Photo-A-Day #200 10/25/05

Wow 200 photos. This means I have 165 photos left to go this year. This has been a great project and lots of fun.

I am in Baxter, Minnesota. The photo pretty much sums it up. I was up at 4:45 this morning checking the flights at PVD and making sure I would be flying out this later that morning. My flight from PVD to ORD was fine. I was in a window and had no one next to me in the middle seat. Then I flew from ORD to FAR, the flight was delayed a bit but we eventually got going. I was next to nervous leg shaking guy the whole way but luckily I fell asleep a few times. 

When I landed in Fargo, North Dakota I got in the rental car and headed for Baxter, Minnesota. The directions said 3 hours and 39 minutes. Luckily that was an overestimate, However I did not get to Baxter till about 4:00pm central. So I have essentially covered hundreds maybe over a thousand miles sitting in a cabin on my butt today. My demo is first thing in the morning and then a ride back to Fargo for an early flight on Wednesday morning. Glamorous, I know.

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...

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.

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.
