The model that I never thought I would finish- It’s got to be at least three years ago i started this boat model. It is over five feet long and i always wanted to try building one out of steel. I actually had 2/3rds of the model built when i stopped and moved on to building other models. I never really thought I would ever get back to finishing it. I had several e-mails over the years asking whatever happened to the Great Lakes Ship Model. Yesterday I made more progress on it painting the orange stripes that Interlakes Steamship Co. has on their Freighters . I also worked more on the windows , applied decals that I really like , attaching more railings. This is definately going to be a one of a kind model considering I will never build another ship model.
Maybe a barge model someday with a big dredging shovel mounted on it though, ha,ha. That would still be a fun project.
Charlie Sheen Roast- Holy Crap , Deb and I watched part of the Charley Sheen Rast last night ! whoa ! Talk about some colorful language and lots of bleeping !!
Dancing with the stars – We watched Dancing with the Stars last night and it looks like it is going to be another interesting season with plenty to gossip about.
Obama to cut three trillion dollars – What a bunch of crap !!!! I used to like Obama when he was voted into office but now I can’t even stand to hear him talk after he has run this country so far more into the ground. Just watching him stand there and lie to the American people makes me very upset.
By the time you get my age you have heard it all and seen it all and believe none of them, ha,ha.
Have a great Tues.
