Just the ones in the cemetery.
is my server messed up or are postings very low, mr eye?
I'm seeing some postings,not a lot...and most are spam.
must be the low part of the cycle. it'll pick up again.
Not yet, but I'm workin' on it...
do you need lawyers, guns and money? where ya been? we sent out the hounds, but the damn tweakers ate them.
We have all been at the gas station pouring our stash money in the tank (:<
Been back and fourth to the docs at UCLA...got scoped again, then caught pneumonia. Got the results last week that I have "mild" Crohn's disease...still trying to figure out what "mild" means. More drugs...
Quit my band - creative diffs, coupled with thoughts that I probably won't be able to keep up with both having a day job and playing on the road, seeing as that's what they eventually want to do. But I'm still doing some session/utility type playing here locally, and may get in on a city sponsored session workshop if that pans out. Crewed a gig with another band of friends last Saturday, will probably keep doing that...but they're increasingly wanting me to play too, so...maybe...one day...
damn, sorry about the health stuff. don't hesitate to yell if there's anything..... funny how in different ways we both have huge musical percentages of our lives. when can i hear some tunes? now i need to look up crohn's. heard the name, know nothing.
I know a couple people that have it - bad stuff, if it gets you severely. Increases my risk for colon cancer, too. Right now it looks like I'll be able to control it - I'm already eating 2250 mg of Colazal three times a day. So far that seems to be working...got some pain, but at least I'm not bleeding.
I'm in the process of putting my studio back together - the heart of it was going to be an old Yamaha C-70 preamp that I was going to use to switch signal between my TASCAM 688 and a G5 iMac...really nice hybrid set up. But the volume pot on the C-70 is out in one channel and I gotta get it repaired before I can really get down to biz. I'm also still toying with buying a Mackie 24.4 Onyx board and an ADAT 24 channel HD recorder...that would really give me a pro setup.
But it looks like my bikes are going to eat this year's tax return...the '03 is shorted somehow, and the '98 needs tires and a 30K service and some other luvin'. Anyway, once I get some stuff on tape I'll be posting some noise.
i know you have sense enough to take care, so i'll save the nag. i remember you talking about that set-up, sounds sweet. taxes? i been to dallas. old groucho joke. the irs is giving $300 to the poor. maybe i can get a full tank of gas. let me know where you post the noise.
Hi there.
Nope, I'm not dead but I almost feel like I am at times.
I am currently working on my 1/400 Lindberg HMS Hood. Got a RC radio and a micro servo for it yesterday.
I have back dated the model to how the ship appeared As Approved 1920.
It is most scratch-built and/or heavilly modified. You do NOT get a HMS Hood out of this kit with out a lot of extra work.
Cheers from Peter
please post some pictures. sounds like a great build.
Been busy with the after-market 1/72 decals database. Current count is
3,041 and just getting started. The entire database disappeared for a couple of weeks. Still don't know what happened. Started a new one in a slightly different format, so of course I found the original (with over 2,000 entries). Just finished combining them yesterday. Anyone care to participate drop me an e-mail at snipped-for-privacy@netscape.comWorking on the fifth of a series of Russian WWI/Revolution vignettes. This one is a cavalry charge down a rail line. The RPM 1/72 railroad tracks set is beautiful. Base is done, now on to the *%^#@) horses. I hate this stupid soft plastic!Also going back to the Ryan NYP-II "Spirit of Minneapolis/St.Paul". Paint job on the fuselage sides got messed up and I need to add exhaust stubs. BTW, the Rust-Oleum Brite Coat Metalic Silver worked great for the polished metal areas.Gathering kits for a "Round Wings" project. Anybody have a Fine Molds/Hasegawa Vought XF5U to spare?How long is it going to take to get rid of the knock-off con that's been flooding RMS of late? Anybody else file a complaint with this moron's server?Cheers,TomOn Apr 3, 9:47=A0am, snipped-for-privacy@some.domain wrote:> In article , snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.ca wrote:> > > > >On Apr 2, 2:00=3DA0pm, snipped-for-privacy@some.domain wrote:> >>hey, is everyone dead?> > >Hi there.> > >Nope, I'm not dead but I almost feel like I am at times.> > >I am currently working on my 1/400 Lindberg HMS Hood.

google doesn't care about spam. they don't care about anything but money. any pantload can post any s*it they want and google will kiss thier stupid ass. hopefully the spamtard will just fold. it's another chinese douchebag with zero brains.
The products and services spammer has been hitting more than just RMS for a long time.
If anyone uses SLRN as their newsreader, the following rule will eliminate most if not all of it:
Score: =-9999 % the chinese products and services daily spammer Expires: 02/28/2009 Message-ID: googlegroups.com {:: Subject: wholesale Subject: sneaker Subject: china }
Basically, it kills any articles posted via googlegroups that have wholesale, sneaker, or china in their subject.
of course, this means you might miss out on a discussion about wholesale trumpeter bargains ;)

that's the trouble with most filters, ever try n filter?
Seems I overpaid because of a windfall after I was hospitalized and I'm getting a good chunk back, but the wagon's coming to pick up my bikes tomorrow - I need two tires and 30K service on one, and the other has a short of some kind and needs a 17.5K service...so there goes my chunk.
Oh well...I'd been putting off the luvin' on the '98 for about a year, time to pay the piper. I feel like being on my wheels now that the weather's getting nice. We'll see how I hold up health-wise for trippin'.
