  1. @-Rage-Very good to hear from you. I don't know what else to say
  2. Christopher Moltisanti was played by Michael Imperioli Clifford Peache was played by Chris Makepeace
  3. Very true there as well. The pin or bolt is just the best security for this type of sliding door or window. Holes can be drilled at measured points for open settings as well.
  4. Not sure on year. I traded it for a Beach Cruiser with my nephew. I'll check that out...
  5. Funny, this is the very next home improvement project for us because the previous owner installed it upside-down as well. The door slides outside. That through hole bolt is actually very secure. Yes, if they just break the glass then they can just walk in. True, but that would make noise and is work on the intruder's behalf. My Dad told me to always be more difficult than your next door neighbor. True sht right there. They see sht in the way at your pad, they go next door instead. See picture attachment. This is installed at the top.
  6. The stick in the track method is actually easily defeated. I'm wondering if I should reveal this in an open public thread. However we use this on three windows in the house because the cat still has not figured it out. If we leave the house tho, the windows get closed and locked.
  7. Replaced the old, duct tape repaired, Cloud-9 with a new comfy seat for the Mrs.'s GT
  8. @KILZ FILLZGo with the larger striker plate. Your idea using epoxy putty to repair the damaged screw thread purchase surfaces is also valid. I recently did a similar repair of a door jamb. I used plumbers epoxy putty stuffed into the damaged area. While the epoxy was curing, I placed the striker into position after it was wrapped in plastic wrap (Saran Wrap). This will not stick to the epoxy *. The screws were dipped into liquid soap then screwed into the door jamb , through the still curing epoxy. This allows the screws to be removed and replaced later if needed. The soaped threads act like a tap to create a thread through the epoxy. If you use the larger striker plate then this method should be used around the holes nearest the bolt hole because that area looks damaged. Side note: We've replaced the entire door jamb with 1/4" steel L-beam stock for an entry door for better security. * I've used this method for shoring up a set of replacement plastic rifle grips for a friend. No more rattle.
  9. I haven't seen the autobiography yet, I think. I rarely watch anything (movies, rockumentaries, your day in pies, etc) sober. Maybe I just forgot. Gotta check it out.
  10. Motörhead celebrates 'Bomber' 40th anniversary with Heinkel Bomber model 05/09/2019 To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Motörhead's 'Bomber' album, British model kit maker, Airfix has announced a limited edition of its Heinkel He 111 H-6 bomber model. The bomber model will have Motörhead decals and comes in a custom box. You can check out pictures of the model plane below. Artist Adrian Chesterman used the Airfix Heinkel kit in 1979 as his muse while creating the Bomber album sleeve artwork that features Lemmy Kilmister, 'Fast' Eddie Clarke and 'Philthy' Animal Taylor cruising on the German WWII bomber. "Lemmy, himself a collector of WWII memorabilia, insisted the plane be German," Airfix stated. "I suggested the Heinkel plane," Chesterman noted. "They wanted this photo-realistic effect, so I designed the thing with the detached bomb coming towards you. I worked in airbrush in black and white, which I would then tint. That's why my work always looked very doomy. To get the lighting right, I got a little Airfix kit of a Heinkel 111, made it up and sprayed it black. When you work realistically, you've got to have a realistic reference." Airfix recalled that the artwork made such an impression that the band had insisted on a "remarkable 40-foot Heinkel replica" as a stage prop for their famed Bomber tour. Chesterman said that it was the "most famous cover" he has ever created. https://www.thesound.co.nz/home/music/2019/09/motorhead-bomber-40th-anniversary-airfix-heinkel-he111-h6-bomber-model-plane.html
  11. Thanks for your insight. I web-searched standard rail gauge in Australia and it's also 4'-8.5" so same size carriages especially those Well Cars. They carry the international standard containers. Also mentioned is, 5'-3". What is that guage used for?
  12. The freight stock in Australia look like scale model trains. Nothing negative intended by that. Just an observation I find interesting
  13. ^ may not be a 'Mug Shot' photo but a Driver License photo of an ordinary citizen of Iceland. Any Icelandic Oontzers here can verify?
  14. So that's where that's from. I've seen those stickers made into 'Black Flag' composed vertically.
  15. Your post is full of a lot of beautiful shots. This one is probably an old and abandoned railway line
