Madwi is a great forum brother....Clifford


Apple cider and home made doughnuts...........................

Ah that great state of Michigan..


Thank you Madwi.................:tup:

Anytime. :tup: Had some cider before work too lol.

Garage door guy showed up at 2:30 today. Took him over an hour just to remove the improperly installed springs. In the process he noticed that nearly everything else about the door is shot. The torsion rod and pulley lines are kinked, the pulleys are extremely rusted, a large number of hinges are damaged, the rollers are about to go, the door panels are creased in several locations, etc... (btw the condition of all of these is nearly the same as when I moved in). I couldn't convince my CPA wife to spring $1600+ for an entire new door over the phone, so I just had him do the springs. He got the new ones on just fine and had a successful first test up and back down. He comes back with some spray lube for the springs, hinges, and rollers. Second and final test and the motor craps out. After looking at it for another 30 minutes, he says it cannot be repaired. After showing my wife all of these worn parts, she is convinced we need an entire new door. So we just paid $250+ for springs that are going to be replaced when the new door gets installed :ugh2:

But on the bright side, I'm getting a new, insulated garage door that will be properly installed :happydance:

A new motor (super silent bat cave style) is going to be installed tomorrow morning, so we can actually use the garage door again. New door will follow shortly after we figure out the details :excited:

Oh and disc golf was rescheduled to tomorrow at lunch time after the motor install :tup:

All of the above FTW!

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

wow...

A lot of pains in the rear, but should be worth it when all done :tup:

Since the Christmas talk has come up, shall we do the card list again? Or would you all be down for a secret santa via Elfster.com?

Hmmmmm. Let me check Elfster.com. :tup:

Btw :hello: hey pint!

Btw-the cards were fun weren't they?!

Hola BC! :hello:

good evening..........rep has been placed in your special places

goodpm everyone! :hello:


so i did end up buying a rc offroad buggy courtesy of my wife again. :icon17:
along with new servo and bearings and all... :eekdance:

Thank you Jlo and hope all is well with you....sure liked your BMW photo
with your Z together.... :tup:

i am turning into an rc junkie again... :ugh: just like 30 yrs+ ago...

why is it that when i get into something i get my head stuck in there real good? :ugh2:

:iagree: sounds like Clifford...here we go again..........:hello:

yah, that M4 is real nice fo sure. :tup:

that said, my wera sucksarse. :mad: (both germans)

:tup:

wat radio do you use? Im still running an old JRPropo FM radio..and have like 8-9 receivers.

i should start looking at the futaba 2.4GHz...

this is the one i will get if migrating to 2.4Ghz

Futaba 4PKS-R 4-Channel 2.4GHz Computer System

considering i have two R1 radios that futaba is a natural choice. :tup:

M4 out of the box is a nice sports car...exhaust system is all you would need..

:tup:

:tup: being me, id probably just drive it stock just like my Z :tup: :ugh2:

how much retail..........that's really slick..........:tup:

funny 1st year stock for my Nismo...2nd year Berk dual exhaust..3rd year
Berk HFCs......true one I think its to quite.....:tup:

$550 or something comes with 2 battery packs and one receiver. the receiver runs about 100 a pop, so i would get the radio and 9 receivers. :D

and the best part is that i'll only use it for bashing around the house. LOL

:tup:

i went the real minimalist approach on my Z cause she was pretty much wat i wanted from stock. only did a few changes. :D

to the novice the price seems high..to the serious rc driver its a bargain..

GREAT CHOICE:iagree:

:tup: yah, after using the R1 for so long, i need a nice radio or thing feels too cheap and crappy...ruins the experience, you know. :D

if I did not daily drive my Nismo this is the route I would take...

In Nor Cali its fun as heck to drive each and every day with surround sound..

:iagree:

dear santa,

.... oh wait, that's me. :mad:

here's a Clifford thought...since I hit the wall lately with model building..

thinking of building a slot car race track... 4 lanes ho scale...


trying to pick a race track... thinking road Atlanta at the moment....

my car is pretty loud :D but not too many fun roads where i live. i use to live in socal so vs that, around here it's :yawn: my car's setup for touring. if i lived near canyons i would set her up differently.

thats cool. ive only had toy slot cars while i was a kid... those serious slot cars are :tup:

:smh:

so i only got one-2 more drives before end of season on my Z...

in Nor Cal its all free ways as my work is a reverse commute........


NO TRAFFIC EVER.......................

isamu- why you hatin'?

:rofl2: that's perfect!

how many mile with the 2 remaining...please say more than 50 miles....

:tup:
