He has water on the floorboards and has had for months. There is zero loss from the radiator and it doesn't smell of coolant anyway. He hasn't run the heater. And it hasn't rained here in quite awhile.

There's always a big puddle of pure water under my wife's SUV in the summertime when she shuts the car down. Took us a while to figure out it was condensation, not a leak.

AC runs if you use the defrost setting on the heater. It drys the air.

Fire crackers in the fuselage and plastic baggies of gas in the wings of model airplanes and one can reenact the Battle of Britain.

See, now just a week or two ago a female lizard declared that I "needed help" when I mentioned having blown up model airplanes with firecrackers as a lad.

It's a guy thing, ladies. You wouldn't understand.

Sorry, it's Friday, I have to go into town at rush hour to get my daughter from drill team practice, and for family reasons I can't keep alcohol at home. I have to let it out somewhere...

re: #145 OldLineTexan

The weeds do that already, so I have all bases covered. Mostly in poodle droppings in the back, though.

after about two years the weeds become very nice perennials...jus sayin...up north in MI if my mower couldnt make the turn it didnt get mowed....beautiful

re: #151 Silhouette

Which is why they were cool. Like an empty cardboard box, you did more with it because it did less. Some toys do so much that the kids don't have to imagine at all.

Well the boxes had a purpose. You would go to the guy's house that had the highest outdoor stairs, get in the box & have someone push you down the stairs.
I alwys thought that maybe, i would hve gotten further if I didn't do things like that.

re: #170 Vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)

My husband, my brother and my brother in law never out grew this. 2 years ago on vacation in the Outer Banks, they were on the upstairs deck lighting off bottle rockets and other assorted fireworks. While drinking tequila . You can see this going bad, right? So they strap a bunch of who knows what together to make a "Megacracker" (which apparently was hysterically funny in it's own right), light the thing pointing upside down, and BOOM! The whole house shakes and the deck shook so much, their glasses fell off the table. My sister (all 110 pounds of her) marches out there and with her stern teacher voice says "THAT IS ENOUGH! IT IS TIME FOR BED". All three of them hung their head, said "ok" and marched to bed.

Most fun I ever had:

Bottle rocket wars. You take a bottle rocket (4th of July) and light the fuse. Place into a 2 foot section of 3/4 pvc pipe and aim at your buddy like an RPG. Fun for hours. Goggles might have been a good idea.

re: #144 Vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)

We had a lake across the street from my house (part of a construction project, not a real one). We'd send out models of the Bismarck, Yamato and subs with internal bulkheads built in and then race to see who could sink the enemy ship first using BB guns.

Made for epic battles.

We did the same thing when I was a kid. Except instead of a lake, it was a rain-filled ditch next to the rail road tracks. And instead of model boats, it was the prolific number of empty bottles left lying around by the hobos. Instead of BB guns, we used rocks.

Okay, maybe that's not the same thing. Still fun, though.

For a good time we would peddle bikes over to the toboggan slides in the summer. The deal was to ride you bike down the slide. It was pretty much even money that your front wheel would hit the side & you would fly over the handle bars. Good times!
