Thanks Red. Everyone is doing pretty good & starting to get back to normal :thumbs_up_1: My 15 yr old niece still struggling with nightmares but, she's a trooper.
Hopefully I'll have the work finished up here soon & can get my modem replaced soon

Thanks John :thumbs_up_1: It looks like I'll be here another week putting the final touches on the clean up & then go back home. Then I'll worry
about getting back online there as I need a modem :censored_2:

Seein' the new guy's pics on the Carrier Builder's Yard thread... I've moved Ranger back to the 'To Do' pile even tho I'm still at my dad's :thumbs_up_1:
Think the latest pics that were posted there got me fired up again!!
I haven't done anything on her in quite awhile due to daily life & having been ill, in & out of the hospital & unable to slap any plastic as a result. The past couple months I've been getting my grip back in my hands & strength & stamina have returned for the most part. Up to about 90% now compared to where I have been!!
Have slapped some plastic the past couple months. Mostly wingy thingies... but, feels good to do be able to build once again! I'll keep y'all posted.

Red, you git my email??

Ranger is going back on the bench real soon! :big_grin: I am also awaiting word on possibly getting my hands dirty on a 1:1 scale Vigilante in June!! :lol_3: :woo_hoo: I've alreasdy put my bid in on becoming a Volunteer at Castle Air Museum which is only an hour's drive south of me & they're going to have RA-5C 156615 brought up from China Lake in June. I've already contacted the head man of the Vigi team & ran down my story with the Vigis and he forewarded my email to the head of the restoration Dept. So, we shall see what happens... I'm really excited about this!!
