Very cool, Marv! I love wildlife around my place. I started giving peanuts to a little squirrel who is brave enough to come around when I working out in my driveway. The other day I found 2 very small baby turtles in my garden...the shells were only 2 inches in diameter.....

Amen brother....

Hey Bugs....great pics....I'm starting to get in the Halloween mood this year for the first time in a few years. May have to drag out all my 'stuff'! I picked up a bag of skulls the other day and a floating skeleton with led eyes that blink...lol....

Cool new bike, Byron...love the blue tires! Thanks for sharing.

Pic I took the other day with some light storm clouds moving in. I was at a property I take care of that's right on the beach. Missed taking a pic - but tonight the view behind my house was unreal right after sunset...so beautiful. We're getting into that time of year.....Florida's best season!

Smoke so thick at our place made it difficult to breath, but it didn't stop me from knocking a couple of things out on the SC.

You should age those and leave them half buried under some mulch. Don't forget to throw in some rotting meat/fish/chicken to add to the effect. Nothing like the smell of decomp!

Bravo Baz!

You need to pick up a full size skeleton and strap it in the passenger seat. It looks really cool. A local bug guy had one in his dub, looks good.

I've been trying to get a pic but he is always in the freeway when I see him.


I located the Death Star yesterday at 1530 off the West Coast.

My old small mouth TR3 and my neighbors C 119...parked across the road from our place on a community air strip. His plane was used in the remake of the 'Flight of the Phoenix' a few years ago...he also has a B24 Liberator Bomber.
Some hobby.

Man that is awesome Reiver! I love old planes like that! Love to see a pic of the Liberator if possible. Your TR3 is also very beautiful! Wonder what shade of red that is....

Good suggestions Bugs and Bryan....will give some thought!


The air force was out again today running missions over my job site.....

Ran across a whole bunch of stuff someone was throwing away out at their curb....
I always wonder what the back story is when I see stuff like this...obvious a man's prized possessions...unceremoniously dumped like an old box of soiled cat litter...













I'll get you a better pic of the tool box....I really like the little drawers! Unfortunately rain had gotten into most of the bottom compartments so I removed everything and am drying and cleaning everything up.

Tool box looks like a Kennedy machinist box.

This is at our local fly in/ car show at our local airport...the B24 is a Naval version with single tail plane build/used in WW2...it survived as a Forest Service AC dousing fires with retardant until my neighbor bought it.....he's nuts but fun.

Well put Baz! Truly puzzeling.
But you sure came along at the right time. Some useful goodies there.

Reviver quite the interesting neighbor you have there.

I got to see an old bird like that fly in for a vintage air show in Flagstaff not long ago.
Man those raidial engines are leakers, make our aircooled engines look tight.

Nice lineup in the shade for the car show.







Cheers Richard
