The Mustang is Done!

Here's my Mustang getting her stipes on at Modern Image. Kyle is the man with the plan.


A rear view is always appreciated. ;)


Here she is finished! Kyle stayed late on a Friday, just to finish her up. He's a great guy. since it's 7:30, the pic is a little dark. I'll take more tomorrow. But SHE'S DONE!

Mustang Body Work is Done!

It took FOREVER, but the hood (with scoop), louvers, chin spoiler and duck tail are ON! Stripes and window tinits are NEXT!

Teaching Jack Chess

Kerry got this great kids chess set that lets us hide special treats inside the pieces, so jack gets a sticker or jellybean every time he captures a piece. He LOVES this idea. I went through the book with him, teaching him the moves ofr each piece. i wasn't sure he was going to remember it all, but he knew enough the next day to beat kerry at chess. :) Smart little cookie! :)

Met Penny-Arcade and Wonder Woman at Comicon!

Oriion's Turbo Morbias!

Back when I worked for GT Interactive, the publisher of Unreal and Unreal Tournamnet, I kept one of GT's UT servers running the map Morbias ][, with the Turbo setting on. It was 16 players crammed in the smallest UT Deathmatch map, stocked with rocket launchers and one precious Redeemer, all at the TURBO speed setting. I'd join in every day at lunch as my FPS character, Oriion, and join the carnage. Now that was FUN. Maybe I should start the server up again?
