A day in the life...

kind of a fluke. normally people only order one, maybe two at a time. we have had people order 4 at a time. but 10 of those at a time is unheard of. idk where they shipped to, but somebody must have 10 breakers down right now.
we usually don't see orders that size. normally 5 or 6 of something is a large order. but when there is a natural disaster somewhere in the US we get larger orders like this. so something must have gone down somewhere.

Blurry but you may get an idea... Fade to grey... :)

New-to-you home improvement is the best improvement!

We did a little bit of our own over the last week. I converted a closet on the first floor to a washer/dryer/utility alcove. Prior to that, I carried laundry between the basement and second floor. We thought a laundry location on the first floor would be more appealing to a prospective new owner.

Wow! Very well done - that looks super clean! 8-)

Oh boy, I've been slacking! Time to catch up!

I found this while at a plant nursery after a Dr. appt. over in Chattanooga:

Time for a new derailleur :( :

Took Chloe and her friend to the Lost Sea caverns, it's a guided trip down into a huge system with a boat ride in an underground lake at the bottom:

While waiting for our tour to start, we went exploring and found an old scale kids train that was powered by a flathead Ford. The tracks were still throughout the woods although the train hadn't been used by the place for over 50 years.

We always catch these guys on the way out of the house but today they were extra brave:

I've really been contemplating picking up some old consoles on eBay to play around with. I was never big on them, I was a PC fanatic but there were some fun times to be had on them. Sonic and Crash Bandicoot were a fave of mine.

go for it. or if you want to save a few bucks. pick up the SNES classic and hack it. it's supposed to be easy (i haven't tried it yet), you can add whatever SNES (or even convert it to NES) game you want. you can pick one up for $80 brand spanking new. probably do the same with the genesis mini (haven't looked into hacking it yet)
im an old school gamer. currently have 8 consoles, 4 different types of gameboy, sega nomad, and the SNES classic and now the sega mini shown above. added up, probably about 400 games total.
and now that i say this im like :shock:

...if only i still had the stacks of game pro and nintendo power magazines from the 90's...

if you want to buy actual consoles without worry, DKoldies.com i buy from them often.

so yesterday i was laying down some killer solders

but there was practice runs for the Huntington Beach air show so there were jets leaving Los Alamitos (which is up the street) so you have to keep running to the door to see the Red Arrows, Thunderbirds, Snowbirds, F34, and A10 fly over and set off car alarms, and wish the camera on your flip phone wasn't crappy but even though it is crappy, you're pissed you missed the opportunity to take a pic of the C17

I took some basement debris to the dump and realized that the landfill has one of the nicest views I'm the area.

get ready to hate me :D
picked all these up for the whopping sum of $50

Wow, dude! What a haul! I haven't found anything like that yet. My finds are usually flawed pretty badly for other people not to bid them up.

didn't have to bid. a guy my dad used to work with was selling them for $2 a car :shock:
they aren't mint, but hell $2 a car, i can deal with a few scruff and a couple scratches.

say hello to my rebuilt little friend

it's a Kyosho Stadium Baja, my first hobby grade RC. i bought it back in April 1998. i had to park it because the differential outdrive stripped out and the spur gear stripped out. i managed to rebuild it over the summer with parts from the re-released Turbo Optima. it's kind of all mixed up now, modern gears in the trans. Parma lexan version of a Tamiya Blitzer beetle/monster beetle/sand scorcher body. original Team Associated RC10T tires, Tamiya sport tuned motor. old Novak Explorer 2 speed control (so old school it doesn't have reverse), AM radio. and FINALLY after 21 years put a full bearing kit in it

new laptop!
first laptop iv ever owned. iv been using the same PC for 10 years and apparently microsoft isn't going to support windows 7 anymore (starting next year) so it was time for an upgrade.

I love FaceApp. My wife loathes it.

So YOU are the Bridgekeeper!

i got board today and modified one of the cars i got last month. it had black wheels and i did't like it so i took it apart and painted them silver. also painted the mufflers silver. thinking about doing more of a race car interior as well... it's 1/64 scale so it's not going to be super detailed. but it's supposed to be a race car and im just not feeling the speed so...

...might could use a wheelie bar as well...

when your big one doesn't work, drive your little one

got this shirt for Christmas 8-)
