Hey Cheyenne – good to hear you’re enjoying the big R as much as I am, we signed off around the same time early this year. Every day’s a vacation & the best part is I can’t quite get used to it, hope I never do...ahem or get too smug about it! I only have one complaint about your latest progress – it’s way too engrossing, superb

Dave , Tim , thanks a lot guys .

Dave , most of my stuff comes from ref pics either built as an exact copy or loosely translated elements from a ref pic .
I have plans in my melon and just go with them .
Yeah , I'm a 60's teen , my younger brother [rip] was a 70's teen , not much difference unless you were into Disco .
No offence to any Tony Monero Disco people out there , but your music had a short life and did die .
Goodbye sister Disco with your flashy trash dance .......... hey that would make a good line for a song .

Tim , yeah retirement is way cool , only took me a week to stop getting up at 4am to get ready to go to work .

My real embarrassment is how I laid the pavers , I didn't see it till Robin pointed them out , ........ and I finished the whole patio .
That's the other side of being in your 60's .

To top all that off I've been building 1/1 scale additions , decks , floors , pavers etc for 55 years as side jobs .

Given the scope of this gigantic,extremely detailed project,I would say that circle of pavers fades into inconsequence ? Glass half full brother,

Aha! I'm somewhat similar, but hey whatever it takes! Right?
Being on various jobs will do that to you, the melon in constant flux. But so will daydreaming, in miniature, whilst in a cubicle farm day to day.
In all seriousness, really love whatcha yer doin'!

Remember the CWS Disco Demolition Night, 79', a doubleheader at Comiskey which quickly spiraled out of control? They were forced to forfeit the 2nd game...
Oh the olden golden days of promotions gone bad!

Regards dude
Dave
