Under the weather just got snowed in…

My head cold from last week has turned into a sinus infection, so I've been out of sorts for the past few days.  The doc prescribed antibiotics, so I should be right as rain in a few days.  And, of course, that four-letter work spelled w-o-r-k is picking up, too, so I gotta make hay while the sun shines.

(Count the number of clichés and homey, old time phrases in the last paragraph.  Not intentional–or was it?)

I have managed to get a little bit of model building done, though–the Monogram 1996 NASCAR Monte Carlo is now wearing gray primer.  Shortly, the inside will be wearing a new coat of Chevy Engine Red, and the outside will be silver.  Then, all I'll lack is finishing up.   Seriously, though, once the interior paint is done, it won't be too long before I can check the "done" box on this one.  It won't be terribly accurate, as I'm going by a very few photos, but it will do for my purposes.

But, in the meantime, I'm relaxing and trying to get back to 100%.  Between this bacterial invaasion and the heat (today was somewhere close to 100 degrees, with a matching humidity), I'm wiped out when I get home…

I've been meaning to pass on some of my favorite places to visit on the Interwebs.  Let's start with blogs.  I've already mentioned Pat Hawkey's blog and Replica In Scale.  Another one I'm fond of is The Northward Contrail, a hodge-podge of stuff about, well, different stuff.  And Chris Bucholtz of Obscureco also maintains his own place where he talks about models and history.  All of them are well worth checking out. 

There are a few others, too.  Stonekettle Station is one of those I enjoy reading, but be warned–he tells you what he's thinking and really doesn't take any crap…

Next time, maybe I'll point out a few places on the Interwebs where I hang out.  And I should have some pictures of the Monte Carlo, too… 

Thanks for reading.  Be good to one another.  I bid you Peace.
