Weekly Rambling #79

By SouthernStar71 | SouthernStar71 | 21 Jun 2025


Hello everyone.

This past week, I've been busy playing mobile games on my phone and a couple of PC games. They have been for Grabtap. https://grabtap.com/c/southernstar71 It has been more profitable than Swagbucks. https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/gefr71?rp=1 I still do games through Swagbucks. They are different than what is available through Grabtap. You can help me out by using those links and playing. It does nothing to affect your earnings.

So far this week I've built a double BrickHeadz set with plans to build another double set. I do really enjoy the BrickHeadz sets. This thing I like the most is that they have no stickers. Any piece that would need a sticker is printed instead. This makes assembly of them to be a joy. I did place an order during the Double Insiders Points event they just had. What I had done is to put off ordering the June 1st sets that I wanted. Ideally they would have also been discounted, but DIP is what I got. Again, I only get what I like. I don't let any other factors impact what I get.

I finally did an order through Gaahleri. https://lnk.rise-ai.com/3ZgmqBR9dwN1MOi I bought the Serenair and the Mobius-TG. The Serenair is a tankless  compressor/standard airbrush combo. The Mobius-TG is a pistol-grip(trigger style) airbrush. The standard airbrush comes with two needles. The Mobius-TG only comes with the 0.5 mm needle. I think I will prefer the pistol-grip over the standard. Having both styles will let me figure out which I'm better with. I've never used an airbrush before. I'm a bit excited about doing so. I'm going to do some scale modeling. I have 3 car kits that I'm going to start with. Tanks keep calling out to me. If the cars go well, I might do some tanks. 

I still need a spray booth as well as paints. Pretty sure I know which spray booth I am going to purchase. As for paints, I have 3 brands I'm choosing between. Water-based acrylics seem to have won out at this point. I just want to be as sure as I can be before I sink a lot of money into paints. I do like to make a decision and stick with it. I want to be correct for me in my choice of paint.

Ordered a new microphone Friday. It should get here Monday. Hopefully, it works out well for me. It is a Blue Yeti. I think it is one of there better microphones. I got it using my Amazon Gift Card balance that I had accrues through playing games on my mobile phone. Swagbucks and Grabtap are to thank for that. I do YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthernStar71 and while my current microphone is OK, a new and different style microphone make sense. 

The spawning mop that I got through the mail has worked so far. I have several Medaka fry in a container that I am currently trying to get them to a certain length before I transfer them to a tank. They will be going into a tank with 6 Pygmy Corydoras and some snails. Hopefully things continue as they have been and the Medaka get to be big enough to add to the tank.

That seems to be what I did this past week. I'm still hodling my crypto. I will hold it until I need to get some cash. Ideally that won't be the case for several more years. 

Thanks for reading. If you enjoy gaming on your phone, please use the links for Swagbucks and Grabtap. There are a few PC games on Grabtap too. Also, please sub to my YouTube channel. Lastly, if you have enjoyed this, leave a tip.
