This weeks pledge is to not rip my managers testicles off and feed them to him… but my past record on keeping pledges is very poor 🙂

Last 48 hours before returning to work is a few seconds considering how bad it will be followed by ‘don’t care… shit happens’…  [I could have an extended rant about the changes made at royal mail… but the short version is that the managers increased the workload by 50% and reduced the amount of staff… all they care about is parcels… letters make no money… end of rant!]

I daren’t think what my ‘want to do’ to ‘get done’ ratio is, but it’s directly proportional to the free time I have.

The gift to wish from your wife is ‘tolerence of your hobby’.

Pledge:  Building more 1/700 scale waterline WWII ships.  Testing a new airbrush that has been on the market for awhile that has quick capability switching of paint without clean up in between colors. (maybe I’ll try my hand at a unboxing and/or review) (building conference with the cameras is the biggest chore) ?

Questions:

1) It’s the last weekend of you vacation/time off work. Next Monday its back to work. How will you spend your last 48 hours?

Answer: Hobby my a$$ off!

2) What is your “Want to do” vs “got done” ratio in regards to our hobby?

Answer: I always want to do a thousand different things but am lucky to get two to three done per week.

3) What should I wish for myself from my wife for my upcoming birthday?

Answer: A game or set of miniatures that are on your top ten list of stuff wanted but you have just put off getting for some reason. (or maybe her presenting you with your favorite birthday cake while wearing a Princess Liea metal bikini outfit)  (I ask my wife for this one every year as my birthday approaches but have yet to get). GOOD LUCK ??

Breakfast today starts with Double Espresso, dash of cream, and sprinkle of French Coco.

Two eggs sunny side up.

Bratwurst fried with sauteed mushrooms .

Hash browns dusted with smoked paprika.

All sprinkled with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

I plan to eat outside on the front porch as it is only 78° F and then continue building WWII ships.

I’m working on my next entry to finish out the Arabian Knights and I’ve found Rust-oleum rattle can paint color  Nutmeg matches GW Steel Legion Drab perfectly. A happy accident after doing some quick purchases at my local hardware box store.

@sundancer It sounds like you need more room for your room. Shelving can only do so much good.

If anything, as you don’t have more hobby space, enjoy a very fine bottle of booze-ahol with your missus. She’d enjoy the liquor with you and probably snooze snuggled with you as you both enjoy bad movies together.

@pagan8th As much as you may eant to try and introduce Rocky mountain oysters to your boss it doesn’t necessarily mean good things afterwards. Remember… Goosfraba

@templar007 Dammit… I’ll make my hike from the Rockies one day in order to eat as well as you lowlanders. I may have imported Tibetans, Koreans and the odd Middle Easterner here but it doesn’t mean the kind of sumptuous food you describe regularly.

Woot! Elrik’s Hobbies has the rights to Secret Weapon’s resin bases and is selling them. I can match my old stuff and base more things in similar fashion.

@sundancer Keep your German splosh to yourself. I’ll just drool over the sumptuous thoughts and not peruse Instagram for visually alluring food. I’ll also not go back to YouTube and learn about all the yummy Korean food I “can’t be arsed” to make as it takes so long (check out the Maangchi video regarding plum wine).
