Woweee! I got blog of the week! How awesome! I certainly wasn't expecting it. I'm going to take some more pictures around Seward to add to my Seward Life entry. I have a lot of interesting pictures and things for all to see.
Also, as a side note...
I am going to make an RC Super Venom Striker out of my manas and 2 striking venom sets. It'll be the ultimate exo-force mobile base!
Stay tuned for some awesome stuffz!
Ahh yes, I have had the most wonderful 4th of July weekend ever! I was fortunate enough to be the sole pit crew member for my friend who built a custom drag bike from parts of practically every motorcycle make you can possibly think of. There are parts from harley davidson, suzuki, yamaha, kawasaki and more. The bikes powerhouse is a 570cc snowmachine engine, driving the wheel with a belt drive, eliminating the need to shift gears. The bike is insanely fast, and can run a quarter mile in the 12-
This is an engine part from my Oldsmobile. If you can guess correctly what its function is, you get a special banner that denotes your mechanical genius! Have a go at it!
<< Clicky for big pic!
Here is a video of how it works when its in the engine, operated with my hands......

A hint, Your engine may stop running if this part is broken. This one has rough edges and doesn't run smooth enough anymore to function perfectly. Hence, the reason for its repl

Ah yes, I have been drooling at the lego shelves every time I go to look for bionicle sales and new merchandise. In my honest opinion, these two sets are some of the best sets available! I want to get striking venom as well, but I don't want to pay $50+ for it.
I present the Golden Guardian
This set is VERY WELL worth the retail price of about $25. The set has wonderful durability, and it has a very nice appeal to how it looks. The huge mechapants are 100% win, and overall it looks very
I am off to Seward for a week! YAY!
I plan on securing a job, and finding that cute boy I've been looking for............
Not to mention finally posting that Seward Life entry I've been blabbing about..................
Wheeeee I love going home!!!!!!!!!!!!
My right thumb was rendered useless today. I was assembling the biggest weber BBQ that you can buy at Home Depot, and in the process of unpacking it, the lid managed to fall full force onto my thumb. If my thumb had been at any other angle, I think it would have broke. It bit REALLY hard. I think the lid on that thing weighs about 8-10 lbs.............
I feel fortunate that I only got a heavy bruise on top, and a rapidly filling blood blister inside my first knuckle. Keeping that thing draine
And build and build and build and build and build and build and BUILD................
Quite frankly I am getting tired of it.......
If you are thinking that I am tired of building bionicle, have no fear! I could never give up this great building system we all know and love as Bionicle!
I have been stuck in Anchorage too much.... WAAYYYyyy too much! I am seriously wanting to cut back on my assembly job. I can already feel strange twinges in my hands,wrists and arms that weren't there
Yeah, I went skateboarding for the first time ever. I was finally starting to get the hang of it, then, I got going a bit too fast and started to get speed wobbles. By the time I bailed I was going too fast to run out of it, and got some Naaaasty road rash on my left knee and palms.
Kinda smarts, but its not too bad. My knee got it the worst, as the lacerations were deep enough to sufficiently make plenty of blood run down my leg....
Funny thing though, it didnt rip my pants...........
Oi oi oi, it took me the entire entry period to build this beast........
I hated it at first with a massive passion, because it didn't look like Anything. After working with it, I now love it, and may very well save it for NW Brick Con!
Anyhoo, heres the Topic
And a pic for ones enjoyment
In the Form of carpet......
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge....
This was the old carpet that was in my bedroom at my house in Seward. Notice the vomity yellowness..........
Well, anyway, I got a bit overzealous and ripped it all out. This revealed varnished pine floors underneath!
I love my wooden floors! Although, I sometimes stumble upon the random carpet staple....... ouchies....
The bathroom is the next to be finished, as it needs new vinyl floors.
Ok guys and gals! I promised it to you, now its time to run it!
The Reikia are pretty much finished, but the Le, Ko, and Ga Reikia are WIP, and going to eventually get the same head treatments as the others. Its all a matter of getting the right Knights Kingdom armor. Heres how the contest will work.
You can choose to name all 6 reikia, or just choose names for whichever ones you want to name. You may enter once, but you can edit your entry if you are not satisfied. The contest will run
I am officially a violinmaker as of today! I sold my violin that I posted in this blog for $4,000! I am so stoked, as it is my first ever sale of one of my own instruments! I can now pay off my bills! HOORAH!!! This, on top of meeting a interesting guy back at home, things just seem to be turning my way lately!

I have been brainstorming what I want my movie trailer to be like. I am thinking about 5 minutes long or so. It will show the "current time" story, and take glimpses of the characters and scenery. The trailer is narrated by Turaga Ohma, and when the time comes, I will need a deep voice for the character.
All the giant rahi will be featured with tidbits of their animated awesomeness. I just re-assembled them after having them apart for their brickfest adventure. I'm going to build a new mode
I am going to start working on my PBZP. Its been long neglected, and needs some TLC. I plan on building my first O entry, and finish my B and K entries first, being that I already have one of two for each finished.
I plan on using some great new building techniques and building some really nice mocs. I'm also going to start working on some new creations for NW BrickCon in October.
I'm going to start putting together my Trials of Terror movie trailer soon, and will do voicecasting once my
Well, It seems like things are going rather well for me lately. I got my taxes filed and paid on time, and I still have plenty of cash to get me by, and pay my other bills. Things just seem to flow this time of year....
My promotion to staff was a bit of a suprise. I certainly wasn't expecting it at all, let alone so soon. I like helping out around the site, and doing my part to help keep BZP a great forum!
Work has been crazy busy lately, and income is good! I'm also taking care of my fr
Spring is upon us here in Alaska. All the Home Depot stores I assemble for are screaming for help right now. They need all of the wheelbarrows that are left over from last year built (were talking hundreds here). So work has been rolling along. There is lots of money to be made...
I am working like crazy on getting my taxes all done on time. Oooiii I am sweating bullets over here! Its so close to the deadline. I really gotta start doing them up earlier LOL
I have a bbc42 entry built, I j
Well, my vacation officially ends tomorrow night. I have heard that there is SO MUCH WORK for me when I get home. I'll need it for sure. I guess my motto for the weeks to come will be "Woooorrrk Till Your Body Buuurrnnsss!!!"
Me and my two work partners have to build a minimum of 150 BBQ grills at each of 3 Home Depot stores in town, and the huge one out in the valley. Not to mention all the yard equipment they will need like wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, carts, trailers, chippers, shredders, log
Brickfest was the biggest, most AWESOMEST thing EVER! Click Here to See My Pictures!
My display was a HUGE hit, not only to the public, but tio all the Adult Lego fans that were attending the convention as well! They had all taken the time to approach me and tell me how awesome my bionicle display was, and that my creations had a very organic feel to them. Something they say they have never seen in a "Pure Bionicle" creation. They were suprised at the complexity of mocs on my table, and were
Well, Brickfest is turning out to be rather interesting. I got all my mocs here ok, and set them all up, but funny thing, is I almost didn't make it! Turns out I had scheduled my flight to leave on the wrong day, and I missed it O.O I couldn't believe it, and was having a horrendous panic attack until I got everything sorted out. The lady on the phone was so nice.
I went on a short shopping trip with KIE to get some necessities, and on the way back, the tram was stopped, and we weren't sure
Brickfest tiptoes ever so close, as I bust my hump to finish my displays! Oi oi oi, I know I am cutting it close! I have 3 Reikia to finish. The blue one is almost done, and then I have to brainstorm on the green one, then the white one! The Onu-Reikia is absolutely massive and fearsome! I certainly wouldnt want to run into him on a bad day in Kaiva-Nui!
I have tonight to finish up, as I leave at 1:00 am tomorrow morning (late tonight)
Wish me luck! I am gonna need it!
After brickfest
Finally, my Giant Rahi are all built! Just some minor touchup work left on them and their riders.
I can now concentrate on transforming the reikia fom their old dull selves into new, more menacing beasts. The elimination of Baksilvah means the addition of a Gold Reikia!!!! There will be more info as to why at a later time.
I may post some sneak peek pics as they are being built.... Stay tuned for great things! I'm gonna take pics of EVERYTHING at brickfest, and make a nice brickshelf folde
I've really been busting bum on my my display for brickfest. Vakatu's rahi is complete, and Very creepy looking! They might even want it for the space category if they need a monster.
Paruvaks rahi is 75% completed. All thats left to build are his feet and hip connection. The color scheme is rockin! I really think that this rahi will be my favorite of the bunch.
I may post pics of paruvaks rahi before brickfest, but might also wait it out. I worked on Mukaia a bunch more, and it looks a l
I busted it hard for the last few nights, and built Vakatu's Rahi to 95% completion! It is very different from any creation I have ever made. It's a visual treat indeed! Stay tuned!
