Pictorial where did you go in your Stinger today

[MerlintheMad]

Pulling that bandanna up over my nose does make my fingers twitch, I have to admit. But I'd never do more than Cos Play.

Went for an early morning drive around home. South Coast of N.S.W

Great looking car, AUStingerGT! How did you do the red stripe on the front lip? Looks really good!

hey mate thank you. I bought it second hand with it already done. From what I can see he has unscrewed it from the main body and sprayed it. Simple yet effective.

As an alternative a cheap roll of cloth tape from Bunnings works well.

That sounds like a mod so simple even I could do it! Did you spray the GT badge in your grille red? It looks really good.

The hardest part is bending down to reach the lip! I had a spare GT badge that I taped as well. It's a bit rough around the edges but only if you look close up.

Slot car racing with true 1/32 scale model cars. Chris Farrell (retired from real racing, SCCA) had this custom-made four lane track built in his rec room. There were six of us. We all had a fun time; two races, each lasting 24 minutes (to give all six of us a run on all four lanes, four minutes each). Each car stayed on its colored lane; so, each of us ran all four cars (IROC style, i.e. no one had an advantage by having the faster car). Chris Farrell's house is in Jeremy Ranch, a suburb of Park City. I made a panorama of the view from his driveway.

Now that's a good rec room, but I didn't see a bar.

There were actual parking spaces available at the trailhead to Bell canyon. In fact, I got "my" favorite end stall. The other two pics are: Salt Lake Valley, with downtown Salt Lake City dead center; and lower Bell reservoir (there is an upper Bell reservoir, but I have never seen it; too arduous a hike for my wife; and I have not, so far in my life, been into hiking alone; nor do I have many hiking friends). The reservoir is 100% full.

Good tactical parking. Like it Merlin. Great nature shots too.

Did a "dry run" this morning, to church, in case anybody else checked out the place since Church Headquarters gave the "go ahead" to all local leaders to "restart Sunday go to meetings". I figured there was a high likelihood that I'd be the only one, and I was right: Totally empty parking lot. Well, as far as people being there is concerned. There was ONE vehicle. ONE. In MY SPOT! Hah! First pic is from last fall as I was approaching this absolutely secure parking stall, between the dumpster and two Boy Scouts equipment trailers. And this morning: the derelict sedan, and sans trailers (Latter-day Saints are no longer associated with BSA; so, I guess that explains the removed trailers). Anyway, I did my dry run, on time; to resume the habit of getting up and getting dressed for church. My wife, on the other hand, is still in the bathtub.

Went hiking this afternoon, up Big Cottonwood canyon: the overlook.

I chose a decent spot to park, well off to the shoulder of the upper "horseshoe" bend.

What three hundred feet up looks like, more or less. And, add on another 500 feet of elevation.

My wife is having a snack; she's the pink splotch in dead center.

Some videos and more pics.

Any 'Squatch up there?

Any 'Squatch up there?

I saw four children (at the end of the third video). But they lacked the hair, so, I'm saying no to that.

I'm pretty sure my wife would object to being called a "pink splotch".

Sasquatch is CANADIAN ! , the Yanks get BIG FOOT ! ................you've been told mate !!

Lol....what about the ones that live on the border?
Sasfoot or Big squatch? Funny thing people search for them but no one ever sets up those trigger cameras. Put Fur on garmel and and he'd pass being 6'9" .

We have " Yowie " and drop bears here, @Ozstung, what's a squatch ? or did you mean Sasquatch ?

Ha,ha, there's a show on Foxtel where these Hill billys are looking for Sasquatch and are serious, it only takes some goose to snap a twig or rustle some leaves and these guys say "Listen a squatch!" ....really. But when they travel further south they say "Listen a 'foot!"*

*made that bit up
