I thought I'd report on my trip so far.

After that, I got a little messed up leaving the airport (in part
because I picked up the car at their service lot, so there weren't good
signs). Eventually, I found a gas station where someone was sufficiently
knowledgeable about the area to get me back on track.

:-) no comment [unless one considers no comment a comment]

Last night I payed Dan Velasco (aka uncledan on eBay). I brought home
$60 worth of good stuff (Sheree - I've got some more Fabuland parts for
you - also, you should watch Dan's eBay auctions, he'll be putting up
some Fabuland that I couldn't talk him out of [a red vacuum cleaner, a
fire truck ladder, a couple other parts and some figures]). Dan's stuff
was impressive. He has a couple people who supply him with big boxes of
used LEGO, which he then sorts through and breaks into lots for sale on
eBay, and some is also sold straight to Bayluggers. He definitely is
just the sort of person I suspected from his eBay sales, and I can
absolutely reccomend him as someone to buy used LEGO from.

Not one hint of what of what the *some* is ???? only details of what is not.
I will console myself with the fact are very generous in  your dealings when
fortune smiles on you...


When I got back to my hotel (after stopping in a Walmart on the way back
and not finding any 2001 LEGO),


I sat down to do some building.

Good!!!

I had
already decided to build a space ship - yes, a space ship, having only 2
small space related sets. I'll be taking pictures over the weekend, and
hopefully can upload some on Monday.

!!!!!!! [ your creation and Baylug meeting too I hope]

Most of the parts came from Shell
sets, but some of the red came from 735. I also used 2 8x8 lattice
plates bought from Dan. I'm pretty pleased with the ship, but may pick
up a few more Shell sets tonight to fix it up a little more. I may pick
up one of the Walmart value packs which has the Insectoid set to get
some castle pieces to build some sort of castle creation (after all,
I've got plenty of castle minifigs with me).

Tonight, I may drive down to Gilroy and check out a KB Outlet there, and
tomorrow I will be attending the Baylug meeting.

Have fun!  [Might spot some Fabuland there too?!  Freddy Fox with a yellow
Hat???]

safe travel (and build not sort!),
sheree

I thought I'd report on my trip so far. The trip got off with a bad omen. The plane we were supposed to fly had mechanical problems, but they found another plane and got us going onlyh a few minutes late. The plane change resulted in us flying (...)
