I retired Jan. 1, 2005, maybe Jan 2 as the first may have been a Sunday. Been busy ever since. Really, I don't know how I had time to work when I was working. Bad weather times keep me indoors. Started restoring tractors and at 7 quit. Play with N Scale model trains with 2 elaborate 4'x8' layouts finished. Did all the military equipment I could get on 5ea 8' shelves and hung from the ceiling.
Currently building model ships, Artesnia Latina wooden, 1/65 scale. Have finished a Chinese Junk for a neighbor's house warming and the Nina and Santa Maria. Have the Pinta and Mayflower hulls finished.....interesting the differences in hull designs from 1492 to 1620. Will do the deck installations and rigging this winter. Have the "Constitution" from another mfgr. and half a dozen other boats finished. Built some flyable airplanes, using the battery operated engines. Realized I'm NOT a pilot.
Built a 10" x 24" Florida Excursion Air boat from scratch which was a lot of fun. I can "fly" that on my pond. Really gets up and goes. Amazing construction materials. For this I used 3 ply plywood that is 2.8 mm thick made in Canada.
Every model has a history and for not caring about the subject in school, at my age it's very interesting especially when you think about the ships of our forefathers (and mothers) and what they did to get here and establish this great country.
