Well the tree this year needed a little help to keep it from tipping over. Good thing I like lifting weights. 40 pounds and it's rock solid. My wife and I have been cutting our own trees at a local tree farm and we like the weirdos. Also helps the tree farm out by taking the weirdos. 
Soooooo,
I found a craigslist ad for two 1985 Jaguar XJS's with V12's. I have been wanting both an XJS and a V12 for another project. Somehow my wife said yes to this. I've sent an email with some questions but if everything works out....
JAAAAAAAGSSSSSS!!!!!

My sister sent me this link. This museum invited people to come dressed in inflatable T-Rex costumes for the new T-Rex exhibit. I HAVE AN INFLATABLE SUIT! WHERE'S MY MEMO!?!?

Went to Street Machine Nationals in Minneapolis, MN and met up with @derp to see some cars. These were the cars that really stood out to me,
Supercharged 3.8 RWD Dodge Daytona.
This guy is also working on a 1981 Oldsmobile Super Omega that he swapped the 2.0 AWD drivetrain from a Saab 9-3x into.

Also saw this wild Harley former trike now car? thing.
Saw this Coyote swapped/6 speed Lincoln Mk VIII
And finally this wee baby Nash Metropolitan that had suicide doors and I think a 4.3 Chevy V6 swapped in. I mainly took photos of this for my wife because it's so tiny!
@ForSweden I mean @Long_Voyager94 has got handy in spades.
Well,
It was requested so here is the patent pending Counterweighted Corner Tree
Ugh, I just made this for a ceiling fan in a house I'm trying to sell. I broke two of the blade arms a couple years ago. Initially I only thought I broke one and I was able to find one on eBay. But while getting ready to sell the place I discovered that there was a second one broken and and I could not purchase another one. The house has a vaulted ceiling and three ceiling fans and they are focal point of the house. They are also thermostatically controlled. These are not cheap fans and I really didn't want to spend $600 to $1000 to get them replaced. Of course it was also made out of zinc which is denser than aluminum so I had to modify how big it was. Thank God for Solidworks being able to calculate mass. Stupid fan.
(UPDATE) FUCK!!! I have to remake it. Missed an offset somewhere. Parts wrong by 1/4".

Not too bad from the Best Western Plus in Casper, Wyoming.
@Cash-Rewards @HFV_Junkyardin Thanks for bringing the traumatic memories back.
@ClassicDatsunDebate oh no! I'm so sorry for your loss. That sucks hard.
@jminer hells yeah!!! Love all you awesome weirdos!!!
@HFV_Junkyardin We wear hats. Well most of us. I have two guys who don't.
@HFV_Junkyardin Your boss is pretty awesome for letting you make this happen!
@CB right now it's Route 66 in my 1980 Firebird. The reality is that it's not happening anytime soon for me. I don't need my car to be perfect but I do need it to have some semblance of an interior. Mice made sure I don't have one at the moment.
