Captain, the thought of Lorraine let loose on one of those things frightens the life out of me.

She is just fine pulling the old plough.

You know guys we spend many hours a week on this site ......We better hope that while we are at work our wifes don't go online and check out this site and learn all
our trade secrets or we are ALL so busted....

Jim, I am wondering if you missed my fine print, I was talking about "culling the cat population."

You are sooo right JP, I sometimes get the feeling that our good ladies know everything we get up too but choose not to comment most of time.
Every now and again they stamp their feet just to let us know who the boss is.
I must say that it does sort of spice things up a little when I think I have sneaked something in under the radar.

Captain I fear you know me too well.
I am kneeling on the floor to type this because the darn cat is asleep on my chair !!!!

No, unfortunately, Jetfan, my wife doesn't have anything she spends her money on. She's that rare combination of beautiful, intelligent and a spendthrift. She never wants to go out, hates shopping and would rather have me save my money than buy her presents! The downside to this is she gets on my butt when I spend money (if she only knew how much too ). It's not like we struggle either! We live in a beachside community in a house that's paid off, have no car payments and have no kids...yet.

Anyway, I just keep reshuffling the boxes and when she asks I tell her that I'm trying to keep the boxes from crushing each other (and that's why the room looks more crowded with planes).

If I bought those the straw would settle on the camels back and Kaboom!!!!

Send the paramedic my way with a new camel then! Try having a 1/16 Tiger I, a 1/16 King Tiger, a 1/32 Mossie, a few of FM B-17's/B-24's/B-26's/B-25's/Ju-52's/C-47's, a crapload of 1/18 aircraft (comeon JP, you certainly can sympathize) AND the crowning jewel......a 1/6 Sherman (friggin' hard to hide BTW). Good thing I sold the 1/6 Tiger I a couple years back!

Here you go, just remember the little Sherman sitting on top of the 1/6 one is 1/18 scale so you can imagine the size of the bugger!
