Finally found this in the boxes of stuff in my basement:

My grandfather made this for me when I was about 6-7 years old, because me and the neighborhood kids loved to play "war". He made me this and an AK-47 (which was short lived - broke it almost immediately sliding behind a fence trying to evade "the enemy").

One of those childhood memories that I'll never forget, so glad I found this after all these years!

Think of the news headlines and drama that would come from a 6-7 year old running between houses at dusk waving this at other kids as they ran around in this day and age...

Heck, back in my middle-school days (many many moons ago). I actually brought two guns to school for show and tell. Even showed the class how to load and aim, proper stance, etc. Shit, imagine doing that nowadays!

You guys braving the storms today?

According to Jeff Elkhorn had sirens and was told to head to the basement, new germany had some power flickering and bits of tree limb blow off but otherwise my car still isnt done and thats what really matters

Left my sunroof vented last night like an idiot.... Needed to clean the cabin anyway...

It's Tuesday and beautiful outside......perfect weather to be stuck inside in a lab

[GunMetalGrey]

Perfect weather to be at a desk indeed. 
I really am tired of constantly dumping money into my car to no avail. 
I have the other car that I really want to work on, but tell myself that I cant work on it until the nice one (turbo) is done. Sad face

At least you're making somewhat decent progress=) I sat and thought about what I have achieved on my car in the past year and let's just say it is a very short list compared to the prior year

[tonyfoto08]

*cough* meetings cancelled today. *cough* day off *cough* ...what. :-). Headed to Appleton today to test drive an M4 for fun.. Some email I got from BMW to drive a new BMW to support Team USA. Must be just a sales event but if they are going to let me drive one I'm not going to argue. Lol

My shop is right near the dealership! I can also take a long lunch break from work  today if you needed..... a local familiar with the city? A co driver to keep you awake?

[tonyfoto08]

I think it's with a dealer from the sound of it. But after we can raise some hell in my car if you're interested. I'll be free around 12:30

Im back in dubuque doing some service work at my old plant. I found a car to buy on my way to get a sub sandwich for lunch. 2005 V70R. Now I have to figure out how to get an extra car home. First world problems.
