Officegrown Peppers

The bell pepper plant a coworker brought into the office as a sprout a couple of months ago has born fruit:

And there are three or four more peppers to come:

X-wing Repaints

I painted up a couple of my X-wing minis.  Here are the two best ones so far:

HWK-290

I was never a fan of the original color scheme of the Moldy Crow.  I thought something darker and stealthier looking would look good.

A-wing

The fastest ship in the X-wing Miniatures game deserved to be repainted to look like my Camaro.

Little Brother

I have seen a yellow Chevy Cobalt in my neck of the woods a couple of times which has a lot of black highlights similar to my car (black hood, black spoiler, black fender hashes, black rims, etc.).  I finally spotted the car in a parking lot the other day parked across from my car.

On the rear window of the car is a decal for the website CobaltSS.net.

 

Prepping for Time Travel

I like to keep the odd foreign coin I come across.  I’ve received foreign coins (British pence, Euro cents, Ethiopian Birr, etc.) as change accidentally a couple of times.

So, as a very casual collector of coins, I decided to by these off eBay for a couple of bucks:

The dates range from 1938 to 1943.

When I first took them out of the envelope, it struck me that they were real. It was a different feeling than what you get when you just hear about history in stories, TV, movies, or whatever. These were real coins from a real period in the past.

I’m going to need to buy a bunch more for my first time travel trip.
