Last SITREP was that the courier had 229 issues, and was behind in getting it to the transport. I believe it is leaving today ??... arriving soon to my secret drop spot...

Agents are casing the area as we speak for spider holes and double agents,.N-zi spies were seen in the area... albeit in 1944...Whistling

National Geographic TV had a one hour program titled "Hitler's Stealth Fighter" on last night.  I missed the first 30 minutes, but the model makers at Northrop Aircraft produced a 1:1 model of the Ho229.  Apparently Northrop has a top secret model building facility that builds full size models for radar testing.

Any one get to see that?

I have watched it several times, in fact in a nod to the ribbons I sport, last night I was going to watch it again and was told with a resounding NO that I have seen it too many times already.

Where am I on the list to handle the gadget? I am giddy with anticipation.

Ahhhhhhhhh!  That explains it.  It is a top-secret facility.   I recall seeing those blurred out figures, but I didn't see any cats. Confused

Yep, I've seen that one a couple of times, on History Channel up here I believe. Manny is actually visible in several of the shop scenes - always at the back of the room, with a blurred-out face...

Hey guys... sorry the gadget has been delayed. It wasn't my fault... I was inspired be JeffW.... Allow me to explain:

Ya see... first I had to check with my wife to make sure it was OK for me to sign it...

Then I had to check with my wife to find out what color ink I should use...

Then I had to check with my wife to ensure I could use one of the 'good' pens (aka one with ink)...

Then I had to check with my wife so she could proofread it to make sure my signature was grammatically correct...

Then I had to check with my wife so she could determine if my signature was in the most appropriate spot or if I should scribble it out and start all over again...

Then I had to check with my wife to see if I could use an envelope to send the gadget on its merry way...

Then I had to check with my wife to see if I could have a stamp....

Then I had to check with my wife to find out what day I should put it in the mail....

So at this point I think I'm good... It'll go out tomorrow...

Did you clean the keyboard before resuming your work?

If not, your snacks might taste a bit "off" ........just a suggestion...........Whistling

 

 

Nope, didn't clean the keyboard - it's the mother-in-law's PC...

I can understand being henpecked by a wife but man surely there is an award for being hen pecked by a mother-in-law ???????

BTW that was post 1229 for me.
