This week…7-8-2022

After the Dick Smith Birthday celebration it was three days later I started to feel a bit sick. I tested for covid and came up negative. Still I got something that made me pretty sick and miserable for 9 days now. It’s much better now and I’m sure by tomorrow I’ll be out of the woods.

This was my mistake for not wearing a mask at the event. I started wearing one but then noticed knowone else was. Many people got close to me and I could feel their breath on my face. They all seemed healthy enough but nevertheless I caught something from them and paid the price. a price that was considerably higher than the discomfort of wearing a mask in a movie screening theater. 

I will never in the future go to any event or public place with large numbers of people without wearing a mask again. I don’t care what people think of me or say to me. A person in the grocery store recently banged into my shoulder and called me a Maskhole. Little did he know by definition the word is defined as someone who denies science and refuses to wear a mask. How very sad.

So to make a long story shorter this is why I have been delayed and behind the last couple of weeks. Moral to the story. Wear a mask when out and about. It’s a cheap investment in your health and couldn’t hurt. And  wash your hands constantly especially after using the gas pump! There’s all kinds of things you can catch besides Covid out there and you can give it unknowingly to your family and friends. Not cool.

Back to our regular program schedule we worked on prepping two Seemore masks yesterday for painting today. They needed bubble removal, patching, and grinding the seams off.  Both these masks should ship Monday. Sorry for the delay.

Next week the Laserblast mask sculpture begins.

This Sunday I give this beautiful airplane its first flight. It’s a 22 year old epoxy glass fuselage and balsa built Japanese kit called the “Silky Wind”. A rare find I owe to Dave at Smith Brothers Hobby Center for finding. It came from an estate sale.
