We saw the GMO at the Harris Center at the Folsom Lake College last night. The band leader has an amazing voice.


Several folks from “The Greatest Generation” were in attendance. We thought that was great to see, especially when a few got up and “cut a rug”. Although, we did wonder how many “hips” would be out-a-wack this morning.

Inner child alert!




Pre-work build. If an engine or trans were only as easy.




Mistake #1, later discovered in the build.



Mistake identified and corrected...




Parked on the office “Porsche” shelf.

Work continues in the lot behind my house. Temp pole set, new transformer on pole at my back corner, my fence taken down, and grading to prep for the footer to support the 5' high retaining wall, which will be built right on my back property line.

Sometimes all you can do is watch while the world turns.....

Oh that is LEGIT!!!! 15+\- years ago, the wife and boys got me the LEGO P-51D model. That is sitting on a shelf in the hangar. I wonder if the decals are sill available since the original ones have timed out.

Yup, and they can tell the difference between naturally-occurring and pipeline NG.
The alien probe looking thingy on top is an ultrasonic 3D anemometer.

Wholly CRAP big D, you didn’t mention the packaging and the HUGE instruction/coffee table book. The attention to detail is off the hook. Just too bad LEGO retired it. There are LED light kits available for it.
