Title: The Biggest Posters
Post by: john2 on July 06, 2018, 02:33:14 AM
 :)  Nice to know I am no longer the one on here with the most posts.  Things do change over time.

Anne and I will tie the knot next week.  Then move to a duplex house on this same retirement community campus.  Plenty of room there for her to sew, paint, garden, and cook.  And for me to wash dishes, help cook, maybe paint a little, and of course, get back to building a short track car or two.

Congratulations John.

I'm happy for both of you. I guess the move to the retirement village was a very good decision.
I hope you both are very happy and enjoy your time together.

I'm glad your going to get back to the model bench. I will be watching for some new builds.

 :)  Thanks to all.  Anne has a degree in art, so she is quite creative herself, and understands model space that can be left alone until the next session.

John2....
If you no longer have the "claim" to the most posts, who does?
When I checked out the number of posts, I found that you still have the most posts......unless I'm missing someone.....
???
just curious...... ;) ;D

 :)  Well, I thought Bogard was highest, and you were next.  Maybe I misread them.  lol  It isn't important. 

I used to have a lot of time for models, and this forum, but that has changed.  I don't mind.

 :)  Thanks, Brian.  Obviously I messed up somewhere.  It's an age thing.  80 is within sight.  Not so good at models anymore either.  Eyes are going, hands unsteady.   But, I still love them, and will piddle with them as long as I can. 

Thanks for letting me hang around.

Yep.....having someone to share your life with these days is far more important than hanging out here.....
But.....you still have a little time for us, which is nice as well....
Your posts have always been interesting and inspiring, as have all the builds you've posted over he years....
