    New kitched floor...

    what are you planning to lay down for flooring?I recently did our small bathroom in that plank-style resilient flooring-looks kinda like pergo but its vinyl,worked out well,and not that pricey.And EASY to work with,which,honestly,made me happy:D

    It is a Dilbert kind of day

    Reminds me off the company that bought out the small shop i work in.Their head honcho came in,dripping gold jewelry and wearing a watch that probably cost more than my house.He walks over to me,(i was trying to find a part number on a switch on a machine)and asks me "what does this machine...

    What makes you feel worse?

    I'd say lost is the worst.At least on a cato or lawn dart theres a chance to recover at least some parts.As far as unrecoverable,i had one hang in a tree for nearly two years,eventually it came down,the nose cone and fin can were salvageable.

    12v battery charger

    I think maybe he's thinking of the emergency jump start kits. There have been numerous posts here on TRF regarding their use as a portable power source.

    old plastic models

    My father was helping a friend clean out his barn,and came across a pile of old (circa 1960's i'm guessing)1/25 scale plastic models,made by AMT,ERTL,Monogram,and MPC.Most all of them are of tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles.A few are still wrapped,most are not,the boxes are a bit...

    Metallica: Death Magnetic

    I'm with Foose on this one.St.Anger was supposedly the album that was gonna catch Metallica at their rawest.NOT!Give me the opening riffs of "Jump in the fire" or the "four horsemen" anyday!A lot of bands try to recapture that Garage-band sound,when,in reality,at least where i'm from,the term...

    Engineering diciplines

    Audio/recording engineers,they can "build" a mix,but don't let them near any tools!

    Will hole in centering ring work?

    I think it will be fine.The only way there would be a problem is if the nose cone is way too tight and it doesn't eject ,then you would probably get some blowback.

    Really big planes!

    Just one of those moments when you wish you had a camera!Yesterday i had the day off from work,so i decided to be productive and get some stuff done around the house.I also had to pick my son up at school for 3 o'clock.My son and i had just backed into the driveway when i heard a very loud...

    Favorite sacrificial rocket(s)?

    I use either the alphaIII or my scratch built,bashed,broken and burnt 4FNC rocket that was supposed to be a clone of the old Estes Kadet.It's beat,but it still flies straight!My theory is ,the uglier the rocket,the more it comes back!

    Battlestar Galactica Season Finale

    Once the networks start playing with time slots,that is usually a sign that the show in question is on the way out.Even as good as this series is,I'm getting tired of investing my time in shows that can go away with the whims of network execs.Case in point,there were two series i followed...
