Excellent! Thanks for the small slice of yourself Denv...you sound like a busy guy and that's a lot of winning the battles right there. I dig that you buy those old toys. I have a few things that I've seen that remind me of long years past and when I'm struck I'll grab something. I just bought an old cap gun with 10 rolls of vintage caps included for 8$...it's on my bookshelf with 3 cap boxes stacked sorta artfully. I've got a few things kicking around...very random 'collector'...stuff not valuable really...just means something to me.

What toys do you have? I may remember some. Were Gi Joes marketed in Australia during the 60s? Aust. was involved in Vietnam so there should not have been some weird export political thing extant. I was quite influenced as a child by Life magazine and their full colour images of SE Asia and the turmoil. The Apollo stuff too as I mentioned in yr other thread.

Great with the piano playing! You had that talent sitting in you dormant for sure. Self taught??? Not many do that do they? I'll bet not.

Stay busy Denv...fuel for livin' that is...well as long as it's 1/2 way entertaining! You seem to be coping with things in some effective ways. Have a good one D. Cheers!
