UNCONFIRMED - Photo going around purporting to be off the crash site of Raisi's helicopter

Here's to a real one. One of the greatest character actors of my childhood for sure. Thanks for the memories, Dabney Coleman

Ready to ride! Haven't had a 3-speed hub shifter since an old 1963 Armstrong bike I used to ride. I like this bike! Enough that I dug out my antique Disney Hiawatha bike bell for it.

Be careful how you bargain with the universe. For example, if I was to say, "I really need to get in shape. I'll fix up my Schwinn cruiser and ride it some - oh, but if only it were lighter and faster I'd enjoy riding it more." The universe might get out ahead of my habit of taking breaks at various thrift stores while out driving deliveries and put a $30 deal in my way. Where I'd have to load it on the work truck and take it back to the fully appointed machine shop for repairs.

"The chances are that you might never have heard of the Atari Video Music. Released in 1977, not long before the all-conquering Atari VCS, it was a device that somewhat resembled a hi-fi component, with a shiny oblong metal body sandwiched between two wooden panels.
The idea was that you would pump music into it via your stereo, and then it would output pulsing shapes on your TV screen that moved in time to the music..." https://www.timeextension.com/features/most-of-my-engineers-were-stoned-nolan-bushnell-on-the-failure-of-atari-video-music

Motorcycles to Lincoln City! Dinner at Kyllo's! Good day!

HBD @Museek !!

Totally worth the pucker factor of hauling a 3600lb pump assembly on the flatbed into wine country because after drop off I get an unladen V10 Ford and these roads to play on #worktoot

#Model builders of CoSo, I'm looking for some help. I have this classic AMT 1/25 kit for a 1966 mustang hardtop which I hope to assemble into a replica of my first car. Already ordered the steel mags and plan to craft the aftermarket whip antenna and such. But one important detail remains unsolved: my first car ran the 200ci straight six, not the 289ci V8 this kit comes with. There's a lot of engine kits available, but nobody 'upgrades' into an online six, it seems, so I can't find it.

@Alfred can you tell me the location of this picture?
