From the final Franklin Ohio Plastic Model Swap Meet (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1045465047247107) yesterday. The Pyro kit was from a toy/collectible store. Complete inside (and lovely grape color)....minor yellowing of the box.

I like the odd, unusual kits. Didn't really expect to find this on courtesy of Atomic City! Only things I know missing is the directions.

Nothing @ Ollie's in Dayton OH Same old planes and ships @ Forest Park OH

Over two months late but finally got the fountain grass cut down today. Every weekend it's either been raining or too cold to do it. I think all the neighbors had the same thought as the curb line is lined with stuff folks cut down this weekend.

https://www.facebook.com/AtomicCityModelCars/ Stopped in after the kick off of a local Cars & Coffee. They have the front and back bumpers (unchromed). I think it they were $10 for both. If you can live with vacuum formed glass, they have front and rear glass for $7/each. They will ship

Looking the video of the DAAM show in Detroit last weekend on YouTube, one vendor looked like he blew out Hobby Lobby and Ollie's.

My employer mailed out about 50 checks on February 25th. As of today, 40% of them have not been received and will likely need reissued.

After achieving setting a new high score on the A1C test two weeks ago, I've made diet modifications (mostly checking carbs) a long with an Rx. Never a big sweets eater even as a kid (being allergic to chocolate took care of that!). Wife tested my blood sugar yesterday......149 down from 273 two weeks ago. Doing a call with the diabetic dietician in ten days so I'll know what other foods I'm about to lose from my life. (The spicy noodle bowls from Sam's was a hard cut).

$10 @ local toy/collectible store

Auction win. Bought it for the box, but complete/sealed inside so may leave it as is...

The shelters around here are a three day hold period and then they are available for adoption. My parents caught a BIchon running loose and called the shelter. They said if he isn't redeemed they wanted to adopt. No one showed up and they adopted him.

The flyer/discount coupon for the Dayton Ohio Toy Show on February 16th arrived today (March 1st). It's postmarked January 28th from Columbus, Ohio. I live in the Cincinnati area!

Dr's office wouldn't renew my Rx for blood pressure meds until they drew labs. Previous two times, I didn't fast so they couldn't draw blood then. Second time, I got blasted by the Dr for not fasting but I told her to go address that with {name redacted} at the front desk as I asked her if I needed to and she told me I did not. Sucked it up and had blood drawn but I get a call the next day asking me to come into the office. Last time I was checked, my A1C was high but I never went on line to see how high as I was told marginally high. This time, I set a new high score. Like golf, high score is not a good thing! Hey, at least it was still in single digits. Met with a different Dr...probably young enough to be my kid. "When you saw that number, what did you think?" Seriously?? That's like having a State Trooper at your window knowing you lit up his radar.....what do you want me to say other than I'm screwed? Wife (a nurse) went with me to the Dr appointment so THAT was a fun ride home. She wants me to toss the Doritos, Nutter Butter cookies and all my less than healthy foods. I refused but I told her I won't replenish them once gone. Monday I get a call from a dietectic consultant that I expressed interest in a meeting. 1) Um no I didn't and 2) the lady was likely the captain of the cheer squad in college!!! If I wasn't diabetic now, five minutes talking to her I may be now. Great you enjoy your job but ratchet down the "Yeah TEAM!!" personality!!!! Zero credit for losing 15 pounds since the last Dr visit! Started on Metformin to bring the A1C number down. The diet changes are gonna be a struggle.

I believe the smaller cards are for Europe. There are collectors in the US that collect only the shorter cards. Second release of that Mercedes is a gold car. The first release of the Eagle was maroon. (I moved away from Hot Wheels years ago as the designs were getting weird and less accurate).

Local Ollie's didn't have any of the Great Dane trailers but did have a case of the 1/16 Ford Thunderbirds.

The local Fox network channel had several hours of pre SuperBowl programs on today. 1) the local NFL team didn't even make post season (again) 2) the game is more than 48 hours away!

It moved a couple blocks West to a new location. New name for the show as one of the vendors is keeping it going. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1045465047247107

Yep...by Otaki. Built but missing a headlight....otherwise looks complete

The former Aromic City Swap Meet has been rescued by one of the vendors. First show at the new location was yesterday. Already have the Revell Bora, but they turn out nice in the right color and detailed. Couldn't pass on the Mercedez G4 either. The F150 crew cab was a nice surprise.

Time for the auto ship on dog meds, so not a new request. Watching the FedEx tracker, the meds made three depot stops (each one farther from me house) over the course of four days. Chewy said I would have it two days. Just give me the address as the starting point on the tracker, I could have made a 90 minute round trip and picked them up!

Local auction win. Had my sights on the blue Cadillac but the lot of these three was less than buying that one from eBay.

@Atomic City Rod & Custom Model Car Resource Last one on the shelf.....

Juuuussst a bit outside... Thanks for the laughs!

Hoping to deepen the connection children feel with the characters (and getting someone to pick up future episodes of Sesame Street), they are paring the core cast down to just four Muppets: Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Cookie Monster and Grover. The others — including Bert and Ernie — will still be in the show but not be the stars. Noooooo....!!!!! I'm almost 60 years old and can STILL sing Rubber Ducky!! Not well, but I know the words.....just sayin' I think I have enough backyard for Mr Snuffleupagus if he needs rehomed.
