Trick or Treat in the old neighborhood

Val made it happen. She put together some cool treats for the little zombies. We had a bunch of kids this year, probably because of the recession. They looked hungry.

Bored last night...

Saying goodbye to the 63 Ambulance

Every time I looked at the Ambulance in the back yard, I thought about Brad and the boys terrorizing the neighborhood with the lights flashing and the siren screaming. All the neighbor kids called it a Ghost Buster car. Good times! Well we pushed it out of the dead end yesterday. It took 2 cans of green slime to keep the tires inflated. It is waiting for a transport to take it to it's new home. Benton put it on Craig's List a couple weeks ago and got a buyer. A doctor who lives in Hawaii and California bought it. He collects Ambulances and the 63 is his favorite year. Another memory has left the back yard.

IN THE MOOD

We have these wooden model puppets that can be shaped to reflect a mood. It has become a game now to see who can be the most creative in tragedy. Good Times!

GUNS hell yah

It's in the family now.

Eating out of the Garden

I was going to retrieve a few vegetables from the garden today to make supper. I will have to wait awhile to see if the sun comes out.

It's a family thing

Here are a few members of the Fun Fing Family. Fall has arrived and we are getting our sweaters out. It will be a couple months before Val gets her sweater out.

Chelsey takes one

Bored and could use $20.00, Chelsey takes a BB shot to the butt. Chad shoots her with a Crosman 760 pump BB gun (8 pumps) at 20 yards.

Billy Mayes here!!!

Here is another shameless plug. I was at AutoZone the other day getting a new battery and brakes for our Sable. While there, I spotted this gem on sale and wondered if it would work as well as advertised:


So I put the kit to work. Here is a "before" shot:


You will notice that the lens is very fogged from oxidation, abrasion, and UV damage. I spent about 15 min. per lens (it is a 4 step process working down from rough abrasion pads to progressively finer pads, finishing with a buffing process) and this is the result (on the other lens):


This whole kit was by hand. If I were to do it over again, I would have considered a kit with a power tool attachment (to get the deep nicks and scratches out). In all, for $8.00, I think that the results are impressive. High-five AutoZone!
