It's something I have enjoyed for MANY years, and you only have to compete with yourself.<br /><br />--I agree...can't build anything in a crawlspace, except a larger crawlspace.<br /><br />--Too many of these stories have me shaking MY head as well...I could never have conceived of such people and what they manage to do.<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking time to stop by to comment.<br /><br />Stay safe out there.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-91527673489014123662014-03-23T21:23:07.657-04:002014-03-23T21:23:07.657-04:00You are a talented model builder in looking at tha...You are a talented model builder in looking at that plane, Bob. Good advice on holding off in the cold months with your hobby--the Mrs. bans anything that generates smell from the house and unfortunately we live in a lower area so no basement, just a crawlspace.<br /><br />Your crime stories have me shaking my noggin. I am sure Mr. Back will fill that nose ASAP, he was just waiting on inspiration. I guess one has lots of time to be inspired in staring at jail cell ceilings. <br /><br />Hope your weekend was good.

My well ran dry when I got old and it is even drier now that I am living on Social Security. It is not in my best interest to go outside to shovel heavy snow or even go outside this winter when the weather got bad, so I didn't and I don't. BTW, the snow has to be above the wheels of my SUV before I would consider paying anyone to clear the driveway.<br /><br />Somehow, I think the Code Nazis would find lots of people like me and I assure you that the Silent Generation will not remain so if Council tries to enforce this idiotic law. gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-40025548096815520662014-03-21T14:06:22.279-04:002014-03-21T14:06:22.279-04:00John D.:

You know..."He found out the HARD way..."<br /><br />You know what they say, "Lessons learned the hard way are the ones we remember." Of course, that doesn't apply in the case of complete idiots. All lessons are lost on them. :) John DuMondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266303187278433892noreply@blogger.com
