Good evening all! Hope all is well with everyone. Life is keeping me busy. New job, new house, new car, and the hamsterling is almost 2 years old!! Toddlers take up a LOT of time... And good godzilla does he pick up germs regularly. Hand Food and Mouth disease twice now, colds regularly... and he brought Covid home about a month and a half ago. DO NOT GET COVID, it sucks... even a mild case is miserable. Anyway, doubt I'll be on too regularly, but know I miss you all. Well, almost all... Most of you, certainly. Okay, maybe half of you. Well... Really a select few. But you know who you are, and the rest of you, well... you could be worse. 😏 COFFEE!!

Life (the hamsterling) has kept me very busy of late. On top of that I'm working on switching jobs, as my current employer is making us come back to the office, and with an unvaccinated hamsterling at home, and needing to take the subway an hour each way... well, it just doesn't feel safe or necessary. On top of the fact that I've wasted so much of my life commuting already, I just can't seem to make myself want to do it ever again. So, job hunting. Oh, and we're buying a house, so that's sucked up any remaining time I've had. But I'm going to have a dedicated space for my hobby stuff again! Hope everyone is well. COFFEE!!!!

No No n/a Cocktails. Beer, something dark and not hoppy. If that's not an option, a good whiskey. Most cocktails Currently between books. Thinking about downloading Dickens's Christmas Carol. I don't think I've ever actually read it.

I don;t. Used to at work, but haven't been to the office except for one day in the last... (20?) months. Not at sea. Hurricanes, nor'easters, derechos Me Sunset, and I've seen both from the air. Uff.... I once scheduled a big important meeting, and forgot to let half the people who needed to be there when it was. The covid test came back negative! Oh yeah... All of them. I'd miss Messenger.

Love all of it. Thankfully I don't have to spend any time indoors in a retail setting listening to the same 10 songs over and over. As for the stores, not much that I've seen, but I also don't do much shopping in those big box stores anyway. No tree, but thinking about a wreath. We'll be out of town for the holiday itself.

Yeah, got the Pfizer one on Monday evening. Tuesday was eh. Today my arm is a little sore.

Eh? Maybe? The whole cesspool of plague and disease and death isn't really attractive. On the other hand, I'd consider one of the transatlantic ones maybe. Oh good, in that case.... a tour around New York harbor, including stops at Ellis and Liberty islands.

Stargrave. I'd just like everyone to stay healthy. Nothing currently, but when I had one, it had an assortment of paints that were based upon whatever minis I had picked to work on. Plus a couple of brushes. I usually tried to do all the prep before adding it to the case. Thanks for some great questions!

It really depends on why I'm painting. If it's some grunt for the table I want plastic. Light, resilient to chipping, and I'm less likely to obsess over the tiny details. If I'm painting for Reapercon or painting up someone's PC, then I'll want something metal or resin, or maybe Bones USA.

Yes! It was cold, but worth it. Snuggling with Alice, watching Jojo play and explore, kissing my wife. Well, they'd be 2 different rooms. Wouldn't want the hobby stuff to mess up any of the gaming stuff. Spills, sprays, etc... The game room would have more art & decorations. Quasi-medieval theme. Big table that would work for wargaming or RPGs, Comfy chairs. Good sound systems in both areas, some really dynamic lighting controls. Computer set up in the hobby area. Both rooms would have extensive shelving and storage space. Actually the gaming area might have a closet rather than in room storage... Yeah.

Hasn't even hit freezing here yet....

Owning a house, with a yard. My Lucymonster Decorating for the holidays (all in storage)

Popeye's chicken and a biscuit.

Having moved earlier this year... Maybe some of my wife's Chinese condiments?

RCL, RVE, BoGW The cider I got with lunch yesterday. Down East Winter Cider. Was perfect.
