Welcome...
...to my little corner in cyberspace, home to a collection of admittedly old-fashioned websites I've been building since 1996. Please pull up a chair and sit a spell, especially if you like model trains, as there are literally thousands of pages to explore.
- David Builds a Home presents the long, rocky saga of building my own house.
- David’s Modeling Journey details over 50 years of model railroading adventures.
- Grumpy Art is my small contribution to the world of caricatures. Please, no flaming.
- Grumpy Old Fart's Film & TV Reviews honest, to-the-point movie and TV reviews.
- The Avengers Forever is about the cult British 60s TV series, not the superheroes.
- Nightscape: A Memoir is my life in a nutshell—if anyone cares.
Today at Grump Central
Thursday, 24 September 2020
Two years ago today I was planning the electric service line, which in this view is the faint orange line on the driveway from the center foreground to the right corner of the house; some of the service line conduit is piled under the tree to the right. And there's Bobby keeping an eye on the garage. Back then I still had that crappy used car—but not for long. Strange to think I've had four cars just since moving here.
New Here?
For newcomers wondering why some of my posts are so grim, in February 2020 I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Having an ejection fraction of around 12%, I've got about a year to live, give or take. I update this page every day, so if the updates stop—unless it's a hurricane or other non-health event—you can assume the worst.
