Scott!
Please give it a new, love filled home! ;)
Poor thing.
Maybe that's why he's lying-low in Fla... in preparation for rehoming another 'bird... ;D
It has possibilities, at a more reasonable price. At least he's open to offers.
Oy just what I need another project. I'd love to take it on but my hands are tied at the moment.
GREAT SCOTT...!!! HE's BEEN KIDNAPPED...!!! :o :o :o
No haven't been kidnapped.................. wish I was. Taking the family to Universal studios in Fla. My daughter is dying to see Harry Potter World, me not so much.

ACCIO... THUNDERBIRD...!
Enjoy the magic...
Any time you can do that kind of thing with your daughter, treasure the opportunity.
She will demand a Nimbus 2000. And you as the loving dad will get it for he too or the Dementors will tear ya apart. :mrgreen:
I find Harry Potter, the character AND the detail-drunk books, pretty much unbearable. In hindsight, bad nose job-Voldemort should have won, I could always relate with his aggression againssssst Harrrryyyy Pottttterrrrr!!! Alan Rickman as Professor Snape was the one and only saving grace of those movies.

Universal Studios in Orlando great, but if you can, try to hit it in late September when the European tourists show up in force. The number of tanned, fit, and barely clothed women combined with many water rides and the milder heat makes for a VERY nice trip. The lines for the rides are shorter, too.
I'd wander (and did) to the rather fascinating Cape Kennedy/Canaveral and go see the rockets... so you see... truly spaced out... ;D

[tantrums and tiaras] That's last years model... it could only be the Nimbus 3000 or NOTHING...! [/tantrums and tiaras]

There's nothing to see any more. NASA let a private company take over the Cape's public tourism and management a few years back and compared to even Huntsville, AL, it
sucks and is SUPER expensive. They don't even have
any rocket mock-ups other than the ones outside the front entrance aside from an inaccessible full-scale shuttle. If you can be on Cocoa Beach during a rocket launch, you'll have a much better "space" experience.
Bummer... we were there in '03 and had a great day...

Yep. I'm just a few miles from Johnson Space Center here in the Houston area and they created "Space Center Houston" many years back - one word used to describe is farce! Like Psycho mentioned very pricey and other than the rocket park and the consolation prize shuttle mock up not a lot to see. It's a hoot to see a hundred people being driven around the center in a tram as the driver/guide points out which nondescript office building has what in it. The only thing cool about the tram ride is you get to see mission control. When I was a kid you could take a self guided tour and you could actually see stuff. Keep in mind that I went to school thousands of NASA brats and third grade show and tell might be a kid with an actual Apollo helmet, moon boots or the like - these kids fathers were designing and building the things.
My neighbors took their grandkids to Huntsville and were very impressed. IIRC their oldest grandson won some sort of academic contest that paid for the trip.
For a while i believe that a Disney offshoot was running the JSC operation. Everyone had high hope for some rides, there are hundreds of acres of unused land, like Space Mountain. Sadly nothing became of it. Everyone we know that has been to this one is underwhelmed and I'm told that a half day is about all you can make out of it.

Well, no criticism there from me........
Aside from arms getting a "farmer's tan" I really avoid a lot of Sun myself, no doubt easier to do in the U.K. ;)

We have sun over here; it's above the clouds, that's all... ;D

Same letters, just a differing order... it's the fear of sunburn between here and the shed that does it for me... :o :o :o ;D

I kid, I kid. Seattle and the sound are absolutely glorious on sunny days - of which there are more than rumor would have you believe.
I tried to get the guy to sell me the nickel pickup for $200.00...apparently he sold it today for $1,000....oh well...
Just back from Fla we had a blast! Geeze the auction was supposed to run for 29 days, I thought I'd have some time to think about it. I was going to offer 1,200 but it's just as well!
