You know e-paw, at the moment I'd gladly trade you right about now....living in the tropics isn't all it's cracked up to be. I actually miss weather like that, of course we have "weather" here that I lament (hurricanes, summer heat that's in a word oppressive, and the like.)
I guess being told "the grass is greener" doesn't really help when you're stuck, but I would take some consolation in the fact that many of us who can physically get to the hobby shop are in much the same boat, but only because the hobby shops are "out" of what we need (and have been for weeks) or no longer carry the things we're looking for (supposidly because "no one is interested in that stuff", I guess I'm "no one"
.)
In any event, it looks like a good day to work on one of those projects you've been putting off for a while.
