Gee Bob that would be great if you could post some up-date pic's of her . Then we could all stand back and go oooooooooo...ahhhhhhhh and then you get to stand back and answer all of our questions about the build ! Sounds like a fair trade to me .

Seems that our beloved Tony and Stephen are missing in action !!!! Stephen I'm sure is really tieing one over with the all girl ground grew which would explain why hanger A is lock down tight .

Tonights film(s) will be Die hard 1-4 . Some one else can do the cooking for tonights menu ................


I think they stepped out to pick up a keg or two.......we just got back from lake geneva today{left friday}...tomorrow I can step back to the workbench and button some things up...yippie ki yay....

Oh no! You don't go blaming me if something is missing. I'm an officer and a gentleman, and have been in the service over the weekend. However, before you get eny ideas Terri - it's green fatigues and not white parade dress when I'm out and about.

Good choice with the Die Hards. I've got the same hairdo as Bruce.

My ideas for tonight is a Swedish airforce marathon. Both of the movies

First out is "first squadron" from 1941, with Northrop B5 dive bombers and jolly language. I'll subtitle simultaneously.


After that one it's time for "yellow squadron" from 1954. Here we enter the jet-age, flying J 29 Tunnan and wearing white caps on the leather helmets, to make them look like hard hats.

And for you with a little rusty Swedish - yes, it says "The fourth strongest airforce in the world" on top, and "up to par with the best American aviation movies" to the right. We were a bit cocky in the fifties, weren't we?

But Bob! I saw above that you have ignored Terri. That's brave. I would never dare such a thing. Were you a testpilot or bullfighter in your previous life?

I think Bob doesn't just to get under some ones skin !!!!

Tony I could never blame you if something goes missing or could I

Nice choice for movies , what else do you have ?

On plus side I have a job interview today and I can still feel the butterflies fluttering around in side me ...........................................

No , No Tony a drink at this time would not be a very good thing at all for me . Afterwards if there is reason to celebrate then yes . I would love to have a beer or two , maybe even some Rum .

Well Terri. Since I'm an old man over forty I can only tell you one thing. -Cut your hair and get a job!

I'm holding my thumbs for you to get it though (Yes, that's what we do in Sweden, since we apparently have a hard time crossing our fingers) and stand prepared with a Stollibolli when you get back with the contract signed.

For tonight I will dig up "flygplan saknas" (aircraft missing) about an A 32 Lansen crew ejecting into the sea. But with that one the swedish-aviation-movie-marathon ends, just because there are no more.

Looking up from the most recent build, sweating, hammer in hand, the sun gleaming on my bronzed skin. Here is a recent project that has had my attention.

Great news Terri. Waddaya do for a living anyway?

By the way - Midsummer on friday! I'll put a few crates of snaps down here, behind the strawberries. Who can roll meatballs? Is the herring ordered and fresh potatoes picked up? Can anybody with large fingers make Terri a ring of flowers for her hair. She just don't seem to cope with strands thicker than 0,5 mm.

Waahooo! Parrtyy! all nite long! Sun too more or less

What scale is that one Stephen. It looks like the rare Anatra BW3XSA without the top wing. Bigger project than I would want to do.
Terri, I wikki'd all day for you and now I'm tikki'd out. Great news, do I hear sounds of a life coming back together. Good luck to you (raises a pint of Labatts)
Sitting in a hotels tonight and planned to mask the lizzie cockpit, just found that my scalpel needs a new blade, doh.

I know you just moved, but you can cook on the grill all year long...I did ribs two weeks ago and a pork roast the week prior to that. Put a tin pan under both with some red wine or beer in it, set the digi meat probe temp, closed the lid and walked away{but peaked in from time to time}. Ribs, single burner out of 3, set at 175 degrees for two hours{foil on} - then last hour baste and let brown up. Sauce of your choice{I use dry rubs primarily}.
Bankers hours are nice, but I'll take the 4 ten hour days I have at the plant, on two week rotations.{2 day weekend/3 day weekend/4 day weekend/3 day weekend..repete cycle}

Well Terri, I have to check on your shoelicence here. Without checking your shoeshelves, how many pairs do you have? If you know that from your head, you're a shoe-afficionado and thus licenced to have and wear any amount you like. But if you don't, your merely addicted, and the shoe police will come and get you!

By the way, regarding midsummer, barely-see-through-lemon-snaps is not as bad as it sounds. I'll try to snatch the recipy!

Winter does make checking the grill alittle "chilly", but anything you can do in an oven...you can do on a grill.
As far as my hours go, I'm ok...I have three pairs of shoes{4 if ya count the sandals}...I'm good!

...drive by posting....Sheeesh!

Tony


See...I said "back the truck up and unload the shoes" and some folks laughed at me...even my soon to be 7yr old has 5 pair of shoes, but she can't hold a candle to her mother's collection!!!{the wife is white collar though...}..."women and lot's of shoes" go hand in hand usually. It's a girls thing I guess......where's the emoticon for "rolls eyes"....
Now the only question is, which does Terry have more of...shoes or models?!
{She'll probably throw a shoe at me here soon!!!! - no stillettos please, someone could loose an eye or something}

Ok, fair is fair - In Terry's defense, I probably have more tools/power tools than she has shoes...maybe! And I eventually use them all too........

On to more important things.....LUNCH!...todays menu will be grilled chicken nachos with lime chips and all the trimmings, but no cillantro..I don't much care for black liquorice...sorry. Cuervo gold shots{no worm} will be made available...lime and salt are on the table by the glasses. I'll pass on that though..the last time I had tequila, was the "last" time I had tequila!{ah mispent days of youth and sitting in my car till 5 in the morning waiting for the world around me to quit spinning so much...helpful tip!...never share a 5th of tequila with a buddy without having anything to eat that night.}
