A dry fit of the cockpit and radio operator’s bulkhead.

To my fellow forum members,

Today, I was able to complete the radio operators bulkhead.  Also the adjoining ball turret section.  Here are some photos of what was done today.

By the way, the only reason I got this far is that Ezra went with his mom and dad, lol!  Of course it’s Friday night and Ezra’s parents wants to go out and see a movie.  So we will be watching him for a few hours then he goes home until Monday.

I should have two days worth of bench time in.  As for Mrs. Toshi?  She’s doing fine yet is extremely tired from thirty three days of Proton Radiation Treatment.  She naps during the afternoon and sleeps early.  That’s a good thing so that she can gain her strenth back in a couple of weeks so says the oncologist.  

Anyway, here are the photos as promised.  Thank you for everything my fellow forum members!

Toshi,

Back in the summer of 2014, about 3 months after my surgery, I began both radiation and chemo therapies. Near the end of July of that summer I was finally done with both - it seemed like I was finally free again. Great feeling.

My chemo was not that strong and I didn't lose any hair. The fact that you've shaved yours to be in sympatico with Mrs. Toshi is really telling about the kind of relationship you have with the Mrs.

I wish both of you a joyful holiday season and hope the twangs of the strings that make up the universe vibrate in favor of good fortune for you both.

As I've grown older and my hair thinned to a ridiculously few hairs in the center of my pate, I finally decided to just save the $20.00/month on haircuts and shave my head every week or two. I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore ... it's just some old guy staring at me with incomprehension . I used to have hair though. A few pictures to lighten up the mood follow .. First, on my honeymoon in San Juan (January, 1966), second, at a friends house, higher than a kite with my then girlfriend circa 1974 (the gal from the 1966 honeymoon was by then my first ex.) Third, my present decrepit state.

 

 

 

By the way, Mrs. Toshi said your first photo (circa 1966) looks like an old school movie star.  Well now, there you go.  

As for Mrs. Toshi she’s going through extreme fatigue, but is very relieved that the thirty three sessions are over.  Now we can all relax including my grandson Ezra.  He was a very good boy and every session he went to he definately was a trooper!  

We would like to extend a very great prayers for good health and prosperity in 2018.  Also have a safe and Very Merry Christmas!!!

Your friends, The Toshi’s

Hey Toshi, glad to hear Mrs. Toshi is doing better.  I am sure she will find more energy soon.

Also glad to see that you are able to get some bench time.  This looks like a monster of a project.  Looking great so far!

 

Yes, today Ezra our grandson went back home with mommy and daddy and that left Mrs. Toshi time for rest and my self free to do some chores and bench time.  I know from my last Visible B-17G built a couple years ago is that it in your own words; “This looks like a monster project”.  And it is so.  Man city fan, thank you so much for always following following my builds, it meNs a great deal to me.  Once again thank you!  

Your friend, Toshi 

Excellent work, Toshi. That looks fantastic.

Just got caught up with the thread.  What a neat project.   I am now subscribed.  Happy to hear that your wife is on the downhill side of things.  Everything else takes a back seat till our special people are feeling better.  I hope that the two of you can get back to doing what you enjoy real soon.  Best regards.
