ABD Stripe Test

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01123

Today was stripe test for all of us at America’s Best Defense. My test was this morning and the kids had their tests in the afternoon. Andy has been out of classes for the past month and only came back on Tuesday. I was very surprised that he knew the nunchuk form as well as he did. Andy told me that he was actually moving his wrists along with everyone as he watched them do class all the past month. He was not supposed to get a full stripe because he had not been in to class but he got one none-the-less. We will have to do some catch up for him this month to bring him up to speed.

Eva did a great job in her class. We are both on a gun defense rotation and so she was doing a great job with it. She even had to do gun defense with Mr. Brochu as the person holding the gun. She was a bit freaked at that but she recovered quickly.

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.
