Acid reflux disease passed me by.

Electronic girlfriends I think are kinda creepy, frankly, but robot babes might be a whole 'nother story (as long as they come with service manuals).

Kinda depends on what the bear's been eatin'.

The rain that wasn't supposed to be here until early tomorrow stopped for a while while I went to get more tarps for the roof, but no sooner was I back up there, it started again. S'okay though, 'cause the battery in the screwgun went dead just as I got the corners staked on the last one, so while it was charging I cleaned the gutter in the imaginary rain. Soooooo...I'm pretty well soaked with liquid sunshine, fixin' to get back up there in a few as soon as the current downpour eases up and the battery is charged. Gots to nail down the edges of the tarps before the wall of rain that's coming on radar but wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow morning gets here. Kinda miffed, 'cause everything up there was pretty dry, and I'd intended to do a very thorough job of tarping TODAY to get me through the winter. No dice. Fun day.

Just think of it as cultural enrichment, and learn to like it.

Chance encounters, I eventually learned, aren't usually a strong basis for developing long term committed and exclusive relationships.

Wine consumed by the box daily might be a red flag when observed while choosing a potential mate.

Child, Julia, was the TV French Chef who always seemed to be very happily sampling the meal's wine as she cooked.

I'm older than you, and I do the occasional diecast upgrade as well... AND...due to a forum glitch, many of the early photos disappeared when I edited the text back when we were still allowed to do that, but this is the old Monogram diecast-bodied Jag XK-120. It was kindof a bummer when all the pix went missing, 'cause there was some nice metalwork on this thing, and after the magic disappearing, I never felt like going back and finding all the photos and replacing them...which is impossible now. When I relight the project, I'll just start over and have the mods delete the existing thread.

Has anyone under 60?

NWS online forecast said 0% chance of rain today, 40% chance of rain tomorrow morning after 2 AM. Great. I looked at the radar too, and it seemed to be sliding off to the northwest, looked for sure like it would miss me entirely today. So I'm up on the roof re-tarping it when the rain starts hammering me. Climbed down, checked the radar again, there's a popup thunderstorm almost directly over me, no other precip in any direction for miles. So y'all can predict with certainty what the weather will be like in 10 to 20 years, but you can't tell me at 9 AM what the weather will be at noon the same day? Man, I NEED that job. EDIT: And now that it's actually raining, the forecast has been updated to 10%.

Sorry, I don't know. Something that was in a random body parts box.

Rain coming tonight, so I have to re-tarp some of my roof. What used to be a piece of cake 10 years back is now kinda scary, much as I hate to admit it, and my excessive caution is really dragging the job out. Ach well. Somebody's got to do it. EDIT: And now it's raining, when the forecast said zero chance of rain until 2AM tomorrow.

After going back and reading the entire thread, I realized I'm guilty here of what frustrates me about other guys' responses sometimes, i.e. not reading every post thoroughly prior to making a comment or criticism or asking a question about something that was already covered. I see that you did in fact provide sufficient info for any reasonably competent modeler to be able to go from there. I don't like to be the dumb guy, but when I am, I try to admit it.

A good piece of advice I just came across today regarding manufacturing and service industries: "connect the top floor to the shop floor".

"Consider the source"

Love wisely, but not too well.

"Ejected matter" can describe anything from volcanic ash to stuff from the sun's corona to vomit.

Grue up ta be a biggun, din he?

I have no idea what happened there. But sadly, after I'd pulled the molds for the body parts from that beautiful resin repop, I inadvertently stored it with a little pressure on the roof. Took it out a few weeks back, as I was thinking about getting this model and the stock resin shell ready to take to the upcoming ACME event in late October, and it's hopelessly warped (the resin repop). Since then I've acquired a perfect styrene shell, and it's very carefully stored indeed...but I'm kinda out of time for the ACME show.

Bumping this one. It's very early in the thread, and the links to the build no longer open just by clicking them.

It's all about Gandalf. I just knew it.

Sorry to hear it. Always tough to lose a long time friend.
