pump was seized upon opening.. that was $600. This year start up went without mishap until I tried the hot tub. Bubble pump bad. $300. Now the Polaris won't go on at all. It was working fine. Then the valve at the pool wall went bad, putting too much pressure on the pump which was whining. and now that pump is silent.. jury is out on how much this one will be. Maybe I'll be on tomorrow that I got a new pump!
niteowl7710 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Schneider adopted a new scheme, Matt? Last I remember, their trucks were a kind of bright orange like Roadway. Nice looking rig, though. What is it? Charlie Larkin It's a '14 Freightliner Cascadia. Schneider is still using Pumpkin Orange trucks for their OTR & Tanker Divisions. Their Regional Operations trucks are now black, and Dedicated Operations - to whit I formerly was and Matthew currently is, in this case a Wal*Mart Grocery Distribution Account - are white.

Their Regional Operations trucks are now black, and Dedicated Operations - to whit I formerly was and Matthew currently is, in this case a Wal*Mart Grocery Distribution Account - are white. Yep Charlie, just like James said, with one addition. The brand new trucks (which I even delivered one back to the shop at the Walmart DC I work out of in Wintersville, OH with 33 miles on it when I traded my old truck in to the Columbus, OH shop) have and orange border around the black "road" stripe and "Schneider" in orange on the doors. My old ride before this one though was still one of the "pumpkin" trucks, a 2006 Freightliner Century that had a little over 652,000 miles on her when I left her in Columbus. This was the old girl. While I do miss the old truck, I'm happy with the new one. It has much more room and is a double bunk condo, so I can start taking the better half along without being cramped into the small single bunk of the old truck, and I can stand up in the new one. The Century was a flat top cab, and to stand in it I had to hunch over or be about 6 inches shorter! There are some new features I'm still trying to get used to with the new Cascadia also, the biggest being it's "smart" cruise control system. It has a radar mounted in the front bumper that will match the speed of the vehicle in front of me if that vehicle is going slower than the cruise set speed. If a little old lady in a station wagon is doing 50 MPH and I have the cruise set at 60 MPH (the company speed limit), the cruise will automatically slow me to 50 MPH, and also tell me on the in dash display how close the vehicle in front of me is for crash avoidance, and that is whether the cruise is on or not. The cruise control also has a predictive mode, which on certain roads, will use GPS to adjust the speed for hills and curves. It will "know" from the GPS that a hill is approaching and actually go more than the 60 MPH set speed to try to maintain the set speed up the hill, then reduce the cruise throttle at the crest of the hill. The only problems I have had adjusting to the new cruise is when there are some gentle curves in the road not enough to need to slow down for and there is traffic in front of me, the radar momentarily loses the traffic around the bend and starts to resume the set speed, than when the radar "sees" the traffic again, it will slow down again. The only other issue I really have had with it, which I told the shop about when I dropped it of for it's scheduled PM Monday night while I'm home, is that I had it slam on the brakes while I had the cruise on and nothing in front of me! I had a car beside me passing me, which the radar may have caught for a second, but nothing in front of me. I told them I'm used to driving the truck, not the truck driving me!

mustang1989 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Came in the mail yesterday. These Accurate Miniature kits are amazing OOB and I've been wanting one of these for YEARS!! These things usually go for a pretty penny but found it still sealed up in the plastic for 25 bucks. Edited July 2, 2014 by mustang1989
Danno Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 recieved this 58 buick today: Wow! Lucky dawg. I LOVE those '58 Buricks!!! Now THERE'S a subject for Moebius to resurrect!
Danno Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 My girl at the Henderson HL tells me some new stuff is enroute. Some things were discounted, but not a lot. G Sheesh! You've got Showgurlz and now you've got HobbyLobbygurlz, too? Whoa. Do they wear big sequined feather dusters on their heads?

You found some good deals Andy. Real nice score...
bad0210 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I know. I was just letting them know to keep an eye out for them. the HL by me didn't have any but when I was in Sugarland and Rosenberg over the weekend they had a ton of it. I don't know if all the HL keep clearance in the same spot but here locally in Houston area its kept on the back wall in the craft area or even in the middle displays. just to let anyone know that may have not known that.
Guest Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Got the new Revell 70 Cuda, stock version. Prepaid nearly 3 months ago forint.
ChrisBcritter Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 recieved this 58 buick today: VERY lucky to find a hardtop in any condition, let alone that nice. Only two louver pieces used and no fender skirts! Is the rear bumper intact? I don't see the driver's side taillight. By the way, the Buick's roof/glass were same as the '58 Cadillac - if you found a junk Buick body you could convert the reissue Jo-Han Fleetwood to a Coupe de Ville.
om617 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Old Volvo and 63 Fury in very nice condition arrived today. But why would you make decal sheet with kangaroos on?
tubbs Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 ON THE HOBBY LOBBY CLEARANCE KITS. THE HOBBY LOBBY BY ME KEEPS THEM ON THE SHELF AND THROWS A YELLOW STICKER ON THEM. THEY DO NOT PUT THEM IN A "CLEARANCE" SECTION OR A SPECIAL PART OF THE STORE. JUST AN FYI sorry for the caps, but I was not going to retype that.
