New password system at work means I have to set a new password. I do so. I go to log into to the system and it says "Wrong password" I try again, carefully. "Wrong password" Once more, "Locked out". I go through the process reset my password "Cannot be the same as a recent password".

First fun TFCon story that isn’t transformers related. Driving back from dinner and in dense traffic I had to squeeze in to try and turn left and the guy behind me didn’t appreciate that and started flashing his lights like a disco. I can’t make my turn with the timing left so kept going straight.

Angry with myself this morning. Flying out and while in the TSA line realized I still had my knife and multitool on me. So those got surrendered.

Hey, so... Guess who has two thumbs and just spent a half hour on the phone with a Jury Duty Notice Scammer? THIS GUY! He had just enough information about me to make it seem reasonable and then whammied me with the 10K in surety bond money that I'd need to prevent it from becoming a real problem.

Dear Amazon. You know I just bought a tripod off of you. Do you think I'm some sort of tripod collector that wants every color variation of the same tripod I just got delivered?

Metal Cardbot has such an Armada/Energon/Cybertron feel and I love the hand feel.

MAN ON MAN did I just have fun on a cold call. I've got a 0% APR loan on the HVAC system I had installed last year. That company just called me asking if I wanted to talk to one of their loan specialists about getting a better deal.

Just about got into a fight at the grocery store by a man with chihuahua syndrome. I’ve parked my car and I’m crossing the lot when a BMW swerves past a car on a speed bump and pulls the wrong way across a handicap parking spot.

Waiting on a phone call for a concrete leveling crew that’s now 3 hours behind schedule. Get a call from an unlisted number asking if they could contract out for any Microsoft Office or Copilot services. After the whiplash I had to say “No, and why are you calling me?”

Early morning flights from conventions suck. Bad sleep and hard to say goodbye to friends. So goodbye friends and hope you get better sleep than I did.

Enjoyed a post convention meal and debrief with friends and I’m ready for a nap.

Walking by Artfire’s booth doing one last TFCon lap and random guy behind the table let me know that “These are all from JAPAN! Did you know that some things didn’t release in the US?”

3 or 4 hours later and Craftsman Toys Computron is combined. It does a lot of neat tricks with fold flip shift fold other way and flip back panels. But it’s staying this way. Also, every figure’s left shoulder squeaked. Including the combined mode.

thanks for coming by if you were able! this went longer than either of us expected, but it was a lot of fun, and surprisingly painful for the architecturally inclined the vod needed a handful of edits but I believe they have fully taken, so feel free to check it out at your leisure ✨
