It has served me well for troublesome pieces of crap...

I wear glasses anyways. That thing had been annoying me for far too long.. Weedwhacker too. A couple of lawnmowers before that, but never got pictures of those ones. Same sledge hammer though.

That revolver of yours will do just fine. 🔫 The other option is 'Hammer Time". Notice I practiced 'Safety First', an insulated handle, as the stereo was plugged in and turned on at the time.

Doug is hunting right now, may be in the heart of the heavy snow. I'll call down there later to check, but he wasn't coming home until Thanksgiving originally. It snowed this evening here, but only an inch or so. Supposed to start this evening, then steady all thru the night until Saturday night. I'm sure I'll be in the tub at some point. Already sore from the last couple days of work cleaning gutters, cutting the grass/chopping leaves up, getting the truck ready, plus snow tires on a couple vehicles. Being sick hasn't made it pleasant either.

Moved a few things around today. Supposed to get a lot of snow in the next couple of days. Nice to have my lift back to change snow tires, and just waiting for the misery to begin.

I was thinking more on the lines of the stripped down, no option crap boxes, sort of like ordering a Monte on the cheap. Many, many years ago I looked at a V8 Vega, but it was sort of hacked up. Glad I passed on that one. I burst out laughing at that! Yeah, every kid gets a trophy nowadays, even the one that catches the ball with his face.

Vegas and Pintos were different too, doesn't make them desirable, lol

I bet the Fiero boys don't have this much fun dissecting tv show appearances of their cars. Probably because ....well, .....maybe I'll just try to be nice here and stop now...🤣

Great pictures!

I saw it and took pics, was going to post them up earlier. The beauty of a DVR is you can freeze, rewind, pause. After further review, it was a different car than the 70 SS454 that was in the initial pics. The wreck appears to be a 72 that is missing right side door trim, rear wheel trim, and it appears the left quarter was possibly already damaged when I stepped thru it frame by frame? 🔎 The nice 70 SS454: The donor car before impact: The donor 72 Monte after impact:

What is wrong with you....🤣

Good for you! That small price is worth 100 times more in the knowledge and help you'll receive from the site and the members here. It'll also let you join us at the club sanctioned events at Carlisle, and Kentucky. You're not too far, being in Rochester, NY. Thank you!

This was sent to me by Dennis, via Chris Shipley as they were having trouble posting it. Hopefully it will work this time https://barnfinds.com/rare-3-speed-manual-1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo/

Is the air blowing out the face plate only when you're moving, or all the time?

I can attest that having a TV in the shop can be distracting, but I still turn that on first as opposed to music nowadays. Usually the only time I have music on now is if I'm painting, then I crank it up.

Hey John, Email me the photos at jft69z at hotmail.com and I'll try to load them. As Dennis said, there were some problems a while ago, but even before that, if the pictures were very large, it would sometimes kick back that error you are experiencing.

I agree, I've had more than enough of this test....

Glad to see I'm not the only one with the continuous black cloud. Well, actually, sorry it's happening to you too. ☹️

I don't have a flag from the USAF, but I have a lot of fond (and not so fond 😁) memories and life long friendships from my time there. I have my favorite hat though & some coins I've collected. Here is something I've posted the last few years I've been a member here, but still sums it up so perfectly, it bears repeating: I didn't write this but I certainly agree with it. Total reflection of emotions past and present. **** To understand a Military Veteran you must know: We left home as teenagers or in our early twenties for an unknown adventure. We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives. We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew. We learned the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth. We found new friends and new family. We became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race or creed. We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times. We didn’t get enough sleep. We smoked and drank too much. We picked up both good and bad habits. We worked hard and played harder. We didn’t earn a great wage.. We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events. We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again. We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all. We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others. Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t. Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t. Some of us dealt with physical warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare. We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical. We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie. We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all. We have dealt with victory and tragedy. We have celebrated and mourned. We lost a few along the way. When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came home at all. We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures. We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand. We speak highly of our own branch of service, and poke fun at the other branches. We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat. Being a Veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away. It has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift. People see a Veteran and they thank them for their service. When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and experienced things that most people have not. So, from myself to the rest of the veterans out there, I commend and thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country. Try to remember the good times and make peace with the bad times. Share your stories. But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran. I’m a VETERAN! I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN. No hesitations..

Yourself.....typically 😁

You could have just said, Dennis & Glen.

Nice pics, too bad that Ford thing ruined the picture with the Corvette 🤣

I burst out laughing as I read that, Thank you for that!

Since I'm home more, I do use it a bit more often. Still, it's usually about once a week.

My girlfriend just laughed. She figured we'd be shopping for a new dishwasher by the end of the day 😁
