	As of 8:44 pm all the reflective stripes were on Moonie's uniform. All that's left is replacing the "No Ghost" patch which will probably take a couple of days and "hopefully" won't put me back in the thumb stabilizer. Then I'll get started on Spirit's uniform.

	There's a guy on Facebook/in England who is doing very good work making 3-D printer files for various pieces of GB:ATC equipment. He's selling the files and for an additional charge, he'll print them for you. Yeah, I'm gonna get the files as soon as I have my financial ducks lined up. As for having him print them, considering the number I need, breaking down and getting a 3-D printer could turn out to be cost effective. Skywise and I will have to discuss it and do some price checking.

	Just did some quick and dirty currency conversion and it looks like getting our own 3-D printer might be the cheaper way to go.

	Moonie's uniform is almost done! It doesn't feel like I'll need the thumb stabilizer this time. I guess the "sewing muscles" in my hand are back in condition. Skywise is going to look at the above mentioned ATC equipment. No decision on getting our own printer yet. For that big a cash outlay, much research and discussion is needed.

	Looking at 3-d printers on Amazon and I've pulled out my copy of Make: Getting Started with 3-D Printing With what we need and how MUCH we need 3-d printed, getting our own printer looks VERY cost effective......

	Okay. I finally got Spirit and Skywise into their uniforms. sigh The sleeves on Skywise's uniform are "regular" length. He takes a "long" so I'm going to have to think of something to fix that. Spirit's uniform barely fits. She has a long torso to start with and she's carrying a little too much weight about her middle which makes everything tight. Add to that, you can't get out of them without help. I've decided that when we need new uniforms, I'm going to make them. It's the only way if you don't have an "average, standard sized" body.

	I picked up a couple of blank journals with plain black covers to use as props a Ghostbuster's production -- the private journals of paranormal researchers/investigators of days gone by as it were. I was also looking for a thick, oversized book with a unlettered, dull gray or black cover that I could as a Roylance Guide. No luck there but I'll keep my eyes open and pick things up as I find them so I'll have them when I need them.

	I started on Spirit's uniform today and immediately ran into a problem. It's not an ENORMOUS problem but it is a pain in the posterior! In other news, I have two copies of a pattern I can use to make Skywise's uniform. It will need modification but not too much and since I'm planning on the uniforms we have to last a couple of years, Ghostbuster Gods willing and nothing catastrophic happens, I'll have time to work everything out. The rest of us aren't going to be that easy to outfit. I have copies of a pattern that's "almost". The problem is that Spirit needs a size two sizes larger than the pattern comes in. Or at least, I don't think it comes in a bigger size and since it's a decades old pattern I'm not likely to find any more of them in ANY size. Fortunately, the "official" uniforms consist of two pieces, the top and the bottom just like this pattern. So I can use the assembly instructions (with some adjustments) to make a uniform that fits her using a pants pattern that fits and a shirt pattern that fits. I'll do the same for myself and most likely for Moonie. The back probably won't look exactly the same although I may have another old pattern that I can use for that but since the backs of the official uniforms are usually hid under proton packs, I'm not gonna worry about it! The last thing I did today was track down a pattern for a "boot bag" that I bought so far back in time it's not funny. I KNOW I bought it back in the day -- like around 40 years ago -- but I can't find it! It could be here, it could be up at the Guest House. I've searched the basement three times and I can't find it. That doesn't mean that it isn't down there, only that I can't find it so when I found it on online, I BOUGHT THAT SUCKER! So I will have a garment bag for my uniform (and all the others) and a boot bag that will protect them from dust, slime and cat barf!

	I haven't worked on Spirit's uniform today but I did two loads of "gotta get it done!" laundry and ran a full dishwasher load of dishes so barring something unforeseen, I'll be able to put in HOURS on it tomorrow. I also framed one of the three GB posters I have. Now I just need somewhere to hang it.....

	It's time to get prone so I'm gonna use my "prone time" to work on Spirit's uniform. Be back later.

	I pushed it and got all the reflective stripes put on the legs of Spirit's uniform. If I haven't ruined my right hand, I'll start on the sleeve stripes tomorrow. Once those and the chest stripes are done, I'll get the patches put on since they are a snap compared to the stripes.

So I'll order those boots sometime before the end of the week. I picked up some blank business card sheets today so I can run off the new (simple) design to have when recruiting starts which I'm hoping will be before spring....

	The first arm stripe is on. Currently taking a quick sandwich break before I start on the second one. If I can hold out, I could get them all on tonight. One down, three to go.

	All sleeve stripes are on. Tomorrow I'll start on the chest/back stripes which are the hardest to do. Right now, I'm going to rest before I get something to eat.

	I've finished sewing for the night. I did the middle of the top stripe and around to the front on one side. I'll do the same tomorrow on the bottom stripe and maybe get both sides. I'm leaving the stripe that goes over the pocket for last because it is a to do. Then I'll do the patches and be done.

	I'm going to head out and start working on Spirit's uniform in a few minutes. I hope to have it done before Tuesday.

	Well, I thought I was going to have it done... The patches and left side stripes are all that's left but when I put the uniform back on the hanger for the night, one of the buttons -- which is put on like a jean button -- came off in my hand so now I have to find what I need to fix it. IF I can fix it without having to replace all the buttons......

	I haven't done any sewing yet today -- too much other stuff to do -- so I'll work on Spirit's uniform tomorrow. I still don't know what I'll do about that button.....

	My GB boots are in Indianapolis. I don't know if they'll be delivered tomorrow or not but I figure to have them Wednesday at the absolute latest. THEN I'll know if they're going to fit or not.....

	My boots are NOT in Indianapolis. Or rather they were until FedEX sent them to Independence, Kentucky! At 11:48 am, they left Independence. I have NO idea where they're going next. I am NOT a happy camper.... On a somewhat more optimistic note, I've found fabric -- online -- that I'm familiar with that "should" do for GB uniforms. I'm not going to get it now but I will as soon as I have enough $$$ to spare to get enough for all four of us. I'd like to get a couple of years' worth of wear out of the ones I bought before I replace them. That may not be possible but that's the goal. Besides, I'm going to need time to make the patterns since I'm going to have to combine several to get what I want....

	Boots are still "somewhere". No idea where. I've been looking for information on how to sew a "bi-swing" back which is what the uniforms have and I've had NO luck. Furthermore, I'm beginning to suspect that the ones on the uniforms are fakes. They don't seem to work like they're supposed to. If that's the case, it would explain why they are so hard to get out of. I found a Dickie's men's coverall that's almost the right color. If Skywise's uniform turns out to be too uncomfortable for him, we'll get one and I'll customize it for him.

	Well, my boots are STILL in transit from Independence to "somewhere". Maybe they'll light in a FedEx facility soon and I'll know where they are. For the record, the USPS doesn't know where they are either. In other news, we've figured out why the uniforms are so hard to get into and out off. The "bi-swing" backs are fake. They're supposed to give you extra room but they're sewn shut so... no extra room.
