SPA Modeler

For a bit. No worries, my 3 grandsons make sure I get my fair share of exercise!

Wow Lawman. That's a tough deal. Being in EMS, I've seen a few people like you. In good health, no smoking, eats right and then just have a heart attack. Sometimes it's congenital.

Well, I guess these pics of my study have been seen by most of you but I want to post them here so I can play along too. When we bought our house in 1989, we started a comprehensive remodel project. We added several new room, one was my study. It seemed plenty big at the time. Yeah, right. Now, 24 years later, I wish it were three times the size! I had a friend with a cabinet shop build my first display cabinet and he also built the second one a couple years ago.

As my interest in collecting firearms also grew, I began to accumulate a lot of gun gear and ammo. Soon I needed a safe (and now I need a second one-current count is around 70 guns total) and all that ammunition "bought cheap and stacked deep" had to be stored somewhere too. I have , ahem, quite a bit stacked in crates and cans in our rear hallway. I think it looks kinda cool my wife Jackie said "it's starting to look like a damn Army surplus store in here." Huh! Like that's a bad thing! She's really cool with all my interests though and never batted an eye when I bought that Colt LE6920MP (M4) rifle a couple weeks ago. I guess she's a keeper...





















And finally, I do my building on this little corner of my work table:

Love that room! I'm sure Miss Jackie meant that comment in the most complimentary way. I think we are fixin' to get a couple of sidearms in a few weeks. All of a sudden the wife wants a CCP! Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm getting one, too, just to be safe.

Thanks Lyle! It's a cluttered mess at the moment. Man, being a world-class "pack-rat" ain't all it's cracked up to be.

"I'm getting one, too, just to be safe"

Ya better not make that woman mad dude!

my room is a complete mess. boxes all over, junk on the bench....needs some serious work. I think you are right about the pack rat!

What´s a CCP, Lyle? I only remember CCCP...

Concealed Carry Permit....Means I'll be packin'...but so will the Missus.

And me thought we Germans are nuts on using abbreviations...
Thanks, mate!
