Chris, glad to hear from you! Yes a childs health is ALWAYS a parents concern. We all understand. Just stop by often and let us know how you & yours is doing. Keep the faith!..Harv
Hi priest, I also live in the bay area and in case you didn’t know, model heaven is a short drive away in Sacramento. Riverside Hobbies is the mecca. Also if you’re in the Tahoe-Reno area High Sierra Hobbies in Reno is about the next best I have seen.
Zar, which shops in Sac are you talking about? I live 15 min away in Galt…Harv
Hey I still can’t spell Krupp either though I’m usually a phonetic speller. But it is caused during feeding just have her disinfect herself after feeding Aidan my nieces always caught it when they were babies. Besides this lack of modeling must also be affecting you wife too as she built car models.
Did you make it back to Oklahoma since your last visit?
As for what Jon (acmodeler) said, Top Shelf models in Owasso is worth the trip from B-ville. Also, if you are there during the morning or afternoon, the F-16’s launch at 9:30 (might be 9) and again at 2:00 (might be 2:30) Monday through Thursdays from TUL (3 miles South of Top Shelf models). Sorry about the time being 30 minutes off, I cannot exactly rember which it is but they do fly twice a day.

smeagol the vile: Well if we really want to get into specifics the Athlon x2 7750 isnt really an athlon but a phenom with 2 cores deactivated, if you throw it in a 790 chipset and turn acc on it activates the other two cores (kinda stupid cus they were deactivated for a reason the failed quality control). I totally agree with you though, I meant top teir in the sense that there isnt anything out there that this thing cant do, some may do it faster but she will get them done. What is her purpose…does it sound creepy if I say companionship? She doesnt really have a purpose, I am really kinda all over the place when it comes to computers and I wanted on that could keep up, I multi task like a madman, I want it to run well any games I may get the urge to play (Runs Crysis at med/high settings at 39c), I work, I research, I just for once wanted know that whatever I wanted to do she wouldnt let me down, and with 8gb of Kingston hyperx 1066 she certainly doesnt. Had her OC’d to 3.1ghz but wasnt too happy with the stability and didnt want to run the voltage to the processor necessary to make her stable. That being said I already have a Phenom II x4 940, Gigabyte 790 and a 1gb Radeon 4870 in my wish list on newegg now to just figure out how to pay for them. Certainly not going to sell the first born, but the wife maybe… I would be intersted to see pics of your rig, I used to be so into computers as a kid but then sports, women and intoxicants came into the picture and it was curtains on that. This is my first true performance oriented computer though and I am happy as can be(but still want more)
Brain & Dirtball: I will definately be around, but agree with you both when we say my boy is more important when compared with building. Dont worry brain, you cant get rid of me that easy. Tell your grandson good choice of hobbies, though a little styrene never hurt(though the fumes from working on that styrene do apparently)
Zar: I am partial to Hobbytown USA in fremont and hobbies unltd previously in hayward although i dont know where they have relocated to recently
Mike: I definitely appreciate your input on the croup front but this child hasent fed from his mother in 16 months (No nutrients there, she survives on a diet of chips, dips, soda and hostess products, how she continues to look amazing is beyond me). The nurses and doctor agreed it was caused by a respiratory irritant most likely cigarette smoke or other chemical, and since I walk to the street to smoke and the only other chemical in the air at that time was whatever the heck is in mr cement and some styrene particles it is a pretty natural jump.
Edit: The wife plans and occationally works on building model cars, she also does punch needle, crochet, glass etching, restoring furnature, decopage, photo editing, digital scrap booking…The only thing I have ever seen her complete were projects in the final two. Man to have all the money back that I spent getting her started on all those hobbies
drhornii: Now that is something I would take the time to catch, would just have to home my flights coincide so I can be there at the right time. Still havent made it back yet, probably in the next few months. We ended up having a lot of people volunteer to go out and teach those agents so we are sending quite a few different people of different skill sets hoping that it will create more rounded call center agents.
This monster would eat my wife alive, he will eat his own kids size breakfast and then start grabbing for yours, little chubby baby(well not so little anymore).
