Funny thing about that storm. It got so dark, the street lights came on. Twenty minutes later.....gone. No rain, nothing. We finally got enough rain to wet the street. Unfortunately, a day or so ago, an over night storm knocked a tree down at a summer camp up in Indiana. Killed a young girl. Sad.
Our adventure with Ella will go in the books tomorrow night. Daughter arrives back in town around 11:30 PM. Miss Ella was up at 6am this morning. I am in the basement.
B-29? What B-29....I'll get it in some sort of shape. Most of the bad mood is due to being out of arthritis meds, so I hurt a lot. Duke, it has been hot and humid here, but nothing like what you guys are experiencing. Mid-90s or so has been the hottest. Better get on their schedule for repairs! I fell last year and had some deep muscle bruising in my buttocks, as Forrest would say, and I can sympathize. That stuff hurts! Get better.

Re: B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
Thanks guys! I didn't want to steal your Thread here Lyle, but I wanted you to know all is not as bad as it seems. I do appreciate all the words of support. Now let's get back to this B-29, it was looking real good before the Big Fall. You can do this Lyle.

Duke, never worry about letting us know what is going on! We are friends, first and foremost. When all is said and done, this is still a hobby for 98% of us. Now, as for the B-29 - still no mojo. Got the arthritis med refilled and the hurting is going away. Today is the big day as our daughter returns (on her way about 6.3 hours in on a 14+ hour flight). She will get in tonight, late.

OK Lyle. Where are we with this one? I'm sorry to hear your luck on it but hope it's on the road to recovery.

Lyle, good to hear you got your medication backed up! No pain is really motivating to do some modelling, or other stuff. Hope you and Duke are doing better these days!
Re: B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
I agree with the others guys - I'm sorry to hear of the problem you're both having and hope things get sorted really soon.

Sitting in time-out! Heard back from Rare-PlaneDetective - and he refunded my money. Didn't ask for that, either. Anyway, waiting for some energy to return after 17 days of a three year old, 24 hours a day. This is why babies are for young people.mustang1989 wrote:OK Lyle. Where are we with this one?
