What Pleased You Today!

I got off the phone with the GM of my school bus company and I still have the same runs that I had for the last few years. I like continuity. The madness aka a new school year starts tomorrow.

The driving game that I play on the PlayStation. It has five licenses that you must obtain in order to compete in all the races. A 'B' license, 'A', international B, international A, and a Super license. Out of the 80 tests for these licenses (16 tests for each license), I have 71 of them in silver, 2 in gold, and only 7 in bronze........ I think that's pretty good! When you get all silvers for the tests for a license, you win a car. I've won the car for 4 of the 5 licenses. The Super license is the one with the 7 bronze medals....... the other 9 tests for the Super are silver.......

Not so much a today thing, but...

As we know, Tamiya no longer sells spray paint in Canada. As that was my go-to for painting, I figured it was time to jump into airbrushing. 

So over the past week or so, I've finally set up the airbrush and started painting.

Holy crap.

It is so muc hbetter than spray cans, and uses so much less paint. The little bottle of paint from Splash Hobbies did a whole 1/24 Porsche, and barely used 1/3 of the tiny bottle.

And after masking up and hitting it with the 2k clear? And then a little polishing? Forget about it. 

Results are 1000% better. 

Should have made this jump ages ago.

Will be posting an Under Glass about this whole adventure soon.

Dare I admit it here, but I rode the school bus to the end of High School, yea, I didn't have a car and lived at the edge of town.  Our favorite bus was occasionally used, think a '56 GMC, when the "new" Fords broke down.  The driver was also retired, used for back-up.  Second fav was the early 70s GMC "short bus".  Mrs. Parks stomped on the brakes one time, and shouted down the jerks making trouble, that was actually funny and would get her in hot water today.  And the Prescott Antique Auto Club is currently restoring the first school bus that the district had, a 1947 Dodge.  So I'm giving you best of luck, from the back of the bus!

What topic is this?   Weather is over there Kurt. 😅  Got half an inch of very much needed rain.

On the subject of school bus drivers......My daughter-in-law drives a school bus and she's pretty strict with the kids. I accused her of being this guy.

I remember the bus driver we had when I was a Freshman and a Sophomore in High School. #1 we weren't a bunch of smart asses anyway. #2 He had a radio on the then popular WIND, "The windy city station" that played the top forty type of music and he had added a couple of speakers along the top of the windows inside the bus. Everyone was just sort of bobbing and weaving in their seats and we never ever had any sort of discipline problems. The old say "Music soothes the evil beast" seemed to apply.
