Good Morning Shipwrights. It's Monday, March 31, 2008.

Today’s wrap-up will be a short one. I hit the ground running and haven’t stopped yet. I’m leaving the reminders for the Naval Trivia and the Word of the Day. That’s all for now. Back to work for me.

In case you haven’t seen this, Jim Adams (goldenpony) has been sharing Navy lingo with his “Word of the Day” thread. This is a great and more times than not humorous look at the language of the US Navy.

We changed time 3 weeks ago. I got the tracks on and the primary color on my halftrack. Need to do a final section asembly add all the tools and little bitties. weather and decal, and I can put another one down as complete. Right now I am behind. I have bought 4 models this year and have another on pre-order and this will only be #3 completed. Need to get cracking. I have so many models to build and only 1 lifetime to do it in.

Ahoy Kenny

Life got in the way again over the weekend.

Primary focus is getting my home pc sorted out asap.

Cheers

Well lets see.
Got a little work done on a new German halftrack.
nothing ship related.

Got myself another new toy Thursday so I’ve been playing with it.

Haven’t even hurt myself yet with it.

As quoted above, life/work got in the way, probably wont be able to build anything or be very active in here until May. Good news is that wife is motoring on a wheelchair, will have surgery in 2 weeks. I have only burnt one dinner (the oversalted pasta did not count) and messed up only 2 laundry loads. Baseball season started, go NY MEts! Cheers all

Forgive me for a late post.

I watched UNC roll into the Final 4!!!

More work on the never ending Chicken pen. Those darn birds are a ton of work, but fresh eggs rock!

I did get the paint removed from my German destroyer. Now, back to the paint booth for her.

I did manage to get some bench time Sunday. I made some good progress on my 1/700 HMS Invincible for IPMS review. My birthday present arrived this week, Trumpeter's 1/350 Alabama. Yes!

I also managed to bugger up my knee Monday. I've got an MRI scheduled for tomorrow. I'll be interested to know what happened.

later...Gator
