My wife told me that  my stash  was in the  way when  she wanted  to  clean  my workplace. I wholeheartedly  agreed and I decided  to  put  them  back  in the store room where  I  keep  my four cats’ litter boxes.

I got two. The B-24 D and the B-24 J.

They have been sitting  in their box since God knows when.

What about these  two favourite  of mine.
