My job used to take me away a fair bit, but I'd often take a bit of a kit I was working on away with me...had a few strange looks from people when sitting in the truck cab building a boat...
Then came forced retirement due to health problems...now I have all the time in the world to build boats, but my health limits the time I can actually do it.
But, there's others out there far worse than me who have had to quit the modelling scene completely, so I count my blessings that I can still do a bit, and appreciate everything that people do for me.
As for the picture from Brian56...I needed a large scotch to settle the old ticker down after seeing that!
