You must use a lot of hand lotion in the future. Your skin looks very good for some old, decrepit rocket-building geezer.

Oh, wait! Perhaps the Fountain of Youth gets discovered! In that case, I may just be able to build all those kits I have in storage. :)

Of all the things you could pick on, you choose hands?? :?: :?

How about the fact that the builds visible in the rear are still at the same stage of completion as nearly 40 years earlier. Or that the X-wing fighter still isn't painted? :roll:

The hands ... well, the TV channel my wife watches all the time, it has these commercials talking about "crepey" skin. Not "creepy" skin, crepey, like crepe paper. Ironic, since I think of streamers when I see crepe paper, but I digress ...

Now, your unfinished rockets ... that kind of goes without saying! :D

I'll give you credit for at least dusting them off ...
