I received my Concealed Weapon Permit in today’s mail. It only took a couple of days longer than the 90 days they promised, I had hoped it would arrive this week but I wasn’t necessarily expecting it to arrive. It doesn’t mean I’ll be carrying a gun everywhere I go but it does mean that a loaded gun will likely remain in my car at all times and I’ll be more likely to slip one in my pocket for some things, like a visit to an ATM or taking the dog out for a nighttime walk.

I had an enjoyable visit to North Carolina Saturday. Met some old friends and even a couple of friends I have only exchanged e-mails and hobby forum conversations with. There were some gorgeous model cars on display, I didn’t bring any of mine but I took lots of photographs.









This last one was built by the man I traveled with, he used decals that I had created artwork for:





I purchased a couple of things but the only thing of note was a hand-cast kit to produce a model of the 1971 AMC Hornet SC-360. I love oddball cars and few things are more oddball than that one.
