Toy's For Tot's for Christmas give Early

[grandsport3]

Good Afternoon Fellows, My trucks in the shop for about $1,750.00 in repairs so it looks like I'll get some food by Uber tonight. It's doing a rare drizzle for southern California but luckily everything's within walking distance. Truck should be ready tomorrow.

Thought I'd mention the Toy's For Tot's for Christmas this year I usually give to needy boys and girls appropriate gifts. I just had some Burago and Revell Ferrari 250 LM and a 275 GTB 1/24 diecasts that I stripped the engines and chassis from and put the bodies on eBay for $5.00, nobody bid for them and I thought "Why not put some generic chassis and the Revell/Burago tires and wheels back on. The turned out pretty well and I dropped the polished up car's at my local Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and Fleet Reserve. I'll get some soccer balls, My Little Pony(y) and other toys and some children's fishing sets.

Now is a good time to get rid of some of your models you don't anticipate finishing to get a boy or girl into the Hobby or even just provide anything to a needy kid.

Just remember that collection by the US Marines or veterans organization usually stops by Dec 16 to allow wrapping.  It always gives me a warm and fuzzy to do this for the kids.

Thanx for listening, John

I used to fill the Miata trunk with toys and run them over to the local fire department but had to stop due to the pandemic. Planning to start back up this year.
