Thedragsterdude Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 What pleased me? Well I figured out that I can get new decals for my days of thunder car, but they have a decal on the sheet for the “LUMINA” on the bumper
slusher Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Wife being home for a week and has another week off.! 2
Falcon Ranchero Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Still have one more week before it's back to school. Kinda sad once this week's over but hey I had four weeks of christmas break instead of the regular two I used to have in elementary and high school. Double the holiday and it was a blessing. Still no call backs for the 3 jobs I applied for but I still had a wonderful and full christmas break. Pleased that next semester we got "Equiptment Certifications" so we get to drive snowmachines, Four'wheelers, boats, use Chainsaws and other stuff. Pretty crazy cool. 3
A modeler named mike Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Today's pleasings started as irks. First was my broken tooth which I'm still dealing with, 5 days in but I did get an appointment that is 3 more days away. My old oral surgeon retired and sold his practice to Akeso Oral, Facial Dental inplant surgery. Since I'm considered a new patient It's only a consultation but it's a start. Thankfully the pain level is about a 3 out of 10 and not constant, only when eating. Next up was the front brakes on our Equinox. The wear indicators starting their screeching, so off to the auto parts store I went. Purchased two rotors and a set of ceramic pads, $240.00.. Upon pulling off the tires I could see it was just the pads needed replaced. It all went well with no issues, even with my aching hands. Definitely had sticker shock when the young man told me the price of the parts, way higher than the last brake job I did.. at least it was a beautiful day weather wise. Lastly, making some progress getting my 71 yr old procrastinating brother to address all his medical issues. One totally blocked carotid artery and a 15% blockage in the other, possible prostate related issues, way over weight and retaining water, boarder line diabetes and a definite sleeping disorder. All will take time, just hope he's got enough time left in him to accomplish it all..🙏
HomerS Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) Had to take pics of Bear's incision and a video of her walking in the yard to the emergency vet as her follow up visit. Two weeks ago, she ended up having surgery to remove a softball sized wad of chewed up sock wrapped in grass. She ended up there again a week ago as she hardly eating anything and the medicine to enhance her appetite wasn't working. They modified her meds and the stomach decided she wanted to eat again. She got her release (!) and since the stitches are on the inside, nothing to take out. My youngest forgot to put the box in the chair we've been using to block her from her living room chair and she took advantage reclaiming her spot. So much for restricting her activity. She's always been a Daddy's girl. She was the only one of my dogs I took to see my dad when he ended up in the hospital from dementia and just laid in his lap (she's is perpetually happy anywhere!) so she will always have a huge spot in my heart.

Falcon Ranchero Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Totally forgot to put a picture of the first snowman of the season on here after mentioning i'd do that like a month ago. So here it is. 2 1

Now there's some unique snow people. I'll have to keep these in mind if we get any substantial snow here in MD. The weatherman is saying possibly Monday, but they've been wrong before...🤞 Nathan's comical little creation needs a name.. kinda reminds me of Schlitzie.. 1

LennyB Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Fishkill Fred is the groundhog that lives behind our building, named him after our landlord.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just as I pulled up to the place I buy propane, the Amerigas truck pulled out, after having restocked the cage with full bottles. Happy happy, as it's going down to 18F in the next few days. Perfect timing, as the indoor counter girl I paid thought they were out, and still waiting for a delivery. 3
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 6 Posted January 6 NWS radar shows an area of snowfall between Huntsville and Chattanooga, and it appears to be heading this way. C'mon, baby. I haven't had a snow day for several years. 1
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Good first day back at the college; gettin' back with friends and all that. Pretty good semester coming up, no Tuesday classes, Wednesday is 8:30am to 7:20pm with an unsure break in the middle. Long day if there's no breaktime but it is how it is. Relatively easy (using the term extremely loosely) work, the GIS (Geographic Information System) class is rumored to be a little on the nasty side in terms of how "easy" it is, but I'm sure it's all good. 2
ranma Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Green Dot sent me a check for the $77.00 that was scammed off of my Former Wal-Mart (visa) money card. At least I got my money back! 5
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 7 Posted January 7 The sun is O-U-T out today on this Tuesday off. There ain't a cloud in sight, it stopped snowing after weeks of on and off snow and dark clouds. 1

There ain't a cloud in sight, it stopped snowing after weeks of on and off snow and dark clouds. If you have S.A.D: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder subset in which people who typically have normal mental health throughout most of the year exhibit depressive symptoms at the same time each year.It is commonly, but not always, associated with the reductions or increases in total daily sunlight hours that occur during the winter or summer. This is a great thing, to have the sun come out. My Father had S.A.D., and it got worse as he got older. I have it too, but live in Central California, so there are fewer days when it is overcast and ugly. That helps me to avoid the symptoms. Enjoy Your Sunshine! 2 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I pretty much never make new-years resolutions, 'cause I learned I just don't keep 'em. HOWEVER...I've been losing range of motion and having a lot more joint pain and muscle cramps than I can enjoy (yeah, pain reminds you you're still alive, but enough is enough), so after some research I've started a DAILY targeted stretching routine as of Jan. 1. And it's working. The results are so positive after even such a short time, I'll definitely be sticking with it. 6
ranma Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Green dot Check cashed and loaded to a new green dot debit card Not a Wal Mart Money card! And just like that most of the money is already gone! This time I got to use it on things I needed to pay for or Buy on Ebay! So Friday the 10th Or Monday the 13th I'll add another model semi to the build pile. The Reboxed 1/24 Western Star Conventional from AMT. Bought from the same seller that I just got the 1/24 AMT Ford 9000 LTL from. Not a bad deal for $64.33 with shipping and taxes included! The Kit is listed for $44.99 + $14.99 shipping with Ohio state Tax added on.
Tim W. SoCal Posted January 7 Posted January 7 A local hole-in-the-wall independent Mom-and-Pop Mexican take-out place that is near where I used to work and is now on my way home from work still has (REALLY good!) Taco Tuesday Fish Tacos at $1.99 each. Three of them stuffed my belly for an early lunch after work. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Kinda half pleased and half irked. According to the forecast, it looks like I'll get my snow day Friday, and I'm just not going anywhere 'round here with the way these people drive on anything frozen. Probably ought to put the truck all the way up on the lawn too, so's some numbnutz doesn't slide into it in the driveway "on accident" as they say now. HOWEVER...it looks like later we'll get a "wintry mix", which means freezing rain, which means almost for certain a huge dead limb is going to come down and take out either 1) my power line from the pole, or 2) my 2-axle trailer. Time to move the trailer and lay in a supply of candles, batteries, and propane, 'cause last time the same line went down, I was in the dark 3 days. 2
John M. Posted January 9 Posted January 9 The school that I do my runs out of cancelled all classes for Friday due to a water main break caused by the frigate temperatures that has swept my area all week. However, the other drivers and I will be getting paid for it. 🙂 It's been quite brutal but the mechanics were at the company early every morning to make sure all the buses would start Thankfully that was the case. My boss runs a tight ship. 1
89AKurt Posted January 11 Posted January 11 This didn't happen today, but when I was out of town for Christmas. A store at our big and dying mall has a contest, bring in "vintage" toys, there are several categories. Last year I entered an Erector set, didn't win anything. So I know everyone likes the Countach, and I won a $100 gift certificate! Another $50 got this pan set. The gal asked if I like to cook, I said that I just like nice things, she laughed and agreed. So I think it's funny that I made an unbuilt kit work for money. 3
slusher Posted January 11 Posted January 11 A nice quiet snowy day and we have 4 inches, glad we didn’t get the 8 they said we could get.. 2
