    The Rev often says I'm either strange or weird, and in some ways, he's right! I'm proud of it too! Here's why.

    I know a little about a lot, and that's dangerous. So when I get stuck looking for a way to do something that I can't replicate like the Factory, I look in other DIY fields. Like kids' sites, Women's Craft sites, old iron-monger and hand-made carpentry sites and old cabinet radio restoration (need ideas for treating a dash with a new finish?)

    Well I found this little tidbit on the Crayola email I get a few times a month (helps improve my Cad drafting skills :biglaugh:)

    There's why they call them the Terrible Twos! :taz:

    Oh, and this one I like too. (Sounds like any project car, before starting up.):

    You mean he's beside himself? Out of his Fjord? Over the top? Beyond salvage? Too many babies to care and feed? Multi-tasking isn't his bag? The only known cure is to buy another Ford Wagon.:yippee:

    Now that's the pflueger to which I thought you were sending me.

    And if you like old radios you're going to love your visit to the cottage.
    I've got about a half-dozen in excellent condition. One is a really old Stromberg-Carlson I haven't seen online, with a separate speaker cabinet that has a long flat cord connecting it to the receiver that is intended to be run under carpets.
