With all this free time opened up in my schedule, why not update the ol&#8217; website?<\/p>\n<p>First, some not so great news. My sister was recently in a <a href=\"http:\/\/fox59.com\/2015\/01\/27\/one-person-killed-in-hancock-co-car-accident\/\">serious auto accident<\/a> that resulted in a rather badly broken leg. Fortunately, she and my brother-in-law both survived, and my sister is on the mend. It will be months before she has fully recovered, though. I just thank God that their injuries weren&#8217;t more serious.<\/p>\n<p>On a different, somewhat happier note, over on my other blog I&#8217;ve finally gotten around to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manbattlestations.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/02\/fatal-choices-book-review\/\">writing a review<\/a> of the book &#8220;Fatal Choices: Wargames, Decisions, and Destiny in the 1914 Battles of Coronel and Falklands&#8221; by my good friend Seth Owen. This book is a unique way to explore history using wargaming, which as you might imagine is something that I am all about! Please take a look.<\/p>\n<p>So, for the rest of the day, I don&#8217;t have a whole lot planned&#8230;I&#8217;m looking forward to spending some time with Gwen, playing a couple of video games, and also working on some of my models. I&#8217;m back to work on my Terran fleet for Firestorm Armada, by Spartan Games. This shot shows my progress on some new Destroyers and Frigates:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-01-31-18.02.12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-536\" alt=\"2015-01-31 18.02.12\" src=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-01-31-18.02.12-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-01-31-18.02.12-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-01-31-18.02.12-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>I&#8217;ll have some more pictures posted once I have these babies finished.
