say what you will about this administration, you gotta respect their commitment to just saying stuff
Every claim in this paragraph is false, which cannot bode well for the rest of the post.

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash

“What is that in your bed?”
“It’s a puffball mushroom I foraged.”
“Why is it there?”
“I was worried it had got cold and sad.”
“But you’re going to eat it soon anyway.”
“The fact that we all have to die at some point doesn’t mean we should not live well, in comfort, beforehand.”

Good facts about squirrels' tails I have learned:
1. Squirrels can fan out their tails, turn them around and use them as umbrellas when it’s raining.
2. Squirrels have occasionally been known to use their tails as rafts, to help them cross rivers.

Did you miss me? Current status. It was a silver monster, then a lumpy blue monster (masking tape) now a shiny black lumpy monster, but I'm surprisingly pleased to be here - nearing the end of the build and (fingers crossed) the end of #HeaviesGB in #histscalemodels, thanks, @jaaaagirr.bsky.social!

i would have the Marine Corps hold Steven Spielberg's family hostage until he did a two season miniseries of book accurate adaptations of Jurassic Park and The Lost World
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Aftet the election in New York I saw a lot of doom and gloom posts lamenting the imminent death of the city and how AWFUL the Mayor-elect was. After his meeting with Trump I’m curious to see if those people do a 180.

Cool: getting a 50+year old model kit you’ve wanted for a long time, in this case the Frog 1/72 Westland Wyvern.
Less cool: the fact decals age. This could get interesting. Just taking off the wax paper was painful! #histscalemodels

The Blu-Tack and Maskol technique worked a treat, although I need to do some touch-ups and mask was rough to apply. I remembered that RNZAF Canberras probably had hard-edge camo, but this has been more of a learning build than an all-out accuracy hunt.

I felt lucky to watch the Luftwaffe Airbus A321 15+10 on finals over the house on Saturday. It was a lovely day for it.
I’ve been really enjoying seeing this and the two A400Ms from our house and just haven’t felt the need to try photograph them. Just experiencing it is nice.

Fun(?) times and good progress on the model bench today. The Corsair and Sikorsky are done, and the Canberra’s almost ready for paint. The fit and accuracy of the Ventura are making me want to find a Frogspawn one. #histscalemodels
