Brie and Mr. Beers on the table. I brought in the Amazon package inside, put it on the table and Mr. Beers promptly claimed it as HIS.

This is what I'm working with... soon to be packed up and moved to my finished basement. My son had taken over the area with his surf casting stuff, he has moved out. I need some sort of organization rack to keep it less cluttered.

I just shot some TS-101, it does cover well. Better than the white TS primer I was using.

And people crow about how great reissues are. Clapped out molds never stop AMT from spitting them out. I just got a '50 Ford kit, the latest issue. I also have an older partial-kit issue that is night and day for fit and the amount of flash the new one has. But I'm working through it.

I got my chain, I have to unwrap it and see if it will work. Pictures to follow

I'm going to look around more next year when I have more time. I was paying $168 a month. Started in 2020 at $69/month. This "new" plan, in my zip code, offers 2 plans at $35 and $90/month. For the more expensive plan, tier 1-3 drugs are free, tier 4-5 are $650 for a 3 month supply. I use 2 of these, no generics are available. This past July I hit my limit, everything from there on was "free".

I got as far as completing the engine on one and getting the basic chassis painted. I've talked with Ben Williams at shows, he's the master on these.

30 F and clear. Last night it dropped to 24. Lawn service and gutters are done. Outside faucets are off.

I took a robotics course complete with a 5 hour hands-on lab one day a week. The 3 laws is one of the first things we learned. We did get a teaching-robot to mix drinks like a bartender, not with real booze ...

Digging the headers.

I got back into the hobby in 1995, pre internet, so I had zero resources. The only paints available were Testors (no extra charge for the floor sweeping contents added...) and hardware store paints. Past experiences with car paints made me gun shy. I knew nothing about primer. I still show those at club meetings. They are pretty crude to say the least.

They are closing and blowing them out. I've seen some at shows for the same price. I have 4 of them I paid close to $50 for, but the FOMO is tempting to buy MORE!

Same by me, the past 2 days were a washout. 30 F this morning, the gutter cleaning crew will be here today. The landscapers should be here as well, to do the fall clean up. Then I can shut off my outside water.

Monday I get a letter from my Medicare prescription provider, they are dropping me for 2026. Open enrollment ends on 12/7, glad they didn't wait until the last minute to notify me. They gave a number to call and apparently Cigna is rolled over to Health Spring. I finally gave up waiting on hold/being run around and found their web site. Which wasn't easy. The initial Google search took me everywhere but where I needed to be. Anyway, I applied and am waiting for approval.

Holy Amityville Horror...
