Finishing touches on Agent X kickplate

In some stage, it is finished! Whoo, what a ton of work. I might have reconsidered if I knew going in the amount of work this would have been. A lot of hours, and a lot of my precious time taken up on this thing.

I matched thickness on borders tonight and adjusted surrounding artwork. That sounds simple enough, but took forever. A lot of guides, a lot of dragging and adjusting control points. I also did some of the final stuff like make clipping

Cap kit for Sanyo 19″ Color 20-Z2AW

And yet almost another month gone. Today I finally finished the cap kit on the monitor for the Dig Dug, a Sanyo 19″ Color 20-Z2AW, or so the cap kit package from Bob Roberts says. I think it is a variation of the number, but the same idea. I also got to solder on the new resistor on the Audio board, and removed the other bad resistor. Now I have to figure out what I need there as my next step I would guess.

Measurements and more robots on Agent X kickplate

Felt refreshed enough now that I took a little bit of a break from working on this artwork that I got back at it today. I redrew the arms, or about 60% of them, from the closer more details photos I had gotten later on. I spliced that artwork into the robot I had, making a copy of the finished one before I started working and then I had a copy of the after as well.

I moved the robot over, duplicated it, rotated and sized it until I

Today Christine came back with Lady to let the two dogs meet each other. It went…ok. I don’t think it was as nice as when Nokes met Hunter, probably because Hunter was in control because he was so much bigger. With Lady, Nokes is about the same size, but had the same amount of craziness. She did some growling, but towards the end of the 45 min session, they seemed ok with each other. Nokes kept batting at Lady with a paw to the nose, we naturally didn’t like that. …

Today Nokes went in the car with Sarah and she said he stuck his head out the window. He apparently was puppy Joe cool too, one paw deftly pointed down and he head cocked like a stud.

Oh and he did a number on that firehose chew toy, it is frayed all over the place. Good thing it is for heavy chewers because he is going to seperate the two pieces within a couple of weeks I imagine.

Tonight Nokes met Christine, he was all over her and the girls. They thought he was quite the cutie though, and he is still, even as he gets more distinguished everyday in his looks. They brought him a new chew toy, a loop on one end and a squeaky firehose material on the other end.

Got the game into the basement tonight, for it’s final resting place for awhile. The monitor was great in the garage until I moved it around, and then when we moved it into the basement it got better again. Was a ton of work though, figured out that we can’t have a game facing out with it’s back against the window. The back really has to be against the guest room closet wall. But it works.
