He’s the original prepper. At least it seemed that way. Extra starter, extra battery, extra gas and pretty much extra everything, wherever we went. He had a “surprise” for bad guys wherever we went too. That had to be well hidden from Mom. You’d think a guy like him would go to the doctor for preventative stuff right? Nah. Never. Lol.
Never mind Happy Birthday. Simple congrats for surviving 8 decades should serve. (Besides, after 80 years of people telling him HBD, it HAS to be getting old -- )
Lol. I looked closer at this picture. The guy behind and to the left is laughing. The Finlander looks like he’s embarrassed. Maybe a Finn joke before pinning him. I can see the redness in the black and white. Lol. He’s one of a kind for sure.
I’m going up Friday to clean his hangar. It’s amazing but a bit messy. Don’t say anything because he’d kill me if he found out. Has to be done though. Turns out hangars are for airplanes. Only!!! Lol.
I’d like to think I can kick most anything’s a$$. The hangar kicked mine. It really is amazing however.......Ima going to need a wood run, metal run, recycling run, garbage run and then and only then can I really make the place shine. His plane is an experimental built by two American heroes. One Brigadier General and Pops.
Well round two was much more successful. I think I will win with one more trip God willing. Here’s a pic of an outboard a guy loaned him in the 60’s. He thought the guy might come back for it. Lol. It’s gone now. Lol. The Finlander.
