Christmas at Hobby Lobby

Frank, I hate you...

Frank Kranick (the hateful Frank)

Okay, just kidding - good for you. Merry Christmas!

I still hate you...

Fortuneately I am the forgiving kind.

Can't get mad this time of year, especially since I bought the wife a 5 candle candle holder/sculpture thingy for the jacuzzi tub in our bathroom. And I think we're going to test burn those candles tonite, too. Did I mention how great my wife is? 8)

Ho, ho, ho.

The loving Frank

If you post tomorrow we'll know you survived the test burns. ;)

They'll find Scranton.....someday. Whether that's before or after Lancaster, who knows?

Every once in a while, they put out clearance merchandise (including models) in the far left hand corner of the store (far left hand corner as you walk in the entrance). The last time I went there about 2 weeks ago, they had clearance models on one of those square display stands just in front of the model aisle.

You *know* you'll see them (or any hobby retailer for that matter!) in Lancaster before Scranton. We're the backwater of most social trends, new stores and fashion. And when we do get a Hobby Lobby of our own, the company will have grown into the business to realize the low prices they've honored were mistakes and correct that - just in time for the Scranton store's grand opening... ;-) FWIW, Internethobbies.com is located about 10 miles north of me and the fella who runs it has a retail store and he seems a good egg. So, if you're in the area...

That's where it was yesterday.

And I didn't forget about you Rob. We're still settlin' in. I'm going to vounteer for that civilian program you mentioned, but when it's a bit consistently warmer and I can take off for a day or two on the weekend.

Oh wouldn't I like to be! Just to see the mountains again, if nothing else. Maybe, if I win the Lottery....

What, you finally left NoVa? I told you to get out of there years ago.

Yup. 25 minute commute, big house, 5 acres with room to shoot. And plenty o' modelin' room. What's not to like. People are even friendly.

But we are going back this weekend for Christmas with the inlaws. Ah well, I can stand it for a coupla days.

Well, hopefully it will improve your, well, ... um... er .... "disposition". You were too close to the things that pushed your buttons there.

I think they have just about all gone to this format of displaying a constant supply of "sale" models. My Hobby Lobby does the same thing in the same place. Hope that doesn't spell the demise of thier 40 and

Stopped by there today with the wife, all kits were 30% off so I grabbed the new Dragon Marder II for $30.

Yeah, I'd wait for warmer weather before heading up to Zussman to be a human target.

Err, yeah. I rather expect any accidental or otherwise physical contact to be a bit more painful in the cold and wet. BTW can you ask for a specific role? Like real bad guy (shooter/bomber). Though I'd want to know more about the role before committing otherwise just member of noisy mob is OK, too.
