Plans Optional

If only I still had the tiny cymbals to go with my striped overalls, we’d be ready for the halftime show at the finals. I’m sure Samuel Clemens would approve.

Take a ride with us down memory lane as some of us remember great performances, the other rambles on, once again managing to bring up New York city. Morticia and Gomez circle around to stomp out some of our least favoritesas well.

Pack your backpack and put on your hill climbing shoes for abright new future ahead.

Sometimes you just need to get away, even if this distance is short. And sometimes, you bring the shower with you (no need for hot water here).

I think there’s an old adage about making lemonade out of a mole hill, but maybe I have those mixed up. Anyway, keep a smile on your face because you eventually control the claw.

We must first harken back, in order to harken back, almostlike Memento (even though that movie is not mentioned here). As we left off last week, we finalize our Top Ten’s of Cinema.

Some went Overboard (another movie not mentioned here) with their list, others understood the assignment. This did lead to good memories and great soundtracks.

Grab a big bowl of popcorn as we share our favorites from the Big (nope, also not mentioned, unless you count Lebowski) screen.

While trying to not be afraid of the dark, Prince Adam showed up to proclaim, "I Have The Power", to which the youngest yelled, "Mazel Tov".

Just as the power left us in the afternoon, exits happen in our everyday life as well. Though unlike transformers that decide they've had enough, some transform into new opportunities for growth and experiences.

As we go from "Rags to Riches", we are reminded Thomas sill can't find his glasses. Don't worry, Cru will make it back on track because "The Dude Abides". It warms the cockels of my heart.

It was a party in Nash-Vegas as I got to go Back to the Future for some cool cars (I know we all can't get enough of cars).

Sometimes the big blue bridge let's in all sorts of things, this time it brought some big feet to the south side of town, along with a mixture cryptic adjacent fanfare.

That didn't prevent us waking up early to find the best deals to be had. With a belly full of turkey, we help change the numbers from red to black.

So apparently I didn't remember the letter exactly, but I found the letter online. Enjoy!

CAMP LEJEUNE

Your magazine is number one compared with all those otherwiener magazines. I have some questions:

1. How is the new 411K2 different from the old 411K?

2. Do pros, such as Cliff Lett and Joel Johnson, havedifferent jobs other than working for R/C car companies?

3. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuckcould chuck wood?

4. Have any R/C companies thought about having a camp wherethe pros teach novice drivers all they know? I read about the Ranch Pro/Amevent, where novice drivers hung out with pros, but I was thinking of somethingthat lasts about a week. Thanks, and keep up the great mag.

TYLER - Elizabethtown. KY

Tyler, I'm not too sure about your first question. Tekindoesn’t make a 411K or a 411K2. If you' re referring to the 410K unit, yes, they do make one of those — but not a 410K2. I'm not sure if you’re talking about the 411G and G2 or the 411P and P2. Well, both have been upgraded with dual-brake Mosfets for stronger brakes, a 5A BEC for high-power servo use, and both feature external solder posts. Hope this answers that one for you.

Most top pros work in the industry somehow. Cliff Lett. Brian Kinwald and Mark Pavidis all work at Associated Electrics, and you'll find Jack Johnson and Jon Anderson over at Team Losi’s factory. Some don't work at the factories, though: during his time off, Joel Johnson works at Chippendale's as an exotic dancer.

Sorry. I don't know any woodchucks well enough to ask themthat question

As for the camp, I think it’s a great idea. They could havedaily seminars, hold races, etc. You could hang out with a few top racers and learn from the best. Jack Johnson could teach you how to set up your new Double-X, Rick Hohwart could teach motor-tuning techniques, you could learn driving tips from the world champ himself — Brian Kinwald — and Joel Johnson could teach you how to prance around in a G -thong.

By the way, I hope everyone knows that I'm only goofing on the "Magic Man." When he isn't racing, Joel is busy developing products for his line of Magic Motorsports accessories.Anyway, I really think the camp is a good idea. Are any manufacturers listening?

Woooosh!!!!....................

It's similar to someone that's perpetually 29, we're still celebrating our anniversary. But when the pizza is this good you have to keep going, especially when you get to enjoy a song and a slice. Just make sure the song is from Angeles, not the arguing group from Grassmere.

Randa is later happy as the Wheel of Doom, I mean Destiny, leads her back to one of her favorite topics.... CARS!!!! As I write this I'm filled with excitement for her, too. Even Conan O'Brien is a fan of SHO'ing his love of cars.

From Minivan (to Minivan) and Muscle Cars, to Play-doh Factory backseats.

Stick around past the outro, we may have a little more to SHO you.

I'm sure no one has said this before, but you can't believe everything your read on the internet. This shocked even the Woo Girl.

We get Comfortably Numb in this episode as we share the tale of a recent concert in a rock quarry Fred Flintstone would be proud of.

But oh, don't fret (music pun intended), the Wheel of Topics made the journey with us to the lodge. We discover my love of Bacon is superseded by my love for my wife. Imma leave this here, "I'll be the fat in your Bacon"

Why do we have to start this way... maybe it was the long weekend taking its toll. Bag it up and continue on.

Ain't gonna lie, it's not always a spooky experience, regardless if you have a strange confirmation bias.

Don't be a Deer in headlights and enjoy the latest episode from these meddling kids.
