Late Post ...

I hate full service Marriotts. Why? I’ll tell you why, it makes absolutely no sense to go into a cheaper Marriott owned facility and get free high speed wireless or wired Internet, but then have to pay $9.95 a day for the Internet at a Full Service Marriott. What is the sense in that. Oh because we charge more for you to stay we’ll give you LESS in amenities. It sucks! And at this Marriott that I am in Kansas City, MO they are even charging you to use the modem in your room to make a toll free call. 

So that is why I am writing this post on the laptop but can’t post it until tomorrow (which is now today.) But I actually got it to work (through the high speed, I’ll probably be charged for it.) I even shot a photo for Photo-A-Day that I could not post. I was tempted to drive over to another hotel and use the wireless in the lobby of the other hotel but that would just be too much of a hassle. So again through no fault of my own the Photo-A-Day was almost late, and that annoys me. I know that the rules of Photo-A-Day are self imposed but it still bugs me.

Okay that was some of the annoying stuff, there was some good stuff today too. I stopped at Blue Springs Harley Davidson and picked up 3 pins. One for me, one for Dad and one for my friend John’s Dad. They had a great selection of bikes there. And they actually had a halfway decent pin.

Tonight we went to Ted’s Montana Grill. We sat directly under the Buffalo head. Ted’s is owned by Ted Turner. Very interesting place. I had braised bison short ribs. And I also picked up a pin from there too.

I also had some great beer from Boulevard Brewing Co. of Kansas City, MO, it was like a Hefeweizen. It was called Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer. Good stuff.

I got online through high speed, will probably have to pay for it. But I’m on now so what the heck.

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.
