My oldest and his family have arrived safely on their PCS move from Camp LeJuene. He's got 30 days leave to get settled in before reporting for duty. They are renting a townhome near our old house for 6 -12 months before they buy their own place. This is good to wait, as an O3 over 4 salary looks better on loan apps than an O2 over 2.
30 years ago today, i asked the new girl at work out on a date.
Married her 2 years later, still going strong after all this time.

I used similar sort into my late teens or early 20's.
If the heating element wire burn out you could replace it with new wire available from most hardware stores.
Now we are in a society where nothing is repairable and they wonder why there is so much garbage that needs processing at great expense.

Same problem and when we went to Hawaii for a full family xmas last year wife and I got covid. Saw SFA of grand kids while they were there as we were in isolation for almost their whole stay. We gave them their xmas presents in a windy park on Jan 7th and they flew home to the mainland next morning.

Man you must be ancient. I am 80 and my grand kids are pre teens. Then again I did not get leg irons until 35 (and it was well worth the wait).

I hit the big 80 a little later this year and I tied the first knot in 68 so had a bit of a head start on you.

Only bursitis in the shoulder and mild impingement from the fall. One of the ribs is healing up, but no.6 is still hurting. Good physical therapy session. I guess I should be happy I didn't break anything. My brother on the other hand (we don't speak much as he has some serious issues) had three strokes and kept the news from me and my second oldest brother. He has 15% movement in his fingers and can't move his left arm. He didn't want to appear weak or old. What a ridiculous old man he has become.

So it now has been proven that if one wants a long life, a marriage that stick you together as were you superglued and get old in shape and sharp as a pen knife, you have to have a big intrest in airplanes and/or moddeling.
Soooo.... next time you buy a kit and the other half is asking, you can say, you are working on a happy marriage.
Hows that for an irrefutable excuse??
No need to thank, you all are welcome

One of those gorgeous Fridays, a cool 70F, took the muscle car to work windows down, fired up Spotify, started with Commander Cody and "Hot Rod Lincoln" followed by Stevie Winwood and "Gimme Some Lovin".
