Actually I think I said It's a ****ing Dodge

I hate ****ing Dodge. I hope they don't give me a dodge

Our just turned 11 year old G-daughter has displayed some serious interests and now talents as to drawing/painting etc. She spends a lot of time on her tablet looking at sites about honing her skills. We have always nurtured this with art supply's. Christmas is a great time to shower her with kits including paints/pencils/markers etc and so one. Pastel pencils for shading. Sketch books in stacks. Reams of paper as well.
She carry's a sketch pad everywhere. And she uses it.
Last night I discussed with the spouse getting her some training. We are on the hunt for a proper tutor.

Got my exhaust on my truck. What a cobbled up mess. I am pretty sure that none of what was on there was for that truck. 2 different shaped cats, Pipe size is Smaller than what should be on there. Add in the stuff I bought (cats back) was cheap. Yeah, it's a real work of art. "lmfao: All I am looking for is it to get me to next fall. Then I will redo the whole thing front to rear.

I am not a fan but then again, if the price is right....I am not talking new either

 

[mom45]

So trucks are supposed to have exhaust all the way to the back? Hmmmm....

If she has the desire nurture that talent.

 

[MrsGungho]

If she has the desire nurture that talent.

I agree with this

nothing better than having the encouragement to follow your dreams

For some reason when I drove it I was deaf and sleepy.

It's still noisy but the noise now comes out the back and not the 8 holes that were scattered throughout.

the sleepy part scares me

Her mother showed the same talent but lost the desire. She see's it in Karma and wants to let her blossom but they struggle raising the 3 girls and she is a stay at home mom. She helps out a lot. So does her partner. Spouse and I will get something going for Karma.
Not a story I will share here but Karma coming into my ;life when she did pretty much saved me. She is my angel.

This is us a week or so ago at the Imax waiting on the last Jedi to start.......

Not really but you could smell the exhaust at an idle.

 

[mom45]

I just turn the radio up...much cheaper than a new exhaust system. Mine is starting to get even louder now. The tail pipe broke off long ago, but it is still behind the cab enough it isn't unsafe. If mine had a cat, it doesn't now.

I did not have that growing up. I had resistance. I will not do that with mine.

 

[MrsGungho]

that is one lucky girl.

I think we all have that special person that showed us the way even though they didn't know they were. I know I did.

I am sure you already do but support it.

 

[MrsGungho]

Princess is that for me CM. Came 10 months after Mom passed. Gave me a reason to smile again

I had encouragement. My parents were a big part of that but my grandpa was a bigger part. When he died a little of me died. He's been dead almost 40 years and I think of him daily.

Ok now I'm off to bed
