Mr Chiots and I LOVE BLT's. Not your traditional BLT's, but some with a little more flavor. We start with chewy crusty artisan bread (sometimes sourdough) that I toast in the skillet after smearing it with a little bacon grease. Then I add arugula and homegrown tomatoes and of course the best part is the nitrate free local smoked bacon.

Sculpt Update (IMAGES) on my 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIENS 1979. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt.

I've posted a video as well so please check that out. youtu.be/LL6moVvkzkI

I "dremeled" out a chasm to insert a separate sculpted piece of tubing that will be sculpted over to become a permanent fixture. I also carved out a portal to insert the "guard" that goes down the back of the chair, parallel to the interior tubing. Some adjustments need to be made and additional sculpting needs to be added but I'm very pleased with how it all fits.

One step closer to finishing the back of the chair!

Hope you enjoy the photos! Thanks again for all the comments and support! More updates coming!

I've given up for adoption some of my dolls now and also decided which ones I will definitely keep. These girls here are the ones I'm still on fence about, so if you want to give a good home to any of them, send me a flickrmail.

 

You can find larger photos of each doll from my character sets.

I create this blog to have the chance to tell you more about my photography world. here you'll find my work: myphotographyworld.tumblr.com/

Updates on the photoblog.

The newer modifications are not that noticeable, but I want your input on how the cab door i came up with looks on the model. I'm refining the parts by picking the best priced parts. I did try to add a bit of detail to the back of the cab interior based on the photos from the Ditcot Railway. I'm really proud of how this model has come together. I think its about time I actually build the thing. The next process I will start on, is the long grueling task of instructions so that I can put it on Rebrickable. Please leave any comments or concerns I would love to hear them.

Been a while since I've updated the wishlist properly here. Does this mean I am perfectly content? Absolute not, it just means I've been lazy and haven't been keeping very good tabs on the things that I'd like to call my own. With that said, here are the latest items to catch my eye:

 

1. Project Sylpheed (Xbox 360) - I still have a soft spot for space sims, even more so since they are few and far between. The demo of this game was fun albeit a little confusing with all the icons on screen. However a lack of multiplayer (not that anyone else would bother to pick this up anyhow) bumps this from the wishlist into the budget bin. I believe it is only going to have a $30 price tag however so one Best Buy gift card and this game is as good as mine.

 

2. Skate (Xbox 360) - I'm not sure why I am adding this one. I keep buying Tony Hawk games, playing them for 15 minutes and getting bored by the ultra-unrealistic skating within. It's been a while since Tony Hawk games have held my interest like the first few editions in the series did. They just lost sight of the most import thing, the skating. From what I've seen Skate seems to bring it all back to basics. Nothing crazy, nothing over the top just skating pure and simple. Now it's all just a matter of seeing if the control scheme works for it.

 

3. Dead Head Fred (PSP) - Been watching this one from the sidelines for quite some time now and I've finally decided to throw my 'head' into the ring. The game looks like a great original game designed for the PSP which is exactly the type of thing my PSP hungers for. Hopefully Fred doesn't dissapoint.

 

4. God of War (PSP) - I've never played a God of War game before, but I can't deny my interest in the series. Picking up the games for my unplugged PS2 just never made much sense, but a God of War game for the PSP is a match made in heaven. Going into this game without having played the others keeps the experience much more open for me as I will have no pre-conceived control schemes to compare the PSP to. Looking forward to raising hell!

 

5. Gorilla Pod SLR Zoom (Gear) - Getting away from the games and into the gear now with the Gorilla Pod SLR Zoom from Joby. I picked up a Gorilla Pod for my point and shoot and the thing is fantastic. It's an uber-tripod without actually carrying one around. The Gorilla Pod SLR zoom should make for some fantastic long exposure shots without having to balance my camera on the edge of death.

 

6. Tamrac Velocity 7x - (Gear)The Velocity 7 is my all purpose camera bag, so I nearly jumped out of my seat when I got wind of the Velocity 7x. My biggest complaint about the current bag is the clip right in the middle of the exterior pocket. It looks like they have alleviated that issue with the 7x. Looks like it may also zip completely closed which is an additional bonus.

 

7. Tamrac Adventure 7 - (Gear) I've been looking for quite some time for a SLR backpack and I believe the Adventure 7 is the way to go. I've got a Lowepro compu-trekker for long voyages with the laptop, but it's really too bulky for a day hike/trip. The adventure 7 can fit my camera plus a little more gear up top which is all it really needs to do. an exterior pocket would've been nice, but it does look like it has a bottle holder on the side which is always a huge plus for me.

 

And there you have it, some new additions to the wishlist. Can't wait for the holiday season this year!

Added cutouts for the bullets here, changed the bullet text. This was cut from some scrap paper on an Epilog CNC laser and designed in CorelDraw.

I think this is he 3rd time I've redone this bulletin board. Once was to white crackle with a black base, then to dark purple both with a medium purple fabric. Now it is a light pink with undertones of white and pale green. The fabric is a sheet. The ribbon is a pale green like the walls and the buttons are hot glued to tacks.

Tigger went to his follow up vet visit yesterday. He's been dropping more weight, and is now about 11 pounds, which is two pounds under his usual weight.

 

Dr. Shroyer seems to be a very good vet, but he's a little pricier than the last one was. (Actually, a lot.) I spend at least $150 every time I walk in, and I've been there three times in the last couple of months. This visit ran $225, and he called me today to ask if I wanted to re-do the thyroid test, since it was borderline. That's another $90. Of course, I said yes, all the while wondering how I'd have anything left to treat him with!

 

Here's what I DO know. Tigger isn't diabetic. He doesn't have kidney failure. Everything tests pretty normal. He is on oral antibiotics now, because Dr. Shroyer thought he might be exhibiting symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Tonight, I will have to give Tigger his first pill, and this should prove to be interesting. I'm good at giving them to Squeegee, but he doesn't have claws! Tigger is pretty lethal. Hopefully, he'll be agreeable!

 

If Tig's thyroid comes back normal, then we're still baffled. It still could be cancer, as some forms don't really show up in the blood work. There really isn't any explanation for why he's dropping so much weight.

 

This photo was taken back in September of 2008, when Tigger had first started living with me. Looking at him now, it's scary to me to realize that he looks so much older, thinner, and debilitated. I haven't taken any recent pics because to be honest, he's really not crazy about it, and I don't want him to be uncomfortable. One of these days, though, I'll grab a few shots when he's in a good mood.

 

Please keep Tigger in your prayers. He's a good boy, and the last four years have been good for him. I don't think he would have lived this long had I not taken him in, but I'm really not ready to lose him after only four years. Please pray for my finances, too, as I've only been pulling minimum wage, and these vet bills have been astronomical this year. (I have two other old cats, Barrymore, who is diabetic and on insulin, and Squeegee, who is doing well right now, but is about 15 years old. He was on pain meds for years, and is now weaned off them.) I've spent thousands on these guys this past year, and just their food and litter is running me close to $75 a week! I've been scraping by, but I'm really struggling. People have suggested I put them down, but they are like children to me. I'll continue to do without as long as I can to help them. Euthanasia is not an option, at least, not unless they are suffering and I CAN'T help them! Please pray....

New update and I figure out how to be shiny! Yay!!! There is now a hud that controls mouth openess, eye lids, tail, tail movement, and breast sizes!

A look at the remodeled kitchen. Phase one of updating our 1865 farmhouse is just about completed. We have a completed kitchen and bathroom, a new screen porch with some colorful flooring, and even a rocking chair for one of the porches.

Here is an update On RB Mack “Truck” Williams. I sculpted over his right arm to make it look like a robo arm of some sort, re-postioined his left arm to give him more of a stretch to it, stretched a pair of OYO legs by 1/8” and I’m closing up the face part a lil bit of a motorcycle helmet .

I am here to stay at 2-Dog-Farm. My name is Lizzy. I am 6 years old, that's all I know about myself. I finally have a collar and an ID tag. I know that I am an on and off leash dog. I am having problems with regular sit, stay, come commands. My new owners think that I know hand or sign languages, do you have any suggestion? I know that I love to herd goats, that's my new job here at the farm. When the goats scatter and Marin says "Psst" then I know I am suppose to go left to round up the scattered goats. Other than that my owners are stumped. I can do tricks without being told to. I can "Beg" and "Roll Over" very good;.I just want lots of love and attention. Can you guys help me? I am a very good dog and get along very well with Jill and Nanook
