Going at her full steam as well!  Passing the time as the paint be drying as advised by the seasoned crew here bouts!. Inspired me to clean you have!  Need to organize my stash a bit and such! May takes a bit! Much I want to do and though the mind be willing the time available seems to be fighting gainst me! So I be content to have a tot with ye!  Maybe a few!

Well Me cabins be ship shape!.....Turn to MAA!....what kinda zample be Ye?

But haves a tots first.....on meself!

 AAARGGGG! I be back mateys, and in full force. The cursed computer attackers have failed but it took 2 full days to get things right again! I wonder if the paint on the Goose be dry yet? Lost track of the days. Don't think it has been a week yet though. Better wait an be certain!

Been piddling around with the Armor side working on one of me own past vehicles. Lotsa fun an no man dare say I need to check me refs as that be me! Different experience to be true!

Need to clean up me work area! In the air it is with the XO busy painting Green mottles and me twiddling round the dark side. Odd fellows over there but friendly and helpful. Not as much fun as the crew here I must concede.

Where be the foul and flattulant Bondoman!?! Reading his comics when he should be alert on the watch! Strike fear into the ability to diversify he has by completeing some wonderful recent builds, though none to be seen here ceptin his seagull! Work on yer ship I say! The cruiser named for your inferno region!

 Nam with his SBD and the Cag and Captain busy with their own duties! The rest of ye do yer worst I'll have none of it!  Now back to work me self and beware of the dwarf!

OwwwIe! Glad to hear it's fixed for yoy Red13! Those are painful annoying ailments. In my day we would just starve a Raccoon coat our toe in bacon grease and let the critter chew it off! Yep that's how it was back in the day.

That's hilarious!

I don't get them often and can take care of them myself. Some one showed me a trick I've been using for a couple years now.

When you clip the nail (Hoping you do! LOL) In the center of the nail edge, clip out a tiny VEE shaped notch....not deep, 1/16 th inch is enough. This seems to cause the nail to grow toward the notch and into your toe! I've had NO trouble since!

Also wrongly sized shoes can cause troubles. 

Thank ye' kindly, sar. *burp* S'cuse.

Red, I feel fer ya mate! Been there meself in me younger days! After the second one on the opposite foot, I had another on t'other. I could endure the pain and let it grow out. I was not about to undergo the pain of that needle again. The tears were flowin' lemme tell ya! Glad to have you back! Rum fer ye straight away! Umm might have one fer me self whilst we're at it.

Arrrgh, matey's! Oi's be'en back! I's held captive by doctors whil'st they removed both sides of my right toenail! (ingrown, mind you!) No 'mount of root beer nigh' rum would stop the pain, so I went on unnanouced emergency sick leave. But, now I be better, and ready to shape up the undoubtedly mischeivious midshipmen's contingent! Good to be back, men! -Red

Wow! I'm staying away from the Duel thread! No further comment! 

Trexx always has great and encouraging posts! Is he joining? Great!

 Yer right Bondo That fellow was a wee bit grouchy for my taste. Sounded like he had some kid f vedeta from past issues. Will steer clear of him to be sure.

 I am sure you are more than welcome so welcome! Some of the higher authorities will be about to gives ye a proper welcome.

 The CAG be in and out with his real life duties but I and many others I am sure will keep ya from getting lost in our gabber!
