Made it out to Yosemite in the fall one time. Everything was dry and there was nearby forest fires. Everything was smoky and hazy. Made for cool pics of Half Dome and El Capitan. Spring is apparently the time to visit Yosemite. We did Jackson Hole (tourist trap, would never go back) Grand Tetons and Yellow Stone in July. We actually got snow flurries at the Grand Tetons. Those would all be great places to go if it wasn’t for all the tourist like us. Hugely crowded! Most photographed barn in the nation. The wife… Of course we do the fly out and rent a car thing. We would probably kill each other if locked up that close in an RV for that long of a trip from the east coast.

One of the unique joys of Texas living.

That calls for flame throwers. Burn it all down because they have family. -
Ok, #9. Is that a current stash or will we be getting a yearly Christmas package for the next 10 years?

Looks like fun! Awesome lifestyle for those that enjoy it. Now head west and go check out the places around Vegas and Utah. I was fortunate enough to travel to Vegas with work about a half dozen times. Took an extra few days and traveled around. Zion is a must see!

And this is where I give you your hard earned “You Suck!” Award. I’m jelly!

Funny you should say that. I’ve added all three since then! Steeds pedal spring made it feel like a normal clutch. for a while I was driving without any spring. Another bright idea from Ford. Having a clutch pedal that tries to push you out of the drivers seat.

Ahh yes. The EPA gas saver mode.

Looking great Carl! -
Funny manual trans story time. When I got my 2015 Mustang my wife insisted to drive it because she knows how to drive a manual. Told her OK, and as we started out the driveway I tried to explain how the six speed shifter “works”. “I know how to drive a damned manual transmission! You need to shut the F up and let me drive!” Okay, then why are you in 5th gear? She was in the process of shifting from 2nd to 3rd, but because she didn’t know how the shifter worked she went to 5th. I was an instant humble and she hasn’t driven it since that day 9 years ago.

Some might pay extra for that.

Finally finished up the decals today. After a few hours dry time I went with my old acrylic dull coat, Microscale’s Micro Satin. I was afraid of melting the Alps printed decals. I just sprayed the top with the flat since the bottom still has the Have Glass pearlescent clear on it. -

I’d be in for a 1/16 as well. One of my favorites. Honestly, that one and the M4A1 Sherman are the only two I’d like to build in 1/16. -
Incredible! After seeing this I’ve decided just to sell it all off and take up knitting. I never realized I was the hack I am until now.

Well, as good as I’m going to get it. If you stair at it too long you can see I’m a little off on symmetry. But not bad I guess for using a ruler and Tamiya tape to mask all this off. I did have a few fuzzy edges that a cotton swab and some Nu Finish car polish took care of. Now waiting on those correct stars and bars in the mailbox. -
I hear bells a’ringing! Coming up to that time of year

I turn the bottle over and smartly smack the top firmly on my bench about 3-4 times. Usually breaks it loose.

We ain’t fooling around this year. We put the tree up today. Of course that’s not decorated yet. And I had to add one of my toys. Grandkids went nuts over it. -

I really want the F-22 they have announced. But like Peter said, that’s a lot of coin for something that may or may not be a decent kit. -
That’s a might fine makeup job! Having the vision to see this before doing it is a real sign of a true artist.
