To Hell with the ship, that is the most anatomically correct cat model I have every seen!

Ha! I have been told, that I have an affinity with pussies ........
Well, not now. Because it is NOT finished yet.
(OK, yes, you CAN, and I think I know where the journey is going! )

Thank you both.
And yes. R-F, you are correct and intuitive ; IT AIN'T OVER YET!
But,....
Do you really know where this is going? :wideyed:
'cause I don't. ...
...and I think I know where the journey is going!
OK, you may be correct, but it all depends on train tracks .....................
I will leave you to ponder on that .........

Re: Tinnitus,
I have it too. One day, OSHA came into Sikorsky and measured the sound, it was 118 decibels, and that was a relatively quiet day. I kind of have found my Tinnitus to be my life's Talisman. I was laying in the hospital, near death, and I kept thinking the last sound I am going to hear is that sound to Beep Beep Beep go to just one long tone, then I wondered if it would harmonize with my Tinnitus, which happens to be a slightly really off the charts flat "A", on the music scale. Definitely nowhere near B flat though, almost a perfect "A". I was able to figure this out with my Violin. You're not alone, which by the way, the most horrid of feelings. I only discovered that when I suffered Full Global Amnesia, for two days, do to almost suffocating to death in my sleep. Crazy, eh!?!

WOW! I have a high-pitched whining in my left ear and some static like the noise from a distant highway in my right one. In most cases it is triggered by stress. I have learnt to live with it and changed my life after it first appeared (less stress, more time for myself, enough sleep, extended walks etc.). That helped a lot; I barely notice it today.

Like I stated earlier, I came to live with mine, and it is pretty loud. I used to think that if someone put their ear on my head, they might hear it, it seems so loud at times. The sound helps me locate sounds from other places, like in the woods at night. The Tinnitus comes from everywhere, but the odd noise sticks out like a sore thumb.
As we are on the subject, me too! About 15 years I have had it now. It all began when a woman kissed me really hard and loud, right in the earhole! It did a lot of pain at the instant. I was relatively deaf in the ear for about 2 days. I now have a constant very high-pitched singing whine ever since. But, as Zathros also said, I too have very acute hearing, and hear things that a lot of other people don't. Which is handy at times...
But,.............
Discovery, sits forlornly waiting .............................
The display case sits fragmentarily waiting ................
And yes, I sit frustratedly waiting .............
And, all three of us, are waiting, mainly, on the bloody weather!!!!!!!
And they call this summer???????? It's more like autumn at the moment!
And have we had some weather! On Saturday we had a hell of a storm. Amsterdam was bought to a standstill. No public transport, apart from a very reduced train service. Trees fell on the overhead cables for the trams, so that was end of service for the whole system. No busses. It was chaos, to say the least.
And this one made me wince.... A Porsche Cayenne-S :meh:
The display case is the centre of attention at the moment. I have done all the construction, filled everything with 2 part filler, accurately measured out and drilled the holes for the wiring and suspension lines and everything is now waiting for me to get the parts outside and sand and paint them. Weather permitting...... :sour:
For the backdrop, I chose a hi-res picture from the web and edited it to what I want. The picture below is scale size.
I sent it to the printers on Friday last week.
I went to collect it this afternoon. I was not impressed with the quality at all. Lines on it from the print stroke of the print head every 3cm or so. It looked like striped wallpaper.
So, that killed my plan of attaching it to the backing board tonight .....
And another two days wait for the second attempt........ Ho-hum. Hope they get it right this time!
But, on the bright side, the forecast for the end of the week is looking much better.
But, this is the Netherlands, and that can all change real quick ......... :wideyed:
Will keep you posted ....

Now that both of you mention it, my hearing is superior as well, but it always has been. I guess we all should not be worried unless anyone of us starts hearing a certain Bob Dylan song nobody else is hearing.
The storm was pretty heavy here, too, but it was not as powerful as "Norina" five years ago. That one was pretty devastating; it lasted only for half an hour but it destroyed several trees, fields, cars etc. I have some impressive pictures which make for good story-telling and which look almost exactly like yours. Here is what google says:

I confirm your weather forecast; it is supposed to get better soon. Next week should become splendid and sunny.
Too bad about the printing quality. I can imagine how it looks and I hate it when that happens. If I had a printer which could handle an endless sheet of paper I would print it for you.
I'm looking forward to the next update!
