This past Sunday was Pasadena Modelers Society’s annual model contest; Valley Con. I forced a good number of the model build group folks to coming out and entering. Granted the PMS club is a little bit of a good ole boys club, but I go for the inspiration of different kits and build styles.
Mindless cooking advice. Steak. Look for good marbling - small little dots of white or a marble look of white and red. The white are small little pieces of fat that will ensure that you have a nice juicy piece…
This is the ninth consecutive year for the ski trip. To date, there are only three people on the trip who have made it every single year. Brian, Keith, and of course me… This almost didn’t happen in 2003. A few of the regulars didn’t make it, so it was less rowdy as a result. Clementine, Terry, and Monica add a great deal of rowdiness, so the void that comes with them missing was felt by all the usual suspects.. A good number of people expressed confusion and annoyance that Terry didn’t come up. Perhaps next year. Regardless, a good time was had by all.
The weekend was fairly low key. Some friends came over to hang out on Friday and Saturday. I went out and picked up a pressure pot to help my mold making and resin casting. The pressure pot will help squeeze out air bubbles in the mold and resin and hopefully result with the molds and resin casts parts in higher quality. I was originally planning on hitting up the slow dive boat out to Catalina, but I used that money on the pressure pot and other things. Additionally, the boat dive to Catalina pretty much takes up the entire day from 5 in the morning until about 6; I had other things that I needed to do on Sunday. So a nice morning dive took care of the itch to swim with the fishes. Hugo and Beanie tagged along to the beach.
