Very nice Spaceman. The attention to detail is without question excellent in every area. :upvoted:
These posts of model building have renewed an interest I have had for some time. My Dad built this wooden ship model sometime back in the early 50s. It was one of several he put together. This one was Donald Mackay's design, Clipper Sovereign of the Seas built in the 1850's. It held the speed record for a sailed ship sailing more than 400 miles in 24 hours. Then Hawaii to NYC in 82 days. It was very fast in its day.
Everything is there. The ratlines are in another box and a few will need to be redone. I should make the effort to put it back together for his sake and pass it on to the kids.

Sorry for the highjack.

Sent packing by the people he turned his back on. Folks don’t easily forget and forgive when elected officials put their personal feelings before their constituents.

re: Walgreens closing South Side Chicago store after losing over $1M due to rampant theft

Easier to close the store than to lock everything behind sliding glass panels.
Fix your problems Chicago and maybe stores will come back. But I’m not going to hold my breath on that hope.

And I'm willing to bet some of these folks think nothing of throwing sensitive personal data in their trash every week. Bank statements, cancelled checks, prescriptions, billing statements, insurance, etc.
I saw an interview with an incarcerated inmate that said he would go through neighborhoods at night, grab a few trash bags and the start of an identity theft would be in its beginning stages. Within a few weeks, he had a pretty good profile of his intended victim.
Shred that stuff folks. and tell your aging parents.
Good morning all. Yard work on the schedule of events today once it dries up a bit more.
Hope your day stays on schedule as well. :cheers:

Did you have any problems with Rockauto with the return? I have never had to return anything from them, but I have read they can be difficult to deal with.

Probably not the first time the perp had heard that from a cop, but most definitely, it was the last time he heard it.

They don't give a rats arse about what AOC says if they even know who she is.
