Well it turned out someone spread the funk, all for of us have Covid except that skinny young guy back there who runs 5 miles a day. I hate that guy....

We stopped by my buddy Tim's house and he noticed The Troublemaker has a bigger box that his 4-door Dodge.
"Yes. This is a Pick-up. You have an overgrown car."

The actual TLAR Models Hobby Shop is taking shape. I got me a comfy chair, a ton of model kits (not all of them are pictured here) and an ashtray. The last of the model kits moved in here from the tornader-damaged bedroom today.
I plan a ladder and roof-top deck for the 22-foot steel shipping container. The "urinal" will be upstairs. Teresa called it a "party deck".
Gawd! Now I suppose I'll need a big slide too! As many of us do, in our 4th quarter of life, I have come the realization that I must sell all these, because I won't be alive long enough to build even the model kits I love best. Prices are reasonable! Have a look-see!

Also, the Troublemaker is trailer-capable. We may ply our wares on the road as well.
Thanks for looking in!

And the captains chair has strap down so buckle up kiddies!!

The container is on an incline, so the chair stows itself. One cannot be to careful at our age (hem) can one?

Current situation...

Yesterday was my final day at Bussanmus Heating and Cooling. The work environment there has become increasingly toxic and hostile.
Bryan called me at home and cussed me out, with my sweet wife right next to me, because I didn't repair all the failings of others.
I didn't used to allow myself to be bullied by people with such teensy peckers in this fashion. Never again.
We don't have an emoji for "Kiss My Rebel Dick!" It would be appropriate in this case.

I have never had it yet, nor my wife or my son and its been out there for over 5 years now. I must be lucky.......i hope it stays that way as I can't afford to get it with the year I had in 2024.....

March AFB was on my list of places to visit, unfortunately it had pretty much closed down when I got out there in '03. It had been 15AF headquarters prior to that, but got caught up in BRAC. Just about ruined the economy in that area.

Yeah but mega warehouses and Amazon delivery centers took up the slack. I showed the guys aerial photos of the surrounding lands back when March was isolated and compared it to today. Hotel we stayed in was right on the old Riverside race track was.

Do consider yourself lucky. First time I had it was Feb 2020, just when it was breaking out. Took a month to get over it. I had every symptom they mentioned. This time was just a bad flue.

Last time I (supposedly) had it was nothing more than my usual 3 day summer cold. Runny nose, slight cough, and a little blah feeling. Started Sunday morning, and felt better by Wednesday afternoon.
I did have the Delta strain back when it was all gloom and doom. Was sick for a week and a half, and then they wouldn't let me back to work for another week and a half. The doctor wanted to keep me off for a 3rd week then, but I was already back to 95% and finally managed to get back to work.
