Ouch!

Apparently they will self fly now after the pilot ejects. So should I build mine in-flight minus canopy and seat/Pilot? https://www.counton2.com/news/pilot-ejected-from-f-35-plane-in-north-charleston/

Turn in your man card.

Thanks everyone. Woke up this morning feeling much better already. Like the PA at the Urgent Care said yesterday, I’m on the back end of this so it’s just going to get better each day. But of course the wife is where I was at two days ago. This is her second round of covid.

Thanks Hubert. We bought the basic trip insurance. Airline already refunded our points and cash for the airfare. Cruise line refunded the cost of the excursions, port taxes and fees and all the little things that add up. Now I’ve got to submit another form for the actual cruise cost and the letter from the airline showing it was a cancelled flight due to weather. Edit to add: Honestly, I had no idea I had covid and would have proceeded with the cruise if the flights were not cancelled. About this time every year for the past 5 or 6 years I get the late summer/early fall sniffles from those pesky yellow flowering weeds. Golden Rod is one of them. I thought I was simply having my annual reaction.

I just got…… ……a positive Covid diagnosis. 😷 was supposed to be on a cruise. Storms canceled flights. No rental cars. I would have been patient zero that got the entire ship quarantined. Someone was telling me to not get on that ship. So here I sit in a parking lot waiting on my Rx to get filled.

Starting to lay down a few decals. I guess this is my consolation prize since I’m supposed to be on a cruise ship right now up in New England. Storms throughout the NE on Saturday cancelled all flights into NYC. Going to settle on a couple of days at the Cherokee Casino in NC starting tomorrow.

Dennis, never say never! Still have 3 1/2 months to go before the end of the year. since you compiled a list of kits bought this year, it got me thinking. Trumpeter Devastator Trumpeter F-35B Tamiya Spitfire Special Hobby Tempest off eBay Revell F-14 (pre-owned) Trumpeter TBM 1/24 Canadian Mist Beaver float plane I’m still thinking about the Revell Hurricane and the A-20. But at this point I’m on build # 6 for the year. I need to focus on pumping those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!

Great pics Ernie! That Gulfhawk is my favorite.

Evil plan, part deux a success! Now off to readjust the zones on my Ring doorbell camera. 👺

Must be nice! We had to make concessions when we moved to the lake 29 months ago. I gave up the 3 car garage and my hobby room that was 24X30. I now have a deep single car garage and my hobby area is basically under the basement stairs, about a 9X4 area, but I kind of roll out into the rest of the room with my hobby tool chest and paint rack. We can push the chest in and out of the way when company visits. I do have another wall with my display case, Gun safe, ammo cabinet and two file cabinets. I’ve got an awesome reloading bench, but it’s out in storage since I just have nowhere to set it all up. Havent been shooting in almost 2 years. I need to join the range in town.

That’s some beautiful woodworking! I got into it at my last home that had a 3 car garage where I had some room to work. If I want to do any projects now, I have to park the ‘66 Mustang out in the weather while I turn my garage into a woodworking studio. But now that I’m retired it seems that my main focus is my modeling hobby. I’ve often thought about selling off my woodworking equipment due to lack of use. Problem is, once you have it you just cannot let it go. I think I’ve used my track saw twice in two years, drill press twice, jointer and planer once. It’s hard to let go of tools that support a new skill set I’ve learned.

I’d love a 1/32 IM kit.

Going to build the Italeri A model first with the Splinter scheme. I’m thinking the B model needs to be built on a stand in a VTOL landing approach.

Undercover baby! And I even learned to manipulate the Ring doorbell camera zone so she doesn’t get notifications. Devastator is arriving Friday while she’s at work too. 😁

This is NOT a joke video, but a documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyjFu0CbXTc

Yea, ours “feels like 104” today from humidity. We leave town next week for a cruise and of course our weather is cooling down, but up in New England where we’re going is expecting a heat wave. Just walking to the mailbox takes it all out of me in that heat.

It’s HUGE!!!!

Seems somehow that all of the planets and stars have formed a perfect alignment. Or hell froze over. Not sure which, but a guy on LSP has a Fisher prop/spinner he has and is sending me. Now that will be an awesome addition that will top this build off!

And of course I couldn’t resist getting a Devastator kit. Added a few pieces of sandpaper and a paint brush to break the $100 mark by .95 cents to get free shipping. Guys, if y’all never hear from me again it’s because momma saw the two UPS deliveries coming this week on the Ring doorbell. Thankfully she works. I think I can manipulate the zones on the camera where they don’t pick up. 🤪

Latest from todays work.

Quotes are coming in just under $7000. I actually expected around $10k. It’s a 3.5 ton, 15-16 seer Heil heat pump.

Get those Devastator’s and the new F-35B now! Just ordered the F-35B this morning.

Ok, just cancelled the preorder and jumped on the Sprue Bro’s 20% off Trumpeter sale since they have it in stock. $160 shipped.
