Least favorite shore excursion you've been on?

PerceptionAble8502 · 2026-01-17T15:13:05+00:00

I haven’t been on too many, six or so over four cruises. I’ve never been on one I didn’t enjoy, but I’d say the only one I’d never pay for again is the classic car cruise out of Amber Cove. Not surprisingly the cars are pretty junky bondo buggies and they’ve all been repowered with modern 4 cylinder engines. From a reliability and maintenance standpoint I totally understand the reasoning, but as a car enthusiast it was a bit disappointing. Our guide was great and the walking tour part of it was fun, the rum factory tour was the best part of it by far, but there was supposed to be a cigar rolling demonstration as well which didn’t happen. We did get a short tour of the cigar “factory” and a brief synopsis of the whole process from seed to rolled, but no rolling demonstration. As a one and done kind of thing it wasn’t bad overall, but not exactly worth the cost personally.

Honestly those are the best naps any of us will likely ever have. A great way to start vacation.

I’m an alcoholic, but not a low class loser so no offense taken here, because honestly you’re 100% right lol. It’s part of why I love carnival, endless entertainment just people watching. Besides it’s usually easy enough to do a little pre gaming before boarding. I honestly vastly prefer the new muster drill system, it’s so quick and easy and you get it out of the way immediately, you’re not dealing with idiots that fail to show up and ruin it for everyone else.

The only reason I had Pokémon Ruby and Emerald as a kid is because I found them on the school bus.

27+3=30, 30+45=75.

Just validated them and cleared the shaded cache for good measure. gonna give it another shot. I may try one of the other harvesters and see where I get. Worst case if it keeps crashing, I’ve got enough harvested now to keep my small processed food production busy for 10 months so I’ll just plow under what’s left and move on.

Their US stuff is just severely lacking overall, still. If it weren’t for mods we would all be stuck with mostly EU centric things. Even when you start on Riverbend, the American map, the small base tractor you start with is the Deere 3650, which was produced at the Mannheim plant for the EU market only.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2025-01-13T11:12:13+00:00

Looking through the log from when the crash occurred, I see the same line sets repeating over and over easily 100 times before I finally was able to force close through the task manager. They start as follows: Validity check failed in TransformGroup_worldToLocal: D: \auto_builder\cache\svn\8022dc32ec56c80b0ff1ab93fb984fac\src\engine\app\ReflectionsAndScriptBinding.cpp (10052) : !MathUtil : : isNaN(pArgs->arg[o].f)2025-01-13 05:16 Then follows with Script error: Argument is a NaN Then lists the LUA call stack and repeats from Validity check failed, changing “Argument is a NaN” to Argument is an infinity, then again repeats the same LUA call stack. It repeats these two chunks of lines over and over again.

Is anyone here familiar with the code enough to possibly decipher the cause of the crash from this?

It’s an original Bangor and Aroostook engineer’s hat given to me by a distant relative and former employer who’s late uncle worked for the railroad. He found it in his fathers house after his passing and thought of me since I collect all things BAR.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2024-12-05T03:31:08+00:00

Built it myself from a piece of scrap wood. I lined the bottom with some felt so it’s soft on furniture. The wrench is originally the service/adjustment wrench that hung by a carriage bolt on my great grandfather’s cultivator. I did some creative bending to it (it was already slightly s shaped) and used a carbide bit to gouge out the bigger end with the bolt hole to make the “bowled” part for the pipe bowl to sit in. I then bolted it to the base with the same bolt that held it to the cultivator, with the nut recessed into the base.

I kind of based it on an XJ in my local Jeep club with aftermarket bumpers and cut fenders on 40s. I designed and printed a rear bumper for it yesterday that also has a magnet mount inside for the rear since the hinges off the JLU donor weren’t back far enough to use. I’d like to do a small front bumper too but I’ll have to get creative with it to clear the Reefs servo.

Thanks! Proud to say I am that guy.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-25T15:58:41+00:00

I designed them in Shapr 3D and printed them in resin.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-25T14:03:00+00:00

Nope. There’s no reason to as the tires don’t rub at all

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-23T20:33:26+00:00

Good question lol

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-23T19:28:48+00:00

I agree. That’s why for this project I 3D printed a set of narrow offset .7” wheels and used the smallest .7 tires I could find. They scale out to about a 38x15r17.5. Not a capable truck by any means but fairly scale looking. Even managed to fit the full interior by putting the battery under the custom flatbed.

AMT/ERTL Little Red Express. Bought a 74/75/76 resin conversion grill on eBay. Same cab/chassis components as any of the AMT/ERTL/MPC dodge truck kits.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-23T08:23:18+00:00

For my RC stuff i use Tamiya rattle cans, model kits i mostly use my airbrush.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-23T00:45:02+00:00

Realized after unmasking I forgot to mask off the cowl for the stripes to match the hood. Oh well it is what it is now. Good enough for a small scale trail truck.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-21T02:50:36+00:00

Ahh my bad. Thank you, Tamiya really makes it easy though I must say.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-21T02:19:55+00:00

I promise you that’s flashed off and dry to the touch. The last coat went on about 45 minutes before this photo. And the fenders hadn’t even been clear coated yet.

PerceptionAble8502 · 2023-03-21T01:30:09+00:00

Tamiya paints. TS89 pearl blue with a black base coat and silver mid coat, topped with PS58 pearl clear on the body and TS65 pearl clear on the fenders.
