Serenity Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 From Reaper Discord: Quote ReaperJon Today at 1:12 PM Note that Miniature Monday is canceled today due to a vaccination appointment. I think that makes three weeks of bad luck for this show. Other shows are scheduled to return this week, though. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on working on my cardboard ship tonight, if I have the energy. Also need to finish working on my various minis for the RCL... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 That feeling when you literally spend two days researching a wide variety of parts... Only to have Google politely notify you that exact chipset is currently having random USB disconnect issues >.< Guess I'll have to look at the other side too, and see how things are going for them, and if they even have a motherboard that can do what I am asking of such a multi-user workstation.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuldGrump Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 *Tromp, tromp, tromp* Up the stairs... That's funny, there are two boxes right in front of the door, as a FedEx truck below scoots away.... The smaller box is just a bit bigger than a one liter bottle of resin, while the other is considerably larger.... I wonder what they could be.... Huh, that's funny, I had two boxes in my hands just a few seconds ago, now both the boxes and my wife have mysteriously vanished....

Granted I was trying to summon some myself, and it came after a bit of a delay, but that was only intended for my part of the world. And I might have been doing a bit too much research into Ithaqua and Wendigo lore during a time when I had a bit of odd synchronicity going on...and greater Wendigo do tend to travel in snow storms... But I wasn't the one asking the snow to go to Texas...although this whole thing very well might be the work of the Necromancers of Canada seeking to expand South and running into the Dread Might of the Cheese Lords of Wisconsin with odd side effects... I said SNOW, not snow/ice/sleet/ the mess that we got. However, out of respect for my new neighbors, I hereby rescind my request for snow. .....'till next year. 7 hours ago, redambrosia said: Welp.

Quote Next time, tell your subconscious to get you vaccinated in Salisbury Cathedral, it's a lot roomier there :) So far its been even odds as to whether or not i get to tell my subconscious what to do. Sometimes it will listen to reason, other times it has something to say and i will have to listen!. I will say that for the most part, my subconscious has an amazing special effects budgets. Talk about full sensory immersion. I have slept through alarms because my brain talked me into believing that was a warning or an alarm in the dream and i had to deal with it in the dream world. I have also woken up and been truly upset to discover that this is the waking continuity and not the dream i was in. Like almost to tears disappointed... Quote Can confirm, @Kangaroorex make epic biscuits! Thank you! I appreciate the endorsement! Tonight brought about the end of one of my nemesis: Sea Bass I have had this in resturants before and the flavor can be stunningly magical. it can also taste like someone left a crab in acid for a week. while at the grocery store on this week i was going to get some halibut and then i noticed that the sea bass was on sale for the same price as the halibut so i thought i would give it a try. aaannnndddd SUCCESS! Managed a wonderful crisp pan sear and the actual meat was that beautiful almost crystalline texture i have been looking for. Of course, now that i have succeeded, i will probably not do it again because its too expensive, but its been an occasional fun challenge.

I'm running Rise of the Runelords for four of my group, when the other two are busy, and tonight they set about planning an attack on the main goblin base. It's a major affair, and their plan, which is so crazy it just might work, cuts out like half of the preparation I already put into it. Now I have to come up with a cunning plan to if not foil, at least disrupt their cunning plan. This is an example of MURPHY'S LAW in action.

I'm not getting rid of the red, at least not yet. I'm painting that section with chalkboard paint. It's very tedious, because you've got to let it sit for 2 hours, minimum, between coats and it needs at least 2 coats to work properly. I've got 4 coats so far, because despite sanding the wall down to being smooth the primer and first two coats picked up too much texture from the roller, so I had to hit it with sandpaper to wear it back down, then do it again before the 4th coat. It's still not as smooth as I'd like it to be, but since I don't have a power sander and am doing it by hand it's just going to have to do. Now I'm supposed to wait at least 22 more hours before trying to actually write on it... For future reference for anyone else attempting this, after sanding the surface one or two sealer coats, with sanding in between, of a neutral color surface sealant will give you a fully prepped surface, almost as good as tempered masonite to apply your chalk board paint to. >Tricks learned from learning how to do model railroad backdrop painting.

I have basically one cup of tea that starts shortly after I get up and ends shortly before I go to bed. Of course, that "one cup" will use up two to three 5 cup coffee makers full of hot water.

Green Eyed Monster Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The saga of developing a new property draws one series of steps closer to completion. Post Office has put our street address on the postal route, and I managed to get the mailbox installed streetside. Propane setup will be done on Friday except for setting the tank annd charging the system. Water system is nearly complete and the major holdup is still Nevada Energy pulling the lines from the power pole and settting the meter.
