Did you get the Millenium Falcon too?!?

I’ve had that for 2 years now. Built it myself, it was a kit but I didn’t use the instructions. I’m a bit of a Star Wars nerd, and I enjoy building LEGOs. But I don’t buy LEGO anymore, unless there is something I really want (like the Millenium Falcon.)
I am thinking about getting the new Apollo rocket set, but I probably won’t get it, because I could use that money for things audio. -
I love me some Star Wars. Was only 4 when the original came out, but I am a fan of every one of them since.
The best movies for surround sound. -

I watched Rogue one in 5.2, and it was incredible. Very much enjoyed that.
What have you thought of the new movies? 7 was pretty good, and I rather liked Rogue one and 8. Not as much as the original trilogy though. -
How in the world did you build that without instructions?!
Did it come in 20 pieces or 300? I'm going to the web to check a kit out now. Come on...I'm very adapt at figuring things out for the most part, but I'd never in my lifetime figure out how to put that together without these instructions. Your one bright engineer if you figured it out yourself.

Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Most of all of the structure is visible through the pictures on the box, only the interior was difficult because it is really tight inside and hard to get into. That would’ve been hard with or without instructions though.
IIRC, the set is around 1300 pieces. This isn’t the new big one, it is the model that came out about a month before episode 7. Realistically, the set is really around 500, and there is just a lot of tiny details which contribute to the piece count. The frame is very simple, and the detail work can be easily copied from the box. -
sooooooo... sort of in keeping with the prevailing theme in this thread (sort of)...
last night was VPR's annual on-air star gazing party. This year was a little different, though this year was a little different as the 'event' (things are pretty quiet in the north country ) was leavened with a Guinness world record largest astronomy lesson ever at the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, VT.

Apparently they drew 1701 "students" to the lesson. I am a little puzzled by that and one... but that's what they claimed.
The next hour was broadcast on VPR and - as usual - Mrs. H & I sat outside and listened and looked.
It was a beautiful, nigh on perfect night for it, too. It was, as I like to say, a Milky Way night.
notes;
Sorry that the images aren't quite in focus; pilot error
We had a candle burning on the table where we were sitting.

This is my favorite record store in Columbus, Spoonful records. The Smashing Pumpkins are in town tonight. Billy (yes that's Corgan) was downtown in the store shopping about a hour ago.
2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.
Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -
Very cool
And as far as SW, I love all the movies. Some more than others.
Empire is the best IMHO -

heh, I had our (my daughter's) old 6" Newtonian out last night, too. No drive for the equatorial mount, so no piccies from it Nice night to view Jupiter & Saturn (they've been good lately, as, of course, has been Mars).

I bought the last one so I told them they were out of their gourds.

We had the CBP here the other day with a detection dog. Sadly, the dogs reward toy was dropped and run over by a truck.

Stopped by Best Buy tonight with my son for an Xbox controller charging station, came across this. Pretty cool. Not a large rack of vinyl but had some great titles.

And real turntables underneath the vinyl?
Every store I’ve been to has Crosley’s with plastic styli and built in speakers. Cool to see a store with real tables. -
Should we discourse about the grammar and syntax of 1000s more vinyl @ bestbuy.com?

I was walking around St Louis today and look what I found! It's Victor and Adelita!

Nice! Have a great time!

@lightman1 it appears that you need a slightly wider lens or slightly better aim on your selfies!
That said, great photo! Looks like fun was had!

Nah, if anything he got too MUCH of himself in the photo. It’s a miracle the camera still works lol"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963)

Don't understand with the technology we have today with digital cameras, why the front-facing camera "mirrors" the image.
Sorry Russ, but this comes to mind .

Awesome! Just watched that last night!!
