As I went to a convenience store a couple of hours ago to send a package of MH dolls to my friend, I found low-molt beer or sparkling liquor from the line of Stones Bar and grabbed one happily, yeah!!!!!!

All the CMs are totally hideous, honestly Japanese terrestrial TV programs are completely crap that I've been fed up, now my TV is used only for video games.
Stones Bar is okay, though. I'll have to try all, I waaaaaaaant to go to Hard Rock Cafe!!! So I grabbed my boxed HRC Barbie #1 from shelf to shoot them together. I know there've been some serial ones of HRC Barbie but I looooove the first one the best ever!! I had to buy 2 boxes to open one even though it was never cheap for me (I remembered it was out when weaker yen, so it cost about 13,000 JPY or so for each?).
Also I remembered when I'd been to Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas many years ago, I'll have to stay in Luxor with my Cleo (and Deuce, of course) next time if I'll be there again someday. xDDD
Tomorrow (or today, it's after 4 a.m. here now) I'll bring my Cleos to the gallery I've been familiar with, to ask an artist to custom-make a certain stuff for her, I'll have to finish everything till the summer is gone. I have to do a lot, including the preparation for the next joint exhibition of Showa de Show that will be held in multi-venue!! That'll be exciting, though. I cannot wait for a couple of Bratz dolls on the way to me either!!!

This Gillmoss-based MAN 18.240/Alexander Dennis Enviro300 is photographed here on Warbreck Moor in Aintree. The bus is starting a 922 journey, which finishes at Liverpool Lime Street Railway Station. This bus sports Stagecoach Merseyside and South Lancashire's standard livery. On top of that sits "14" ("City Centre - Breck Road - Broadway - Croxteth") branding, for that service.

This past August (2016), I was offered a truck that I had no idea existed or the owner would ever part with. The truck, of course, was Dave Glasman's prized, hand-built tow truck.
The truck started its life in 1947, when it was purchased by Landon Transportation (then Landon Cartage) of Kenosha, Wisconsin, as a semi-tractor with a 100hp Flathead V8, vacuum-assist brakes, and a two-speed rear end.
Then, around 1960, the truck was purchased from Landon Trans. by a local farmer by the name of Bob Horton. Mr. Horton had acquired the contract to convert R.I. Bong Air Force Base (Now Richard Bong State Park) to wildland by spreading woodchips across the base. Mr. Horton purchased two other similar trucks from Landon Trans. for this purpose.
When the contract had been completed around 1962-1963, Mr. Horton put the trucks for sale, one of which was purchased by David Glasman. Mr. Glasman owned and operated, with his father, Woodworth Garage, located in Bristol, Wisconsin. The Glasmans already owned a tow truck, but they wanted something bigger and nicer. Mr. Glasman spent his free time building the truck to be as it is today. He removed the original Flathead and four-speed transmission and replaced them with a 1956 Mercury 312 Y-Block engine, coupled to a 5-speed truck transmission. He removed the 5th-wheel for hauling trailers and built the truck bed from scratch, using whatever metal he could find.
Mr. Glasman completed the truck in 1970, immediately putting it on the road and putting it to work. Mr. Glasman towed heavily with it through the 1970s and early 1980s, but by the mid 1980s he had purchased newer, nicer trucks. His final tows were in the late 1980's, when it became his parade vehicle. When his plates expired for the truck in 1993, he parked the truck inside a semi trailer, where it sat until Labor day 2016 (September 5th) when I pulled it out to see its first daylight in over two decades.
The truck faired decently inside, however rust had taken its toll in a few places. The entire right side of the tow body has since been replaced, along with both running boards. The truck also required a new driveshaft and center bearing to be installed, along with a new heater core. While in storage, a raccoon got into the cab and tore the seat up, but that is only a minor problem, as replacement seat covers are readily available for the truck.
That all being said, I wanted to step away from building trains for a short while and take a crack at building the truck. I knew that I wanted to be able to drive the truck with Power Functions and an IR receiver, and that I wanted the winch to operate.
Using the scaler, I found the truck to be 1:14 scale. The truck features independent front suspension, along with steering provided by a servo motor, and a two-speed rear end. The lever on the left side of the tow body controls which driveline is engaged (PTO or wheels), while the right lever controls the rear end. While the cab doors do not open, the side compartment doors do.
Totaling in a 1,558 pieces, all pieces used exist in the color I have chosen (with the exclusion of the rims, but those look okay being light gray in color). Time to assemble the parts list!
I finally started a project I've been carrying around in my head for a good while - shooting iconic video game characters. My good friend Lauren made an awesome Lara and make-up artist Nadia came along with us to St Andrews Cathedral, which was the perfect location for our shoot. We all had such a great time and I'm so pleased with the results. We even stopped halfway to rough Lara up a bit with some fake bruises and dirt :)
After all the night clubbing in Osaka (not much else to do to celebrate my birthday after midnight), we went back around 8.....reaching Flavio's place which is not exactly downtown. While we were looking forward to ending the day, we met people starting it. And, why on sunday these kids wore a school uniform.....I dare not know.
As the Mystic energy roams this room of Chinese relics, guests will start feeling gusts of wind and see the the Chinese paintings in the background come to life as though the characters in the paintings are being blown by the wind

I keep all my CY365 class notes, prompt lists in a notebook. The first binder is filled with 3 years of valuable information and I had to start a new binder, its going to fill fast with the new prompt Ebook. CC Welcome
This was not an easy job at all and John Horner had used long coach bolts to bolt down the canopy and fix the wings to the frame with many Rivets too, the bolts underneath were in a narrow section underneath making grinding very difficult but im sure it will be worth it when done and these wing tops are very rusty indeed now.

I started these russian dolls a little over four years ago while we were living a little cabin in the woods and never got to finish them. I dug them out of a box yesterday and decided to do something new altogether. But first they new a new coat of white acrylic paint.
I just love African Violets! When I break a leaf off accidentally I have to see if it will start another plant. I'm compelled to do it!
