All Activity

it's been a long time since I updated this thread, and a long time since I did any work to any vehicles in general, but I expect to resume some of my efforts soon, so I wanted to catch this thread up. A while back I built a TWS CJ7 Jeep RC kit. I made some minor modifications in that I printed a modified set of seats from the 69 Charger model that I printed the 69 Charger interior from. I did this because the TWS kit came with the later high-back style seats. The earlier CJ7s like they used in the show had the low back seats which looked very similar to the charger seats, so that was a good way to get the right style seats. Additionally, I was able to carefully cut out the doors on the lexan body and I hope to build some hinges so I can put them on when desired, but that's a project for another day. Because of the open jeep design, it was absolutely necessary to have a driver, and these options were very limited. There aren't any action figures that look anything like Daisy. I looked into some of the proper sized action figures available on Ebay but those seem to be aimed mostly at Cosplay people and perverts. They're expensive, anatomically accurate for pornstars, and the clothing all needs to be bought separately. Since my daughter is involved in this whole process, that approach was scrapped and I found this 3d printable option that I decided to go with. It doesn't really look like Daisy, but it's better than the scale pornstar option! Next step for the Jeep is a more correct wheel/tire package and the decals. I'm not terribly impressed with the decal set that I bought on Ebay, so I'll probably work up my own and have MCI print them for me. He's the one that I got the General decals from, and the one that printed the police decals that I designed. Hopefully soon I'll start my 3rd General Lee build.

Some random advice: 1. Take lessons from a local instructor. Learning guitar is hard. Having an instructor vastly improves your chances of success. 2. When you're learning chords, just hold the chord while you're watching tv. Strum it a little bit during commercials. At first when you pull your hand away, you have to carefully reposition your fingers. After a while you'll notice that your hand will snap back to that spot. Once it does that, you'll start to be able to just grab that chord without positioning your fingers. 3. Once you can grab the chord reliably, start working on a 2nd chord. Once you can grab 2 reliably, start switching between them 4. When you're actually practicing instead of just holding chords while watching Dukes reruns, focus on having good timing. That's a critically important skill. Go as slow as you need to. Whether you use a metronome, a youtube drum track or play along with the song, timing is everything. Even if you can only strum the chord once per beat, your timing is always your priority. 4a. Learn to tap your foot to the beat. Do it to every song on the radio when you're not practicing. Make it become 2nd nature, because you'll need it to keep good time, especially when you start getting to songs with stuff that's off the beat. 5. A bunch of old Waylon and Hag songs are only 2 chords. 6. This probably should have gone near the top, but take your guitar to a competent tech or luthier for a setup. Make sure he knows that you're a beginner and he should be able to set up the guitar with lighter strings and lower action. This will make it easier to play. Like I said above... learning is hard, and frankly, it's a lot harder when you start on acoustic. It's bigger, it's farther from your body, it's harder to see what you're doing, the strings are thicker and they're farther from the frets. Hope this helps.

The French Dukes of Hazzard words in English. You got the blues inside We can see it in your eyes The blues is pretty good Ok, but you have to put some country in your mood Dream in the day And make your honey With the fire that shines In every girl's eyes The country life is the one I have chosen I can tear your fog With a single guitar chord Don't be pushed around again Without playing the bad man If there's a law You will have to show your claws And make the Sheriff go

I like all these teams except the Patriots! ( They're in the Dolphin's division you know!) I'm sorry Garrett! Chin up bud! Maybe you can find one of the remaining teams to root for!

Sorry Garrett. That was painful. 4 teams left. Patriots travel to Broncos. Rams travel to Seahawks. There are no teams I care about so I'm done with football. Good thing I have dirt bike races.

RAMS WIN!! WOW!

yes! Did you see that??? Right at the last few seconds etc. I see more and more indications every year that NFL is fake....it's just like professional wrestling! Do you remember when the Titans first started and they were losing and the guy with the ball JUUUST barely made it over the end zone line in timw to score and win! It's all scripted! What are the chances stuff like that and what we've just seen, actually happen in real life???

Overtime. One of the best passes ever to get the Bears there. Garrett must be going crazy!

Bo and Luke gave REDNECKS a better name!

LOL!! Yea we get it each year around here. I moved from Franklin when I got married and moved to Sparta ( home of Lester Flatt of Flatt/Scruggs fame.....Bluegrass music. They were on the Beverly Hill Billys a few times!) We used to have some when I was little in Franklin but as I got older it hardly ever snows there now.

That white stuff is called snow Hobie.

......and has a high QUANTITY of customers so makes them take a number.

Hey guys! I'm watching it NOW!!

Tied at 10 at halftime. Let's go Bears!!

We are soooooo close!!!!!!

I am so hoping the Bears will win! I am soooo nervous. LOL. Tho the weather is on their side and they've had a great year so all that is on their side. I am glad to have another fan supporting them. Tho I'm sorry about your Bills, Roger. Jeff Gordon's 49ers got sent home packing this weekend too. Maybe he'll be supporting my Bears now, too. HA. LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!

I never heard of that. Sounds kinda like fantasy sports, perhaps the paid leagues. LOL

Miz Tisdale is the POSTMISTRESS

outside of the reunion shows, Coy, Vance etc.......I like the ORIGINAL doh the best!!

nah! They just ran into a better team! I'm for almost anybody playing against the Bills, because my fav. team is the Dolphins and they're in the same division!

If the Bears win tomorrow Garrett won't be writing about NASCAR. I hope they do. My second favorite team the Bills were robbed today so I'm a Bears fan the rest of the season.
