I will have a couple updates today on my 3D Viper. Although I am not able to sit very long I will try to move forward. :)

Here is a final update. I am still trying to sit at my computer and be functional. Hard to do with my medication. But I am trying. :)

Looks like I have finally passed a majority of the stones from my kidney. All I have left are smaller pieces and they are going to put me out to take this tube out of me on Monday. I don't look forward to it but I do just so I can start to pee normal again.

On the plus side that means I may actually be able to take my vacation, when I am not sure but I think once the tube is out I can start planning it. There is hope still that I will be able to take one. :)

More Updates as small as they are. 20 minute sessions.

Here is one quick render in 3D of the Viper. No textures yet, those will come later one.

Here is another update of my progress.. Slowly it will take shape...slowly

The main reason I am going slow on this is because I am still recovering from my Kidney Stone operation that ended up with some complications that are being taken care of bit by bit. When you end up with a Kidney Stone almost 1/2 inch in diameter and the Doctors even say that is large, you end up having things done to your bladder and kidney that don't feel good. Thus when I try to sit down for any length of time it causes me pain after 20 minutes and if I don't go to the bathroom every 20 minutes it just gets to be too much.

This is why it is taking me a while plus with the medication I am on to cut the pain, it almsot makes it impossible for me to concentrate on what I am doing. But I try. Monday I have some surgery to remove the junk they have in me and I get to heal up normally. Then I will make a lot more progress each day or every other day. I plan on finishing this Viper Model but I need to let you all know it is going to take a long time because it is so detailed and there are things I don't know and will need to work on to make it look right in 3D.

I thought I would just share with you what this model should look similar to when it is done. Here is a finished image from one of the guides I am using to make this one.

I had to find Jerry a play buddy today. He has been moping around the house for almost three weeks now and it was really looking like he was just giving up and just being a slug. Sooooo... Super Little Black Kitty, very friendly, likes to be held and will let you rub his tummy and kneed the air and lick your hand while your doing it.

Jerry doesn't know what to make of it but isn't putting up a fight right now. Lets hope he gets used to the little kitty attacking him at night. :)

I updated my Blogging software to the latest version. Testing it out.. If I don't find any problems we will be set for smooth sailing.

Hmmmm.. this is an update... Looks like after I rebuilt my pages it wiped out all the customization I had on it.... UGH!!!!!..... What this means is that I am going to have to learn where to insert my custom stuff with this new update. May take a while... Arghhhhh!!!!

I feel so dumb... Asked MT for help after I did the upgrade and when they told me how to fix it I was like.... "Wow I coulda had a V8" LOL

Seems like everything is back to normal now. Will run some tests but I think things are up and running now.

Feels good to be doing something productive although I am a little slow... But I am back at work instead of being on drugs and in pain 24/7.

Well I had some payments left on my existing car and went to the dealership to look at the Altima.... Not to buy one but just to see what one looked like up close. Next thing I know the dealer is handing me the keys and tells me to take it for a drive and come back later. So I took it on the Highway and the City Streets and all over. By the time I got back to the dealer I was like "Wow this car handles great and has a lot of power for a machine with good gas milage. 22 in the city and 29 on the highway. A lot better than my Xterra, 11 in the city and 20 on the highway.

Here is a picture of what mine looks like. Got this off the Net but it is the same color as mine.

Look for some small updates to the Viper Project this weekend.
