Thanks for the prayers,my friend,they're of more help than anything man can do ;D My lawyer suggested "counciler" can't figure out why I'm so happy-go-lucky...she thinks I'm faking and secretly very depressed...but that'll be her little secret,LOL!!! I wouldn't worry about the deck,if Wonder Dog isn't complaining...really,I wouldn't   Ya knows,I thought when I "retired" and took over the housewife gig it would be all Opra and Bon-Bons,but it ain't...it's Speed and Cupcakes,ROFLOL!!! OK,OK...there's a LOT more to being a house Dad than I figured,but it sure beats being out on the road somewhere wishing I wasn't Well,time's runnin out on Ebay auctions,gotta go get on that before she gets in from work |

LOL! (and thanks for the flowers on my site/builds ;D).
Well,I had been just typing in "model kits" or similar in the search bar,coming up with 8-900 results,a good majority of were of little-no interest to me. He showed me to click "catagories",the "model kits:automotive",and I started coming up with 21,000-49,000 results ;D ;D ;D He showed me a B-A-D thing! LOL!

Morning guys!! Well I should be on here a lot more now since I got my new computer up and running! Steve, glad to hear your back is feeling a little better yesterday. Oh and as for the Ebay thing just wait till you figure out how to save searches and have it send you an email everytime an item is listed that fits your search he he he. I put up a post in the General Discussions on my new computer if you want to check it out.

Don't EVEN mess with Marc an his new supercomputer! I asked a freind of mine who builds his own(he's kinda smart) an he said a cooled computer is THE way to go! His is so cool it RUNS his HOUSE!!! He actually had it built into it when he had it built! It should be on House & Gardens T.V. soon! Me, I gotta Dell inspiron 18 somethin. For wat I need it for, it's great. It'll be a year old on my B'day, April 1st, (it was a present) an It's probably outdated already! It's gonna be a nice weekend, It's about 24 out an gettin up to 38 today, so IT'S COMMIN!!!

Thnaks It's feeling a bit better today than yesterday (though I have to do a home repair today,LOL,ask me later ). I have a Dell Inspirion 530,almost 2 years old,in the shop once (no real virus protection prior to that,LOL!)...does the surfing I need it to. Yep,saving the searched and gettin the emails...that's why it was such a B-A-D thing ;D Got some new rebuilders/a junkyard in the mail today from Evilbay...once I get the lights back going in here (family room...there's a broken wire, somewhere,LOL!),I'll try and get some pics of em up this weekend ;D In the mid-40's right now,supposed to hit 50 today ;D ;D ;D Sure wish I could go mash some knobbies down a trail,out pedal a 21 year old up that grinder/hill!  |

From the looks outcher back door, it looks like you live in some NICE 4 wheelin country! We got no mountains an hills around here, the glaciers took 'em out a Loooong time ago! But they left it NICE and FLAT for DRAGSTRIPS!!! I started watchin that TV show called Holms on Homes, an it was pretty interesting to see how lousy some contractors build new houses nowadays! I've practacally rewired my whole house since I've been here. I had a 2 1/2 car garage built back in 84 and wired it myself to run 220, so my compressor would run, then the NEXT year, Sears started selling HD 150 Gal. air compressors that ran on 110! Yeesh, sometimes I jus can't win! NOTHING else I HAVE runs on 220! Even my arc and mig welders run on 110! It's NICE out this mornin, about 24 right now, they say the high is gonna be around 48 again. Yesterday was nice. Good luck findin yer short Steve, jus be careful Bro! 301 left!
