A First Ever For Guys' Night ...

We didn’t order boneless buffalo wings and fries or play Golden Tee. I know that this goes against everything that guy’s night stands for but it is true. It was Neil, Derek and I at guys night last night at the Funway Cafe and we broadened our culinary horizons with Burgers (Neil got one with Swiss Cheese and Bacon and Derek who ‘wasn’t fussy’ got the works on his, the works at the Funway includes jalapenos and a multitude of other toppings.) I got a steak and cheese. The service last night was terrible and I was tempted to convince the guys to take the five back from the tip and use it for video games. But despite there being very few people there our waitress, who didn’t acknowledge our table for a good 40 minutes and then came back sporadically and didn’t believe that my Pepsi tasted like club soda, deserved a tip because she was busy, doing what I don’t know.

After our meal we each played some video games, I took on a few of the shooter games, despite being the least thrilled about the prospect of guns. And I am a decent video game shot. Neil and I were supposed to play the game below but the machine ate one of our tokens and made it only a one player game. But then while we were standing around, after Neil gave the worst mission performance ever, I noticed that you could hit the continue button and try other missions. I made it through the next 5 missions while Derek pointed out that I was a crack shot despite the aversion to guns. What can I say, all those years of Duck Hunt groomed me well for a little useless talent. Neil and Derek played air hockey and I believe that it was a blowout with Neil cleaning up. Then Neil and Derek played a racing game which Neil won, I myself would have not been able to get into the top 10 in the race because I tend to drive very erratically in a video game where I am ‘Mr 10 and 2’ (as Allison and my sisters have dubbed me) on the road. Here are some pictures from guy’s night.


Neil makes it to victory lane.


I think we know their feelings on this game. I on the other hand played quite well to Derek’s disbelief.

We did agree that it was time to go do something soon witht he wives. So hopefully the Blue Dog Sports Bar and Grille opens we go and do a night as a group.

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.
