Hi everyone! It has been a while since my last post so I thought this would be a good time to check in.

Step 1:
5:00 am, breakfast. It was time to accept the things that I can not change (<span style="font-size:x-small;]personal and professional challenges) and make a smile. New avatar in the making.

Step 2:
Compare paint job to the MR motion tracker and assess the work that lay before me.

Step 3:
Consider the idea of parting out an ammo box.

Step 4:
Make a few adjustments and take a picture for the gallery thread.

We have a lot to talk about.

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Its going to be odd not seeing Arnie about in the avatar image........but as long as your here we'll make do

To be honest I don't know if the Arnie was your last was it?
Gladiator is ringing a bell for some reason.

I believe he had Russel Crowe from Gladiator as his avatar last time.

About time for a real picture of you Tom.

Russ

Unless of course your as scary in real life as we suspect..

Thanks fellas!! It's good to see you all too!! Thanks for the reminder, Kevin. I've got to see that film again. Classic!!

Time for a real pic as an avatar? Eh? You fellas wanna see my ugly mug? If someone can help me get one off of my phone and on to the web, I'll serve one up pronto.

BTW- you guys should have seen the Yin and yang I made by accident with some fried eggs the morning prior to the first image. Tried a number of times to duplicate & capture it with no success. Still working on it.

Awesome Tom! Remember, 60x60 pixels.

And get rid of your current avatar... it's making me hungry.

I'm thinking omelettes for supper now...

Welcome back! You've got more grenades on that table then the entire Marines on Archeon!

Nice looking cat.. I've got a similar unit myself. Ginger Tabby with White bottom. Fat. Did I say FAT? Oh yeah, he's a fat cat. Since he wasn't a solid Ginger Tabby I named him 'Doctor Jones'. Think it gave him a split personality!

There's a 5AM now?!? Why wasn't I advised? Welcome back Tom... I miss Maximus, though.

I'm no Arnie but thanks for the compliment. Sorry for missing that earlier, Tony.

60 x 60? Roger, roger, Rook. An omelette you say? Now, that is an art and there are so many possibilities!
