    Secret Santa?

    I was going to this year but guess what, paypal decided to chose me for a security measures check. Great, 9+ years a a member and no problem, I start getting money coming in and I get hit with that. To top it off it wants my bank account number (closed 5 years ago, no clue to what the # it is)...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    I went back on the 31st, got the stitches out (one bled a little) but got a clean bill. No more visits o the surgeon for this but I will have some ugly scars and a long time till I'm back to "normal." I till have to see an urologist about a lesion but that should be one or two trips I hope. Next...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Feeling much better today, little pain in my many trouble spots and even walking without my cane! Just the stitches that look like thick black fishing line are poking my in sensitive areas. I'm trying not to overdue it though, going slow and trying to get a little flexibility back after so many...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Saw the doctor today, got the Foley removed and the small drain taken out. I'm tube free! I go back in 3 weeks so he can take out the stitches, better safe with them in longer then remove them too soon. To top it off when I got home from the hospital last week I hurt my foot, a very painful...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Thanks everyone. On Monday I had a little setback, seems my open suture opened up a lot. I went to the local ER to have them check and got shipped down to the hospital where my surgeon is (he's on vacation this week). 3 hour ambulance ride, 8 hours in the ER in Syracuse and I get put in a...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    I got back from the doctors today and only have 1 drain left in. I hope that comes out on the 10th so I can be a little more active. But I did pop a suture either on the trip down (3 hour drive) or when I was getting on the exam table. It's taped shut and I just have to keep an eye on it. In the...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Quick update: Doing fine overall, very little pain and things seem to be healing well. Biggest problem is parts of the incisions are a bit tender due to their location an the fact it's been so darned hot lately. Kind of like when you sweat on a new scratch but in the unmentionables region. I...

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Kept me a little longer than I thought but I'm out and doing fine. I have 2 JP drains (grenades) for 2 weeks and 5 large incisions. Nothing was added but maybe it will just seem bigger now. I got a nice percoset prescription in case it hurts too much.

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more (surgery)

    Wednesday I finally go back in for what I hope is the last of my reconstructive surgery. I was supposed to go 2 months ago but my blood pressure wasn't cooperating. New medications have gotten it down where it's safe to get this all done with. It's be almost 2 years since the initial work and...

    Lunar Prospector

    It's not going to get done. Oo many setbacks in both the model and my health right now. I have most of the sub assemblies painted but a few things yet to be done. I have the base finished so I can show that!

    Lunar Prospector

    Quite a bit done today but no pictures yet. I also forgot I'll be gone almost all day Saturday to my great nephews christening. A 4 hour trip each way plus party time. I hope to get my entry in just before the deadline. I'll try for some pictures later.

    Lunar Prospector

    No I didn't forget about this and no I haven't finished yet. I'm best under pressure so I'm making the push to get it done now. I was sidelined last week by a minor sprained ankle and some wrist troubles not to mention other things that have gone wonky over the past 3 months. I was expecting a...

    Lunar Prospector

    I haven't forgotten, I just got sidetracked again. I was supposed to have more surgery on the 16th but my blood pressure was too high. The meds I'm on have already helped but I get checked again on the 4th. So today I ordered a resin casting kit, it's not easy finding a place that takes paypal...

    Lunar Prospector

    My biggest dilemma right now about it is the paint scheme. I'm not sure what color I what the truck to be. I'd like to have the front/back done in the black/yellow warning stripes but not sure the final color for the body. Nothing dark as it will be in space. I will also have few weeks I...

    Lunar Prospector

    I'll tell you the frame on this model sucks, there are dimples all over it. I know it won't be seen but I'm filling in the ugly things anyway. On to one of the modifications that make the truck into a space truck, the wheel RCT/ landing pods. I used the spare tire cover as a base for the design...
