paradime Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Went to a funding event to support therapy animals at the Lucky 13 Bar. Everybody hung out downing rocket powered tiki drinks and painting. Before the law of diminishing returns kicked in, I somehow managed to slap this on my canvas. Not bad for a blind drunk guy. 😁🤙 Edited April 10, 2023 by paradime inducing my inner proof reader. 11 Quote Link to comment

I'm not religious, but isn't Bob Ross the patron saint of Michael's Art Supply? The great B.R. once said, "You should paint what ever makes you happy". Well the mai tai already made me happy, so I just painted the "happy tree" landscape of my youth. I almost painted the "happy bush" landscape of female genitalia, but my wife talked me out of it. 3 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted May 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Got this really nice condition Alpine CDA-9833 for cheap, knowing the CD didn't work. Pretty safe to say the greasy spring on top of the laser was the culprit. Found where it was supposed to go, cleaned the laser, and....................winning I ran one of these for about 15 years before I sold/gave the car to my nephew, telling him I wanted the deck out of the car if he got rid of it. Then it got stolen. Oh well 😅 5 Quote Link to comment
bottomwatcher Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Nice job. You must one of only a handful of people that goes to this type of effort on these things anymore. Everyone else just slings these things in the trash. Sooo you want to try a 1968 sapphire AM from my Beetle that some Moron (Me) let the smoke out of?😁 Quote Link to comment

Hearing and smell senses are on high alert when driving for what always feels like an impending catastrophic mechanical disaster lurking in the engine bay. Nothing like the sound of an old aircooled vw engine slowly beating itself to death to instill confidence while driving. The scene from up in smoke while Tommy Chongs VW catches fire on the freeway always plays in an endless loop in my mind. Keep up saving the things others have given up on. I like to see others successes and you definitely have a win. 4 Quote Link to comment
Str8jacket Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 The ignition coil falling off the fire wall was a good one but my favourite was the fuel squirter falling out of the solex carb and getting eaten by the engine. Dual 5ft long back fire flames in my mates mums driveway as we are trying to work out wtf had happened. Never again will I own a vw 😆 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 It would be noteworthy if I did not see an eagle every day. Crows are smart little fuckers and they hate eagles and harass them like fighter planes and set up a racket till they leave. If the crows find something on the beach to eat it's not long before an eagle comes silently gliding in like a WW2 bomber. The crows step aside. Do eagles hunt their own food? They do, though rare to see it. They have no problem taking it from someone else or finding dead stuff MRIs. Quote Link to comment

Ben Franklin opposed the eagle as America's national bird on the grounds that it was a scavenger. He proposed the turkey! Quote Link to comment
