Hi Guys!
Hope all is well with you both! I’ve been working like a madman: the leadership cadre for the cadets this year, the football team, and the soccer team came back, so I’ve got something like 90 in the barracks now: the new cadets come in on Friday, the rest of the cadets on the 29th. It’s been busy!
Night before last, I had to run Taco to the vet at 9pm: she broke a blood feather (she’s going through a molt right now, and she tends to get rowdy…just like any 2 yr old). I was covered in blood! The poor thing! She tried to get up on my shoulder for safety and that just made it worse: I looked like I had murdered somebody! After we got the blood stopped and got her settled in an incubator at the vet, I realized I had to get gas, so I stopped at a Sheetz on my way back home: I got some really strange looks!!!!! I’m glad there wasn’t a cop there! I had blood on my arms, on my face, on my glasses, and what looked like bloody finger drags on my t-shirt! She’s fine and back home now: it looks way worse than it is when it happens, and the worse part for her was having to be wrapped in a towel while she was being treated and then having to spend the night away from “daddy.” Needless to say, “daddy” didn’t sleep that night and was on the phone as soon as they opened checking on her! J
I’m digging in pretty deep into both 40K and Flames of War. The owner of my FLGS is jazzed about FoW and is going to start stocking it! I’m doing Afrika Corps and US Army. As for 40K, I’m doing my own Marine Chapter to get me back into the game (“the Warlords”…the logo is a skull wearing a crown), to be followed by Tau. I’m doing decals for all the tactical markings for the chapter, the chapter logo, vehicle logos, and throwing in Tau “warpaint” markings for the weapons and helmets. Microscale will be doing them. I had them lined up to do SST stuff, then MGP told me I couldn’t do decals on my own due to license issues. Right. Prolly because that would interfere with their “plans” (whatever those are).
Speaking of…have they made the “BIG” announcement yet? If so, was it worth the wait? If not, be prepared to be “under-whelmed.” Just my opinion, but I don’t buy their promises anymore: they totally mis-managed the game after release, and now I think they’re trying to recover lost ground. That’s what drove me away from the game that I love. It’s sad, but I’ve run a business and I can see through all the double-speak. I very much hope I’m wrong, but I’d be willing to bet money that a lot of people will be saying “so what!” after the big news. Or, if it’s been announced what is it, and how are people reacting? I moved all my SST stuff to the basement to make room for FoW and 40K in my work room.
I miss the forum!!!! Please say “hi” to everybody for me!!!! I popped in and made a post last week, but I’ve been largely staying away: after all, what could I bring to the discussion anymore?
You guys keep in touch!!!!!
Regards,
Dave (Scipio) and Taco
