RMweb Premium airnimal Posted August 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2017 John, thanks for the kind words ! Having retired last year I have been trying my best to travel as much as I can and build all the models I have been promising myself for over 40 years. Some people think that retirement is the end but I believe it is just the start of a great time. If a friend of mine can ride on a bike up a thousand metre hill in Cuba in 34 degree heat at the age of 78 then the is hope for us all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
