I'm right there, brotha. Right there.

I discovered this discussion only now, perhaps because in these days I have come to terms with the pain of losing a loved one. A week ago My father 
passed away.
He was a good father and I want to remember him here with you as well.
This was him when he was young. Now he has turned the starter and flown into the sky.

Today is bittersweet as we do our final walk through to make sure we have everything out of my wife's parents' property. Tomorrow the new owners take possession.

Well. It is. But is it also a new start. For the new owner but also for you.
Being sad about it means being glad. Is means there were good times there.
History in your family.
I remember closeing the last time the house i grew up in. Mam and dad died there.
Is kinda hard.
But. I remember a lot of very good stuff there.
Hope you have the same.

It's the end of an era. My wife's father bought the property, 5 1/2 acres, a year before she was born. Laid the foundation, built the fireplace and chimneys himself. He was a bricklayer. Planted over 4000 trees. Built a miniature log cabin playhouse for his daughters. My kids spent many summer days playing in those woods. It always took at least two weeks to deprogram them when they came home. My wife's mother passed last year. It's exactly a year since we had to place her in hospice.
The new owners seem nice and intend to maintain its agricultural status. Maybe we can make a deal on some of the equipment.

My prayers go out to the families impacted by the flash flood that swept through Texas last night. For those who lost their lives and for those still missing.

I have been off site for a while. I decided to fire my doctor office after 8 years+ because they don't listen to me, don't tell me what they are doing, several billing errors, cancelling my office visit and not telling me and an attitude of they cannot be bothered with me. They merged with another group and just running number through the offices. I have not been having a good run the past two years health wise. I just hit the time in life where things don't work right and no spare parts.
The new doctor office has been great. I am seeing a nurse practitioner that specializes in endocrinology. It's been a month and my diabetes is almost under control. On the first visit she announced that I needed an EKG because of an irregular heart beat. Well that cannot be good. It took two weeks to see the cardiologist. The test results came back in a week. Nothing major. I have an enlarged heart. I was shocked to here I have a heart. I have always been told I was heartless. It was caught early and may be reversible. No blockages and no damage was found. The next day, my wife called me at work. She was told she has cancer. Again it was caught early. We are waiting to see the surgeon on Friday. I am drained. I'm to young to retire. I cannot quite my job that I really like. The pay is not bad but the health insurance is free and better than average. Sometimes I just want to crank up the radio and build a model.

Yes. Death always wins in the end but make him fight for it.

After you are done building them, be sure you go somewhere where you can pretend to be flying them - maybe add in some dog fights or gun passes. And make sure you do the appropriate sound effects.
Maybe video yourself doing it, and watch/critic your skills afterward. I find that sort of thing helps reduce stress and makes me feel better.- Thread starter

Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed, 14 others injured, two critical. Three adults also injured.A church in Minneapolis was attacked this morning during services. Multiple casualties including children.
The shooter fired into the building through the windows, deliberately targeting the children. He then took his own life.

How sad news like this!
Nothing personally as tragic as what is listed above but my small Nevada town is again feeling the effect of the California fires: which are tragic.
As of yesterday CalFire reports that so far in 2025: 425,680 acres (172,270 ha; 665.12 sq mi (1,722.7 km2) have or are in the process of burning. Even out little airport had an Air National Guard C-130 equipped with MAFFS (modular air fire fighting system) stop in.
Our slice of Nevada is normally CAVU; today the overcast is 10/10 and it isn't clouds. One of the reasons we retired here is because of the view of the mountains a half hour drive away. Today they can't be seen. Our normally outdoor pet is staying inside the house.
The photo was taken last night a few hours after moon rise looking EAST: away from the fires. I'll try for another photo tonight. Please keep the victims ad responders in your thoughts.
