Thanks Dave. She's a tough lady and is willing to do a lot for herself. She's tougher than a lot of men I know................

So far.........so good Nick. The prayers are working. There's just no other explanation for it.

Man thanks Craig.

Carl: Gratitude can't begin to cover it. Roy: I appreciate the comments. One day at a time we're makin' it.

Thanks Richard. I found out this evening that the doctor wants to start rehab pretty soon so that is really good news. She's in for a ride but the big picture looks great.

Thanks Dan and Tom. So far she's recovering well. She can speak normally and move all four limbs. Her fine motor skills need some work but she is working real hard to maintain her independence by trying to feed herself and use her hands. She will be in ICU for the remainder of this week and maybe half of next week but will undergo physical and occupational therapy while she's there. I appreciate all the comments, concern and prayers.

Thanks Wayne! I may try to run her at the Nationals in '18 of they're going to be at San Antonio

Thanks Kevin and Scott. Yeah I was unsure if I was going to be able to do anything with it but I made it work fairly well. You can see it if you look close enough (and is what knocked me out of getting Best Aircraft in Show-It was between me and this 1/32 scale F-4 Phantom which I was totally flattered that it was even being considered for that) but other than that it looks fine.

I had a really good friend one time who had a good "counter punch" for that one. Don't say you can't , just say you won't.

Wife is talking good and healing well so far. Good day today was.

That's pretty good. lol. My sister in law says, "Post to". As in "You're post to obey the law." But then again she aint the brightest bulb either. Funny story....and true unfortunately. I went over to her house to pick up my son a few years back. I walked through the living room (the front door was wide open) and noticed the TV out in the living room was on but was blacking out and coming back to "TV" in a rhythmic way. So I go back to her bedroom where she's watching TV in her room with my son and asked her what was up with the TV in the living room blinking on and off the way it was. She replied, "It's those dang airplanes that fly over with their radar on." ( She lives near an airport that has Navy trainer planes doing "touch and goes" all the time). I couldn't help but notice the TV in her bedroom was working just fine so I said , "But Liz, your TV in the bedroom works just fine." Her reply?............"That because they don't fly over this side of the house stupid!"...................I turned and just walked away with my son.

Thank you Joe.

Man thanks JC.

After the upper and lower wing separated at the wing root on the starboard wing in transit to the last show I went to with this one I didn't think I'd be able to enter it in another contest. I was able, however, to repair it and make it presentable for her last appearance on the show circuit before retiring her to the display case for good.She won 1st place in the category and then something I didn't see coming was this: A special award for Best WWII Axis Aircraft in Show: She went out with a bang.... Given all that's happened over the last few days with my wife this is a momentary distraction from it. Thanks to all who have voice concern and prayers, Joe

Thank you Ray, Kevin & Joe. Joe I'm sorry to hear that. It was close on this end. I had just went to a model show in SA the day prior so she was all by herself that day. I thank God for being right in front of her when it happened. Every time I think about how things could have turned out it scares me down to the core. Again thank you everyone who's voiced support, prayers and concern .

Thank you guys. Today is just monitoring. I'll be taking my son & her sister back to Corpus today and returning here to San Antonio later this evening .

I can't begin to express my gratitude for all of the outpouring of support we are getting from everyone to include here. Last night was fairly rough as she was all over the bed all at once. I swear if she had the strength to get up she would have left the bed. NOT a good thing . The staff here got things calmed down fairly quick though. Right now it's a 10 day wiring game to see how she fares through this part.

Got back from the show Saturday night and had a good morning and a decent midday on Sunday. Had my son dropped off at a youth event at church and my wife and I were just kicking back and recapping the show , her day here when my son and I were gon Saturday and all was good. Then about 30 minutes later is when things took a drastic change........for the worse . She had a seizure out of the blue. After calling 911 the paramedics showed up and rushed her to the heart center her in town. It was all a blur as information was being thrown everywhere and I found out that she had a brain aneurism that burst. She was Halo flighted to San Antonio where I am now with her in intensive care after her surgery. I don't know what the coming days will bring but I will continue to pray and take each moment as it comes. Life is a funny thing. We all get shown just how little control we actually have. Stay thankful and grateful in all things because you never know what's around the corner.

Easy fix for a guy with your skills. A drop in the bucket..........

Wood grain on that door panel is award winnin' !!! Hate to hear your luck on the wheels...... On the bright side it looks like you've got it figured out.

That looks way better than my first attempts too Gord. Good goin'!! Thanks for that Ray!! I know the ol' standard 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 firing order but I didn't know where the starting point was on the distributor. I'm wiring a 427 Chevrolet up right now and that was a big help.

Good grief! Note to self..."Gotta remember to read the black thingy's on the white page" Sorry 'bout dat JC.

I look forward to the updates on this one Kevin. Man that car body is just shinin'!!!

I'm a member of that club! I've got stuff everywhere from all kinds of kits. LOL . Great lookin' build so far Dan!!! It was great talking to you this weekend. I'll be seeing you at the Houston show pal.

Nice , crisp detail there JC!! Man that looks like the real thing!! Decals I presume?
