The ULTIMATE accessory

Well, it was only a matter of time. I took the plunge and underwent LASIK surgery on my eyes. Best money I've EVER spent on anything. My vision has been restricting my employment opportunities (in Law Enforcement) for years now. So, this has re-opened a whole new world of possibilities. Stay Tuned!


In addition, I can now suit up as Vader or a Stormtrooper without having to worry about squeezing my eyeglasses into the bucket, or fogging them up, or even worse...breaking them!


The healing process was incredibly short and simple. I was driving and back to work the very next morning. No pain at all, from the moment I left the operating room. Overall, it took about 2 minutes per eye. I'd recommend it to everyone who is considering it!

Not exactly R2 related

Since I'm still waiting on my dome, I figured I might as well update you on my other character...Darth Vader. The full "soft parts" for my suit were ordered back in October of 2008. In early January, 2009, the Cape, Robe and Suit arrived. Everything seemed perfect until I tried to get the cape around the shoulders of my armor and helmet neck. NO WAY! It wouldn't fit. So, I emailed the manufacturer and had it returned for adjustment in late January, 2009.

I just received an e-mail from them stating the modifications were complete and the cape is on its way back to me. Finally!

Skins Run!!!

Woo hoo!!!! The Sherrill Aluminum Skins run has begun!!!! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

REALLY quiet

I hate the idea that it's so quiet here, but not much is happening. Still waiting on my dome. Keep checking!

Special Shout-out of Thanks!

Thanks goes out to Ed for allowing me to take the photos of his R2 which is what I used to make my banner at the top of the blog. THANKS ED!

Quick Update

Not much going on right now. Watching the forum parts runs, waiting on my dome, saving cash for purchases, etc.

Resin parts

I'm waiting to hear back from my resin parts supplier to send a payment and begin work on the dome.


Oh, and I haven't received me dome yet, but it's coming. I'll probably receive it sometime in early April '09.
