I had a break down in Albuquerque a few months ago. Nothing to do at the hotel. Took an uber to the mall and found a couple models. It wasnt pretty when i got it done, but occupied my time aswell as picked up a Rosetta stone language kit, to brush up on my italian. The things we have to do with the world being like it is right now !

Ah beautiful Tuskegee P51. When I was station at Homestead ARB, FL, our flying squadron would deploy and become part of the 332 Expeditionary Operations Group. Our guys did a lot of cleaning in the desert.

PAC hunting and DG culling is a particular favourite passion of mine and I have been lucky to be able to do a lot of it....the dynamics of the hunt are just so different and in many cases a lot more dangerous than just normal DG hunting...

Yes sir. Maerklin.

I run an AC setup, mostly Maerklin, and a few Roco and Liliput. Epoche II.

Covid gave me the time to finally pull all the trains out of their storage boxes and start building a layout.

I even built a Rifle shop to cater to all the big game hunters living on my layout:

Must be a real dream come true to have the ability to hunt like that daily !
My uncle was a import/export in durban. I spent every school break at his house from 1978 to 1990. I was envious of his life to say the least. He retired in 1985 , due to things being changed in the government and moved around africa. I had the great privilege to see a lot and hunt alot all over.
At 48, now I look back and relish the memories.
Your a lucky man, to have that daily life!

Fishing- particularly like trout and salmon fishing in large rivers. Nothing like swinging a flesh or leech pattern on tight line with a solid take by a large rainbow right at the end of the swing! Or teasing a fresh run coho to grab a leech pattern.

Not daily otherwise I would not be here typing this....but yes privelaged to be able to do it....

Scary under many sircumstance especially when you get a call and an attempt has gone south and you need to deal with a specific wounded animal...wounded by the dudes in control and they have given up...and decide to rather give someone else a call....

So if you dont mind what's your day job if it involves beer and whiskey?.....

I'm in R&D. New product development for one of the big US brewers. Lots of beer day to day and I started out in the UK, plus it's an incestuous industry, so plenty of friends in the scotch whisky game as well.

Avoid a hangover stay piss.d....
I could live with that...

Not sure of the brand, but it's a car rim and tire. The motorcycle has a back tire conversion and takes the same exact rim and tire combination.

I rock up on a Friday morning and head straight to sensory where I have a couple drinks on the quality assurance panel. From then on, I've started, so might as well drink on through till Sunday!

And I get paid for this!

The sad thing is that they don't export the good ones. Miller High Life or Coors Banquet. Delightful. Bud Light. Less so..
