Husband's new plaything....

...no, not another woman.

Dave's the eternal hobbyist - lately it's been flight simulators. He's been piecing together a sim, and now the man-cave has a much sought-after new addition - a pilot's seat from a 747.

Well, it goes with his GMT pretty well.

I tease him that next he's going to get some salvage wings and attach them to the sides of the house.

(Please pardon the clutter...)

Very nice - goes well with the flight simulator.

When I was a kid my aunt had a pilot's seat in her house . . . can't recall why but it was a very interesting thing for a kid.

Extremely cool! I've been thinking about building something similar, but my watch hobby takes up too much money at the moment! :)

Your aunt might have been married to a big kid, like I am.

This really illustrates how true that old saying is Lisa; "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."

He's definitely a man after my own heart.

Sounds like fun!! My dad was part of the team that developed the F111 fighter and I remember as a kid being allowed to play a simulator they had.....the quintessential "pre" video game, as it were!

Lisa you should try to do what my wife did when I was away for a few days. She clean and organize all my things
and before she shows me she says: I haven't throw away something.



That is love.

Sure is love, Jocke. But Dave gets nervous when I mess with his stuff. He likes it cluttered so I just roll my eyes and go back upstairs.

Besides, he would notice if I so much as threw away one piece of wire.

I'm just like Dave, that was the reason she do it when I was a few hundred miles away. She know I will notice if
anything will miss.
