Up too late.

.

I lost track, trying to get past the difficult spot in the game.  Bleh.  Between it and staying up too late, I'm am bordering between getting a headache and getting a migraine.  At least I tolerate migraines better than most.  If I can keep the lights dim and the sound level down... I could continue to play!  :p  Seriously, Marge, there is something wrong with the boy... or... some such.  Never mind.  I'm headed to bed.  I'll set the alarm for noon.  I'll keep the phone near so that if my friend calls I might hear it, and I'll try to get in to town to... see what he might want to do.  I'd like to finish off his machine, though, too.  Snappy.

It ain't pretty, but it isn't too bad, either.  It's just, still, a bit... confusing.  I am just bordering on being perpetually a bit too tired, even without the game.  Focus is just a wee off, but can be had for moments.  It's the middling ground.  Not good enough but not hell or purgatory or void, either.

Now that I have all the paints I want, and the ideas rolling in my head, I am hoping to get to that... hmm, Friday would it be?  Tomorrow?  Sleeping over makes deciding what day it really is a messy thing.  Too tired to think for it to all make sense.  First, just painting the barrel and the inside of the foregrip with the heat paint... It is a primer as well as a top coat, I guess.  They suggest baking the parts, but... beside the fact that I don't think so... at all... the rifle wouldn't fit in the oven without removing the barrel, and that's just not going to happen.  No, after that coat, I'll have to wait.  The can suggest 48 hours, but I don't think so there, either.  I am going with 24 hours between coats.  Yeah... it's going to be a pain.  I do believe I have figured out how to get a tan outline.  I will be painting the whole thing tan, first.  Then I will cut out general, large, shapes, from the tape.  I will cut designs in the tape, but place the tape, hole but cut, then paint it black.  Then I will removed the inner designs, in parts, though putting the pieces back on wax paper, so as to be able to put them over the dried parts.  So that I can get the multiple colors inside the designs.  Yeah, it's... going to be rather technical, and may end up being a lot of work.  And, really, it isn't the right camo for hereabouts, so is really just a style thing.  And yet...  It's going home.  I've never had a home, proper.  But I have had some places I called home.  It's... something to do, as well.

Sassy is laying on my arm.  She's telling me it's bedtime.  She never does this, save when she knows poppo should go to bed.  Little nag.  Meh, I need teh nagging(tm).  So... Good night.
