Working on my truck has never been fun for me. What should take 20 minutes to do ended up being over an hour, and that was to change the battery. With me was my little partner, my six-gallon wet/dry shop vac. It was having problems; unplugging from the wall and plugging up its hose, so…

T-65B X-wing Starfighter was easy to fly. Much of it depends on your thoughts and a bit of hand-eye coordination.

While we are growing used to his mumbling, fumbling, and stumbling because of his dementia, it still pays to listen and remember what he says. More times than…
