Don't forget the Cameras! Jay your slacking. Show back up, having a coffee and no pictures. What's this world coming to

Anyone remember the post about the skulls they found in the hood a few months back? Anything from Native American Burial Grounds to Voodoo was discussed.They were found on the site of an old Migrant's Orange Grower's Camp. Well the mystery thickens Could be grave robbers. They never expected this. The skulls and artifacts found were Incan.

Morning Kids....
I am sorry I have been missing all this stuff... but I have been so busy I am losing track of the days... wait... that happens without being busy....
Some pics of the progress
Installing the cradle with all the bushings and toe rods, trailing arms installed and torqued
Getting started on the Flowmaster 3" Outlaw exhaust.... Tubes look huge compared to the stock exhaust

Go Stent!

I started out looking for this place a year ago, some days I am just a little on the slow side !

That happens if I have my cutouts open in the garage for a while, racing fuel does that to me.

OK just wanted to say hi, and ta-ta!

[With envy]

I'm glad everybody liked the pics. I always feel a little reluctant to post so many, like I'm hogging space.

Yay! I win. It's not that hard, since I'm almost the farthest West on this thread. (Jeanette has me beat by a few miles.)

How do I caption this one?:
Gives a whole new meaning to the name "Cub"...
What to do when you are too short to hand prop your own plane...
It's hard to yell "CONTACT" when you have a pacifier in your mouth...
You must be at least this tall to fly this aircraft...
I thought you were Pilot In Command?!.
Was there a FAR change that nobody told me about?..
"Renton tower, Piper 136 Charlie inbound with binky..."


Happy Hump Day all!

I am missing so many cool events where I would like to be. I'm glad to have my garage but darn, I have places to go & people to see but too much going on here right now. :(

It's a small place, intimate, on the way up to Heavenly (ski resort). It's a little pricey, but worth it. May need reservations. I think it's on Ski Run Blvd. You should take the tram up the side of the mountain at Heavenly. We visited there in July several years ago. Nice hiking and the most wonderful view! I also like visiting the Ponderosa too! A little different than the TV show made it seem.........but I am dating myself there.... There's also a really nice place for breakfast in Colfax called Madonna's if it's still open. I think that's off the interstate........been a bit.........
