What Pleased You Today!

Turns out my 1960 Plymouth Brochure from eBay is way way ahead of schedule, having the delivery date be sometime today, instead of August 1st. Whether or not that's 100% true I don't know, but as long as it gets here.

Had two trees cut down in my yard today. The power line from the roadside pole was running through the top of both of them. The house has been here for 55 years, not sure if the trees were here first or maybe planted by my father. Either way I have an uneasy feeling every time a storm blows through, that one of those trees may fall and take my power out. Now my mind is clear, and I have a large pile of wood chips in the corner of my yard to use as mulch when I need it.

I know the feeling, I've had trees take out the lines on multiple occasions. And the cost of removal isn't great either. At least you got some piece of mind now.

Talking about cutting trees would bump me into the negative thread.
I still have the brochure for the '77 Honda Civic my dad got and I started driving on.  At the time (late 70s) I would beg to stop at dealers so I could get sales literature.  It was long after they gave away promo models, I missed that era.
I'm pleased that Fakerri brakes in a straight line again.

Always a plus to remove unnecessary thrills and drama from the driving experience.

Ordered myself a 1970 Mercury full-line brochure. Now I've got a brochure bug happening. But in some cases it's more affordable than Model Cars and easier to store because brochures are flat, not really 3-D like a model car. That being said I'm not going to spend $102 on the '69 Beaumont brochure. Although that would be a totally awesome addition to the collection. Read through my '60 Plymouth brochure this morning, every word, cover to cover. Only makes me want the real car even more. Very informative on features I didn't even know.

Not sure if this is a pleased or an irk but I received an offer for my '16 392 Dodge Challenger that is going to be hard to turn down.

I actually finished a model today.

So that's one off the bench.

 

Wow. It's been a while. Honestly...it might be the first one I've finished this year. I just haven't had that much bench time, plus I had a stretch of zero interest in building.

I'm better now.

Roughly 10 minutes before I was to head out the door to work, I got a text message from the GM of my school bus company that said the summer camp has cancelled all activities due to the high temps for today. The heat index is expected to be 103 degrees in the Metro Boston area. However, the drivers will get paid for it and since it's Friday and payday, I'll get to have a three day weekend. It's AC city for me. OH YEAH!
