A song of praise for the stash.

[Ulf]

A lot of malicious and judgmental words come to light when someone's stash comes up, but now with just in time and online shopping, it is still important to have prepped and be ready, learn. Three weeks ago I slipped and broke my ankle badly, ambulance, hospital, waiting, surgery and now convalescence, one month remains with plaster and crutches. In short, the kit I ordered online as soon as I got home from hospital has not been seen but when I retired I got an Italeri truck, not a kit I would ever buy but now it is perfect to be able to build it will probably be half naked to use some model car kit YouTubers nomenclature, some details painted but the body left unpainted. After this with this experience I will be even more careful about commenting on anyone's stash, if I am going to say anything at all it will be a reminder of the importance of having a balanced stash that includes something for all situations; even the unexpected ones.

Wishing you a quick recovery and looking forward to see what magic you work with this one.

Hopefully you're healing well, broken bones and the immobilization that goes along with it is not fun. You are 100 percent correct on a balanced stash,  getting out ones comfort zone is a good way to improve at the hobby.  By the way, I've looked at a few of your builds,beautiful work.

Hope you get well soon. That sounds painful.

I had rhinoplasty in 2000, spent those 1st few days roughing out a pro street Chevelle.

In 2016 after heart surgery, I started a chopped '48 Ford, it was good therapy.
