I’m over 40 and got that last Christmas from my wife. First new LEGO kit in decades. I put it together over the course of a few days with my 3 year old helping at the dining room table. We had an awesome time and she was really helping toward the end, lining up what parts went next, etc. I couldn’t believe how much she picked up from that. Honestly one of the best gifts I’ve received in many many years.
I was working with fiberglass insulation today and really had to pee. I did not take the time to wash my hands prior to...
I just spent most of the day looking at UrbEx sites and googling abandoned places in VA/NC/SC. So berkeleying cool looking at all these forgotten buildings.
I told my surveying partner Ryan, that if we find a bag of money way out in the middle of nowhere, we ain't tell nobody nothing.
I also said that if I stumble across a dead body, I'll quit on the spot.
In the last 3 days I've reduced my vehicle count from 13 to 11 with one more still for sale. I was thinking how the berk did I get so many and then realized 5 of the 13 were bought in the last year. I think I might have a problem but I'm at least heading in the right direction.
I didn't properly check the air box after putting the throttle body back on and leaves got sucked into the pipe.
Whoops.

Confessions from selling the Spitfire (SpitBird) last night:
1. Agreed to take less than I wanted to, but now it's out of my hair. I have money that I didn't have and garage space as well.
2. The guy sketched me out more than I liked. I was definitely on my toes. All seems to have ended well though.
3. The guy drove it home or to wherever he stores his cars across town. No license plate. No headlights, brake lights, nothing. Apparently it made the whole drive with relatively no issues.
4. I seriously considered tipping off the cops to their illegal drive, but I didn't.
5. He thinks it's got a blown head gasket and tried to say that I didn't disclose that. I had no knowledge of that being an issue. Honestly if that is the issue, that's a pretty easy fix for that car anyway. I don't like it when people accuse me of being dishonest. It was sold as is, it needs everything gone over, that's that. He seems to have cooled off though.

As is where is and I'll disclose everything I know.
My minor confession is I'm glad it's sold because I was looking over your ad again last night. Another few days I might have given in.

Read my confession above. I need more vehicles gone than I need coming in. It was pointed out to me that I'm at 27% running condition on my vehicles. Sadly I thought that was pretty good.

Percentages is an iffy way to look at it. Im at 33% right now but that means 1 of my 3 run.

I'm at 80% running and driving! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or if I'm being too conservative with my vehicle purchases. ;-)
Y'all are ballsier than I am talking about vehicles running and not running all Willy nilly. That's a sure fire way to cause problems, almost as bad as saying "this should be cheap and easy to fix".
My wife talked ME into getting another car, while I’ve got a standing offer on something else.
I’ve rid myself of 5 cars and a trailer this year and made the decision to get rid of one more, the driveway is respectable now, and here we go again. She got upset that I sold the camaro.
I used to think I had a problem. The real problem is WE have a problem.
I am seriously considering calling my boss with anal glaucoma today so I can go work on the hot rod and the challenge car
