Eek! Some things haven't changed. I'll have to do some file slimming . . .
Greetings mates! Back from a "3 hour tour " Clipper's journey has taken me across the Atlantic, the North Sea, Germany, France and Amsterdam. And on those shores I discovered many new treasures.

So, Buckeye is very close to Surprise, we will need to find a time to sail. My foot locker of ships is here somewhere . . .
Thanks Chris. Trying to learn to live without a governor, no one says "do you really need more tiny ships or planes." Who needs $ for food when there are so many things to buy, build and collect . ....

They are on the bench, rough cut awaiting a shipment of enthusiasm and energy. Fine motor skills are coming back after last week's joint injections. I did just finish a total redo of my shop as well,...
