I built one of those in the Cub Scouts. Got tired of it pretty

Webelos) handbook. That didn't last too long after my mother ran over it
with the Kirby. I was listening to it at the time. She did a lot of ****
like that, too. She killed more model airplanes than Von Richtofen's.
Average life of a modelling project at my house from the time I opened
the box, was about as long as it would take her to go to the closet and
get out the vacuum cleaner.

The S-53A was too big to get into the beater bar. That's when it
finally ended.


Quite a story!

I hope your mom drove a car better than she drove the Kirby. ;-)
