Jon, I just came from the shop and surprised a intruder going thru my stash. I did not get a good look at his face but he left some Wisconsin cheese laying around. I thinking it was Frank, I caught him doing the same thing last year going thru my decals. I think we need to put him on the naughty list.

What are the chances of that, 3 people on one group build all sharing the same birthday.

 

How about us three share photos of anything modelling we recieve? (Hint Hint to others Big Smile [:D] lol)

Ditto Frank, I never thought I would find two other people on FSM that share the same birthday with me. I don't think I'll get anything modeling related either. Since I just bought an early birthday present for me a bass guitar.

MMSI show is tomorrow. I've been saving my allowance for weeks (yes, I am 40 years old and still get an allowance...) It's sort of an agreement between me and the wife to keep me from getting crazy buying model stuff.

Anyway, I will be hitting the vendor tables hard. When I went to the AMPS show in Richmond I walked out with over 300 dollars in kits and goodies and spent less then 90 bucks. Keeps yer fingers crossed and pray that I am yer Santa guys...Propeller [8-]

Countdown........five.......oh never mind.  The weather person spoiled everything.  They posted a winter storm watch for us.  I'm selling lotto tickets for cheap.  You have to quess how much snow we get in centimetres, inches don't count. Whistling [:-^], oh, for my friends who still do imperial, I relent inches is okay.  The winner gets a jar of good old Saskatchewan snow.  Special delivery by Scrooge himself.

When was the last time you had the AC maintained? When running properly the only time you should get condensation is on the evaporative coil, and that shouldnt freeze.

 

It is only the intellect that keeps me sane; perhaps this makes me overvalue intellect against feeling

 Your probably right! Haven't had it happen since I moved into my own home. In Military Housing ( we changed the filters monthly as they were delivered to our doorstep for free)

Still there was this pipe that came out from the ground that was insulated. They would freeze into big blocks of ice splitting the insulation. Had to turn it off an let it thaw otherwise it wouldn't cool.  Told us it was because they ran all the time.

 Figure it is our only chance for a white Christmas here.
