OldTrucker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Day after our 51st anniversary (today) we had a planned get together at our sons. Just thought it was a normal get together but turned sort of an anniversary celebration but it had a twist! One of our grandsons came up. He just recently left the military came up to visit his dad (our oldest son) along with his wife to be. They came out to the get together and when we opened their card inside was a sonogram of our soon to be 1st great grand baby!

bobthehobbyguy Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I am pleased today I got up this morning. Today is my 7 year anniversary of my heart attack. About this time I started experiencing serve breathing problems. I ended up in the hospital. I will never forget when the ER doctor came out and told my sister and I that they hadn't expected me to make it. I've always appreciated life but i now appreciate it even more. In the same time my sister and husband had a friend die from a heart attack and another suffer from a debilitating stroke. Truly makes one pause and reflect and count ones blessings. A good day to work on some modeling projects and enjoy life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I hope we can all enjoy our life. We just never know how much time we have. Model building is good for hand and eye coordination and helps keep the mind sharp so we live longer ! That's what I tell my wife anyway.

Hotrod 97 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Had a great time at the Carlisle Truck Show yesterday. Saw some neat rides, and we got some stuff for the project truck. Also, I’m finally learning how to drive a manual. I’ve been doing well, according to my co-pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Dad finished the left front corner on the 200 is done and once I was off work, we got the front brakes bled then took it out for a couple hours. Once the brakes started to wear in, it stopped much better, though we had to be careful as it stops a lot quicker and nearly choked Dad with the seatbelt by accident at one point😳 It also cornered better though it road a touch stiffer, was much more willing to rotate than before and didn’t wallow during directional changes like it had prior to that too. I think Dad is even more pleased with how it turned out than I am too! Edited August 14, 2021 by Joe Handley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was getting ice cream but me and I noticed the next stand over had pretzels… I saw $1.99 so I thought I’d like one. Then I discovered a pretzel was $8… the $1.99 was the toppings! No thanks!

NYLIBUD Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) So there’s a new show on MotorTrend tv.Steve Magnante shows off his skills on building model cars.Called Super Models.Last nights episode consisted of him building a altered wheel base 67 straight axle Chevelle.I enjoy anything when it comes to watching Steve Magnante.Imo he’s a automobile genius.He just showed the basics,no painting.Looks like it’s going to be a really entertaining show.He also showed off his altered wheel base1:1 Ford Fairmont.Watch it,I’m just not sure what nights it’s on.
