53' Stude's flares were made in 2002. They are road flares and road flares don't really expire as far as I know. At least I can't remember ever seeing an expiration date on them unlike on some other types of emergency flares. It's been a long time that I have carried pyrotechnical flares in the trunk. I have been carrying xenon strobe beacons.

Phil Hill in a Type 166MM Ferrari (La Barchetta)
This is the restored iteration of the car that Luigi Chinetti drove to victory in the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is arguably the car that started the Ferrari legend. It has a special meaning for me as it was the very first Ferrari I ever saw up close and had a chance to sit in.

As a teenager, I'd spend many Saturday mornings at Chinetti's Ferrari dealership, and I was allowed to wander about the shop area where the mechanics worked on NART cars and customer cars. I watched many a V12 get tuned and modified, both for street and track.

In a corner of the garage sat #22. It was nowhere in the condition shown in this photo. No, it was just an old race car that was "rode hard and put away wet." One Saturday morning, one of the mechanics called me, "Hey, kid," he said, waving me over to his position standing next to the old and important racing car. He motioned me to get behind the wheel and steer it across the garage while he pushed it to its new resting place. Quite a thrill for a 16 yo kid.

Reuse is better than recycle !! These are some hunks of my left over 6x10 Doug Fir beams. Treated with killer preservative they will become steps/stairs from patio next to wall.

My new cordless mower.

It’s a actually going to get used on my brothers mower. The deck has 3 cracks and flexes over uneven terrain. The tek screws aren’t holding.

If they look undamaged I wouldn't worry about them. Try one.

Not that kind of party, it's going back into vehicle.

I'm sure you would have done that with the Veyron engine

Another careless Amazon delivery. Just slam it down on the garage entrance
