Re: Flamethrower Combat Garden Gnome
Ok. I have excuses! I can even get a doctor's note!! My excuse is that I've had to go to physical therapy the past couple weekends. Then they decided that wasn't working so I had a chance to finish the FFG. Denied!!! I got the flu on my days off and have been working ever since. I get one day off tomorrow so maybe I can finish then. Here's a hasty picture taken 10 minutes ago:
Now for more rum, err I mean Nyquil.
No, I mean rum!

Sorry you feel bad! Naps are good, though.bitbite wrote:Meh. Still feeling like crap so no updates today. Will get back at it ASAP. Now off for a nap.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Get some rest man, and maybe try mixing some rum with your Nyquil................. nah, maybe not.
Hoping you feel better soon. I've been waiting for this to be finished.
