Ahhh, things are working again...

I really screwed up the set up of the iPAQ last week. The back up file was not working correctly and things didn't seem to want to install right either. But it looks like some of things are working again, like emailing photos to the BLOG.

Test ghosts...

Playing at Foy Park...

We found a little park to play at after I helped Aunt Emma with her computer. I even got to skate on the "multi-purpose" court.

Foy Park is near Spring Mt.

Back to Ubuntu Linux...

I messed up my Ubuntu install when I updated to v8.10. I then decided to wipe it out and try WinXP on the laptop and play with Google Chrome abit more. Ugh, by the time I got finished installing spyware, anti-virus and other things, Iwas ready for Linux back.

I was going to wait till the official Ubuntu 8.10 at the end of the month or for Chrome for linux but just decided to jump back in...

At the Dr. office with no insurance, Yea...

Trip to the Statue of Liberty...

Our friend treated us to a Statue of Liberty outing today. I have never been there so it was a real treat. It was a great day. I put the pictures into a slide show since there were so many. Check out Sarah's BLOG as she will have the pictures from the regular camera.


At the top looking up...

You can't go up in the statue anymore but, you can get to the observation deck right under her. Leaning back to get this shot, I felt like the stone wall in back of me wasn't strong enough and I had felt like I needed to really have as much contact with the wall as possible. It felt like you were just going to fly over the edge or your camera was going to leap from your hands... More pics to come. The few I posted so far were done when i was able to hook up to free wifi on the island....

Succesful Junk Yard scavanger hunt...


Fourteen rows of foreign cars and here is what I need:
1. Two P195/60 or 65 R14 tires.
2. Dashboard air vent- center right.
3. Tail light
4. Volume knob.
5. Ball joint washer plate thing.
6. Left side hood pad thing.

I did get everything I went for. The tires came from a Nissan so, I had to have a garage swap the rims. below are the cars that I scavenged from.








Jetta is almost ready...

The Jetta is ready to roll. It just needs registration and inspection.

Today we washed him up.

Installed CrossOver Chromium on ubuntu...










I installed CrossOver Chromium which is a port of Google's new Chrome browser. It was very easy. Just go to the site, download the file and it installed via Wine by itself.

It seems to crash allot more than the windows version and it's not as snappy quick.

Grand Opening of the King of Prussia LEGO store (1)...

After we helped out with Yoda in the previous post, we went to check out the store.

Check out that line... We walked around the mall, ate, then my mom went to start waiting in line. It took an hour or so to get in. They would let a family go in after a family came out. Then it was another line inside once you picked something out to buy.

They had little spots in the wall for displays.. I thought the butterfly one was cool...

Then there is the $500 Falcon... Really, $500.

They had all kind of single pieces to buy too. I think it was like $7 to fill a small bucket and $12 for a large bucket.

And a shot of some miniFigs...

I guess I should have gotten a shot of Gryphon with his new set but, I didn't.

Grand Opening of the King of Prussia LEGO store (2)...

So we went to the Grand Opening of the KoP LEGO store today. It packed and full of "Brick-citement".

First up was the building of a huge Yoda near the Elevator. What they did is set up a bunch of tables and let everyone build bricks and then the builder would take the bricks and build Yoda...

Gryphon gets his build on...

Devin jumped in too...

Gryphon's finished brick.

Yoda takes shape.

Yoda from above and about two hours later then the picture above.
