I Have Thrown In The Towel On The Foco BRXLZ Lion's Football!

Today was utter madness with the Lion's football Lego like assembly. The Foco bricks are so hard to work with. They don't line up very well. The instructions are difficult to follow when it comes to the extra pieces and their placement. It started to get ridiculous on page five. I was able to do the... Sign in to see full entry.

Making Progress On My Football!

Now that I'm a few pages into the instruction book I'm making good progress. There really aren't any instructions but a lot of diagrams and associated numbers to corresponding pieces for each level. I have learned to layout each layer, then refer to the diagram for placement. Invariably there are... Sign in to see full entry.

The Countdown Begins! 2026 Is Close At Hand!

This time last year I was ailing and didn't know it. It would take another week before I sought medical help. Pneumonia is a frightening ailment. I've done everything I can think of to stay healthy the second half of the year. Since my second bout with Pneumonia I have enjoyed decent health. I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Been A Lazy Saturday. And A Tad Frustrating!

I got a FOCO BRXLZ Lions football. It has 723 pieces. The reading I've done says to be patient. I have spent a good portion of the day trying to get it started. I get the base pieces together and invariably something goes awry and I have to start over. My daughter says, 'Think 3 D'. I'm just not... Sign in to see full entry.

Today Was A Restful Day For Me! Starting To Plan For Next Year!

As soon as the gifts are opened and Christmas dinner is over I'm in planning mode for the next year. There are gifts I get that follow a pattern every year. My daughter-in-law gets jewelry. If I find necklace/earring combo, I'm stoked. Otherwise it's earrings. My daughter and granddaughter love... Sign in to see full entry.

Even Though It's Considered A Holiday, The Boise Postmaster Called.

My son-in-law, daughter and I have been trying for days to find out where my package is located. The last location was Cincinnati. It was in Cincinnati for at least 6 days. The updates just said the package was moving through the network. This morning when I awoke I checked my email and by the grace... Sign in to see full entry.

I Doubt My Gifts Will Arrive Before Christmas!

It has been 4 days since my last update. Everyday I check it says my package is in transit to the next facility. The next facility does not take 4 days. I have kept busy today to keep my mind off the dilemma. Ceil made a good point. She said they might enjoy the gifts more opening later than all the... Sign in to see full entry.

Service Request Filed, Perhaps Too Late For Resolution.

I mailed my gifts for my grandchildren on the 12th. I paid for 4 day shipping. My packages were supposed to arrive last Wednesday. One of the boxes sat in Indianapolis for 3 days and another 3 days in Cincinnati. When I checked at USPS yesterday it said my package was in transit to next facility. If...

Fabulous Saturday! DAWGS WIN! DAWGS WIN!

It was a fantastic game. My guys started out with two quick touchdows. One on their first drive of the game and the second on a turn over created by the defense. Harding got within a touchdown when the score was FSU 21, Harding 14. The final score was 42-21. At the end of the 3rd quarter my guys... Sign in to see full entry.
