Monday Things

Beware Zone Base readers, Monday has came back. We'll have to band together and fight this menace together. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was for the most part, aside from a moment of sadness Saturday. The Mrs and I got out for a little weekly shopping Saturday morning. At Target I got the rest of the goodies for the Mrs's Halloween present and some other great stuff. We then went to Costco, but on the way stopped at Tim Hortons for their Halloween bucket full of Timbits! It's a great glow in the dark bucket decorated with cats full of donut holes that we're still working on. Man they're tasty!

We had lunch at Costco before getting our candy for Halloween. Costco has pallets of Halloween candy each year for amazing prices. We got over 11lbs for the kids this year with a little extra that we've already got. This weekend we'll get some other goodies as the Mrs likes to make some treat bags for the first few kids that'll come by. While passing my Mom's house (she lives a few blocks away) we sadly saw one of the stray kittens who have taken residence in the neighborhood whom had been ran over in the street. I got my shovel and we had a little funeral for the poor fellow in Mom's backyard. Rest in peace little one, I'm sorry you had that happen.

The rest of Saturday was spent at home with dinner and TV... and a long nap. Sunday morning I made a quick trip to Publix for a few things and picked up some Halloween donuts. While out, I swung by TJ Max to get the Mrs a little suprise. She made us a great breakfast and deserved a little something nice. I enjoyed MeTv Toons Spooky Sunday while working on a new backdrop for toy pictures here on the site. Afterwards a nap was had before Mom came over and we ordered dinner from Longhorn Steakhouse. A great meal that was enjoyed while watching True Haunting on Netflix. 

After Mom left, I worked more on the Flame Toys Furai Model Rodimus kit I started last weekend while we watched Silver Bullet. I've almost got it completed... which I'll do next weekend. I've got quite a backlog of models, including some more Furai Model kits. I think I'll follow him with some Blokees as they're a little easier on my fingertips. I spent last night assembling his legs which had more tiny things than the arms had to work together. It's a pretty intricate kit that's looking pretty great. In some ways, I guess I'm still that kid putting Robostrux together on the kitchen table with my brother.

As for toys, yeah, I got a few this weekend. The Mrs and her friends took a trip to the northside of town for Labubu and other similar toys Friday and she brought back some surprises for me. Some ramune candy that I love and a fish wafer cookie. They're delicious and don't taste like fish. Some Transformers soda cans and a TF pencil sharpener as well as some Ultraman sticky notes. She also picked me up a Bandai blind box Gundam figure. The series is based on the Chinese zodiac, I got a delightful green snake one! Target had some Galaxy Version Blokees. I got almost the entire box (it was only missing one) and you can be sure to see those on the site in due time. They had several other Transformers I needed, but I had other things to get. I'll be sure to pick them up soon and of course Christmas is around the corner. I'm disappointed that current Transformers prices are so high. Voyager class is now 42-45 dollars each and that is ridiculous. I do hope things get worked out soon. Though I think lost sales will result in some of these pricing conditions to mysteriously vanish. Money talks and bullshit walks. 

I was sad to learn that Bam Magami's mother had recently passed. It's an honor to express my condolences and be in a position to speak with one of my favorite Transformers artists. Though I'm definitely sad for him. Let's keep him in our thoughts Zone Base readers. Well, it's time to get this week started. There's some household chores to be done and I've got the last of this years Halloween post pics to take. Being ahead is weird sometimes, because we've still got two weeks of Spooky Season to celebrate. This week's full of  pumpkin spiced robots, monsters,and misadventure! Please look forward to it!
