When I was her age, our dads use to fix stuff like broken bike or your wooden crossbow made out of coat hanger and a piece of 2x4. Now kids are breaking electronics with touch screens and facial recognition. 

Unfortunately my intolerant father used to say, you broke it, you fix it…….no father / son connection at all…..

That's what happens when they make a face and the tablet doesn't recognize them.:lol:

Edward has broken 3 tablets so far, 2 of them were mine. Ended up getting a cheap Samsung with a ridiculously thick silicone bumper case and he's been fine since.

Nothing like a change of pace to get the old juices flowing again. Hiow about keeping a build thread going, as your Big Rig looks so good

That’s what she always had and yet she still somehow managed to go full Spider-Man on it

The edge is like a bumper so it gives when dropped. I found it on Amazon. 5 years now and no broken screen. The tablet is slow as snot these days though.

I tried to make Rice Crispy squares. It's didn't quite work out. I couldn't get the marshmallows to melt. They softened and formed a somewhat homogeneous mass but not the sticky syrupy gloop I was expecting. 

So I ended up with this:

Tastes ok, but way too marshmallow-y. 

I think the marshmallows I used were too old. So off to the grocery for new ones and another try.

Ok, I went and picked up fresh (is that a thing?) marshmallows and this time they did what they were supposed to. So, success!

So, the morale of the story: 

If at first you don't succeed, feed the evidence to the dog. :D

 

What kind of Dio base is that?:hsmack:😄

All markings are on and masked off. Tamiya lacquer black is on and has had a run over with 6000 grit so next step is to bite the bullet and get the Extreme Metal aluminium on. This is where it could all go horribly wrong....  😁
