    I feel bad for youin's! I can't handle that crap. We were STUNNED to find the summers here in the Ozarks are hotter than South Fla. But usually not more than 105 or so. All i can say is, Fire up the swamp cooler! Only 92 here today, but the humidity is 73%. Like a free sauna. I need a birch...

    The Travels of Ed

    Dang! The more I read, the more I feel at home! I have tubs of Fox, McCoy, Veco, K&B engines & piles of unbuilt balsa kits. I have most every early issue of Model airplane news mags in Mint condition. The cover graphics in the 30's & 40's are amazing. Now that I have the property to fly at...

    Greetings from the Ozark's!

    You know; I've had most of the same interest's since I was a kid, but of all my friends I've never had one who really worked on anything except maybe cars. When I watch Marks videos I think damn how fun it would be to have a buddy to compare notes with. I guess now I'm thankful for the world...

    Greetings from the Ozark's!

    Thanks all! I love it here. From the crazy traffic & insane county codes of Florida to a town of 700 people with NO permits / inspections at all is amazing! In Fl. I could not even work on my own house. Licensed contractors only! Here I went to the courthouse for a permit when I put up my 30 x...

    My new AKG K701 headphones

    I'm sooo confused......I went and looked & the NEW K701's are priced from $160.00 to $450.00 ? That's a pretty wide range. Are their differences? I really like the sound of my Grado's, but I HATE the yoke type cord & I can't keep them on my head. ( And I've been told it's quite large)...

    Very nice group sir! I still have around 60 kits in my pile & will be selling off soon. Working on a PKM now & a Bren or two next after that.Two played out shoulders & a cracked collar bone. I'm done with larger calibers. May even try one of those AR things......but not for awhile yet.
