A bin on fire..

And ya’ll know, this is why we can’t have nice things 🙁

Tough Mudder. Going by the stories, it really does live up to its name. 20km course, insane obstacles, lots of crazy people.

What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve got 245 days to go from thirty-year-old rapidly-expanding-everything geek to someone that can survive this event. Did I mention it’s on my birthday next year?

Happy birthday me!

Today was my first “official” exercise attempt, going for a power walk until I got bored with it. I’d say “until it hurt” but that lasted until about 200 meters, the first time I tried to jog. Suffice to say, my ankles and shins said no to that in short order. So I kept walking, at what one would call a brisk pace. I tried a few times to jog, but ~120kg and historically terrible joints don’t go well.

I’ve seen more of these in real life than I’d ever thought to want to, and this is a cute representation of a much-needed resource when the fire’s raging.

GNK Power Droid

Today’s LEGO Star Wars code is 9491.

This is a cute little droid which provides much-needed power to units around it 🙂

Now I’m not creative enough to normally criticize any decisions that LEGO has made, but this is a little disappointing. I was shocked that people would pay out on the MTT in this year’s Star Wars set - but now I understand. I feels odd to have a whole big thing coming together day by day, and was a little bit of a let-down after being given little sets that are fun while standing alone…

Fireman’s ATV

I think it’s cute that they’ve crossed the days, probably wanting us to use the wheels from yesterday to make this baby roll 🙂

A lady firefighter ready for duty!

I love the hair on this minifig - it flows over her shoulders and sits just nicely. 🙂 I have to say it’s nice that they made a woman firefighter too.
