Jeff

as everyone else has said......looks perfect to me, and the decals are flawless......and a rather fast build too..... I might add....... awesome Carl....

That's so cool.............................. and the paint is really expertly well done.......

Top Drawer..................... I love the subtle weathering, that is very convincing....

Yeah, Phil, I know EXACTLY what you're saying.....my mom has this don't give a poop attitude now, nothing is good, and she was put in the hospital to die ( NOT so but...) and my dad is useless getting any meals, deaf as a post, my mom too, worse than my dad and she says I yell at her...................... um.... if one can't hear and is blind...... is there a different way to communicate? It is getting harder and harder...... I guess the part that hurts the most is, that my mom thinks we are out to hurt her, when in reality that is not even a thought that has ever entered my mind ever, but I guess that is the chemical change in the brain......she has gone down hill really fast, BUT the hospital says if she can walk a little bit and has a husband at home she has to go home....... doesn't matter if any one can look after her or not..... huh..... our Canadian health system at it's finest.....we sure don't take very good care of our veterans or elderly in this part of the world, unlike other countries....................... hhhmmmmm.......... so Cathy and I will do it.....

Thanks Nige......... I appreciate your kind words, now my mom is in the hospital not doing too well, seems to have gone down hill fast, no Big C , but bad heart....... if it isn't one thing it is another.....

............................................ah.............................................................. I don't think anyone could actually do that................... with a straight face !

What's a " penny "........................???? Didn't the disband the 'penny' here?? sssoooooooooooooo if it's 3/10's of a non existent 'penny', then it is 3/10's of nothing?? sorry , just my silly attempt at some humor................

Thanks guys, I guess the cancer came back to him with a vengeance, sure wish we could get that under control and find some sort of cure.....

Just a quick update for those of you who may be interested, Doug passed away a week ago last Friday, with dignity and his family close....... Keep on Trucking Doug...

I can't agree MORE Steve, our poor dollar is so sore from the constant beating it takes..... I LOVE them on the news when they say " The dollar rose 3/10s today and then they show 0.003 that's not 3/10 is it?/ looks like 3/1000 to me.... tenths would be the first 0 ..... no?

Avalanche control too..................

Ernie, I'm still trying to dig up info for you, but some of it seems fairly elusive.................. but in case you want to change course, here is a thought...

A friend of mine says there is one at a local Ford dealership near here, and they were ( are) asking 10 grand over retail for it....... maybe that's why it's still in the show room?

ABSOLUTELY ! !!

For the record, I would have loved to have plowed snow in Bulgaria, but knowing my boss, he would have had me pay my own way there ! LOL!! You guys are funny, makes my day...... and I started the smart a$$ comments, which is probably not a lot of help for a serious question......

Geez, that sounds pretty cool, MY old Company used to send me out to drive 14 hours in the worst snowstorms.....................

AND the box is really cool..... better than having them roll all over the bench like mine do..

Martin , I am SO excited for you !! This news is awesome bud....congrats for hanging in there and jumping the hoops as they say...... good on you!!

I hear you , Hubert, that would be cool..... I'm just so glad Dave is doing some decals again..... I think his stuff is wonderful.... I've never found a mistake, or anything out of register, and the colors are spot on..... I know he is very particular and a perfectionist, I have nearly all of his sets, 1/72 and 1/48................I can't wait to snag this set...

No,. this.... nice try though buddy....

Looks like there is a possibility that Dave is back..... and for another COLORFUL CF 188......... http://lemdecal.com Looks like the 60 year NORAD bird will be available decal wise......

and.......................................... no left overs?.................................. no sharing?????????????, Well, it was YOUR birthday after all..... I will say that sounds like MY kind of cake ! Hope you had a real good day....cheers buddy Jeff

In light of Hubert's detailed info on his ride, and I am exactly the same way with the details, here is a little ditty I'm sure we can all relate to...... got this from a buddy of mine.... it's a bit longer so just scroll down, as you rad, I'm also sure most of you guys have seen this before.... still a chuckle here.... Subject: MISSING WIFE MISSING WIFE Husband: My wife is missing. She went shopping yesterday and has not come home! Sheriff: Height? Husband: I'm not sure. A little over five-feet tall. Sheriff: Weight ? Husband: Don't know. Not slim, not really fat. Sheriff: Color of eyes ? Husband: Sort of brown I think. Never really noticed. Sheriff: Color of hair ? Husband: Changes a couple times a year. Maybe dark brown now. I can’t remember. Sheriff: What was she wearing ? Husband: Could have been pants, or maybe a skirt or shorts. I don't know exactly. Sheriff: What kind of car did she go in ? Husband: She went in my truck. Sheriff: What kind of truck was it ? Husband : A 2016 pearl white Ram Limited 4X4 with 6.4l Hemi V8 engine ordered with the Ram Box bar and fridge option, led lighting, back up and front camera, Moose hide leather heated and cooled seats, climate controlled air conditioning. It has a custom matching white cover for the bed, Weather Tech floor mats. Trailing package with gold hitch, sunroof, DVD with full GPS navigation, satellite radio, Cobra 75 WX ST 40-channel CB radio, six cup holders, 3 USB port, and 4 power outlets. I added special alloy wheels and off-road Toyo tires. It has custom retracting running boards and under-glow wheel well lighting. At this point the husband started choking up. Sheriff: Take it easy sir, we'll find your truck...

'paddle' through the first 5 minutes or so, and then there is some good stuff of this bird on the water....
