What Annoyed You Today? (1 Viewer)

ARrrrggghh...virus. Laptopdown for at least two days.Using Kobo to write this. V-1 is finished. Pics when I'm back up

A few nights ago - a situation I loathe, but can't help laugh at, too:

- shakes pillows, ruffles sheets, digging in.
*flump* *shuffle* *scratch* *happy sigh*......*relaxing deeply*......*buries nose under sheets*...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................*almost asleep*..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................*poot*...*gag*...*gasp*...*panics*...*flailing arms and legs everywhere*...*flees*

A friend of mine found a aviation print at a sale ,asked me to see if it was worth anything alls he could remember is that it was signed by JE Johnson , so we did a google search of signed Johnson prints so we could figure out what it was . I think Johnson must have signed every print that had a Spit in it , the man must have had writers cramp its almost impossible to find a Spit print he didn`t sign . His siggy can`t be worth all that much if anything

Oh yes it is Neil!
Even from the 'Masters', but more so from more obscure artists - given it's his actual signature and not a printed copy!

If it isn't rare or unusual it devalues , if its exclusive to 1 or 2 it becomes of value if there are thousands ,,,need I say more

Spent all day cleaning 5 years worth of junk out of the garage and will be lucky to finish if I work all day on it tomorrow. So much for a relaxing weekend.

I have had to admit defeat with the underhouse store /garage too. I swore 7 years ago that I would not fill the space up with crap...but, I have.
That's my spare time job for a few weeks. Ebay, carboot sales and the tip here I come...
I keep saying 'be ruthless...you don't need that..be ruthless'. There is always a large pile of 'things that may come in usefull one day'

Have what appears to be yet another sinus infection, but this one seems to have spread to my lungs too!!! Back on anti-biotics. On top of that I managed to pull some muscles in my neck and right shoulder in my sleep over the weekend. Just not getting so I can turn my head to the left without saying some naughty type words.
Time to take a handfull of Advil, a snort off the inhaler, and a shot of saline spray up the shnozola. Still, life could be worse.

...don't feel well.

Now that WOULD be a turn up for the books..............Shuck, you'd never get congress to agree.

woke up at 4.30am!!!

Spent over an hour yesterday making up and painting the exhaust assemblies for my Hawk75 model, modifying them to look more realistic. Went to put then on tonight and dropped one. Spent the last hour looking for it with no luck.

Not sure how to put this one. Last Saturday, on my way home to Denver from Dallas, I came across an accident that had just taken place. It was on Hwy 135 south bound about 20 some odd miles south of Salina Kansas. A van carrying a Hispanic family of 7 rolled several times in the median. I pulled past it and since there were no emergency personel at the scene, I ran back to do what I could. The scene was terrible. Of the 7 people in the van, only two wore seat belts. All those that did not wear their seat belts were ejected from the van as it rolled. Bodies and personal stuff were lying everywhere. I started trying to assess who needed the most help and got two retired nurses to the most critically hurt. Myself and another ex-soldier tried to help a middle-aged man to breath as his tongue started to swell. A large woman was being given CPR not far from us when her heart slowed down and stopped. She was thrown a little over 25 yards from the final resting spot of the van. They got her pulse back up but a few minutes later it stopped again. She died. The man I was working on was thrown about the same distance. His head had hit the edge of the street on the opposite side of the median. He moved very slowly but so we did what we could to keep him breathing but even I could tell his eyes were unseeing. He was dead, his body just didn't know it yet. A 10 yr old girl, the one the two nurses were working with died. A 4yr boy was wondering around, dazed and bleeding. We got him to sit and comforted him as best we could. He survived but was in critical condition last I heard. Another woman was face down but crying. We told her to remain still but she kept trying to get up. She survived but in critical condition. The two still inside the van survived. One was a 1 yr old boy in his car seat. He was banged up and bleeding but ok, the other was the driver. He was also banged up but ok. Apparently he fell asleep at the wheel while driving about 75 mph. At the scene I felt nothing, my full concentration was on what I could do to help. Once enough emergency personel had arrived, I left. Now I can still see their faces as they died and I'm just sad that they didn't bother to wear seat belts. It's taken a couple days now to get past what I'd seen. I'd seen worse before but it surpises me how something like that can bring back old memories. Everybody please... always wear your seat belts when driving. You never know what can happen.

Jesus Night Fighter, that's terrible.
