books

I finished the Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor today. I realized I never updated the "what I'm reading" do-ma-hickie for that one. O0ps. It was a good read, I'm going to have to start reading more of his stuff. I picked up one of his books on tape for the drive to BrickFair and thought it was pretty good, then spotted Lions at Ed McKay.

LEGO update

So, building a football stadium was cost prohibitive. That little project has been abandoned. I have substantially downsized the farmhouse from BrickFair (and there is no more interior). I'm also working on a couple of other new houses and a train project.

Here's the new, one baseplate farmhouse:

When I finished building the house I picked it up and noticed a problem:

Now I'm happy to say the roof stays put, unless you hold it upside down.

what's up

Wow - it's been a long time since my last post. I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, had an awesome birthday weekend, and watched a lot of football. I thought the book was good, but I'm not sure that it lived up to all the hype. Becky tells me the second book is better. We'll see.

I started a fairly large scale LEGO project, a mini-scale football stadium. It's a long way from done and I want to get it done before I start another project, so LEGO boxes have started to pile up a little bit in the basement. Sort of like books on the "to be read shelf."
