Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

I got out to my deli today, bought some delicious meats, and went next door to the liquor store.
23.99 for a single malt scotch...

uuuh
"this has to be too good to be true".

Speyburn 10 year scotch.
Last one in the store in one of thos big metal tubes.

Cutty sark and weller 7 of the same size were 2 dollars less.

I got the single malt.

And first thing I did was pull it out of the time capsule, pierce the foil and pour a glass.

Holy fuck this stuff is awesome.
Clean finish.
Clean start.
Sweet but strong.

Just like how I like my men...
err... wait...

I figured this would be my christmas present to myself.

In the meantime...
*shrugs*
I gotta metabolize this hooch first.
Getting ready to make sausage and ... some kinda pasta.
Because if I have rice and black beans one more fucking time in 24 hours
I'll kill someone.
I'm leaning towards Greg Keneier.
Or however the fuck his name is spelled.

Uuh...
also
it is cold.

I know.
November, Kansas, obvious statement
but I'd rather paint in my garage in ... moderate temperatures.
or in heavy coveralls.

I need to put down at least one more coat of primer on the jets and then wait at least 3 hours to start color.

Uuh... I don't even know why I haven't started soaking my other parts.
Apparently washing your parts before painting is a crucial step.
They have some kind of lubricant/release powder on them from when the plastic was cast and removed from the molds.

Its apparently part of the reason my paint isn't adhering well.
I kinda wish this project was done already
even though I don't immediately have another one lined up.

Also... anyone noticed that I haven't touched my Zeta C1 + for like
4 months?

... no paint scheme, and I already got an arm completed.
... probably should get that done first huh?
I can do that in the heated portion of my house.

Oh
and my toilet flushes now...
fucking gremlins.

I should probably soak my Gouf as well huh?
I've always got that lined up... someone buy me black matte acryl.
I'm lazy and I just spent 25 bucks on scotch.
