In Memphis, will return to San Antonio tomorrow evening. Will resume work in the 1/72nd HO229 this weekend.

My thanks for the kind sympathies offered to my Lovely Bride on the death of her father.  He's in a better place and is, perhaps, evn smiling for the first time in years.

SEMPER MOJO.

Some progress on my HO.  After bragging on the ease of construction and the fit, the nose section/engine intake module goes on badly.  Extensive sanding/filing and filling will be necessary.  Photo to follow.

ATTENTION ALL MOJO's...

...If Vance's HO is not complete by the end of this month (August) I will retreat to my bunker at White Sands and break contact from all field units until said HO has been done...I find it necessary to take such drastic measures after reports from the secret agents---I mean cats---indicate that the HO has been boxed and hidden under a bed...

Don't think it'll be a problem in Texas.  Too many heavily armed MOJOs and MOJOettes hereabouts.

You know what, I didn't ask the origin of this one.... I'm not buying from the prominent Canadian coffee & donut franchise that rhymes with Jim Borton's though. I prefer to support the over-achieving local guy. (And I know they do routinely keep Costa Rican in stock.)

In Texas, we'd call a group of rioters a "target rich environment".  Looters have their hands full, so they're easy.  Rioters usually have no training or "skills".  Likewise, easy.

Of course, I'm only joking and mean nothing by these comments. Wink
