Picture Thread 2014

Look on my magnificence, ye mortals, and despair!

Mine first.

Just because it's expected, this is during Monday's snowstorm:

THIRTEEN YEARS OLD today!



She celebrated by peeing in her crate for the first time. :/

"An Unearthly Child" meets "The Tenth Planet" meets Snowpocalypse '14:

Second model of the year - a late model Spit!

So the dude that took that photo had one of fancy smancy cameras that actually kinda distorts everything. Isaac's face looks weird (as does mine). Normal view.

A snowman from last week's storm, after parents thoroughly thrashed the kids in a snowball fight.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that one hand seemed out of proportion.

My wife and I bought a new car this weekend. The exceptional 1987 Honda Accord Lx-I, with fuel injection and all the power options. I've named her Boudicea.

5 more inches of snow fell AFTER this pic was taken.



Meanwhile across the street...

@Forbin:

Is yours mixing with rain, too? We're getting a pretty nasty mix.

This is Boston on a day when schools remain open:

I figger another snow and we won't see the neighbors at all!

That's a good thing Forbin, a very good thing.

John and his ukelele "Eugene."

BTW, that meal and coffee is $3.99, including tax.

Can't see a fucking thing up or down the road when I pull out. And more snow is falling right now!

The cement "toadstool" (family heirloom garden seat!) is about 2 feet tall.
And, like I said, more snow started falling this afternoon.

My boys playing in the backyard. We did not get as much snow last night as forecast.

Scraping out a path for the old codger of a dog to get to her favorite peeing spot.

My lair, looking left and right.



Trek Kitbashes in the right corner over the computer. The left wall is assorted random sci fi and fantasy.



There's a drawing board under there that gets no use any more. No real organization on those back shelves, either, they're sort of the ctachall for random finished models.

My lovely wife allows me to keep the airplane models in the dining room in Ikea cabinets.


The trains are hand-made by my great grandfather. 3rd rail O-Gauge, a Rogers 4-4-0 and a Camelback. Got the Bickel brandy bottle at a flea market for 5 bucks! The dining table is my grandmother's, bought in 1928 and still hangin' in. It folds out from a circle to an oval seating 10-12. Had many a holiday family meal around it.

Aw, man. I want a lair!

Screencapped this morning:

CATCH!



"It's in the corner. You get it."
