So 2023 was a pretty dynamic year, but was fairly productive on the hobby front; My kids hooked me into the 40k universe, we wrapped up a 6 year D&D campaign, and I dove headfirst into @ArenaRex …perhaps now the Old World beckons…

Hello @antmccrossan don’t forget 50 points at the finish today

OK @nicholasroche @QuinnSimmons9 didn’t lose anything like 8 or 6 minutes on the final climb….more like 4 in total, riding like a machine to help Ayuso after he was caught.

Historically speaking, the team “putting everything “ on Michael Matthews rarely goes well @antmccrossan @nicholasroche

OK @antmccrossan and @nicholasroche Excellent commentary from you two at the tour as usual. Thinking about stage 13 on Friday. It brings to mind stage 13 in 2011….which was won by a certain Thor Hushovd where he survived vs climbers and won the stage. UNO-X perhaps?

Best expert commentary in pro cycling is @nicholasroche hands down. @antmccrossan is great as well. Question: Has the Tour’s attitude towards road painting changed? Thus far this year, there has been a fair amount of white wash on the roads but little/ no “Tour grafitti”

And it’s made even better because he is making the Cowboys look like chumps…which is always cause for celebration.

Better than your subject verb agreement, evidently.

This is how it is properly done. Beautiful.

Are these for sale anywhere?

Ummm..Oregon does it. (And I think a few other states as well)

So I put the extra hour today to good use and banged out some 20mm bikers for our growing Gaslands teams. I’m thinking of basing the dirt bike guy as about to catch air over some obstacle.

Here’s a better angle…xitter.cf/jemelehill/status/1853…

Here’s why I like old “dumb” clocks…you can take all day to set them back and re-live the “hey I have an extra hour!” multiple times today

And for something completely different, I painted Anakin for my sons’ Star Wars Legion game. I think I’ll add a battledroid head on the ground to finish it off…

So now that we are fully in “hobby weather”…here’s what I’ve been up to: Painted some 20mm punks for extra crew for our Gaslands vehicles:

Most definitely….this one is #1 for me:

And finished very nicely, I would add.

Some kids just showed up and informed me that they were nine this year and last year I told them they could have two candy bars when they were nine. I said “Well played, youngster”

Now this is awesome…

Come to our house, folks…we’ve been doing that for 20 years…
