Welp it looks like I might finally get my Black Spire miniatures ordered in 2020, there’s about 195 of them to arrive by years end, if all goes well. However, I didn’t learn of this until AFTER I had signed onto a different crowd funding project from Archon, for their latest Dungeons & Lazers release of Posthaven. Not a problem. The more the merrier I suppose. Looks like the kids and I will have a fair number of miniature painting sessions to undertake together. I can give them a bunch of fun items to paint up how they see fit, and I can focus on the ones that I am most excited about. Now, some items will need to be assembled, so that work will fall to me, but once glued up, and primed ready for paint, then the kids and I can have at it. Should keep us busy all next winter. I hope! Ha.
When it rains, it pours – no? Five years I’ve waited for the first block of nearly 200 28 mm figures. I have a hard time believing that they might actually show up in 2025. I will not be surprised if it gets pushed to late first quarter of 2026, that’s just how little faith I have in some of these people. But i digress.
It is now Wednesday, with snow accumulation on both the ground, and my car. Man oh man am I sick to death of snow at this point. Double digit dates in April, this shit show should be behind us by now. I don’t mind the April rains, but I could do without the constant temperature drops, flurries, and flat out snow fall we continue to get. I’m over it! G’ah.
The weekend at least looks to be on the northern side of zero degrees Celsius, so that’s a plus. Most likely rain, but a couple of days up into the early teens might turn out moods around. Easter is right here upon us, later than usual. Funny how that is. Anyway, my wife has the kids stuff planned out for this year. I typically handle Christmas, and Valentine’s Day, and at least one of the kids birthdays. Halloween we all go all out, so nobody has to pick up slack for that, and our Thanksgiving is in October and besides the meal, there is no “special extras” to consider. That’s a plus. This year my wife wanted less candy so she sourced some neat little trinket things for the kids. I said have at it. We aren’t particularly churchy people, I mean we go at Christmas, for funerals and weddings, but that’s pretty much it. So I’m not all wrapped up in the lore for this holiday of sorts. I do appreciate the four day weekend though.
Tomorrow is the kids last day of school this week. I had planned to take them to Square One for a full day outing, but now it seems I need to go vote early on the Friday, and trek back and forth from the farm to retrieve my in-laws patio & pool things from the farm, as well as clean up after the syrup operation, and stack all of the fire wood they cut last week. So a weekend of manual labour it will be then. Plus Ham! And onion heavy Hash Browns. Such fun.
