Very thankful that we had ration cards to get reasonably priced fuel when we were in Germany . That made things affordable . When I took a vacation there, we used the heck out of the train service. Very convenient and very fast for a reasonable cost. Comfortable and the onboard food was very...

That said, we generally have to travel further when we go somewhere Paddy .

Been back in two weeks from nowhere for four months Chris . Still trying to get it together . The hobby room is the last room to receive some tlc. Where did it all come from ? ? ? Had four years of not building but plenty of time to buy stuff . Also went back to the gym to try and regain some...

Bob, my Accord got twenty on our latest trip to Daytona all mostly between 95 and 100. Because high speed gives you bad mileage :facepalm: Ya know ???

Amen to the age thing . The electric cars are the most ridiculous thing I have ever whiteness in vehicle ideas. The things Europe are just as flaky . If everyone had an electric vehicle the grid would not support them. Also, how do they generate all that electricity ???

:good:

The Germans make great products but as an example, while in Germany I dropped a valve in my Supper Beetle . They wanted to replace engine. My cost for repair ( by myself ) $50 . Another time ,I had a German Ford that needed a U joint . Shop " replace drive shaft with reconditioned item " ...

Obviously north of Atlanta :smack:and obviously on Augusta status !:rotf:rotf:rotf . Would be squadron shop replacement is a long way from here . . .

Not going to say much about German cars . The US versions are much different than the ones found in Europe. Even the Beetles were like that . Great engineering , wonderful performance but darn it when they brake down. Usually have to take their cars half apart to fix anything . Crazy expensive...

Might as well use all eight . You bought them all .. ..

Very nice John . Thank you . The longer I go, the more I enjoy Japanese airplanes

Thanks Paddy . I just experienced the same problem, viewing it as I do BBC news. I use to depend on them for different news, but now that they are demanding money and I refuse to pay ransom for things on line, I only get the opening statements .

Can't speak about the one you are frequenting Tim but I have nothing but praise for the Columbian . A true first class place . Many options .Don't remember any fish but that won't be an issue for you . . .

Darn Tim being in Florida and not liking fish is as strange as being a Dutchman and not liking beer . Or was it cheese. Well, if that does not work for you, go to the Cuban restaurant The Columbia. They have many good items. Probably even Chicken... LOL !

I agree on the good to see ya. Lot of things taking place though . Let's think in a positive attitude. Then again getting my modeling cave going would be really good but it's gonna take more time . The rest of the house is livable
