Agree with you Chris! This place really feeds my interest in WWII and doing so beyond what any teacher or schoolbook could ever do, not even close!
I'm more convinced that I could learn just as much about WWI, Korea and Vietnam, which I'm also am interested in...
As for other hobbies, this is I think, the only forum where I can share the love for hot rods and kustoms (old school), Railroads, cars, motorcycles, nice architecture....the list could go on!
Just as you say Chris, my door will always be open for any of you that happens to be in the neighbourhood. We might not have much warbird action around here, but there are plenty of other "birds" to look at and admire! It's also on a very short stumble distance from good waterholes...8)
"....and Lucky has allowed me to sharpen my comedic writing skills" I think that you already had it in you mate, you only needed a scapegoat!

Toasting time! 8)

I drink to the health of another,
And the other I drink to is he -
In the hope that he drinks to another,
And the other he drinks to is me!
