4600 pc.  Two manuals with 970 steps, so with all the other pages, probably around 1100 pages.  There is also a podcast for each of the major assemblies.

I actually looked up the car a couple days ago on the LEGO site, it’s quite impressive. I like how it has it’s own unique serial number and comes complete with it’s own day bag. 

Huge tornado leveled homes in the town I went to middle school in tonight.

Wow.  So tragic.

That's awful.

Family night!

Nature's canvas. It's 3:09 in the morning here and I'm really excited. Refuge HQs has given the dam on this lake a clean bill and in a couple of hours I'm loading one of the yaks for a little paddle. Taking a couple of rods, but I think it will mostly be a paddle. Need my fix! More rain expected after 2 pm, but only 20%.

While fishing today, my 9 year old grabbed the phone and took a pic of a nice little waterfall. I didn’t even know he took it until at home going through fish pics. Not bad for a kid with dad’s phone. 

Local farmers having to take extra steps before putting their cattle out in the fields this year.

That was fun ~ 131 days

Flood waters are finally starting to drop and the giant puddles are drying up, and these guys are wandering everywhere it seems, including our front yard. The boys were loving it, Mrs. Blue was not quite as impressed.

Sure glad it has warmed up lol But hey a little fog never stops me.

 

 

Some mornings, you just have to take a knee.

Had to add one more. 97 year-old WWII veteran, Tom Rice, parachuted over Normandy today to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings. "All The Way, Airborne Trooper!" (Photo: Stars and Stripes)

Pretty cool!

That’s pretty cool! The bravery of those boys 75 years ago is remarkable. 

We caught a bunch of 12"-16" channel cat and a few 14"-16" bass and had them cleaned and fried before nightfall....and they were delicious.

If you're going to eat fish, that's the only way to do it, straight from the lake to the plate.

Next time you fry up a batch let me know, I'll guard the pan for you.

Sounds like a deal, there's always someone trying to swipe a piece....

I'm not usually one to brag on my kids, but here goes. I volunteered to coach  team this year since I had three girls playing. We just finished our regular season of 10u softball, we went undefeated and my oldest daughter threw three innings and struck out all 9 in a run rule win. She threw 10 balls and 27 strikes. I am SOOOOO proud of her. She is a wonderful kid and a super hard worker and she makes me smile. (Actually she isn't mine, she's my step-daughter but I call her mine since I have basically raised her). Now it's on to Regional's and hopefully the State tournament. I have coached for 16 years and I can't recall ever seeing a perfect game with all outs via strike out.
