A friendly place for friends who drink

[pointcity-homebrew]

I've got a lot of the Ghostbusters, despite being terrified of the movie when I was little. I also have the Ecto-1 and the Firestation, though my mom never let me have the ooze to pour through the hole in the top of the building. Too messy or something. I did have a uniform, backpack and trap too. Holy hell I was spoiled.

My son and I were Ghostbusters for Halloween a few years back. I spent 6 months making proton packs. We may revisit that costume this year.

I have spent all morning researching Pinewood Derby builds. I have been looking at it from a scientific standpoint. This is going to be fun.

I haven't had one yet, but if it turns out well, I'm sure we can work something out. Shoot me a PM.

Sweet deal, I'll store it in the memory banks.

To be fair to Wes, have you read his avatar sig.

Wait... Are people actually reading those?

Those were already vintage by the time you were growing up, weren't they.

Ha!

Last college halloween party I went to I was as well.. I didn't make a proton pack/gun though. Just felt patches of the logo, name tag, and some goggles. I was broke enough after buying a CWU-27p flight suit.

The "stupid big thing with a lion head"? That is what my mom said on the phone. This is what she was referring to:

door's open.... Thundercats are loose

Remember that your son is supposed to build, with the exception of using power tools.

Still have 2 Atari 2600's, a pong console, and a Calecovision in my old closet at my Grandmas.

The dark place involves a drunk stepdad and a midnight bonfire in the front yard of the trailer we vacated in the dark of night. I lost everything. First gen Star Wars toys, He-Man. GI Joe's. All of it.

And all of my clothes and a brand new NES.

I dunno if he's still alive, but I hope he's miserable if he is.

All too aware so I was. Too aware.

He is in charge of everything except for power tools. He and I sat down and drew up the design. I cut the initial shape and made guides for him to sand down to.

Tuning is going to be on me with his assistance. I want him to learn the science behind everything vs the car goes down a track.

I get to design one for our adult leader fun race, no rules anything goes, except for propulsion devices.

Yes, the adult/boy scout heats are the funnest part.

Probably the best Christmas present from my childhood. This dude went every where with me. I build a carrier for my big wheel for him from a milk carton and bungie cords, just so I wouldn't have to leave him behind anywhere.

When I was a toddler, I had one of these apparently. I found it in the attic years later and was pretty sure I had positive memories of it. Then my Mom informed me that I used to beat the ever-loving snot out of it on a daily basis. I guess I was jealous of the 'attention' that Buddy got, while my parents were trying to use it as a teaching tool (how to work buttons, how to tie your shoes, etc).

That would be a good design, half the kids would have no idea what it was. Just got to work out those aerodynamics.

Woo! I am making my final car payment.

I own both of my vehicles now... feels like I won the lottery.

Not really.

Got the best idea for you and the family this weekend.

Still pretty exciting. I paid my car off in 2012, SWMBO's is paid off in June. She's already been pushing me to buy a new one, and I'm like, "can't we just bask in the satisfaction of not having a car payment for a few months?

Wife has a couple month old Honda Fit, it's a nice car. I drive a total beater and love it. Suzuki Swift I bought about a year and a half ago for $1700. No problems yet and 40mpg? Don't mind if I do. Beaters 4 lyf.

Always a great feeling. Can't wait to have my wife's car paid off next year. Then it's my turn for a new one. Not sure how much more I can get out of my truck, but I'm going to see how far she goes without a major engine/transmission problem. About to roll over 236,000 miles.

'98 4Runner SR5 that I'm going to run into the ground and the wife has a 2012 GMC Terrain.

We won't have a car payment for a loooooong time. The 4Runner has at least another 200k miles in her.

The outer ones look okay. Not sure if sushi or mozz.

But the middle one looks like tempura hermit crab.
