Oh, aye! I agree hearty-ly. However it would seem that the shipwrights
on the "left" side of the International Date Line have several more
hours in their day than those on the "right" side. :-)
At the moment I need time to:
- finish the Red Beard Runner makeover. The stern is more-or-less
complete so I have turned my attention to the bow. I discovered last
night that the "wings" from a 6493 Flying Time Vessel make a really nice
bowsprit area (don't know the official term or even if there is one.) I
have LEGO bits strewn all over my office/studio and my Dad is coming
into town this weekend so i am hoping to get most of the ship done and
the parts out of the way before he has to sleep in there. I also want to
show it off at the East Coast LEGO Fest in June. I promise to post pics,
even before I'm finished building. As for a name, I'm sure one will come
to me... (Oh Muse, where is thy kiss?)
- wash the BSB parts. Bob and Mike Collins are a great source for Pirate
parts but they invariably need a good soaking before they can be
handled. The parts, that is. The Collins boys sit in the non-no-smoking section.
- use the six safes I bought in AUCZilla XI for the First Bank of the
Imperium, to be built on this site in the port of San Kirko. This will
more or less complete the merchant/restaurant "strip" of the town. Then
to build the docks and the beach...
- work my real job as a graphic artist
- work my other real job as a freelance graphic artist
- chase my kid around while my wife works late at her extremely hectic
real job as a technical writer.
- eat
- sleep (optional)
- watch the NHL hockey playoffs (my biggest vice at the moment.)
Arrr!
