Prayers up!

Just to ensure that everyone is aware, we are talking about your relative here, right...not popeye.

Here on the forum, the "old Sailor Man," would be considered by most to be Popeye.

Roger that, surprising how many sailors have come from the prarie?
I'm sure he will no doubt appreciate the prayers!

Congrats siege!

Welcome to the "club," (so to speak) and may it be a great tool for you in visiting places on earth, and in allowing your progress in your chosen field, and path in life.

I know it is not an easy thing to come by and takes a lot of work, even much more so for those who go through the process to become citizens who were not born as such.

My USA visa gives me multiple rights to enter the U.S. for up to ten years which suits me just fine.I love going to U.S. but have no desire to live there on a permanent basis. I have wondered on a theoretical basis if I'm eligible for permanent U.S.passport/residency because my mother was a first generation American.

Our Black lab/German short Hair mix, Lady, has always particularly liked fetching basketballs (along with almost anything else).

When they are new, she will gnaw a tab on them from the leather and carry them around that way. Ultimately, they get so worn out, there is no more leather or material for a tab, so she has to roll them around.

This morning she brought a worn out one to me in my model shop wanting to play. So I stopped working on my project, and played with her...and filmed it.

Regarding my latest model build:

That table is 30" wide. The wingspan is almost 36" and the length is probably 28" or so. This model takes up LOTS of space and it is certainly stretching my workbench's ability to accommodate it.

Hehehe...I showed my wife and asked if I could temporarily take over the dinner table. LOL! At this point that solution is a negatory.

If the space in your construction room allows, it may be time for a workbench extension. The model is looking really good already, Jeff.
Now maybe next spring it's about time to construct a 1/72 airfrield in your back or front yard, if available, for all your aircraft. Just dig over a maybe 1' wide stripe and poor a thin layer of plaster on it.
And remebmer, not asking means you can't get negative answers ;)
Long term, that tactic might have it's downsides, though.

Hehehe...we've been married 38 years...so the long term is already in place.

I learned a long time ago...and she has trained me well.

And I am thankful for it too.

To all of you...here's some adivse:

Cherish, love, respect and appreciate your good wife. It is well worth it to work through any difficulties and hard times. Note I said, "good" wife. Mine is, and I am willing to admit that far more than half...probably on the order of 75% of issues have been on me.

We worked through them all.

Then six years ago when I got cancer, when I had three very major surgeries in three weeks (14 hours, 18 hours and 12 hours) and lay near death in an ICU for six weeks, she stayed in the ICU with me and only left to change clothes, eat and bathe. Every time I woke up she was there.

I am vary certain her being there made a HUGE difference and probably saved my life.

All the honey-dos, all the giving in, all the having to eat crow were more than worth it.

This is just some advise from someone who has been there.
