I'm constantly questioning my life's choices that led to where I am today. Maybe I'm getting old, but it sure feels like something is messed up. Being bored with what you're doing is no way to live. The current regime certainly doesn't help with this feeling of yuck, either.

Cool! That's got to be exciting for you. Really neat!

Thanks SeΓ‘n. We all can use some encouragement in this world that we're currently making our way through. A little kindness goes a long way.

I'll be driving up to Wonderfest this year from Florida, and I'm saving up Storytime until then. I've listened to the first episode, and it was amazing. I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Haha! I’m guilty of that on occasion too. Love my toys. πŸ˜‚

Amazing remix, Mark! I played it for the wife and she loved it too. Well done!

Unfortunately, Generations is one of my least favorite Star Trek films. It has giant plot holes all over the place, and it's depressing as can be. They kill Picard's family, the Enterprise D, and Kirk all in the same 2 hour span. When I saw it in theaters, I left depressed.

I built up the Round2 version, and used pink as the base color. My wife still says that's not the proper color. This is vindication! πŸ˜‚

Still the best 1/537 Refit I've ever seen. Kudos!

My wife was crushed the last couple of years when their eggs didn't hatch, but this year she's overjoyed! The babies are cute little buggers!

Star Trek IV was my gateway drug into all things Trek. Saw it in 1986 at the ripe old age of 13 and never looked back. I can’t wait to see your ups/downs for it!

I wonder if he thought working on a video game was beneath him or something? Weird.

This was a game that I almost picked up when it first came out, but never wound up doing it. Looks like it was pretty killer at the time! Also, Brian Keith was a famous actor - he was the dad in the Parent Trap, had his own show for awhile, and was in many many films. It was pretty big for them.

I still have my Tandy 1000TL. Bought it in 1989 when I was in high school. It took forever to save up for it, so I'm never getting rid of it!

Forget both of them. I'm sticking with MS-DOS.

I loved building this kit. So well engineered, and looks GREAT on the shelf. You're doing her proud, Bill!

Cool, have an awesome time! I live near WDW, but used to visit DL twice a year. DL is the best park in the US. πŸ‘

We saw him many many times at Star Wars Weekends at WDW. He always seemed like a gentleman.

I wish I liked that film more. Starkiller base just *kills* it for me. I can't dumb myself down enough to get around all of the 'how in the world could that possible work' plot points in the sequel trilogy. I loved the new characters, but hated the films.

I’ve built several of these, simply because I can’t control myself. πŸ˜‚
