Since my last post I've designed and bought the parts for more equipment both inside and outside of our Ecto. Today, I found a deal on a vintage oscilloscope.  Smiley I don't know if it works -- the seller says it comes on when plugged in -- bit since it's a "prop" it doesn't matter that much if it doesn't work. Another thing -- or things actually -- are some faceplates for electronic gear that we can use to make more props, specifically "control panels" for various Ghostbusting devices. I'm still looking for a vintage stereo am/fm radio receiver to use for a Ghost Box. So far I haven't found anything that has the "look" that I want... but I'll keep looking.

Sony has announced and Variety has confirmed that Afterlife will have a sequel. No details yet but I expect that will be announced when the deals are done.  Smiley They did kinda leave the door -- or the containment unit -- open at the end of Afterlife.

Skywise hasn't called and Facebook -- or at least the Ghostbusters part of it -- is chasing its tail over Sony's announcement  Smiley so I'm going to head out.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and stay calm.

Found out tonight that the Ghostbusters New Employee Welcome Kit is still available and Amazon has it.
Guess what I'll be ordering as soon as I refill my Netspend card.....

Found a van tonight that I'd definitely want to look at for our Ecto -- if I had $5,000 -- which I don't.

I do have all the major parts to put in it, either purchased or ready to build.
*sigh* All I need is money....

I received a patch today for Skywise's uniform but I don't quite like it so I hunted through ebay and after more than an hour, I found a vendor that will make one like I want -- I hope -- and I ordered it. The vendor is in Canada so it may take a while.

HAPPY SCREAM 2!!


Sony has announced the release date for "Firehouse" a.k.a. (in this house anyway) Afterlife Part 2. Subject to change -- of course -- it will be out on December 20, 2023! 
Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley

We should have all our uniforms by then, maybe our Ecto van and I'm hoping that my legs will be fixed by then too and Skywise may be retired by then.
I shall have to figure out how many days that is and start a "countdown" of some kind.....  Smiley

I've been trying to order some reflective trim from the vendor I used the last time I needed this product. I fill in the order but it won't let me check out. Says I need to fill in all the required fields. I have filled in the required fields so, unless there is a field I haven't noticed, their software is glitchy. They sent me an email reminding me to check out. I tried to reply but, naturally, my reply was "undeliverable".  Smiley I've used their "contact us" twice and I even tracked them down on facebook and sent them a message there. *sigh* I'll try again tomorrow.

STILL trying to place that order.
I've made another attempt to contact them about the problem.

FINALLY got the order placed. Someone at the vendor changed my password so I could complete the order. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive. Considering the aggravation of the last three days, they should put a "Rush" on it!

Both yesterday -- at United Art and Education -- and today -- at Hardee's -- people saw and commented on the Ghostbusters patches on the vests that the girls and I wear. Moonie was already in the Hardee's when Skywise and I walked in and one of the counter girls said: "It's the Ghostbusters!" Smiley
I wonder what will happen when we really put ourselves out there.....

I've counted out the price for the girls' uniforms. I'll put it on the Netspend card on Tuesday. I'll have to corral them long enough to get their measurements so when the vendor asks for them, I can send them promptly.
Skywise has no idea where his old uniform is or what he did with it. *sigh* If it isn't where it "should" be, it's where it "shouldn't" be and that covers a lot of territory around here. Smiley

I've finally finished putting the patches on my new uniform. The trim finally came this week and I was able to finish it up over the last couple of days. AND... Spirit, our "Finder of Mislaid Things" found her father's previous uniform so I know what to do for his new one when it comes. Hint: Everything!!

Just found a custom patch that is small enough and ordered it with Ghostbusters International on it. I hope it comes soon and works like I want it too.

Not leaving well enough alone, I ordered another option consisting of two separate patches.

It's currently 86 degrees outside. Photography "may" have to wait.

Facebook has taken down the second Answer the Call facebook group page. Another one has been started. I told the gal running it that she probably should start looking into WordPress.

Been working on a Ghostbusters WordPress site that will eventually be a sub-domain of Sanctuary. I'm paying for it after all, so why not? I'm sure HostMonster will help me get it installed.
Also, I've finally gotten the email from Magnoli Clothiers with the instructions for the measurements they want for the rest of the family's uniforms. Since what they want now is different from what they wanted when I ordered mine, the measurements I had for Skywise and the girls will have to be redone. At least their heights haven't changed.....

Now that a certain "medical" question has been resolved and is off my mind, I've come up with something else to chew on.
The purpose of SCI GB -- aside from socializing and having fun -- is to raise money for various charities. SCI GB will also need to obtain money for operating expenses and supplies needed for appearances and....... since MONEY is involved, the IRS must be appeased. What form and how much that "appeasement" will take is the question currently running through my head like a speed-fueled hamster on a wheel.
Yes, I'm getting a headache.  Smiley
I know that a checking account, a debit card and maybe a credit card will be needed for basic operations but what else?
Account books? Of course.
Official forms? What kind?
Tax filings? Where's Louis Tully when you need him?
Maybe one of our "recruits" will be a tax lawyer.... *Much more  Smiley *

I haven't made any headway on the tax question so I chased Skywise down and got his measurements for his uniform. That just leaves the girls.
I also took the reflective trim and patches off of Moonie's uniform. I'll keep them tucked away safe until we get her new uniform which should be some time in March. If I don't get these measurements in soon, it may be April!

Looking at cosplay reference books. At present, I can't think of being anyone but a Ghostbuster but props and accessories will need to be made and that type of reference books are where I'm most likely to find the instructions I'll need. Thinking ATC shin guards, wrist guards and probably other things that will likely show up in Firehouse.
So.... adding to my Amazon browsing list....

We got the word today. Our uniforms are in the "Production Queue" and are scheduled to be shipped in March.  Smiley Smiley If things go like we hope, Skywise will have had his second surgery by then and "could" be well along in his rehab. My surgery isn't scheduled yet -- obviously! -- but we should have our uniforms in time the opening weekend of "Ghostbusters: Firehouse".

The "rocker" and bar patches I ordered for the uniforms came today and they are gorgeous! I'll need to finish putting them on my uniform and record the specifications for when the rest of our uniforms arrive. I'm also going to use them to design a GBI logo -- there isn't one now -- and post it on the Ghostbusters International facebook page and see what people think. I'm also going to make a color scan of the "larger than usual" No Ghost patch we use -- with measurements -- so that I can have more made for our members when we have some recruits.
