Actually, i think that it will make you forget an awful lot more than that!

I hope you all have a great weekend.  It's cold and overcast here.  The road report for the state reported that from border to border expect slick conditions  I don't know about you guys but I love winter time here  For any of you that hunt it means ducks, geese, and pheasants  Not to forget cottontails

Aaron thanks for explaining that for me.

Home from a long day (PAYDAY!) Enjoying a Gordon's London Dry Gin (made in the USA though) w/ tonic.

Thanks for the words Aaron! If the PBY GB has 25% as much fun as this, I'll consider it a success. But note! THIS is the first place I stop after log-in!

Glad the CAG can be around on a weekend!!!

Sorry Frankie isn't feeling well.....just don't mix Nyquil with yer rum!

So to all here......Happy weekend!

Oh I remember her Frank... the other woman.

Can anyone explain snow to me? It's cold here only 76 F today.

If we are to enjoy the weekend we need to know the brand of spirits Ritchie has partaken of?

Must be a good stock for him to be following one of my ideas?

About 3/4 down the thread page.

Think this was what he was talking about Roy. bet his will look pretty good.

Arrrrgh, cheers mateys! An 'is being a long weekend, I be taking me shore leave too. But I'll still be on checkin with the cap'n and ye!

Richie,  could you explain this cardstock thing your doing?  It seems I may have missed what your doing.

I have decided to go ahead and add wiring to my Corsairs engine after seeing yours

I'll third that if I may lol!!!!! Bourbon does it for me! Sorry mates but had several bottles of rum over the past few weeks and it just doesn't have the same effect! I am pasting cardstock wallpaper to the sides of the Corsair at the moment.(framework) Few more sips and it will have to wait till the 'morn.

Here, Here CAG!!!!! This is the best group build around I must say!!!

I'll drink to that!  Make mine a double to clear this congestion from me 'ead!

ATTENNNNNNNNNNNNNSHUN!

Ladies and Gentlemen............

Please charge your glasses and join me in a toast to the greatest group build in the world!

Its FRIDAY! Its time for our weekly rum ration!

Wherever you find yourselves this weekend, take time to relax, eat, drink and be merry

CHEERS!

Buddy,

   I am in Australia. I will look at the site and see if any are here. I might have seen the  name but maybe not have clicked or something. Will investigate further. I had a look at the site, and there is one in Melbourne. That's a lil over an hour drive so might pop in there one day and have a look. From the map I know roughly where it's at.

Aaron, I am trying your lil trick with cardstock this time to see the effect I get on the fuse sides of my Corsair. I had some lines drawn with pencil, but after I put the pit in place it just didn't cut it. I needed a bit of 3D, but not too much. So far, so good!

Richie,

Where are you?  I know IKEA has stores worldwide, link is www.ikea.com .  The prices I quoted were in US dollars.

MAtching flannels?  THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!  LOL... No flannel under that fleece, just my Superman underoos.  OOPS!!!  Did I say that out loud?

Oh, sweet Moses!  I say again- KATIE! TAKE THE MAN SHOPPING!!!!!!!

Well lads (and ladies).  It's the start of a 4 day weekend for me and I plan to make the most of it.  I'm heading down to Vancouver tomorrow to catch the IPMS Vancouver show on Saturday.  This will be my first major show so I'm totally pumped for it. I'll try to take lots of pics, especially of anything to do with Naval Aviation. 

Conference call sounds great but obviously not this weekend.

Conference call, eh?  Sounds interesting.  I usually work every other weekend, though I am actually working the next three in a row.  The weekend after that is my birthday weekend so will prolly be pickled tink.

Congrats Rog!!!! I just realized I have went over 500!!!! WOOHOO!!! Two parties, more rum! Dee, hope you enjoy your build! Aaron, thanks! As for my books, I wish I could find cheap genuine wood bookcases that won't sag under the weight. This pulpboard crap just doesn't hold up!

Richie,

If there is an IKEA near you, their Billy (that's the name) bookcases are the bomb.  They run about 80.00 each and are a good foot taller than the average pulp board case.  They also use metal pins (which are recessed into the shelf) rather the plastic pins normally used.  I've got a shelf with nothing but magazines and it is still straight.  I've got a pulpboard bookcase with the same load and it is noticeably bowed in the middle.  I'm at work or I'd post a pic.  Also, if you need a showcase, you can get glass shelves, lights and glass doors for them which will run about 200.00 total.  They also come in several finishes.

So Frank, how's your snowblower doing

If it could be done would you guys/gals be will to try a conference call via an internet web conference?  Something like MS messenger.

I'd be down with that, Roy. I'm actually planning on being in El Paso this long weekend (partly to try my hand at "wenching" again, and also just to get away from FLETC). But I'll have my laptop with me in the hotel room. I'm just not too sure about what the scheduling looks like here.

I'll take that bet!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Frank. But c'mon- how often is it that a sure thing comes along?!?!?

And yes, I am most wisdomous indeed!!

Well I would hope you were most wisdomous in your years! It's starting to sound like you might be the only living mummy in the world today, with all the rum flowing through your veins!!!!

 I suspect that simple embalming fluid wasn't good enough for ya. Huh?

Official thread is posted! and damned be yer eyes! YeahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!

Ye shall regret this!

Does Anyone here work anymore???? CAG is on leave....so it makes sense....The rest are cave dwellers and graveyard shifters!

Frankie has been in his early thirties for about 7-8 years now!

You folks cannot be left alone here!

On another note, we have have two of the greatest Gals hanging out here! Great new pic the Katie! Frank's  taste for beauty obviously took him aback when Katie turned out to be such a swell person!

Dee......your sense of humor is delightfully sick!

Now I must visit the A/C forum and try to make sense of THAT!
