Can you believe it?  5 and a half hours and this GB is at the bottom of the page!  Gents, this will not do! It is the weekend, and the rum be plentiful!  Toasting Nam and his weekend build, and geting ready to watch the CAG do his part.  I have sent the lovely Suzanne to the CAG's quarters to get him ready for his marathon build.  Not only will he be modeling against the clock, but with a hangover to boot!  Gents, raise yer mugs! That is all.

Yessir!

For a day off, I gotta admit it's been pretty busy! Aside from other things, I've had to make another run to the LHS here! Seems that in the last 12 months everything had been in storage, some of my paint stashes has either dried up, leaked or came up missing. After having dropped $40 worth of paint, production on the Super Hornet has begun!I'll make sure to post a picture or two be weekends out.

Say, CAG? May I get an add on the crew manifest, Sir?

 I'm with ya Sean. the amount of work needed to get it fixed is unreal and this thing had all the roads blocked except for a network link which allowed me access to stop and get rid of the stupid worm/ hijacker. Nasty little devil somebody has a sick mind to come up with those things. She was really lucky to avoid a total drive loss of data.

 Where is that Nam at?  I won't pick on him for a good 3 days if he would just come home to us?  I'm sorry Nam!  ( Musta been all the kilt talk........)

Knock out this Half track then on to the first PBY! A 109 or 2 then the Ventura, Kinda hoping Frank jumps on the Ventura with me it is a loo loo!

You guys shoulda seen my computer burning ! Nasty small of an electrical fire. I took Bondo's advice and threw lotsa water on it before unplugging it. He is a wild man that Bondo!

You Should Have known better then that, Have you not ever heard the term "If it sounds to good to be True ......."

Seriously I despise Malicious Intent to Destroy Others Property. Virus creators should be Keelhauled

Ya know, I woulda thought that the shelf life for MM Enamels woulda been longer. I'd broken into what I needed in order to start the cockpit on the Bug. Come to find out, everything that I needed was dried up! I was at the LHS here yesterdy. Had I known that, I woulda replaced them. So, it looks like I'm headed back there today

   I did pick up a few things yesterday. I saw on someone elses previous build how they used the sludge wash in the landing gear wells, and I'm going to try that out for the first time with this thing. But there was something else that really caught my eye. I picked up a couple packages of microbrushes. Has anyone else ever used these things? They looked just the perfect thing to detail a cockpit as well as other fine details. I just never knew about them before.

Sorry to be tardy Dave!!!!! Congrats on everything! I enjoy a bit of good news especially when it is happy stuff here that brings on the women and wine to celebrate!

Apparently the girl was so hot she set the power supply Dee found for me on fire right when i WAS ABOUT TO HIT ENTER ON A POST FROR THE dor  gb So as you caqn tell nI am tiny typing again Oh well whats a small fire betweeb friends! Congrats again!!!

So THAT'S where I left her!

Congratulations Dave!  That is some very good news indeed.

Well, folks, I posted this in the weekend Gb too but I'll post again over here.  I finally signed a contract with my employer today that included a 6.25% raise and a very hefty signing bonus.  There is a long story behind this that has caused a great deal of stress over the past few months but I won't go into details here.  Let's just say that I feel very fortunate that I still have job (for now). 

Okay, I know it's only Thursday but that's never stopped anyone in here before.  Time to celebrate, I'm buying!!!

Where's the brunette capt'n morgan lass?

My goodness? What is so funny about all those people dead? Not to mention the F-18's destroyed. Roger go build one!

Now those boots and a kilt? That's funny!

Sean...are you a member of the KISS fan club?  Those look like Gene Simmons boots.

By the way, they forcast wind tonight and all day Friday with gust up 60 mph.  You had to ask didn't you

What the heck kind shoes do you wear with that thing?

Found 'em for you Aaron

Sure looks cold out there! Gotta love the sunny Southwest!

   By the grace of God here, I've got a 3 day weekend! (scheduling sure is a funny thing) and my plans are free and wide open! Now that I've gotten my feet wet again with the Weekend GB and the Knights of the Sky GB, I'm ready to focus my attention to something a little more familiar!

Bring on the Super Bug!

 Well here I was expecting to be freezing today. Most I think we got was 60 F and some drizzle. It is overcast and gloomy today though. Dec 4th took some pics of our bitter winter. The red poker bloom is an Alovera plant. Who knew they bloomed?

The leaves are changing colors and it is finally cool enough for the marigolds to sprout up from seeds. Sunflowers as well. Went out the door and killed a mosquito that targeted me. Don't see the frogs or lizards today though.  The Neighbor put up his hammock as it is cool enough to enjoy some outdoor time finally!

Still in short sleeves no jackets required... What a disappointment!  Doesn't look like much chance of a white Christmas!

Dave, I never lived in a place that had snow until 1975, spent most of my time in Florida as a child.  Now I prefer the four seasons; spring, summer, fall and winter.

Again, where's Frank with that snow blower

Well I have the day off, it's 6 degrees outside with more snow forcasted.  I will be working on my Weekend GB, gray bottom in the AM, shovel the drive way (where's Frank and that snow blower ) OD top in the PM.
