Happy New Years Ya Bastards!
So Happy New Year’s everyone and all that nice jazz. I’ve finally gotten the chance to upload some of the pictures taken from the New Year’s Eve party at my house, pictures from Anime LA, and everything else in between.
Christmas Weekend/Build Gathering Update
Christmas and weekend build gathering update… first the tree and my Hazel topper…
So how was everyone’s Christmas? The days since Christmas Eve have sort of melded together, so this post will encompass everything for the past few days through the Build Gathering. Holy hell I’m tired, and I’m looking forward to taking the following day as a recovery day; a good thing that I’m off for the next week.
Snow Summit Skiing…
With the recent winter storms in Southern Calif. and my need to burn off excess ATO; I had planned to head up to the mountains Friday to get some skiing in, as fresh natural powder is fairly rare out here in So Cal. With most of my friends having to work or hung up on other obligations, I was pretty much resigned to the idea that I was going alone; no biggie, I used to do this all the time when I was in the Air Force. But as luck would have it, I went to pick up Jay and Claire from the airport on Thursday, and pretty much bugged Jay about going to the mountains with me the next day. Keeping him mind that he and Claire had about 2 hours of sleep the previous night, went through a 6 hour flight, and then the asshole that I am is sitting there coercing him into waking up early the following day to head up to the local mountains and ski…. He caves.
Iwata HP-C Care Tutorial
This is a tutorial for properly taking apart and cleaning the Iwata HP-C airbrush. Note that I only do this thorough of a cleaning, once a month to once a quarter depending on how often I use the tool, or how dirty it gets. For this I use the needle wrench that comes with the airbrush, silicon free airbrush oil to lubricate the parts when done cleaning, a small cup to hold cleaner fluid, and blue shop towels I get from the local hardware store.
