What a month

First, I want to apologize for not keeping up with the blog like I had intended. A lot has happened in the month of May. It started with me running around Texas like a chicken with its head cut off.

First, I get picked for jury duty. This causes a great deal of shuffling of my work schedule.

Second, we moved into a new house out of our apartment.

Third, my promotion finally came through.

Finally, my mom passed away on the 13th, ironic since she always said the number 13 never gave her any problems.

The jury duty has been postponed because my mom died and we are now completely out of the apartment. So now we are just faced with getting the house in order.

I will be posting a tribute to my mother later next week, as i get back into my regular schedule. Also my birthday is coming up so I will tell y'all about my presents.

Until then, see you in the funny papers.

TANKS, again.

Well with the completion of my first rifle platoon I finally get to work on my M4A1 Shermans. I have put a bunch of work on them already. I have drilled holes for the rare earth magnets in both the turrets and the hulls as well as ground down the area between the treads on 3 of them (these are the one piece resin models from "Open Fire") so the won't look like Patton's mock army in the south of England before D-Day.

I will post pics of them once I am done with them.
