Been putting it off but finally finished it. Now I have the light kit to put in...

Dr called in an Rx for pain med at 9a today until she can get in to see the neurologist.  Walgreen's having no sense of urgency sends her a text at 2p it's ready.  By the time I get Frank (dachshund) in his crate and a few other things its 2:20p so I make the ten minutes drive.  One car ahead of me in the drive through (judging by the number cars in the parking lot it would be too peoplely inside).  Few minutes later, I roll up....."Oh we're just finishing it up, should be another 5-10 minutes"  Seriously?  I told the young lady its no problem, put the car in park, put the tinted window back up and turned the stereo back on!  I'm not driving around or going to do something as you texted her 30 plus minutes ago.  About 90 seconds later, oh look the little ray of sunshine is back with my Rx.

Wow...I seriously just channeled my father on this one!  I still have a pact with a neighbor that if either of us catch the other mowing the grass in black socks and sandals, just take that person out!  No warning shot!!

A Bittersweet Pleasure today.

My Dad would have turned 88 today. He's been gone now about 23 months.

I think about him all the time. I miss Him, but I'm glad he's not fighting the Alzheimer's anymore.

He turned me on to model building. He built plastic kits in the Navy in Japan. For years I had an old Revell Hospital Ship that he had built.

I should go get one and build it is his honor.

I miss You, Dad.

What pleased me, is being involved with the auto club more than ever.  I think of one Charter member as a dad, mine passed last century and I still think about him.  It helps to have father figures in your life.  Being one is way harder. 😅

This weekend is our big car show, I know people, could park Fakerri overnight here.  Normally no way.  Blue Cloud is running like a champ, helped with set-up.

Paid off getting up before the sun, to get a primo parking spot to keep an eye on while working the Water booth.  Didn't get much time to watch spectators.

Mine died in 1980, I think of him every day... I was just getting to know him as a person and not just a force of God.

I'm now significantly older than he ever was and yet I still feel like a child when I think of him.

Still miss my Dad,  been gone since Christmas 1999, when I was only 29.  I wish I had spent more time with him as an adult..I was busy in my 20s away at college and grad school, then 2000 miles away establishing my career...

I hear ya, and the same here, missing mine everyday. My dad would have been 100 on July 27th had he lived. That was a mile marker he really wanted to make but he passed at 98 1/2. 

The Hospital ship would definitely be a cool build to remember your Dad by with every minute you work on it and when it's displayed. 

My dad wasn't a model builder but he did build a few airplane kits that represented airplanes produced by Martin Marietta where he was employed for a period of time. I still have two of those that survived the years.
