Well, for those of you who dont know. I live in the Quad Cities . Its four towns two in Iowa and two in Illinois on the Mississippi River. Spring time flooding is something we live with every year, but this year has been crazy. The river which is normally 13 to 14 feet , crested at a new record of 23.5 feet. Imagine standing and looking up at a basketball hoop and thats the surface of the water !!! Well anyway, I have been lucky enough the last three years not to get any water in my basement but with it raining 24 out of 31 days in May ( another record ) my basement has flood five times. Most recently about 12 inches. So working on models was hit and miss. To finish my two builds for this month I literally sat in ankle deep water, ha ha ! Luckily all my models are up so none got damaged but I did lose almost all of my sports memorabilia , wheaties boxes, photos, autographs. It was about 30 years worth of stuff. My jerseys are safe and my University of Illinois year books with Dick Butkus were saved. So thats why everything was late this weekend, sorry !!
