A woman with a rachet in her hand doesn't like fake people!??? Who would've guessed. Got any advice on trappin' a grease monkey of the female persuasion? Maybe I should park my Blazer on the side of the highway just down from the mall with my hood up and my shirt off...lol)

The only thing wrong with green and mud around here, is what you get for the other six months!

Survivor Man takes on a new meaning when you get away from lol You'd better have a few essentials in the back of your Blazer up here if you plan on going fishing or wood cutting in February.

IDK, here, you could find a girl like that but she could be a total B! all mean and trying to prove something all the time....im better than you...bla bla bla
Women are evil, I dont have more than 2 good girl friends because of the drama...I dont do that crap, cant handle it...

Well, I scuba dive because I live in one of the best places in the world to see well preserved historic shipwrecks from the past - because of the deep cold fresh water in the great lakes. Bones and old clothes shrouded in silence and darkness from a time before man could fly make for a pretty good excuse to drink beer.

When I'm trapped by the cold Canadian winters (which should happen a lot less with my new 33's!) I build replicas of WWII fighter planes and then cast them in fibreglass moulds. Once I have a mould, then I build flying RC models by laying up fibreglass in the moulds over balsa and ply structures. I've documented my latest one on a youtube channel (I just had a look for the first time in a while - almost a 1/4 million views! never woulda thought) with "how-to" videos to help others who want to give it a go, so I'll put a couple pics below.
Nice P-40. Are going to paint it Flying Tigers colors or be more original and pick a different unit/color patten?

Thank you very much sir.

The first one (because there will be a squadron lol) will be a tribute to Major George E. Preddy. He was denied by the Navy three times because he had scoliosis like me. (minus the rods from neck to tailbone and clamps in the pelvis lol) He didn't take no for an answer and flew a plane called Tarheel for the Army against the Japanese from Australia and was injured and sent home. He volunteered to go back and became an Ace in the European theatre. He was eventually shot down on Christmas morning while chasing two german BF-109's into friendly fire from allied guns on the ground. He was a true hero if ever there was one.

Here's something I wrote that will be engraved on a display plaque giving details of the model for static display.

Tarheel’s Lament

This is who I am.
You say that I’m alone,
But all the words that live with me,
Are voices in my Home.
I see through someone else’s eyes,
Who sits upon a hill.
He watches over all of you,
With only time to kill.
He sees you rushing to and fro,
In your effort to keep up.
A valiant struggle made in vain:
So tragic you’re tied up.
The ropes are made of fear and greed.
It’s no longer about the things we need.
Your fathers won that long before,
So that you would have no need for War.
But you deserve to have the things,
They tell you that you want.
Self-righteous indignation,
Now fuels their evil plot.
I wonder what the ghosts would say,
Of those who gave their lives:
To see you sell your FREEDOM,
For a burger and some fries.
And now you see I’m not alone.
Their ghosts now live with me.
Sitting on a hilltop:
Words, Ghosts, and Me.
