Oh, almost forgot…. She came home to visit during the summer and went rummaging through our bill drawer where I kept this rock. “Dad? Are you losing your mind? You have this random rock in the drawer with the bills.” Yea honey, it’s just a random rock. Now leave my damned rock alone!

Ok, just so everyone doesn’t think I’m the Scrooge Ernie makes me out to be… I also made this for her. She got married last year in an outdoor wedding. The next morning after the wedding I went back by the venue to pick up something we left the night before. The place was completely surrounded by river rocks. I got a wild idea at that moment and picked out a nice big one. I pulled out some wedding photos and airbrushed her background for the wedding on the rock. I’m going to put all the info on the back. Date, location, etc. I’m the good looking guy on the left. Other guy is the intruder, and the wife. Daughter should be obvious since she’s the one in the “one and done” dress. Of course it rained on the day of her outdoor wedding, and we got the nuptials in between showers. But you cannot see the mountains in the background. Maybe the rock will give her the “Mandela effect” and she’ll remember the mountains one day. December wedding, so that’s why there are Christmas trees behind us.

That’s one shiney hiney!

Someone just pointed this out to me today. https://www.facebook.com/TiggerModels/posts/pfbid0p9fgYA2BDYZj2eVRcprQkdZFSWtp6Vog2uEveLpGUMyFBtr1Binyv6UpAEm92TtKl Looks like Reskit is on board as well.

Ok, the DSPIAE circle cutter is now something I can’t live without. Never seen this before. You just cost me $60. I’ll thank you later after I use it for the first time.

I want to party with this guy!

This is why the back end of my lowered 2015 Mustang always stuck out in the parking lot. Those parking lot stops were always about 2” too tall. Even stock ride height would hit them. Kills me that Ford would build something that low without a warning sensor or front camera to save the front end.

I’m going to video her opening it. If it’s a good one I’ll post it to YouTube and link it here.

Every year for the past 10 years or so my youngest daughter has presented me with a Christmas gag gift. One year, a gold fish. Last year a cheap add on bidet. The list goes on… Earlier this year I was installing insulation panels in my garage door. One bottom panel wouldn’t go in place so I stuck my fingers down into the framework and pulled out a petrified Toad. Instantly had a brilliant idea. You see, my gag gift daughter is deadly afraid of frogs and toads. Even at 23 yo. So today I made her a Christmas ornament for her tree. Petrified toad After crafting out a cute little Santa hat, carved a styrofoam ball and applied some fake snow. closed up

I just bought a Revell tomcat and the correct movie decals to build right after I’m done with the group build. But I think you would have to build the Zero since it’s the plane that got wet! LOL! FWIW, it was pointed out to me over on ARC that these F-14’s had all over gull gray on the top and white bottoms. No white control surfaces on the top.

Update on finding wife’s stash…. We we’re packing up to leave Colorado Springs yesterday morning and I asked her were she put her winnings. “It’s in my purse.” Wheres your cash stash you brought? “It’s in my purse with it.” Are you sure?? “YES DAMNIT, LETS JUST GO!” Waving it under her nose…Then what is this? “You took that from me!” Nope, fell out of your pocket while stretching on the floor the other day. Cannot believe you never noticed it gone. “Just gimme that back!” As she snatched it out of my hand….

Same here. Was a very fun build. Also bought a second to build a Thunderbird.

Well I tried the capillary method. So little detail it got into the hub. Started punching out masks for the outside of the wheel. Inside won’t work so I’ll just dab on some white in the center

Solder wick. I was a professional solderer for over 30 years. 🤪 Brush on a little soldering paste (rosin) first and it will flow like water.

The look on Jerry’s face is priceless here if you know who he is.

I’d comment if it WASN’T there! But a grease gun. Oh man. My favorite.

I just got my wife’s leftover gambling stash. She got on the floor to stretch her back and it fell out of her pocket. Let’s just see how long it takes her to discover it’s missing.

Pffttt… Already tried. “You have enough already!”

Out in Colorado. She just hit a big one.

Welcome Dean. Looks like an interesting project. I’ll be watching this one!

(My Feelings deleted) let’s not turn this one into another political issue please. although a very political subject , I understand …Scott

And then come July we’ll kick of the “Christmas Raffle” group build!

I think it’s $600.

Here you go Ernie. Fill it out in triplicate, and we’ll take care of it

Had one of them offer me a date in Vegas one time. Told her I was good because that’s my wife sitting at that machine right there, as I was pointing to her. My coworker was known as the 40 yo virgin. Pointed to him, but that guy there, he could use your help.
