So, uhhhh, Happy 2016 I guess?

So pretty, likely has no reason to be on this site..

 

Wow, it’s been a long time since we posted a blog article, and for no good damn reason I assure you aside from laziness.  Hoping to address that and make amends by producing more content on a semi-regular schedule, but no promises since that has happened before.

 

So saying “Happy New Year” to everyone is our first order of business.  We at HH wish you all much health, happiness, wealth, success and hysteria in the New Year.  2015 was a good year for me personally, with the health of my family being great and no small amount of financial success as well.  Holiday debt is a thing for sure, but Ladyblade has assured me a new budget is coming for 2016 in order to get us on track and making strides in paying off our household debt and saving for a bright future for our beloved little Dragonspawn.  Home improvements, savings, a vacation in the UK to coincide with Star Wars Celebration 2016 and more family travel are all good reasons to plan for a future and take steps to stick to said plan in order to reap the rewards.  However I doubt you are here to read about my plans to save money in 2016, I assume you are here for the Hysteria of my Hobbies and interests, which I am only too happy to provide.

Steampunk Bunny seemed appropriate, no?

 

It’s been a while, and anyone wondering where we’ve been at Hobby Hysteria, well, I won’t bore you with the details but let it be known we’re aware we’ve been gone for a while.  For me, Swimming Pool season is finally here after one of the longest, harshest winters in my 38 years of life.  Ice storms, Polar Vortexes, Cold booms and the unrelenting assault of snowfall after snowfall had my industry very worried.  Thankfully the warmer weather has begun and we can get out there and get some things done.  Like this, for instance:

 

This is how a pool should look when you peel the cover off...

I opened this pool Saturday and was pleased to see that the winter had been easy on this pool; very little debris, just some sand and silt on the bottom that needed to be vacuumed up, and when I was finished it looked even better.

 

A little cloudy but clean and ready for heat and swimming!

Shocked, tested and balanced, and ready to be used once it warms up (the water was around 40 degrees, or 4C, when I took this photo).

I guess what I am saying is thanks for understanding, for being patient, and for reading anything we post up here when we do get around to it.   I promise there is more coming this week, with a submission from a good friend even!!

Happy Easter Monday, and keep on being Hysterical!

The Mother of Invention

We’d be remiss here if we didn’t take a minute to give thanks, and offer love and support, to all the Mothers, Wives, Partners and Significant Others who make our lives complete, who give us the love and comfort we desire and also allow us to pursue our passions and be hysterical about out hobbies.

Whethert the mother of your children, the muse who inspires your paint schemes or the one who graciously allows us our days away to play in events and games with our friends and peer groups, today is a great day to celebrate the partners we love and thank them for their love and support.

Happy Mother’s Day!

To Ladyblade I would have to say you are the very best Mother I know, an excellent example for our daughter to aspire to and a wonderful friend and partner to me, and for that I thank you and love you always and forever, not just on Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day all, make sure you take some time to thank the one you love, the one who raised you, or the one who inspires you daily.

Paint something for the partner you love, I for one am going to open a box of Mice and see if Ladyblade wants to paint later today.
