Not that I remember....The scars across my chest are from chicken pox.....Not bullets.

Well Gentlemen, I thnk we can all agree that falls into the category of "too much information".

Decades ago I could get to the then President of the USA in just two steps.

- did you used to buy a lot of peanuts?
- did you used to drive a Mustang?
- were you the female telephonist for the Hot Line? (in your Master Spy role, of course)
- did you know Lincoln's wife/photographer/urologist ...?
- were you Washington's denture maker?

Anyway, taking this thread out and treating it the way a Greenlander treats a seal cub ...

Let's talk about me.

I have been cogitating - which although illegal in some of the Southern US states, is still presently allowed in the UK - upon my recent productivity. Granted being on holiday did allow me to devote enormous chunks of time to the hobby, but even so, I maintained my mojo for a fortnight - which is remarkable for a man my age. My ruminations led me to the conclusion that it was by mixing my projects that I was able to sustain the work rate. I mixed ancients with WWII naval, with aircraft and Traveller minaitures 1:3000, 1:600, 10mm and 25mm. 

Admittedly, working of 4 projects does mean that each one will take 4 times as long; but if I'm painting 5 times as fast (OK I'm not).

Anyone else work in mixed media this way? Am I confusing the joy of being out the office with the love of the hobby?

Yes, this is a desperate effort not to think about Techno's chest.

While still enjoying our vacation travel I do need to break surface and say that while cogitation may APPEAR to be unlawful it is only because we substitute rumination (as we are more closely - although not intimately - associated with the world of creatures - much like rural Wales).

Your reference to Techno's chest - which I took to be some box of goodies - caused me to catch up on this tread - thanks - I needed those images! ( this is of course sarcasm  - which my father told me never to indulge in - or, so Kitty is propitiated - in which my father told me never to indulge).

As to multitasking - yes - I have some sticks full of figures that I put a bit more color on every now and then - I don't know how many sticks - it is like counting minnows in a mill pond.

Well it isn't really is it?  Sticks don't move unless you choose to move them, nor are they capable of hiding in the murky depths, painting sticks (certainly my painting sticks) are twice as big as a minnow, and I can get a lot closer to them that if they were cast into a mill pond. Woudn't it be more accurate to say it's a bit like counting trout at the fishmongers?

You don't have many people come in to your house do you

I don't,  now you come to mention it.   

Only when they are based, labeled, spreadsheeted and neatly stored do they rise to the level of fish at a mongers.
Like the great eye of Sauron, I have, at any moment, a laser focus on one thing, all else falls into oblivion.
What was organized becomes disorganized, what was disorganized becomes chaotic and things that should be remembered are forgotten.
No - minnows in a millpond I think. 

Does anyone else miss the seal cub? 

Don't carp on about it, we've haddock enough!

Don't flounder Will, get your skates on, if escape is your sole porpoise.

I'll get me rudd-y coat from it's perch, it's that big one (I'm a bit of a chub!).

For goodness hake, if you think this is the end of the fish jokes .... Bream On!

You did that on porpoise!
