I have to keep records for references and so forth. Being disabled since 1989 I have taken over the cooking, the wife was terible at it, I run the errands and do the banking and grocery shoping and handle the general family affairs, includeing my mothers since she had to go to a nurseing home last Feb. The wife now works for the last 10 years. I also build models as a way of realxation. Some people think that is nuts. So far this year I have built the 3 Big Bad colored AMX's, a 74 Hornet promo like my yellow 74 when it was new, a Man with the Golden Gun 007 Hornet, A purple 74 Javelin, a 71 Penshe T/A Javelin and a 67 Ambo. I am trying to finish a Rebel Machine by the end of the month. Model building is what I do when I am stuck in the house. This winter I am going to make all new interior panels for the new Hornet besides a few more AMC Models. I wish it was spring as I hate winter. "Doc"
