All Righty ... What are you doing today ?
Hey guys. We're still busy with the remodel but we're almost done! A couple of weeks ago we got the handicap ramp installed at the new house. We found that Ian is getting to the age where it is harder to get him around when he has a seizure, so the Office of Citizens with Developmental Delays paid for us to get a ramp.
We've also gotten to the point in the remodel that Renee and her aunt and sister can start the window treatments.
Ian's Star Wars bedroom
While that was going on I was able to get some bench time but not on a model. I'm working on the master category signs for our model club's contest in January.

Glad you guys got that ramp . I'm sure it will be useful . Didn't even know anything that fancy was available.
Everyone around here has the home made wooden version .
Cheers, Christian B)

Christian, when we first started looking at ramps, we didn't know about the aluminum either. But when we mentioned that we may buy a new mobile home when we get this one paid off, he suggested aluminum because it would be easier to move and we don't have to deal with rot.

Quit my job !!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not being dismissive. Before we came out to NZ, I knew that going back in to Real Estate was a 'good' option for me. Out here all agents are self-employed therefore they can work their hours around their family commitments which is exactly what I needed to do.
Well 18months on and I haven't brought home a pay-cheque and it isn't for the lack of effort and hard work, in fact it COSTS me to go to work. So without boring y'all let's simply say stress is a b*tch and if you don't look forward to going-in on a Monday, then you need to do something about it.
So with my CV updated I'm going to try and get something temporary just to get some pennies coming-in whilst searching for something more permanent. I still have my realtors license so can still work as a 'referring agent' for the next twelve months, but if I also need to stack shelves at one of the local supermarkets then so be it.

Try the other side of it Ian, I put a lot of bread on the table during the mortgage boom around here. Mortgage Brokers are always in demand.

Let's see... Huge fight on Wednesday with the fiance.. HUGE... she gave me the ring back, so I guess that means things are really bad.
A trip to the drug store for the usual stuff... Was invited to my son's for Thanksgiving. Cleveland to Richmond, VA and back. Got my music for Christmas... Way cool solos in Bleak MidWinter, O Holy Night and 1st No L. 
Gathering presents for Christmas to take to the grandkids... Inventoried my 100+ collection for disposal...
Infused myself with medication for my Auto immune deficiency ( NO, SA Dave I do not have AIDS, you f'ing savage. Unlike you and Chef I to not have intimate relations with animals.).
Looking to leave my job in June... if I can swing it. :woohoo: I will just work as a substitute in the burbs... teaching in the inner city is killing me.
even cleaned to desk off enough to see the keyboard.

Ouch, Barney- ouch! Glad you have some good to balance the negs. So you're a singer? I did an unofficial minor in vocal music back in school- bass-baritone, moi. Is your AI Crohn's? Yuck. Good on you for taking the wheel on getting out of a stressful work situation, too.
As for me, I had a busy catch-up weekend after being out of town last week. I really wanted to do an update tonight but that just wasn't in the works. My boss asked me to build one of these:
The thing is- these are HUGE!! I intended to build it at home and take it in to work- but it wouldn't fit in my car! I ended up buying a disposable helium tank at Party City, billable to work. I'll smack it together first thing in the morning, as I get in at 7:15 every day. Gotta leave early to beat LA school traffic.

Dang, Chuk... That is U G L Y... What the boss can't build it ? I had three kids... If it comes from WeBToys I can build it!
Yes, I sing... had partial scholarships at SUNY-Plattsburgh (when I was stationed there) and Troy State (Both times). I am a first tenor and have a better voice @ 60 than I did at 25. Not as much range, but better tone and control... and I love it. I sing in The Singer's Club of Cleveland (check us on Facebook) and at church. I used to do a lot of community theater. However, Cleveland has the 2d largest professional theater district in the US, competition here for parts is killer, and when you're a short, middle aged white guy there aren't a lot of parts.
I have Common Variable Immunoglobulin Deficiency. My body does not produce enough immunoglobulins (IGG) to fight bacterial infections... 100cc of GammaGard every Sunday during a football game... The only difficulty is the things I used to hold the needles in place... the plastic things the use to hold IVs in place... rip up a lot of hair... to Shave or not the shave... getting kinky

Well that sucks Barney. But I guess it would be better to have that type of fight before getting married in a way. Things will get better. As for me. I spent the weekend moving more stuff. The stash has been moved and organized in the new hobby room. Basically I am camping out in the old place until I finish up my job here. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
