Outboard Motors ...

Outboard Motors

Photo-A-Day #235 11/29/05

Outboard motors again? I hate to use the subject matter two days in a row but tonight when I got to Mesquite, Texas I had dinner at Posado’s. Outside on the porch at the entrance to the restaurant I was amused to find about 15 outboard motors lined up as decorations. I really don’t know what outboard motors and mexican food have in common but It made for another interesting picture.

So today I drove from Camden, Arkansas to Mesquite, Texas. I made a stop in Texarkana at Doolin’s Harley Davidson and picked up some pins and a children’s book called “Why Grandpa Rides a Harley.” A good little book. We’ll be adding it to the books for grandkids that my mom has been collecting.

I was looking at a 5 hour ride through a part of the country that seems to have no radio stations whatsoever. On the ride from the hotel to the hospital today the seek button just spun through the dial. So I picked up a book on CD at Wal-Mart. And what I found was Eragon on CD. 14 hours of a fantastic book. I would recommend this series. It is great so far.

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.
