My Christmas Present...
« on: December 11, 2019, 06:00:50 pm »
...to myself  :D

Cats and engine shown for scale  ;)  :D

And NO I am not waiting till Christmas to open. It's already been a LONG wait and fingers are crossed everything is safe inside... Off to find a knife...

Exactly how I plan to be buried... Entombed perfectly in my collection of bubble wrap and peanuts that will probably be in my basement till I'm dead because I'm no good at selling off engines  ;D ;D

Haha I could have drug it out (that looks weird typed out, but that's how everyone around here says it instead of dragged...), but the photos were posted "live" as I was un-packing. Now it's all un-packed and ready for a half-way decent picture...  ;)
