forget about the brick do something that has nothing to do with it or better yet
find something to do as a groop that would flush some ideas out.

i have learned that if you have to ask someone to do something it will never get
done. so my advice is to help your club members choose something they want to
work on rather than saying you build this and ill build that. if they are
interested in building something you won't have to ask them to build it. if
anything you will have to ask them to leave so you can go to bed.

well honestly it shouldn't be work. after all it is a hobby.

well take a week or two. if anything you will come back to building, relaxed and
full of ideas.

i wouldn't go that far. i still use your web site as referance to things i am
building today. your club was basicly the first and it has basicly had the same
members for a long time. maybe what you need is new members and or chalanges. a
joint layout maybe ? the posablitys are endless just give it time.

p.s. pardon the bad spelling/grammer. i am too tired to fix it.
