Vintage Childhood

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00739

When I was a kid I had this vintage pedal car fire truck. I mean, it was brand new at the time and now it is vintage. It was made out of metal and had little ladders on either side. It has been sitting in my parent’s basement for years now. When they moved it became mine again. The kids are booth too big for it and it does not work properly anymore. It needs to be restored if anyone is to actually use it in the future. That is not something I have any interest in doing. I have no grand aspirations of my grandchildren riding around in it some day. I just don’t. I enjoyed it as a kid and it was fun. But it is time for it to move on.

I listed it on Facebook and found a buyer. A young man who does have aspirations of refurbishing it. Great. I am glad that someone will continue to enjoy this and put in the work to restore it.

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...

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. 

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.
