Been there many a time. Not always the funnest experience. But way better then doing it over the phone or in person. Just look at it as a model building vacation (y)

I'm pissed...

First, weatherman called for thunderstorms all day today. He couldn't have been more wrong, sunny, breezy temps in the low 70s and no humidity. Why Pissed? I thought bad weather I could hunker down in the garage and get some serious bench time in. :facepalm

OK so I have to be productive. I got out in the carport to clean out the mess, old stuff, trash it's all getting hauled off. I hear something fly over, big engine, eh...not sure what it was but it was gone pretty quickly. A minute later, another large engine aircraft, going east to west. Thought it may have been the previous one circling but no, slightly different. A minute later, ANOTHER! This time I start looking, I got a lot of trees around the house so spotting A/C is not easy, I catch a glimps of something, maybe 2000-2500 feet off to the north of me heading W/SW, low wing I could tell but could not make out the shape, it had some color on it. A MINUTE LATER...ANOTHER! This time twin engine, same location, same heading, moving fast. Still could not get a good enough view of it to ID. 3 more passed, each a minute (yeah I timed it) behind each other. Same thing, I could see one had fixed gear, another a high wing, all looked to be painted up, multicolored. They were like bees around me.

Then I heard a REALLY big multiengine A/C this one off to the south of me and heading the same direction. :idonno

I came inside and fired up Flightaware and Flightview and flightradar24 and zoomed in on Greenwood, didn't see anything so I guess they didn't file a flight plan or were not squawkin'. Someone might clue me in if that's the criteria for being tracked. I've used those websites to ID non commerical A/C before.

What pisses me off, something going on around here with some old birds and I don't know about it!! :bang head.

...So I was spraying some 'home-brewed' blue on my '68 Dart for the 'Hot Rod II' campaign and had a fair amount left over, so I dragged-out my Tamiya '98 Cobra and sprayed that too...

... :bang head... D*mn !! - that was the one I was going to build for the 'Wild Mustangs' campaign. Now because of my excitement it's (pre)started and illegible for entry. But what's this living in the same storage box ??, Ooohh a Revell '65 Stepside, hey that would look good in the 'Keep on Truckin' campaign.

No wait, that isn't going ahead (yet)... :facepalm ... D*mn !!

Ahh well, the home-brewed blue looks really good. Think I'll build the stepside anyway.

Just relaxing after a long week of seemingly non-stop activity. Saturday was my club's Orangecon, Sunday was my church's Fiesta. On Monday I helped frame and erect six walls at a Habitat4Humanity home build. Tuesday I was doing some minor demoing at a Knights of Columbus Hall and yesterday was spent trying to re-organize things and set up my aquarium for the eight goldfish I won at the church fiesta. I'm going to spend the rest of the day working on some models and preparing for the Hobby Day weekend that starts tomorrow.

Had an interesting day at work today, started a new project.

Got contacted a few weeks ago by a gentleman that owns a small guitar business that sells carbon fiber guitars.

He came in to the office this morning and sat down w/ me for a couple of hours, to lay out a new project for the company I work out.

The project is to make a carbon fiber guitar based of the Gretsch 1957 Duo Jet, the same guitar that George Harrison used. Really looking forward to this project.

I hope you are in bed recuperating and not still on the floor. Sending positive :zen that you get better soon.
Cool project Adam.

Well yesterday son in law and oldest son helped me bring in a new fridge and stove and take out stove. This morning I transferred all stuff from old fridge into new and then took old fridge out to deck. Now I'm hurting and havent touched any models today. Saturday son in law is supposed to help dispose of old fridge and stove.

Good drugs certainly help. Ordered the Eduardo P-47 that Sprue Brothers had up for sale, Tuesday, it arrived today.

Sorry to read this Barny, you gotta take it slow, we ain't young pups no more. :zen

...Oooohh, sounds painful Barney, hope you're OK tomorrow.

Yep, spring is definitely here in Kiwiland... around 16deg on my 'deck' this afternoon, few puffy cumulus clouds knocking around. Spent the morning prepping around the garden for Melissa's birthday party tomorrow, and this afternoon, read a couple of Osprey 'Aces' books (Israeli Mirage's & Vietnam A-4 Units), then tinkered a little with my Seahawk...

Today was a good day.

LOL! Barney, you're a scream! I'm glad to see the injury is not keeping your spirits down. Sending prayers for your continued recovery. Enjoy your new models.

Adam that new guitar project rocks! Keep us posted man!

Ian, I love days like those. I'm hoping today and tomorrow will be just as good for me. I'm opening up the hall for Hobby Day today and tomorrow; my plans are to start the Saturn V and several other models and get a lot of progress done.
