Trips and Pirate Ships

Yesterday Tinkerbell and I went to Home Depot to return the bi-fold doors and pick-up the correct ones.  The benefit of living in a large sprawling metropolis like the Detroit area is there are 15 different Home Depot locations to choose from wen searching for one that has the merchandise in stock.  Tinkerbell takes full advantage of this.  Why wait for doors when you can drive a little further to pick them up today.  So we drove thirty minutes to another of those areas we should be avoiding to do the swap.

The virus seems to take the fun out of these excursions.  More than once Tinkerbell sarcastically mentioned how fun these trips are when I am in a good mood.  I don't want to be out on the town.  The virus is only half of the reason.  We stood in line for about 20 minutes.  The sun was out but it was still windy and cold.  I kept my comments to a minimum.  There is still no forecast of a sunny day with temperatures over 60 degrees in the near future.

I have been spending my free time building legos.  I build a giant pirate themed set that is both a ship and a ship wreck.  The modified row boat in my creation too.




Now I am building a imperial clipper ship to battle the pirates.


That happens to be a pirate themed roller coaster on the background.

I think my next project will be some dystopian scene.  something to go with the virus!

    1. Yes it keeps me busy. I have started to wonder what I am going to do with all these legos when I get old :)

  2. That is so neat. I am not at all mechanically inclined. I can visualize anything in my head, just words.

    1. I started as a draftsmen and later a designer on the computer so visualizing things has always been a part of me. Plus I tend to rebuild a lot.

  3. I loved Playmobil when I was a kid in the '80s, kept me distracted from the chaos in my mind

  4. How cool the results of your lego raft into a pirate ship ... Very cool to decorate the room.
