In the beginning there was a very big box. Then there were hundreds of little packages filled with screws, pop rivets, bolts, nuts, washers, wire, you get the idea. Even some recognizable aircraft parts. Fuselage, seats, wheel pants, tires and tubes. Then a big stack of aluminum plates, panels, strips, tubes and, so on. I also found this funny looking pair of pliers, a drill bit, and a reamer. My concern is, for what and, where is the reamer to be used? Oh, Oh.

Inventory is going well. Most of the house is stacked with airplane parts and packages of hardware. House does not look much like Christmas. Parts bags and boxes are scattered in neat stacks all over the house. Garage is still to cold. Working on that though.

This will be one of my very best Christmas' ever. Since I received that Lionel Train about fourty, aaahhhh, fifty, maybe fifty five years ago. After all, my very own plane is the only thing I have ever wanted for Christmas. Even if it is in about 10,000 pieces.

Merry Christmas and, a Happy, Safe, New Year.
