Running Bear's October 2026 Coffee Shop

[Bill Tidler Jr.]

Good morning, Coffee Shop!

It's Tuesday, 69°F (20.5°C) and partly cloudy in Tipton.

Have a great day!

Actually about 12”. A 12” ruler is very very close to a 30cm ruler. 11” is a hair under 28cm

Thanks

Good morning all!

Currently partly cloudy and 68F. High for today is supposed to reach 79F. There is a slight chance of rain later this morning but not a big one. Better chance later tonight thru the overnight hours. Temps will then nosedive and fall will be back in the air.

Usual stuff around the House today. Sheets need to be done, dishwasher emptied, things like that.

Not much else going on at the moment. Wife and daughter go back to work and school today after a 4 day weekend.

Have a safe say everyone!

How's Everybody doing, eh?
(a little Boomer intro for y'all)

I crashed hard last night about 8p... laying on the couch for 15 minutes to see if a 15 minute nap could give me a second wind. About 9p I woke and stumbled up to bed.
Awake at 2 am brain fully awake.

Last nasty day of summer today. I was lying in bed thinking I should put the AC vent in the window for tonight, just to keep our upstairs cool enough to sleep.

Spent some of yesterday watching boomer. I like his water method.... BUT I cannot find GAC 500 anywhere. Turns out it's discontinued by Golden.

GAC 800 is a thinner variety according to the AI overlords.

He's mixed the Soft Gel Semi-gloss with the GAC medium, and sponging it on over his sponge-stippled effects to simulate the river where his barge and ramp sit.
Full vid here.

This looks sooooo much easier, and less messy than with resin pours.

Now, I'm curious how Tom O will do his waterfall?

Troy all waterfalls will be done using the Boomer Diorama method using the GAC500. Purchased recently

This will be the 3rd area the team will use Gac500 so the big bottle has been worth it. The falls should deplete the supply we haven left. There are other materials you can substitute and we have done waves successfully before with Elmer’s Glue All. I think the world of Boomer and his methods. But when it comes to his materials, he buys top quality supplies. But he also tells you that.

Gemini suggested just now that GAC200 is a great substitute

I just took another look at the tracking from USPS. The package seems to be stuck in a loop, going from Memphis to random other places, then returning to Memphis.
Strange…

67°F and clear this morning. Heading for 95°F today in the middle of October.

Cardiologist at 0830, then my day is mine like all the others. I hope I won't have to turn on the A/C today. It stays comfortable in the house for several days when it heats up outside, but that doesn't last forever. Yesterday it never rose above 85°F in the house, but with little humidity it stayed nice.

Nothing else going on here today. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Servus!

If it's past the due date, a missing package report will often get someone's attention. It's worked for me before and I file a missing package report the day after it was due.

I got an email notification that one of my packages is now in Japan. Tried to verify it on the USPS tracking website, but of course, nothing opens. I think I get access to that site less than 10% of the time. They must think that it might be better if I not know where my packages are.

Well, of course after I write the above, I gain access. The one that is in Japan is the one that was in Ft Worth yesterday. No clue where the one that departed O'Hare on the 11th is.

B1tching about it seems to get the online service's attention, I guess...
