Dashing through the snow In my rusty chevrolet Down the road I go Sliding all the way I need new piston rings I need some new snow tires My car is held together By a piece of chicken wire
Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke The door just blew away I light a match to see the dash And then I start to pray The frame is bent the muffler went The radio it's ok Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty chevrolet
I went to the IGA To get some Christmas cheer I just passed my up left front tire And it's getting hard to steer Skidding down the highway Right past the Negaunee cops I had to drag my swampers To get the car to stop
Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke The door just blew away I light a match to see the dash And then I start to pray The frame is bent the muffler went The radio it's ok Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty chevrolet
Bouncing through the snowdrifts In a big blue cloud of smoke People laugh as I drive by I wonder what's the joke I got to get to Shopko To pick up the layaway Cause Santa Claus is coming soon In his big old rusty sleigh
Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke The door just blew away I light a match to see the dash And then I start to pray The frame is bent the muffler went The radio it's ok Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty chevrolet
Rust and smoke the heaters broke The door just blew away I light a match to see the dash And then I start to pray The frame is bent the muffler went The radio it's ok Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty chevrolet Sung to Jingle bells. Not written by me. But it could have been.

Howdy Katz
Yer the veins and lumpy stuff are bump maps that simulate ridges and bumps and there associated shadows,Basicly it mimics surface detail useing a jpg or bit map.
I hope you find the parts you need for you truck, I suppose a 69 model would begetting rare for parts
Spitting paint from an air brush,Try removing the the airbrush nozzle cap, And use the airbrush without it,Then if the needle gets a bit boggy the just scrap it off with your finger nails of a damp cloth, That might work, Maybe you also need to filter the paint before you load up the brush.
Oh well I hope your son enjoys his new tools "So he is a bit of a little handyman?" cute!
Oh well mate, Catch ya later

Gooday Biggrin!! My trucks good.Its his ,the one that hit the deer , we can;t find parts for. Turns out they only made his radieator for two years and every time we found one of those years it was stripped already. My truck does need rocker panels.It is classed as an antique and a classic. If it was short wheel base it would be worth more but it is a long wheel base. We used to haul firewood on it. It had one owner before me and sat in a shed for years after he died. It has not been more than 40 miles from here in its life. How is the tripod comeing on? did you get a handle on the shape of the feet? You said they were the hardest part. Were you an X files fan? Do you believe the truth is out there? I think there is something out there. Would'nt something like Moya be wonderful? ttyl Katz

Well I hope you guys find a radiator for you truck . I really like styling off old cars like 56-57 chevs, it was a sad day when chrome and tailsfins when out.I loved that retro futuristic look they had to them,Now unfortunatley all vehicles look the same as one another, To the point where you have to see there badges to see what type of car they "with the exceptions Ferraris and lambogini's" Yer the podie is comming along ok, I should finished today if I get off my backside and get into it! I finished the feet but I think I may have used way to much geometry on something so apparently simple.It maybe not be a problem If animate one fighting machine at a time,but having 5 or 6 in a scene at once might be a bit of a problem.Might have to wait and see on that one. Yer I was an X files fans,But do I belive in aliens? Nup! not really!Sci-fi is just a fantasy escape for me,I don't belive there is anything out there,But then again it wouldn't shock me if there was either. hehe Lets hope there isin't! Then there might be something like Scorpius or Scarrens "Bugger that for a joke" Cya mate Niemmy

G'day Bigrin!! Hopefully he got the part today!! Now to be sure it fits. He left the deer in the ditch he was so p'ed off. Boil it and then put bar b q sauce on it and its very good. Bake it with garlic, fry it or how ever you chose it is good . It has very little fat on or in it. If you try to use it like hamburger you have to have beef fat added to it. Makes a good chile. Do you like Chile Neimmy? Yep son likes to tinker with stuff. He took my kitchen chairs apart so many times the things would not stay together anymore . Can't leave him alone with a tool. I had to get onto him today because he has airbrushed two circles on the kitchen door window to show a friend how to use something for a mask.Athough he says his dad did it.There standing there together pointing at each other. He is as big as his dad. What kinda stuff do you airbrush ? Have you ever worked on a movie or anything with the digital work you do? If you do maybe I have seen some of it . I do love the stuff. I saw your tattos on the other spot ,neat. I think I saw one a little like it in International Tatto Mag.? Trying to save our pennies to get a couple of tat machines. We have been watching Miame ink at moms . Neat work . Do you get that way over yonder? I was gooffin off in town one day and asked a friend of hubbys if I could tatto him and he knows I have never even seen a tatto gun and he said yes and he kids too!! and so did the cashier and a bunch of peolple in the place. I was so suprized , a person would let me ink them and they know I don't know how. they have seen my artwork. the paintings and etc. One of the best things I have ever seen is the snow man in the snow globe by Pixar. It is a short one. Ice age is the one I can watch over and over. and cars and over the hedge and I have a stack of them. Oddly enough VEggie Tails , is my fav. I am so waiting for the Halo movie. I hope they don't get some wimpy tom crusie type to play master Chef. cant stand T.C. Well , I will go . Say goodnight . ttyl Katz

Hi Katz It's good to hear that you may have found the truck parts you need!There's that drama out of the way hey? And do I like chile? Yep sure do but it isin't as common in Australia as it is in America ,So it's usealy chile out of a tin than home made. Nup, I did make a rat 3d model that ended up in a film once cant think of the name of it,Nah my stuff is mainly target at low end/latenight commercials, I don't particully like doing long term film projects. So commercials seem to be more my thing. Ohhhh think long and hard before even thinking about getting into Tattooing!The machines are totally unlike useing airbrush or any other tool for that matter, And they are really difficult to use and setup. Plus there is a dozen different needle patterns and there differant tattooing techniques to suit the individual patterns.Plus skin is really hard to work on.Plus there is the health implications to think about too.If I were you I would get some training before I went into it Katz. And yep I really like the snowglobe animation from pixar too. And yes we do get Miami ink "I think Yani is a bloody Tosser,I like Cat though she's pretty cute and talented" Cya Mate

Hay Bubba whats cookin? Ever watch Jeff Foxworthy ? He is a hoot. Did you ever do tats? Just wonderd, my nephew has one he has a ton of money in and its not done yet. It has hydrolic cylinders made to look as though they are breaking through his skin around the metal skull. Looks better than it sounds. My daughter found this on one of her friends sites and I thought you might enjoy it. Don't know if you have them there but Wal mart is a chain of stores here lots bigger than a football field. Here it is. { I think I am goin to try #5] oh yeah !!
16 things to do in wal-mart
1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.
2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.
4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, " 'Code 3' in housewares".... and see what happens.
5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.
6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. Look right into the security camera; & use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.
10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti - depressants are.
11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream.. "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!
16. Get several bouncy balls and throw them down an aisle shouting "go, pikachu, go!"
Repost this if you laughed... Or are planning to do any of these things

HI Katz Nah I don't think I have seen Jeff Foxworthy, But the name is familiar. And thank your daughter for the jokes, I got a really good larf out of those! But no we don't really have Walmart here, But we have Kmart and Target, Aldi. I don't think Australia is really big enough to warrent mega stores like you have in the US. And yep I tattoo, I leaned to do it when I was seventeen, So I have been doing it Tattooing for 20 odd years off and on. Catch Ya later mate Oh forgot to add that I seen a episode of Farscape I never seen before last night it had Virginia in the nude Woo Hoo

Have not seen that one. Did see the pic you put up . Hubby looked at a while. Nudes don't bother me. Unless , they are uh in bad taste ? Jeff Foxworthy is the guy who does the you might be a redneck jokes, and he invents new words like Wid-ya-didya? as in '' you did't bring the tatersalad wid-ya-didya?? Or "yorapeein "as in move over yorapeein on my boots. My all time fav.is Tim Allen. Another Detroiter . The guy who duck tapes everything down. Are you goin to color the tripod. Keep in mind I have not seen the war of the worlds so I don't know how the others look but yours are Kewl. Wanna see paint!! going to carve anymore redgum? I like your carvings. Well better go. I started out making mashed potators for dinner and hubby did not bring home any milk so were having a potatoe salad with loverly onions. Btw whats our Wayne P. doing these days ? And the rest of the cast for FS? They will be on later tonight. good ie goodie. Love and Hugs for the season Bubba, Katz

Yep Virginia's pix where always in good taste Hmmm I will have to keep an eye out for him on the comady channel Well the tripods in the movie had a metal finish ,but it also has some bump mapping so,soon I will give it a paint job.And no I don't think I will do anymore carving, I moving onto what you americans call wealthfare to work program so, I'm not sure I'll have the time to do any more wood carving, I think most Australian view it as a frivolous waste of time in any case "Aussies ain't the most cultured people on the planet thats for sure" ;D ;D Hmm Wayne Pygram I'm not really sure what he is up to "Doing conventions probably!" Ummm Claudia Black is busy playing mummy the last I knew,Umm Anthoney Simcoe is all over the place, So he is pretty hard to keep track of.Gigi Edgley is in a movie Alien Vs Alien,Lani is busy with his art. So they are all up to something but I don't try and follow there careers too much "Way too busy with my own" ;D ;D And best wishes to you and your family Katz

Hi B'grin!! How are you? I went and joined the other list you told me of. Nice bunch of people. Thank you. I also looked at Rodney Matthews site , he is very good. I really like his lettering.Cool. I went wandering through all the other posts and was wondering what happened to GG. She was cool. She really had a thing for Wayne did'nt she? I saw the Farscape movie finaly. It was good. Babies in space though think about it.ugh. I don't think our dear Scorpie had a big enough part. I still have not seen the star wars with him in it. Gotta do that. Well , we got a mini lathe. I like wood turning. Heaven knows I have enough fire wood to practice on. I have a Richard Raffan tape I like to watch .He makes a giant wooden ball in one. He also makes a lovely little Mosque box . and spurtials??? Last time I used a big lathe I threw the wood piece across the room and tore up the spindal. oh yay. Sounded like a bomb went off on the porch they said. I wanna make wooden eggs and speres.. After they are sanded and smooth I would like to insert metal rods through them at angles in a halo like form. If I get one right I will send a picture . Had to find all the tools. And I will not use large pieces anymore. [that was exciting} Well gotta gallop. Night NieMMY. and if your watching Hi Wayne.nite.
