  1. I like the trad Fatbob tombstone dash so I'm running this . . . NickD
  2. >>Now yer just fuckin wid me,
  3. I took the mount off to paint the backbone underneath it. I'm only going to put four three inch welds on each side to attach the mount. So I'm thinking of the water that might get under there. But the bigger question has to be; What are you doing on the internet watching paint dry? NickD
  4. Before welding the fatbob mounts to the backbone I wanted to lay on some paint as this area won't be sealed against the elements. So I scuffed it up, masked it off, and used a brush to apply primer and black paint. No need to spray as it won't be visible . . . NickD
  5. I'd like to hear the eye witness reports . . . "It was sitting at the light then it burst into flames!" "It burst into flames then stopped at the light!" LOL . . . (Sorry about your car, man!) NickD
  6. I always shudder when I consider how many poor schmucks in the last fifty years got the electric chair on the basis of eye witness testimony. You see how fallible it is all the time, especially when various layman describe the same aviation accident. "It hit the ground then burst into flames!" "It came down in flames then hit the ground!" "It burst into flames then did a loop de loop!" "It did a loop de loop then burst into flames!" You even see it at the DZ sometimes . . . "He chopped it at a grand and fought it all the way in!" "He chopped it at 500-feet and flailed the rest of the way!" NickD
  7. Old Joe's laying down the law! "Marijuana is the fire, heroin is the fuse, and LSD is the bomb!" LOL . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Twre6ItGEI&feature=player_embedded NickD
  8. Damn, Sandra Bullock screwed me (I wish) . . . NickD
  9. Helped me line it up straight with the backbone . . . NickD
  10. Best Picture? It'll be Precious! NickD
  11. I called it! Best Supporting Actress, for Precious! I'm one third of the way to winning the bet I laid down in Vegas . . . NickD
  12. I know more than some that Oscar means little. One night at work we were called to the house of a male with shortness of breath in Hollywood. We found a guy who was wasting away and probably weighed 70 pounds. On a table, not far from his bed, were seven Oscars statues. I had to look at them twice as I wasn't sure they were real. But they were. I can't say who he was (Hipaa Laws) but he died anyway. . . NickD
  13. Ben Stiller? Has he ever done anything remotely funny? Even that makeup couldn't save him! Totally Nuevoe weak . . . NickD
  14. Still trying to string a few days of warm WX together for paint, but in the meantime I welded on all the brackets and bungs I needed on Nina's frame. Here's the bracket I fabbed up to hang the oil tank from. It's just spot welded now as the oil tank is a tight fit above the starter and I'll most likely need to move it around some . . . NickD
  15. Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is still looking good. You'd think after all these years he'd actually be looking like Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago . . . NickD
  16. Dougie should have quit while he was ahead, he's no Liza Minnelli . . . NickD
  17. Okay, I totally have it handicapped . . . Avatar will get skunked! (Didn't see it.) But Marlon Brando or Lawrence Olivia didn't need clay make up to act. Jeff Bridges will win "Best Actor" and not because of his current movie (didn't see it) but for "The Big Lebowski" from 1998. But it will actually be a posthumous award he'll share with his dad, Lloyd Bridges. To newbs it won't be for his dad's, "I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue," in the movie "Airplane" but for "Sea Hunt!" Other than that newcomer Gabourey Sidibe is going to clean up for "Precious." NickD
  18. Pretty darn cool . . . http://www.toyotasimulator.com/ NickD

    50mm socket

    Sears has them. I needed a 1 7/8s socket and noticed they had up to two inch ones . . . NickD
  20. Saw a headline about student protests at Berkley and thought, finally, college students are getting a social conscious about the war, about neglecting our needy, about FOX News maybe, but no, when I read the article they were just protesting against higher tuition fees. Where's the Black Panthers and Weatherman when you need them. Where's this generation's Mohamed Ali, "I'm a black man with no beef against the yellow man." (I suppose his taking the name "Mohamed" would frighten today's tea baggers to death.) Where's our new John Lennon? Where's the new left wing radicals? The Bumblicans not being capable of original thought or deed are hijacking our revolution! NickD
  21. New launch time 6:57 Eastern (US) time. NickD
  22. Nasa is launching a satellite today (from Fla) in about an hour or so . . . Live here: vhttp://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html Going at (for now) 6:51 EST. NickD
  23. Posted her about a year ago here. Still worth another look-see though . . . NickD
  24. I think Obama is including the cost of the two wars Bush Zero started (and hid the price of). So "inherited" comes to mind . . . NickD
