  1. Sorry for laughing at that Carl, but that’s a classic! Publix grocery stores have sales on standing rib roast just before Christmas every year. This year it was $6 a lb. Last year it was $4 a lb. Limit two. I bought a 4 rib for dinner and a 6 rib to cut up into nice thick ribeyes. Had three of them with family this past weekend. I did discover that I need a really nice and sharp butchers knife that will hold an edge. I thought I was buying nice knives when I went with Wusthof’s a few years back. Either I got counterfeit or they are total crap at holding an edge.
  2. Damnit Carl! Stop posting yummy pics like that. I’m gonna wind up eating my iPad. I wanted to try a brisket again a few months back. Publix wanted $11 a pound. Yea, that wasn’t happening. Went to Sam’s Club last week and they were marked down to $4 a pound. Of course it didn’t show up at the register so I told them to keep it.
  3. I looked at some of the other sold guns. This makes no sense to me. I know old Winchesters are valuable, but was this some rifle owned by a famous person? Or Winchester #1?
  4. Outstanding! I have a weak spot for colorful warbirds.
  5. My sons were begging me to build one of those years ago. Parking lot donuts look like more fun than you should be allowed with your pants on.
  6. Looking great John!
  7. Wow. That’s full auto price range. What was it?
  8. Amazing how expensive Garands have gotten. The youngest son got one of the special grade rebuilt by the CMP armorers. I think it was $1200 when it came out. I had originally built him one from the wood less Danes they were selling for $300. I put it together with a new Boyd’s stock, did a really nice boiled linseed oil finish on it, sent it off to Springfield Inc for a black park job. In the meantime I ordered the special grade for a close friend. When he saw the one I did for my son, he went nuts wanting it and traded me the special grade for it. Back in December I watched a special grade CMP rifle sell for $3600 on Gunbroker. 😱. Later on another sold for $3200 or $3400. As far as older S&W’s, they just introduce 3 models at SHOT that come without the Hillary Hole lock. They’re finally listening to customers.
  9. I never did either. Went to price them on eBay years back. And it looks like I won’t!
  10. Well, first I’ve noticed this post. Read the headline and thought you built this: But dagnabbit John! It’s so damned odd I had to have one and just placed an order for the kit from Super Hobby. Your build is spectacular! Will look great next to my oddball Cutlass. Looking forward to this one. edit: I just realized yours is the 1/48 kit. I ordered the 1/32 kit.
  11. Kevin, that revolver is worth more than $400. More like $600 or $650. I paid $600 for my stainless copy 4 years ago. S&W’s are making a big comeback in popularity lately, especially models without the “Hillary hole” like yours and mine. He sounds like a good friend! Both my boys are conservatives as well, one has a gun collection that is as big as mine. He’s doing pretty good as an Army Captain and owns a rental home he’s making bank on in a college town. The other could take them or leave them, but he’s into cars big time. But I made sure he has a few guns. When he made Eagle Scout I gave him the Henry .22 Eagle Scout edition rifle, 18th birthday both boys got an M1 Garand. I have two really nice WWII 1911’s I’ll hand down to them one day as well. And since his auto shop is in an out of the way place in an almost sketchy part of town I gave him a PSA Dagger for Christmas in ‘23. He keeps it in his shops PPE drawer. 🤣
  12. Wow Kevin. He gave that to you? Very nice! I guess you’ll be cutting his grass all this summer now! I have the stainless version of that one.
  13. It was one of my favorite builds!

    Flu

    LOL! There’s your culprit. You’re getting the daycare Petri dish bugs. Happens to me when mine started daycare, I watched my coworkers go through the same ordeal and now it’s happening again with our grandkids. My wife volunteered for us to keep the two youngest one time because the small one woman operation home daycare was closed due to her getting the bugs. So you guessed it. Grands show up snotty, coughing and running a mild fever. Told the wife this one is all her. I disappeared to my bench and let her catch all the bugs. She told me I was being silly. Two days later she realized I was right and then I wouldn’t get anywhere near her for days. I was lucky.

    Flu

    I got hit with covid 16 months back from visiting my Dr’s office. I was around no one, went no where except for my yearly physical. It took almost a year for my lungs to heal up where I could airbrush my lacquer paints (in a paint booth too) without it feeling like it was sucking all the air out of me.
  16. Okay, it’s just the N that gets the forward vents. I was thinking the K had them as well. But with the N boxing, it’s parts F1 that Carl needs to include with his N tail. @BirwestSiR Any yes, I would give my left one up for a set of these Parrot Head decals too!
  17. Yea, great idea. Poking holes with my twist drill will be a real beotch!
  18. I did not need to know that. 😐 Pricing is double of Andy’s Sherman. I’ll wait and see if Andy brings one out or a sale on ILK.
  19. Glad to see you got one John! I just ordered another E kit off Amazon from Japan for $40 to go with my tail. Now off to order those exhaust tips!
  20. I’ve said it before, I’m waiting on a 1/16 M4A1 Sherman. But the new half track is another favorite of mine. I’m extremely tempted!
  21. Sorry Chris, it was a one day flash sale. A lot of guys had a hard time getting the store to honor the price if they walked in without buying online. I did the online purchase and picked them up in the locker system they use now. Easy as ever!

    Flu

    Problem with flu vaccines is they are produced on the newest strain of flu at the time. By the time they get into production and then on the street the strain has either mutated where it’s not nearly effective or a different strain has gone “viral”. And not to mention the risks associated with them. My wife has had several patients that came down with Guillain-Barré Syndrome from a flu shot.
  23. Back to working on the HEMTT with the Patriot missile launcher for my son. Trumpeter A Team was on this one guys. Everything fits perfectly and the detail is to the point of ridiculous. This is a ladder bracket. Has two of them. Yea, that’s my fingertip. Here’s the ladder it went on. See those 4 tiny ladder clamps on the right? Yea, I launched one to be forever lost. Stretched sprue replaced it. I have to pause here to apply more wash before proceeding.
  24. My son sent me this minutes ago. Dingbat thinking it’s okay to drive around like this.
