My kids are wrapping up winter sports and as they dive into school books, they have suddenly become aware that they haven't finished anything of note yet...perhaps soon Monday will get a glimpse of the myriad types of elves they have been working on.
It is ironic that they have dove in while I have slacked off.
In the early morning hours of Monday I capped February off in a grand way. I rolled my car down a steep Michigan hill on my way to work. I am entirely fine-ish( if miscellaneous aches and bruising are discounted) but alas the green beast LeSabre has expired.
My productivity has declined a bit even with the forced time off from doctor orders. I may post a picture of my handiwork later! ;)
I'm rather pleased to have retained my mortal coil and passed on visiting the Happy Hunting Grounds for the moment.
My kids are diving into their books and models now, and I suspect they appreciate just how fortunate we can be. Nobody suspects the Inquisition nor a random explosive deflation of a tire while negotiating a curve leading to a steep downgrade slope either! ;)
Hug your dears, enjoy the good things, and have fun viewing the spectacular eyecandy of the AHPC!
Simon has a post ready and Aaron has returned from his sojourn. I suspect that Aaron was busy preparing a fleet of B-17's as he has quite the carpet-bombing lined up. ( ok so they are 3mm B-17, but they are loaded with an eclectic mix of mini goodness!) I'm pretty sure a few others will show up too. I am working on a few RT models and various other Scifi troops and should have a modest post ready before Saturday.
The finish line fast approaches! Get those brushes blazing! ;)
Yikes, glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jamie!
DeleteJust some aches, but I'm good to go!
I knew I should have commented over breakfast - beaten into second place by Jamie! ;)
ReplyDeleteA fleet of B17s? Not good enough - we want B52s, preferably named Fred, Cindy, Keith and Kate [and Ricky RIP] :)
Whoops! And glad to hear you are in one piece after that accident :)
DeleteAnd now I have the b-52s song list blasting in my noggin...make it stop! ;)
DeleteOuch, that was bad. From your description it could have been a lot worse, but I am glad that you are alive and with us.
ReplyDeleteThankyou! I'm a touch stubborn, but not a good method for getting time off work!
DeleteWow, glad to hear that you're ok and good work keeping up on the minion duties. I'll have a post ready later this am.
ReplyDeleteThanks! quit is a dirty, vulgar word!
DeleteGeez, I'm very glad you came out of that safe and sound. On the bright side you get to re-evaluate the things that matter and shop for a replacement (and safer) set of wheels.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Curt! I've had few of those that would make me nervous if I was a feline. I have cemented the fact that I treat life and death situations with action and profanity. I used my entire repertoire and bit my tongue! ;)
DeleteI was only fearful for my wife and her response, she took the photos and yes I was scolded...repeatedly! ;)
Gosh, that looks bad, glad you walked away from it!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Nasty accident. Glad you are OK. cheers
