  1. Thanks, Robin. I am pretty close to Fort Dodge. The story is that after the Germans saw that giant woman coming at them they surrendered. Eric
  2. Looking and sounding good. I really like this model. Eric
  3. Norm, you are right about the "greed" on both sides. I think I would call it a desire of monetary opportunitism. people thought that they better get on the band wagon and get a house before the rates and prices would rise. The banks are not local but national competitors. Interest rates are too low. That is why people are looking for that little edge, the 1/2 % of better return. Thus credit defauts and other crazy financial instruments. The original posting was about Ford being the only smart one. I would say yes. They hired someone from outside of the auto field. They have a bit more cash so they had the luxury of saying no. You can not take a large sum of money and not expect there to be conditions. People are upset about the interference from the Federal Government. We have even had Ayn Rand advocates. I would not want to live in her world. There is a lot of anger on the board. Maybe some healthy venting. Everyone wants to blame somebody. I think we need Pogo. "I have seen the enemy and he is us" . We are in pretty good shape as a nation. There are no bread lines. There isn't a massive wave of crime. This stability comes from our government and its institutions. We do not have bloody battles in the streets like post world war I in Germany because of a weak government. We make trade offs. We give up a little to get a lot. We still get to vote, we can live where we want to, work at our chosen job, and your family is your own. Eric
  4. I like them. The movie is a blast. I like claymation. Rodney the force will always be with you when Gumby is at your side!!
  5. http://gumbydharma.com/index.php?p=news Rodney, here's a link that will take Gumby deeper into your mind!! LOL. Great stuff
  6. Joel, that straight coupe is cool. I think the price is good. That has to be fairly rare. I have no idea how easy parts would be to find for the engine but would be a real nice unit. Eric
  7. Here's some doo wop with a bit of an edge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOPkzzbezyw
  8. Get Well Soon, Have freinds and relatives do everything for you. Eric
  9. "When I was a kid back in the 50's my grandfather would catch one in a trap in his shed, then burn it outside near the shed and leave the carcass where it burned. He would try to burn them while they were still alive. Said that the noise the make then, and the smell drove the other mice away. Did it work? Don't really know. He seemed to be doing it ever so often." Norm, you have to be joking about the burn alive!!! There's something twisted about that. Keeping them out is tough. A cat around your vehicle might help. I know you don't a dead one trapped inside of your car. Good Luck with the operation. I had it done 5 years ago, easy peasy. Eric
  10. Dave, Don and any of the other teachers here, Thanks. After doing my student teaching, I said no thanks!!. Not for me. My hat is off to anyone who can do it. Kids are just like they always were, different than the generation before. The school systems are different when just a few miles apart. The schools need a lot of money but it alone won't help. No easy answers. It gets really hard when you live in an area with an aging population who figure their children are grown and gone. Anywho, thanks to those who teach coach and parent. Eric
  11. That is looking great!!.
  12. I do not want to see any owners here in speedos, please. Not even with new threads. Eric
  13. Soon Paypal will be the only payment they will take. It is more money for them and guarentees that they can refund money to the buyer. They do not care about the seller. Ebay wants to move away from the auction end to the Buy It Now accounts. Eric
  14. Here we have "Tasty Inn & Out" . Greasy, yes but tasty. I know they are tasty going in , I have no clue on the out. Get the "Shopper's special": 12 loosemeats, a bucket of onion rings and 1/2 gal of rootbeer. It should feed 2maybe 6 people.http://www.roadfood.com/FAQ/. I avoid fast food chains unless I am more than 4 hours from home.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lincoln-NE/Tastee-Inn-and-Out/27016887098
  15. Congrats on getting the pictures up. I have seen Kevin's car in person and it is very nice. Eric
  16. Uncle, thanks for the information. It looks like a cross between a 39 Plymouth and a Cord. It is great to see those cars out and about. The photos are really sharp. Again, Thanks. Eric
  17. The squirrel is an underated creature. Being a tree rat it makes sense that is a quick learner. I saved one little one a few years back and he wasn't fearful of me or my cats. I eventually convinced the cats were not friendly. I toss peanuts out to them. This one would pretend that he didn't see the first one and not move. After I threw the second one , he would grab it and then grab the first. I would throw just one and he'd just wait. Eric
  18. Very cool cars. http://picasaweb.google.fi/buick55/7209Talwiajot#5300122905904372850 What is this? Eric
  19. Uncle, What is the yellow car#58? NSU, Wankel?. Some great cars. I especially like the Caddy. Looks like a brave group. Eric
  20. I was lucky with the photo. I set it on auto and pushed the button. He was oly 4 feet away from my window. You can tell when he is near because all of the squirrels stop moving and stay close to the trunks. Heres a real raptor in the same tree: Mojo.
  21. The roof should be great. Norm, I believe is thinking about ice damning. I bet the snow on Arthurs roof wasn't there more than an hour or two. The house I am planning here might just have a flat roof. With the new membrane roofing leaks should be a problem. Eric
  22. Here is a Cooper hawk that has been at our feeder this winter. I had never seen one before this year but I guess they are common to the area. I watched him snag a sparrow. I guess my bird feeder supplies birds as food. Eric
  23. Arthur, Looks great. It is about the size I want my next house!! I am surprised that the house doesn't have to be tied down to a few piers. Fireball's construction looks like Alaska. Yoy use so much gravel that any water that would apear has a place to expand ( the voids between the stones) otherwise your house would be moving up and down. Is that Cherokee red on the door? Pete our resident Architect would know. Eric
  24. http://www.palmercandy.com/images/shoppe/twinbing.jpg Don's choice made me think of twin something. Heres a local candy that is ok. Burnt peanuts would be my favorite.
