First Stripe on the Brown Belt ...

First Stripe on the Brown Belt

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00556

Andy and I both took our stripe test today. We both passed. We’re on our brown belt and with the brown belt things get more challenging and earning the next belt take longer. It actually takes double the time. Up until now we earned a stripe once a month for three months and then progressed to the next belt as long as we had all three stripes. Now we need six stripes to progress to the next belt. Honestly, that is fine with me because I feel that I have so much to learn before I progress again. I also feel that in 6 months time Andy will be older and by the time he is ready to earn his black belt (A year or two from now) he’ll have matured more and also improved in skill. He has improved so much over this past year and grown up as well.

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.

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.
