Thanks, definitely appreciate it, I’ll head...

where you truly start to feel your mortality. For you yung’uns, it’s when you outlive your first friend. One of my oldest and best friends passed last night. He was 10 years younger than me, but had similar habits to me pre-cancer. I just talked to him yesterday, we were going to get together so I could give him the Thai Hot Peppers I’d grown for him. He was hoping badly that the UAW would end the strike—he worked in a trucking facility GM related—so he could get off his butt and get back to...

Yesterday was an off day at the Cobb household, as Masha and I opened champagne and gorged on lasagna to celebrate our twentieth anniversary.

As I woke up this morning, the pre-coffee savage in me said, "Make a skybox, lazybones!" I listened, and did so. Today's skybox is featured over Modern Woodman Park. I hope you all enjoy it! Off to make coffee now...and there's leftover lasagna.

Today's skybox features a front and back facing version, as when I went to put it behind Bonneville Park (thanks, stadium modelers!) the balloons were in the back, but rendering as usual should have put them in front. Lesson learned...some people orient their stadiums differently. Either way, hot air balloons over the outfield fences.

I've been quiet of late, I know. Should have a couple new skyboxes tomorrow...hope, hope. I've been busier than expected moving to the new computer. I'm crushed that Virtual Box does not support Windows emulation on the M2 chips, so time will need to be spent turning one of my older iMac's into a Wintel box. No platform flame intended. There ARE things on Windows that have not made it to Mac's yet. I just have my preference, and as a cranky old man, I am set in my ways!
