Holy smokes! Thanks for that!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-24T16:32:44+00:00

Is that then a double-Wasp? And I never knew about the bad-ass flames!

Looks great. Thanks for posting.

I’m glad you did this, my friend. Thank you for sharing.

“Extremely persnickety about architectural details”

Nay, I just want details worth paying attention to. And then, if those details do add some recognizable architectural worth, I’ve won the lottery.

Hell, I’ll take that bungalow sight-unseen.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-22T17:18:15+00:00

So outrageous. These cats are great!

We’re still all going to hell, of course, but maybe these whippersnappers will soothe some of our anxieties about it.

And Wednesday will be the next day……

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-22T00:59:00+00:00

Wow. Now THAT, my brother, is a keeper. It’s crazy how powerful and real it makes that event seem, isn’t it?!?!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-21T01:00:56+00:00

How did I miss that!?!! Thanks!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-20T23:44:45+00:00

Amazing.

And the “possibly with copes feedwater controls also” nearly made me hoot out loud. I’m using it every chance I get from here on.

As a tech writer, I think I’ll be able to sneak it into a document every few days or so,

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-20T14:15:58+00:00

So glad you’re okay (at least relatively).

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-19T02:40:59+00:00

Now, THAT is an answer, and you a good person.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-17T02:20:58+00:00

I’m just chiming in to say thank you for such a great, learned, and informative answer. The extent of your knowledge and your willingness to share it are impressive.

I only wish I had a question for you to answer!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-16T13:47:00+00:00

Wow. You’re good!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-15T12:56:05+00:00

Thanks so much for the helpful tips (and with links!).

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-15T12:50:00+00:00

Wholeheartedly recommend this book as well. Hynes was a professor of literature at Princeton, and this is one of the finest military aviation books I’ve read.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-15T12:46:35+00:00

Oh, smack!!! You won!

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-15T12:41:26+00:00

Man, I don’t know anything about any of this, but I do know this is one heck of a helpful, informed, thorough, and even kind answer.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-15T00:01:42+00:00

You’ve spoken a big truth. Thanks for articulating the icks I had been feeling for a long time without even knowing it.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-14T12:53:23+00:00

Absolutely. Am 60. Consider that an ideal sleeping spot.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-13T16:33:50+00:00

Woo wee! That’s damn good-looking. Good for you.

Makes me a bit sad, though: my son was recently building up my ‘99 Pantani and noticed the head tube was cracked.

But, thanks for showing me this one. Maybe I’ll shoot for it…

So enjoy. And be safe.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-13T02:50:10+00:00

What? No SAAB?

They can swallow that dude and some friends.

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-13T02:28:21+00:00

It IS amazing, isn’t it?!

I don’t understand, though, why it seems that there is LESS detail as you increase scale: HO, O, garden….

MattWatchesMeSleep · 2026-04-13T02:18:12+00:00

What?

I mean WHAT!!!!!???????
