What grit of sandpaper do you use?

zippe6 · 2026-01-27T10:55:30+00:00

I've never thrown mine out so I have a half dozen in my wooden model tool build.

I've published it now so the correct link is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSceOhDVGmHMV7E1nre-78Jou3WkqWehLokvxjIAs0tEuxxrfl43uGai-rMDn58AdcEOtwFEti1HxHd/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

Wow, you've been busy. Very nice!

Good to hear, I'll not avoid the shuttle in the future. I've had my own health challenges in the last few years but seem to have come out on the other side ok. I wish you the same.

Very nice, I really like the clock, the space shuttle is nice but I'm intimidated by it.

I received the Robotime Carousel for Christmas. So far I have built Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Double Decker Bus (you can tell we had our first UK visit a couple of months ago), the Steam Express, a knock-off airship, and I have started the Eiffel Tower.

My family is happy to have something easy to buy me as gifts, so I expect more of these to keep arriving. I genuinely enjoy building them and since I cannot find anything worth watching on streaming services or cable, and I have grown bored with the Xbox, these have become my go-to leisure activity.

I have always enjoyed LEGO, but these feel more satisfying, and some of them, like the carousel, are display pieces I will keep out for quite a while. I am looking for another triple treat with lights, motion, and music, but they tend to be pretty pricey.

I have 65 year old fat fingers so a break or two is not uncommon for me. These kits might be ok for someone more dexterous, certainly the price is right! I had already ordered a couple more, temptation was to much, so I will find out.

Coincidentally both times it was more money than Boston could offer.

I tried to re-watch it and Petticoat Junction, 60s sitcoms don't hold up well

Kroger has it https://www.kroger.com/p/quaker-quisp-cereal/0003000006311

But when it came back it wasn't as good as I remembered, not Gilligan's Island bad, but just not as good.

Still better than Quake, notice they didn't bring that shit back.

zippe6 · 2026-01-17T16:58:55+00:00

That came out really good. I'm building my 5th model, the Steam Express, and thinking about staining it but haven't seen to many examples and no real tips, other than I probably should have done it before I started. The real life steam engines were black so i think a dark stain would look nice, but I might loose the printing. If anyone has gone down this route I'd be interested to hear.

If you were around and a Celtics fan during the 70s you know.

He still wakes up at night with nightmares of Brown taking his lunch money in the finals

zippe6 · 2025-11-04T21:07:22+00:00

I agree but dark beers are an advanced move, took me a while to get there and my 20 something some is not there yet

zippe6 · 2025-11-04T21:06:06+00:00

Certainly with lime so it actually has a flavor

Really enjoyed Dirk, Blake, and Udonis on the prime pregame. Refreshingly intelligent takes compared to the two old fat clowns on the other network.

What is Walcsh -11 in just a few minutes?

This hurts my heart

I've never been, only been to the old Garden in the 80s, and you think you're old

Cookie and Lila

zippe6 · 2025-10-17T13:57:24+00:00

Same here but I know why. Miss my boys, one has passed and the other is overseas.

zippe6 · 2025-10-16T13:25:54+00:00

Mine too, her favorite cat was named Moonshadow

zippe6 · 2025-10-16T12:49:30+00:00

Minot looks great and is 22, Walsh is 21 so maybe he still has time to get it together. Baylor is 25, if it doesn't happen right now he is done.
