Thought maybe I'd give you guys that are interested an update as to what's been going on around here. As most of you know Diane and I made a trip back to Marietta Georgia to visit my Mom. Da passed away last November and there was a lot of stuff she wanted me to take home. Actually there was way more than I was able to load into Diane's Bronco Sport!
We decided to take Scooter with us on this trip. Scooter is the little ornery one with three feet. We had to have our bigger dog (the bigger brown, nice one) put to sleep due to cancer. We spent six days on the drive to Marietta. Scooter actually did really well, even staying in the motels. He seemed to like the road! Nothing really exciting happened on the drive there, just the usual stupid drivers here and there. I guess most all the states have their own.
While we were at Mom's I went through Dad's stuff. He had a lot of stuff (must be where I get it), though most of it was not stuff I am really interested in. Lots of HAM radio stuff and diecast cars of all sorts. We spent almost two weeks with Mom. As usual I ate some of the best food I have ever had! If I lived in Georgia I would weight about 400 pounds!
After the Bronco was loaded we headed out for home. When I say l "loaded", I mean LOADED! I had to stop loading because I could not fit ANYTHING else into the car! I mean I left some coats behind because I could not wad them up into any spot in the car. From Mom's we drove up to Pennsylvania to see my son John, his wife Chrissi, my grandson Grayson, and my granddaughter Lilly. The drive back home was a pain in the ass! We came across through the northern states, which I will NEVER do again! Toll road after toll road, and all kinds of construction! But we did see a lot of country we hadn't seen before.
Once we got home the Bronco got unloaded and the track got covered......A big thanks to Kirk Smith for helping me unload, and then taking all the HAM radio stuff to a swap meet and selling it for me. My next task was finding a place for 1/24 diecast cars....lucky for me I talked Bob Nakamura into buying all the 1/24 NASCAR diecast! Sometimes you just gotta make 'em a deal they can't refuse! There were about 30 of them in total! I kept the 40 or so Danbury Mint 1/24 diecast, which meant I had to reorganize my displace cases.....again! I added four more shelves to my tall case and then moved slot cars around to make room.


The entire bottom of this case is now Danbury Mint diescast cars. If anybody is interested I would probably be willing to sell some.
