Passing the Time while under "House Arrest"...

Lost in the 60s · President

I have plenty of yard work I've been doing in the nice weather, but with the rain/sleet/snow today, you got me thinking about a few models I have here. 1 issue is getting cement. Mine is about 30 years old and most of the hobby stores are closed now...

You can buy online and have it delivered...

Not no more... took a voluntary furlough. At least a week, probably more. There's lots of work on the books, but the customer(s) are shut down. One nice thing is my company is covering all medical benefit expenses (employer & employee) for the duration.

It was one of those impulsive ideas, and I'm still not accustomed to not being able to run off and get it.

I'm not ordering stuff to be delivered for a while. The last 4 packages came way late and one has been in limbo for 2 weeks with no scheduled delivery date. All "non essential" purchases are being held to accommodate "important" shipments. I can understand that but 2 weeks to get a shipment out of Amazon ??

John, good of your company to take care of the employees during this time. We are fortunate, the software company that Barb works for has a lot of their products in hospitals and it hasn't been crazy with problems, but when they pop up, they need to be fixed immediately. She has been working from our home office for 3 weeks now.

There is a huge Ace Hardware in New Richmond that has a little of everything and we may go there today for a few things. They sell models, so may have the glue.

Fired up the "Skunkworks" model shop. Started working on a '67 Impala SS kit. (One of the kits Bryan gifted to me awhile ago)
The goal is my 1st real diorama. The seed was Karl's "Bisquick" project. What I've got in mind is a scene of a garage with a totally re-done frame & powertrain, then a ratty-azz rusted & weathered (but solid) body w/ interior on sawhorses, with the front clip/hood sitting off to the side, waiting for their turn.
I'll get some pics up when it progresses a little further.

JD, it’s time to declassify some intell photos and release them. You have something going on behind the cypher door in the dark corner of your bunker. So set your camera to macro snap some pix and post them.

Ok... Ok Chief.
Now that I've gotten permission from a superior officer to declassify (some) of the top-secret methods & procedures of the Skunkworks ... I created another thread to document the project.
