All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

Be glad yo are healthy enough to do all that. I'm still fighting this back pain; the only thing that helps me deal with it is building models!

I use to laugh when I read the label on my prescription meds "Stay out of direct sunlight". I'd think "what, am I going to turn into a vampire?" Nope. This lovely upper 90s to lower 100s heat with 90% humidity kicks my butt. I've learned to take multiple a/c and water breaks and not think I'm still in my late 20s.

:yipee

Some medicines react a lot more strongly if the person is in direct sunlight.

Quote from https://www.medicinenet.com/sun-sensitive_drugs_photosensitivity_to_drugs/article.htm

"Sun-sensitizing drugs (photosensitivity) definition and facts

Sun-sensitive or photosensitive drugs are drugs that cause a moderate to severe skin reaction that is similar to a bad sunburn when the exposed to the sun (UV rays), usually the forehead, nose, hands, arms, and lips. Many common medications cause this reaction in some people.

Usually, the allergic reaction appears within 24 hours of sun exposure and resolves when the blisters from the rash peel and slough off.

Symptoms of sun sensitivity are similar to those of a sunburn, and may include:

A stinging and burning sensation
Rash
Redness
Pain
Blisters
Inflammation and swelling
Itching"

Now that doesn't sound too nice especially if you're already suffering from something.

Cheers

Tried removing the sponson for the 6-pounder gun and machine gun from my 1/35 scale Emhar Mk. IV MAle tank. That's because the machine gun and retaining ring came off and both are now somewhere inside the tank. I was unable to get the sponson off so I've decided to remove a bit of the bottom of the hull and access the interior of the sponson from there.

Cheers

Got the Astros baseball game streaming on the PC and trying to finish up the 1/48 Ford moto-tug and do some more work om my Corsair egg plane build.

Been watching Star Wars "The Clone Wars" Series and finished it while building the interior parts for the 222. Got the floors textured and they look good. The screen at the rear of the compartment is done and installed though the 2 walls beside it aren't done yet. Lots of little mounts need to be done then along with the gun and mount before putting the top half on.

Making some decent progress on it.

Oh and I cleaned up my bench a little first as it got to the point where it was all clutter and no work space.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Paul, I need to clean my workbench too as I'm currently at no workspace and all clutter. Aside from that. I have two helicopters, four vehicles, four ships, two buildings and three planes I'm working on.

I don't feel so bad after hearing that. I cleaned the floor and bench last week, but no further. Got back from the USS ESSEX reunion a couple weeks ago, now getting ready to go to the USS Yorktown reunion. Maybe I'll get back in the groove when I'm home again.

You going to Charleston? Enjoy!

 

[Duke Maddog]

Have fun at those reunions. I'd love to go and be a fly on the wall someday.

Looking good. I got delayed with the Wellington paint masks. The wife had to be admitted to the hospital last Wednesday with ketoacidosis, ended up in the ICU. She got out yesterday.

 

[moon puppy]

Woo! Glad she's out Kenny, thoughts and prayers! :zen

 

[Gator]

Thanks Bob.

 

[Heavens Eagle]

That is a rough problem to be going through Kenny. Glad she is doing better!

Hey Kenny no hurry, take care of yourself and family first. I'm glad to hear she is at least well enough to make it back home, we're rooting for you all

Besides at the rate I'm putting this thing together there ain't no hurry....... :zen

Yeah, she was cursing her endocrinologist while we were in the ER for putting her on the diet. It seems that the diabetic medicine she is on also lowers her carbs so the addition of the diet gave her the "keto flu". It was funny to see her get fussed at by one of the nurse practitioners. Renee works for the ER doctor staffing company as the records coordinator. That means she goes over every ER chart to make sure the doctors and NPs filled out the charts correctly. She compares it to being the house mom at the fraternity house. So she chews on them often.
