Feels Like Rain
May. 12th, 2024 12:27 pmI tried Army Painter's Speed Paint on a mini last week, and results were mixed at best. Colors didn't really show up like I wanted. I wound up stripping the figure last night, and I'm going to repaint it this afternoon while watching the IMSA race at Laguna Seca (swoon) this afternoon.
Roger Corman died yesterday. 98 years old, FOUR-HUNDRED NINETY-ONE production credits. I've rarely, if ever, seen a Corman film I'd call good, but I've never not been entertained by them. He launched many many careers, including James Cameron's, and that ain't nothing.
Dad has surgery to remove cataracts from one of his eyes on Tuesday. He can't drive home after the surgery, of course, so I'm taking care of things on that end. And it's going to make for a busy couple of days for me. Work tomorrow, date with Donna tomorrow evening, drive to Liberty after that. Get up at 4:00AM to get ready to leave Liberty for Lexington at 5AM so we can be at the VA at 7AM. And then I camp out wherever I can find somewhere comfortable during the procedure. Then I take him back to Liberty and myself back to Louisville. Maybe I'll get back in time to play Dragonbane, and maybe I'll just take myself to a movie instead.
Going back to the western end of the state in late June. We decided on Kentucky Dam State Park for the annual Hex gathering. I think I'm going to stay off-site again - costs and membership rewards influencing that decision - and just drive the couple of miles from the east side of Paducah the park. If I even go. My trip to Charleston is three weeks after.
