Default Lost - Then Found!

You guys who Facebox may have already seen this. Cut the grass today and came in to cool off in the rocket room. While I was in there sweating I happened to look up at an area that usually sits below the lights and I noticed two boxes that I hadn't realized were up there. The Frick n Frack was a giveaway from NSL 2007 in Muncie. The Mini Bomarc is one of the BMS Clone of the Month offerings from around the same time. I can't tell you how many times I've torn up my cabinets, desk and file cabinets looking for these two birds. I knew they were somewhere, and it turns out I was right.

Sometimes, hiding in plain sight is the very best camouflage.

It happens more often than I like to admit.

I've discovered that the best way to find something is to look for something else.

Nice find! I *think* I still have an FSI Viking from the BMS clone of the month club but I still haven’t unearthed it.

Nothing worse than knowing you have something and can't find it - drives you crazy!!!

Been there, done that! And the thing I've been looking for always turns up when I'm not looking for it.

I wish I could find the clone kit because the two or so FSI kits I've seen on eBay lately the pricing is really up there for an original. I miss the BMS clone of the month club. That was a really cool deal.
