Gawd, but I love that paint job!

Ordered a new DSLR a couple weeks back, but looks like it'll be a
while before I get to use it at an air show. Coinkydinkally I also
collected a pacemaker/defibrillator this week...

All I need now is my official Decrepit Curmudgeon Club Card and a
rocking chair.

Foo.

I guess I have to give up my card. After twenty-something years with a
pacemaker (I got it in my 20s), mine was removed for good a couple of
months ago. That was just after an abandoned lead eroded through my
chest wall & eventually lead to open heart surgery to correct, a few
weeks ago. I am now metal-free for the first time in decades (except for
the wire they put my breastbone back together with.

Gosh, glad to see you're on the mend, Bob. After you get done reading
the new DSLR's manual, maybe you could order wheels and a motor
for that rocking chair! We really miss your coverage of shows and events.

Pic is neighbor with his "highly modified KR-2S". Glue, sticks and foam!
The planes I WAS familiar with were aluminum, steel and titanium, so
I'm learning a lot watching Doug. (he's the little guy)

Been working on a cane, but lately thinking perhaps two will be required.

Eep.

I'm still not certain they farked up and sewed a VW Bug in there...
Big enough lump, and I have vague, drug-fuzzed memories of them
showing me something the size of a fat MP3 player with a good 20 yards
of garden hose attached. And I swear I can hear the thing over my AM
radio.

Still waiting for the "I'll tase myself, Bro!" t-shirt...

Managed to haul it out on the balcony and grab a 787 yesterday, but
too pooped to download the pictures yet. Real Soon Now.

It's good to have a hobby. And a huge credit limit...

>Been working on a cane, but lately thinking perhaps two will be required.

Still teetering around without, but starting to think seriously of one
of those Rollator doohickies for long days without chairs.

Or maybe just a nice shawl...
