Thanks to all who made me feel so welcome at my first
BF.
I especially want to thank Kevin Clague, who calming
presence kept me from going ballistic when I learned
we couldn't disassemble the instruction books for
the timed 8421 crane build.
But we still set a record on it anyway: 1:48:14, over
seven minutes better than the German team's time.
The build team was Randall Crabtree, Ondrew Hartigan,
Augie Thiesing, Kevin and myself. I worked with
Ondrew on the cab and boom; he is the fastest builder
I've come across.
Then I got my ABS butt kicked in the mega-sumo robot
contest by Steve Hassenplug and Bryan Bonahoom. Oh
well, it was just my second sumo design, I'll do
better next time.
The breadth and depth of building skill in the model
displays is impossible to describe. I think I got
pictures of everything (over 600 photos), so maybe
I'll learn something after I've digested it all.
And I got to give Kjeld a brief personal thank you
for all the good things Lego toys have done for me.
I came home completely exhausted, but it was the
most sheer fun I've had in many years. I hope to
see y'all again!
