Hideho all,
Well, I guess I need to register to be a Revver Bro....
Won a couple of nice items at our funfly last weekend, the first of which is the Laser Arrow.
After considering selling it in the swapshop, I perused this here forum and decided to keep it. (dammitallanyway, like I NEED another addiction, defect of charachter, err, I mean affliction.)
So after reading dam near every thread here in the Need for speed forum I whipped out an old mirror from the closet (faster than cleaning the kitchen table) and just for the hell of it started numbering the pieces of the kit. (Now there's a word you don't hear in my house, kit.)
Now as most of you know, I claim ARF's and have never enjoyed the whole build process. (The astute will see where I'm going with this in a minuet.)
As luck would have it this is my first laser cut experience, and wouldn't you know it some of those pieces popped right out there on the mirror, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Now all this is taking place on the kitchen table after dinner, and after a bit O TV watching my daughter and wife stop by to see what Pop is up to. My family, who has never seen a box O sticks before (yea, yea shaddup!) ask me if I'm building a puzzle and can they help.
So I sez, sure, you can cross off the pieces from the destructions as I punch them out of their holders here.
Now my wife, ever quick on the uptake sez, waitadamm minuet here, that's a plane!
My daughter, ever so quick to see an opportunity to not do the dishes sez, DUH Mom, with a wee bit of head bob that gets her lovingly smacked on the back of the head, points to the box with the plane pics on it.
Wife sez, "you have TWO shops, downstairs and in the backyard, and your going to make a mess on the kitchen table?"
Husband says in his best condescending manly voice, "no honey, I'm just going to fit a few parts and then take it out to the shop and put it away..." OK shewhomustbeobeyed sez, and with that goes off to "do her toenails" or some other such life threatening chore.
Wouldn't you know it, 12:30 AM rolls around and the Laser, she is all framed up, just awaiting the engine mount cut out and the LE sheeting left to do, mostly.
Seems I got this here new old OS 40 VRF & pipe sitting down in the shop with no home all lonely like. Talkn' to me sayin' "You ain't got the cahones to use me in any real go fast planes, you funfly dork" Yea, Yea you shaddup, too!
Herewith is proof that I be allowed membership to the demented, jaded and socially unfit Revver Brothers Gofast till I puke, hood or whatever y'all call yurself.
Insert # if I qualify.
Thanks,
S-L-O-W M-O-T-I-O-N Mike
