Dial Up ...

I’m at the Cape and using a dial up connection. How slow. I put up today’s Photo-A-Day and see that comments are coming it for many of the pictures. Glad to see that.

Today I came home from Kansas City, MO. I decided to use my upgrades to get some first class seats. Since I can;t use the upgrades with the airline miles I figured I might as well try when I can. And I got upgraded for both legs of the flight. It was nice. Not the greatest landing in PVD, but at least we didn’t skid off the runway into a ditch.

I then drove to the Cape, headed to the beach and spent some time with Mom and Dad. I read some more of Bearing an Hourglass. I’m trying to finish it so I can start A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett. And that has to be read at the beach. It’s a rule.

I went and saw the Dukes of Hazzard tonight. It was the case of the trailer being way cooler than the movie itself. However, I did really like the racing scenes and the nods to the original series.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
