On my way to work this morning I hit a slick spot on the highway, slid into the ditch and rolled my pickup. Considering it rolled twice it held up remarkably well. I am fine. I was taken to the hospital as a precaution and went through a lot of scans. No major injuries, just very sore.

My wife had me clean knickknacks off a shelf to display my models. She has been super supportive of my return to this hobby. She actually wants to get a curio cabinet for me to fill up.
