I have nothing but good news starting today. When my father finally died Feb 7th, there was a huge task to do in time for my youngest to move in and help my mother, who is recovering from being a caregiver for Dad for 9 months after his first stroke. I tossed enough magazines and out of date engineering and architectural books to fill the cube (8x8x8), dumpster 4 times, approximately 9 tons of crap, representing a garage, a bedroom, a den and a 10x20 storage unit. Then, starting Monday, I moved my son in, finishing yesterday. Now, with five solid days of rain coming, I can lock myself in my shop with slot cars, beer, no phones, lots of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Brian Setzer. I have acquired 6 "stripped" 1/24 kits, AMT kits with no parts but the ones I need for slot cars, and I'm going to build all of them. Ah... therapy! Expect pictures, this is going to be great!
