“If all else fails,
I will retreat up the valley of Virginia
to plant my flag on the Blue Ridge,
and rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region,
and make my last stand for liberty
amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny
whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger.”

Mine are all sitting in a box at the end of my desk.
Even got a lead sharpener and a half box of Pink Pearls in there....
(Funniest thing is going to be listening to the whining when some of 'em have to work with those old vellums or have to actually work through some stress analysis by writing numbers on a piece of paper....after they find The Book and the proper equations.)
That is the card of a kid that wants gramps to buy him a really REALLY good Christmas present ;-) LOL
No time for that, # 43 coming up on Thurs.

I drew with ink on mylar until CAD software and plotters dropped to where I could afford them. I did have a rather marvelous track-drafting machine to speed things along. Not sure they make those any more.
