I pictured Colorado natives with a vest and an impossible moustache.

Good evening, Gentlemen,
While I keep my face clean shaven, I do wear my Stetson upon occasion still. Sorry, Herman. I think all the red flannel wearing guys are up in Canada. Around here, it is jeans and long sleeve shirts usually. Boots and gloves and long coats in the High Mountain Winters when the wind is ice and the snow is deep.
regards,
Painless
...Here for the Dawn...

Glad of that mate, I’ve been to Canada eh ! Great bar chain called Twin Peaks :shifty:
Assumed that alpine warmth had a global look of flanno !
In NZ we had a product called Swandri
Get them in red or blue, short or long.
Known as Swannis
Wool( hmm woooool :shh: ) Lined with flanno

Fashion aside, I’ve flown over Co , and looked down at the vista with awe

While making that fun video of my Tiger going through the creek it slid down a slick rock face and crashed into another stone. Oops. Well, this morning I noticed my spare antenna tube was missing. Damn! I had scratch built it and mounted it slightly raised above the deck just like the prototype (thanks jarndice). However I reviewed the creek video and discovered the exact moment the tube was suddenly not showing in the video. My wife and I drove back to the spot and I walked over and found it there! Hooray! We can hardly believe it didn’t wash away. Good thing I was wearing my lucky shirt!

Battle damage, eh Jim.

Don't you just love finding something that you lost! Rarely happens, but it's like all the planets aligned for just a second.

Nice shirt, you sure you're on your meds?

I'm just jealous,

Cheers,
Eric.

Jimster You want a few resistors the wire legs are ideal for fixing small parts. Drill small hole in hull and fitting, glue a cut leg in . No more lost parts :D

We got some snow! My imagination takes me to the outskirts of Leningrad so I posed my Tiger (I call her “Ol’ Ugly” but Eric prefers Miss Leningrad) at the edge of our field. I particularly like the profile look of the German Shepherd.
