It's good to have her back. ★ 11 Our first portable AC unit came today and I set it up and turned it on. The second one is hopefully coming soon.

Did I mention there are a lot of track links?? 😆 #HistScaleModels ★ 15 Okay, we're going to wrap up our tour of the Musée des Blindés in Saumur today! <flourish of kazoos> The rest of the pics are a combination of Cold War and current day. Enjoy! Three batches of pics: ★ 8
