Added the roofs and tarpapered them, for the two extensions, and for the two enclosed exterior staircases. Still need to weather them. Added a middle vertical “plank” to each end to cover up the seams that were created when I joined the front half to the rear half. Shouldn’t point this out, while it looks […]

Build of Shipyard Brewery – 3 of 6
Getting there. Glued on the barn doors (and funky windows) to both of the “extensions”, then glued on the two extensions to the building itself (one in front, one on left side). Glued on the two exterior enclosed staircases (one in front, the other on right side). Not happy with the back of the side […]
Build of Shipyard Brewery – 2 of 6
Weathered the rest of the walls tonight, painted, then stained and then glued on the windows (all 22 of them), glued one side/end wall to the front wall, and one side/end wall to the rear/back wall. Now need to glue each “L” section to each other, forming the building rectangle. The roof is just mocked […]
Build of Shipyard Brewery – 1 of 6
This is “Shipyard Brewery”. Started this today, and got a lot done with it. This particular model kit is what’s called a “false front” building. The kit is designed to build only the front half of the building, and there would be no “back” to it – with the intention of placing it ag…ainst a […]
Two or three (once again, profound) thoughts of the day.

Methinks I need to move the new typewriter keyboard to the end table of my couch/lazyboy. (life, […]
Canals in Saint Clair Shores
(note: need to further edit this story since it’s not flowing the way it should. need to add the pictures that go with this) (boy, this was just going to be a post about some stupid canals in SCS, but, wow.) ====== Starting around 1966/67, my mom went back to work (having started working during […]
Two (very profound) thoughts for today
After a few yrs of saying “I love working downtown”, let me tell you, it sucks to walk three blocks from the bus stop to the office at 8am, in minus 15 degree weather (not including windchill), for several days in a row. Boy, I just still love my Amazon Prime Now (grocery delivery service), […]
Movies – Molly’s Game
Went to see “I, Tonya” at the Uptown Theater, getting there ten minutes before the movie started – thinking it would be pretty easy to get in. Holy Crowd, Batman! It was sold out! Fortunately, the Lagoon Theater is just a block away, and had a choice of seeing Star Wars, “Three Billboards”, or something […]
