First time in…. 9 months (?), I worked on knife making. I thought I had some of chemical & glues, but it’s been so long time, it was all dried up. Gotta reorder some of em again.

Today randomly met forum member… or should I say “ex-member”. He now own Mustang. He was shock to know who I am. He didn’t expect me to live in the “middle of nowhere”. In my profile LITERALLY said “Middle of nowhere”

I don't know, statistically speaking people turning 44 today (day/month/year) is shared by about 320,000 worldwide and about 10,000 in the US alone.

Valid point, but out of 10,000 US, how many own FRS, BRZ, 86/GR86 or has an interested in one is the main question.

When doing some work on the old girl today, I noticed this little sliver of cardboard wedged behind a couple things in the door.

It says "please enjoy Kyushu vegetables"

So random, but I love to think my car brought home a piece of Japan with it

It reminds me of when I was a "wee little lad" in the late 60's and early 70's. I got a badminton set for my birthday. It was a very cheap version and the poles were basically just hollow tubes you stuck in the ground. One of them end up breaking and I noticed that the inside was very colorful. I "unwound" it and it was made of parts that had other Japanese products printed on the "bad" side.

I carefully unrolled it and it hung on my wall in my bedroom until I went to college. Not sure what happened to it after that.
