Visiting The Grand Tetons ...

Grand Tetons

From the Grand Tetons National Park.

Written on the Plane

I’m in the air again, headed out to Idaho Falls, ID. I have a brief demo tomorrow and then it is back home for me.

On Friday, Allison’s car had to be towed to the shop. It was making some nasty rumbles and shakes. The car was towed to our Volkswagon dealer to be serviced. That left Allison with no car. I picked her up after work on friday and took her home. Good thing too because the Pike was shut down and it would have taken forever to get home that way. So when we got home I snapped a quick shot of Allison looking forlornly at an empty parking spot. We had just enough time to quickly post the photo and then head out to Amy and Ryan’s.

I just finished Nevada Barr’s book Blood Lure. It was a good read. The next book, Hunting Season seems to be one that we are missing. So I will try and find it while out on the road. I’m headed to Yellowstone when I land in Idaho. It is a 2 1/2 hour ride but should be well worth it to see sights like Old Faithful. I wonder when Anna Pigeon is going to get stationed at Yellowstone. I have the book that comes after Hunting Season, Flashback, but probably won’t read it till after I get Hunting Season. There are 4 books left, Hunting Season, Flashback, High Country and Hard Truth. I’m not sure if there is another in the works yet. I will have to check at Nevada Barr’s website.

So because I am particular about reading books in order I picked up a book from a series I read about 2 years ago. The series is by Laurell K. Hamilton and the main character is vampire hunter, Anita Blake. I’ve read all the books in that series except for the latest one, Micah, I picked up at the Borders at the airport. They did not have Hunting Season.

The flight’s movie was Hoodwinked. That is a pretty funny and clever movie. Allison and I had taken my cousins to see it when it was in the theaters. There is some great one liners that adults can enjoy.

I took over 100 pictures in the park, these are the ones I consider the best. Enjoy.




























Okay I’m done. It is 12:00 pm here. 2:00 am by my internal clock, even though the Vault kicked in about an hour ago and I’m buzzing like a hummingbird, I need to get some sleep.

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.
