Doubt I got any product here on my desk that are not "Made in China"

I'm going with my dad to buy a boat tommorow off a guy from craigslist. I hope he isn't a killer! J/K. But seriously I'm getting a boat. It's nothing fancy, just a plain Jon Boat with a 20hp motor and little trolling motor.

Oh and Volcano Tacos and Nachos are amazing. The burritos are nasty though. Taco Bell FTW.

I made the leap today and bought my first lego set.

By far the most amazing thing I have ever put together. Its so freaking complicated its awesome. It has 76 gears, a full transmission, and all sorts of cool stuff. Took me a good 8 hours to build.

This doesn't mean I'm not building knex anymore, i just wanted a little but more of a challenge.

^That's a great set! I've always liked Technic, but it's pretty expensive.

**Coaster105** · #**1030** 08-28-2010, 11:59 AM

Yah, it was a little pricey($199), but i think the quality of lego sets make it worth it.

I'm 17 today! yay!

That's awesome looking. And happy birthday!

^at the rate Knex is going, and can see why a lot of people would make the switch.

I still love all my old knex though. Will never give it up.

Shadowman · #**1034** 08-29-2010, 01:40 PM

I think I'm getting sick, right in time for my birthday.

**The KNex Weasel** · #**1035** 08-29-2010, 06:12 PM

I haven't been able to build things out of K'Nex much, since I have other challenges (like practicing piano) to keep me busy. Just saying hello from back at NIU.

**Maxlaam** · #**1036** 08-29-2010, 07:53 PM

I already started to wonder where you'd go.

**BGTKing** · #**1037** 08-31-2010, 11:14 AM

I just wish I could graduate already... or at least just not have to do my work.

**Maxlaam** · #**1038** 09-02-2010, 08:43 PM

Busy last 4 days from holiday here...

**BGTKing** · #**1039** 09-16-2010, 12:21 AM

Been so busy with my classes lately. Had no time to do anything.

Shadowman · #**1040** 09-16-2010, 05:14 PM

I've been working on a new project, I plan to have instructions by Saturday.

**Maxlaam** · #**1041** 09-17-2010, 07:44 PM

Ohh, exciting

I want to start on another k'nex coaster asap, if school lets

**Coaster105** · #**1042** 09-17-2010, 08:32 PM

No comments on my Marble Machine?

Its finally starting to get coldish here. I'm sick of the heat. Can't wait till it gets really cold.

I have My Drivers Road test on Monday. Will get my full license if i pass.

Shadowman · #**1043** 09-18-2010, 10:19 AM

I got my driver's license on Wednesday.

It's only my learner's permit though, but I can still drive.

**Coaster105** · #**1044** 09-18-2010, 12:08 PM

How old do you have to be to get your Learners?

Here you have to be 16, and 17 to get your full license.

Shadowman · #**1045** 09-18-2010, 09:34 PM

Here you have to be 15 to get learner's, and 16 to get full. I could've gotten my learner's last year, lol.

**Coaster105** · #**1046** 09-20-2010, 09:25 PM

Totally bombed my drivers test. I wasn't even close to passing, it sucks.

**The KNex Weasel** · #**1047** 09-21-2010, 03:15 PM

I didn't even take the driver's test until I was almost 18; I'd been active on SSC for six months prior to getting my license. I just don't use the car much, so it took awhile for me to get the full 150 necessary hours of driving practice in.
