Week of January 8-14, 2017
Organization is my word for this year. Beginning to organize the house after Christmas.
Sort, contain and label...Re Ment storage in the Nook.
Drawer holds plastic craft containers (purchased at Walmart) of re ment. Used dymo tape to label containers and color coded as follows, pink= kitchen items, yellow=food items, green=home decor and bath.
Bigger boxes (made by Paperchase/purchased at Borders) hold larger, boxed furniture and are stored on shelves. Pink photo boxes hold larger loose miniatures and other craft supplies.
Its been a while since I've posted any pictures of my (our) Lego building studio.
Last year, the room was completely renovated. Originally, the room was built as part of a house extension in 1985 to enclose a hot tub and shower. Since owning the house, we used the hot tub only a few years until we shut it down and converted the room into a playroom. The playroom then evolved into a family Lego studio. During this time, we built storage and work spaces around the hot tub. This of course resulted in inefficient use of space and inconvenient accessibility.
Finally, in 2018 we embarked on a much needed renovation. This involved removal of the hot tub and infrastructure, followed by new floor joists and framing. The shower was converted into a storage closet and the entire room received new tiled floor with under floor heating system.
Of the best attributes of this studio is abundant natural light emanating from large floor to ceiling windows and three overhead skylights. For nighttime use, the room is illuminated from ceiling mounted track lighting and a series of adjustable gooseneck LED worklights fitted along the entire length of the work spaces.
Lastly, a custom centre island was constructed from 2x Ikea Kalax storage units. The units were bolted together, a table top surface was installed (with bullnose edges) and heavy duty castor wheels were fitted to the bottom. This centre island not only incorporates integrated storage but serves as an immensely useful worksurface for staging models, sorting parts, or collaboration.
Storage and parts organization is a topic for another day. Suffice to say, we use Ikea Trofast drawers for bulk parts storage of major colours. We use wall mounted Kalax units (not shown) for less used colours, the island Kalax units store monochrome colour detail parts (e.g. slopes, round bricks, etc.), and finally the workspaces are completely surrounded by many 100's of small parts bins organized by part type and also colour if applicable. All storage is labelled using custom python software scripts which generate part thumbnails, part descriptions etc. and automatically lays out label graphics for a variety of Avery brand label sheets of different sizes.
It is a wonderful space to spend time being creative and having fun! Now I just need time to enjoy it!

This was the first time I had gone to a wannaGoFast event. I went on a Saturday, September 17th, 2016 to the Heaven's Landing Airstrip located in Clayton, Georgia. I want to thank the wannaGoFast organization for providing me a media pass to this event. I would certainly go again in the future. If you never been to such an event, you should go at least once and see what it's really like to see cars going their fastest. This was the first time I had ever seen a Lamborghini go over 200mph in person !
The wannaGoFast organization was founded in order to fill a niche in the motorsports marketplace. Our goal was to create a safe and controlled environment for fellow car enthusiasts to pursue their “Need For Speed” without the restrictions of the standard 1/8 or 1/4 mile drag strip. See what it’s like to hit speeds you’ve only dreamed of without the risk of law enforcement or causing injury to others, while being surrounded by on-site safety personnel.

The "office" side of my home office. Shelving by elfa, various storage bins and boxes. The blue paper boxes are really nice and are from The Container Store. The large gray file boxes are some generic things from an office supply store. The four small white bins are actually ice cube bins! I use them for iPod stuff, phone stuff, camera stuff, and small tools (all labeled as such).
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with representatives of scouting organizations who handed him the Peace Light of Bethlehem. He thanked them and congratulated them on the upcoming Christmas.
Among the attendees were members of the youth organization Plast – National Scout Organization of Ukraine, the nationwide youth NGO National Organization of the Scouts of Ukraine, and the NGO Association of Ukrainian Guides.
The children shared how they support youth in frontline regions and maintain connections with young Ukrainians abroad. The scouting organizations also support our wounded warriors. More than half a thousand members of the Plast – National Scout Organization of Ukraine have joined the Defense Forces.
The Peace Light of Bethlehem will later be delivered to the front lines and handed over to Ukrainian defenders.
Where I live everything seems to by flying. if it is not the birds and the bees it is everything else. On the other side of my home on the south end of Beacon Hill is Boeing Field. The Field has an active historic airplane restoration area. There are multiple air museums in the vicinity of the Puget Sound one of which is the "Boeing Air Museum" across the street from Boeing Field. Whatever museum or whatever organization is involved it is not uncommon to see vintage aircraft roaring off the runway at Boeing Field. When I say roaring, I mean roaring, vintage aircraft are loud, you can hear them coming, they rattle the sky with a crashing piston percussion that is in inescapable of the source. When one hears the banging of dual rotary engines blasting their way into the sky there is no doubt that a fantastic sight will soon be seen. Most of time I am caught flat footed, no camera in hand or frantically plying the lens cap off and reading the meter past the focus and it is gone. A few days ago a perfectly restored B29 ripped a hole through the sky right over my head and was gone before I could do a thing about it. But sometimes these resorted aircraft will simply fly a few circles over Boeing Field as a shake down flight to test the quality of the restoration, or the restorers just want to fly the damn things, and today I was treated with such an event. This Vintage TWA DC2 of the Lindbergh Line and a collection of other vintage aircraft that included a Boeing Biplane, a WWII AT29 and a P-51 Mustang flew multiple times over my home. I was ready for them. The view from my front yard provides only a few gaps between the forest and the sky. I listened to the rattling explosions of the pistons echoing across the unseen and tried to predict where the thing, whatever it might be would emerge.
World Health Day April 7
The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on April 7th, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organizations.
In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate the 7th day of April each year, effective in April 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO’s founding, and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year. The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day related to a particular theme. World Health Day is acknowledged by various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight their support in media reports, such as the Global Health Council.
Some topics which the WHO have explored and explained include: Protecting health from adverse affects of climate change; Making hospitals safe in emergencies; Microbiological resistance; Aging and health; Healthy blood pressure; The treat of insect and reptile bites; Food safety; Diabetes, and Depression.
In recent days, our medical professionals are seeing extreme amounts of stress due to the COVID-19 virus. We appreciate their work, and we pray that they are kept safe and given courage to treat those who are sick or dying.

I'm taking everything out of the Lego room in order to put in a loft bed. This is the start, but it still seems like I've hardly put a dent in getting stuff out. Space is definitely a factor in Lego collecting.

Taken from a flight just after take off from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), on my way from Detroit to Seattle.
Some facts I compiled about Minneapolis from Wikipedia:
- Minneapolis lies on both banks of the Mississippi River, just north of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Saint Paul, the state's capital.
- Known as the "Twin Cities," Minneapolis-St. Paul is the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the U.S., with 3.5 million residents.
- The city is abundantly rich in water with over twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi river, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway.
- Five Fortune 500 headquarters are in Minneapolis proper: Target Corporation, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise Financial, and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
- It was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber, and today is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle.
- In 2007 Minneapolis was named America's most literate city, it has cultural organizations that draw creative people and audiences to the city for theater, visual art, writing, and music.
- The region is second only to New York City in live theater per capita and is the third-largest theater market in the U.S. after New York and Chicago.
- The Minneapolis park system has been called the best-designed, best-financed, and best-maintained in America.
- More than 40% of adults in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area give time to volunteer work, the highest such percentage of any large metropolitan area in the United States.
- European Americans (German and Scandinavian) make up about two-thirds of Minneapolis's population. The German Americans in the city, making up over one-fifth (23.1%) of the population. The Scandinavian American population is primarily Norwegian and Swedish.

Blurry view of my "office" side, but you can see the rolling file cabinet. I tried to keep almost everything off the floor so my toddler can play while I'm working, and I don't have to worry about her getting into too much trouble.
Home this week for home repairs. Decided to do something I had mentioned since I bought my first Petite girl last year! Today I got it done. This is half of the 2.5 gallon ziplock bag filled with individual fashions. I tried to remember as much as possible, mainly color scheme.
Some were left as singles as the fashion packs were meant to mix and match. There are some single fashions included. The majority of these fashions did not make it on an doll for the main reason ... it didn't fit. Whether the bust was too tight or the thighs to big, the clothes just didn't have the cross over fit from the Hillary Duff sized dolls at the time. And I didn't like the longer face, but did buy one. You know to have.
A couple dresses did make it on to the newly introduced Model Muse dolls. Mainly South Beach, Milan ... dang and I have all three in a picture somewhere! Other than that, they sat in the clothes bin in this 2.5 gallon ziplock. Until now ...
You've got to love it when organization and uncluttering means that you get to go and buy stuff! Have been slowly, very slowly, working through all the rooms in the house. The kitchen is only the second and will be the one that gets done in between the others because there is the rare week that you can keep the kitchen torn up and because the stuff at the Container Store is not cheap!
YOU'VE GOT TO WONDER where these condescending Crown organizations find those bureaucratic disconnects who are so far removed from any passionate knowledge of the history of Canada that they would attempt to replace 65 Carl Hall Road with hockey arenas. There are a hundred other sites WITHIN Parc Downsview Park's 572 acres that could house a 4-plex hockey arena, but some yahoo wants to bulldoze the Canadian Air and Space Museum and put it there.
In the old days, at the turn of the last century we use to horse-whip individuals who dared to sally forth with such tomfoolery.
Now, we actually hear them out.
I'm all for Canada maintaining hockey dominance on the international scene…but not at the expense of our great Canadian aviation history.
Aviation is another area where Canada ONCE dominated, however briefly, and we need to acknowledge that.
Young Canadians need to see and reflect on our past.
And where better than at the actual historic site of the de Havilland Aircraft Company of Canada, right where their first plant was located at 65 Carl Hall Road.
De Havilland first produced British designed aircraft (de Havilland Moths) under licence in order to train up Canadian airmen across the country in the 30s. But, later in the 40s, over 1100 units of the legendary de Havilland Mosquito were produced at 65 Carl Hall Road for action in WW II. In the Cold War, over 200 of these Canadian-made Downsview Mosquitos saw fighting action again, and were involved in Communist suppression in China, by a then-decree of the Canadian government.
Bigger projects were in store for Downsview's de Havilland Aircraft Company of Canada, though.
The De Havilland Aircraft Company of Canada went on to design and manufacture 8 wholly Canadian aircraft.
You might have heard of some of them.
1) DHC-1 Chipmunk
2) DHC-2 Beaver
3) DHC-3 Otter
4) DHC-4 Caribou
5) DHC-5 Buffalo
6) DHC-6 Twin Otter
7) DHC-7 Dash 7
8) DHC-8 Dash 8
The first four designs were exclusive to 65 Carl Hall Road and the nearby hangers. The Caribou, Buffalo, Twin Otter, Dash 7, and Dash 8 were manufactured on the south side of Downsview airfield at the Garratt Blvd facility. The Dash 8 continues on as the Bombardier Q400 which is still in commercial production today.
The Cold War fostered the development of a Canadian Guided Missile Division, located, guess where? I'll give you a hint, its on Carl Hall Road. This era drew a whole new breed of scientists with a whole new agenda. This time in space.
The Canadian-built Alouette I satellite was both designed and assembled at 65 Carl Hall Road. The Alouette I became the first satellite in the world—that would be put into space by a country, other than the USA, or the USSR. SPAR began right here as well. SPAR, you remember, went on to produce the Canada Arm for NASA's space shuttles.
In spite of all this rich history, Parc Downsview Park has the bulldozers on stand-by to level 65 Carl Hall Road. Six months and counting down…
Parc Downsview Park advertises itself as a place for all Peoples. It's just not Canadian friendly.
Isn't it funny that no matter what noble thing people try to do, I'm thinking of the thousands of Canadian Air and Space Museum volunteers that have put hundreds of thousands of hours into restoring historical Canadian aircraft (Tracker, Lancaster, CF-5 etc) or restoring historical Canadian jet engines (Jetliner Derwent, the Orenda 5 etc) building another Arrow(see above photo), or hosting great aviation history commemorative events that even Jim Floyd attended…there's always some Judas waiting in the wings to push his own petty agenda, and ruin everything.
There is one more thing Canadians need to know.
OF ALL THE GTA AIRFIELDS that were a part of Canada's EARLY robust aviation history:
▪ Armour Heights Field 1917-1919
▪ Barker Field 1927-1953
▪ Leaside Aerodrome 1927-1931
▪ Long Branch Aerodrome 1915-1919
▪ Toronto Aerodrome 1928-1939
Only Downsview Airfield 1929–present STILL remains.
That's right, just Downsview!
Downsview remains connected to its illustrious aviation past with one operational airfield still owned and managed by Bombardier Aerospace (the successors to de Havilland Canada) and ALSO through the existence of the Canadian Air and Space Museum at 65 Carl Hall Road who should also be the final tenants at number 65.
The Canadian Air and Space Museum (CASM) resides in the hanger that once was the original manufacturing building of de Havilland Canada. Well, that ongoing historical residence is quite precarious now.
The Canadian Air and Space Museum last week was tendered its eviction notice September 20, 2011 from the Parc Downsview Park (a Crown corporation) because they were $100,000 in rent arrears.
Why the Canadian Air and Space Museum was paying ANY RENT, and why they don't also have the former associated de Havilland hanger unit in their possession…just boggles my Canadian mind.
So I guess the TAM Arrow gets tossed to the curb along with the RAF Nimrod tail Memorial that the Museum has housed for the families of the seven RAF airmen who sadly lost their lives while performing in the Canadian International Air Show, in Toronto, in 1995.
The British are going to love to hear how tiny Canada has become in its mentality.
You have to wonder why a Crown corporation (Parc Downsview Park ) would thoughtlessly damage the museum's reputation and enlist a sheriff to LOCK OUT Museum personnel and CASM members for rent arrears.
Again, WHY IS THE MUSEUM EVEN PAYING ANY RENT, Parc Downsview Park? What has Park Judas ever done to preserve Canadian history? Seems you want to steamroller over it—that's your pathetic 'vision'.
What a bunch of losers.
All last week I have been getting emails (even from Americans) and message appeals asking me what I think? Why this happening to the Museum? Don't Canadians preserve their history? Why is the Museum even paying rent? Why was the Museum not just given the lands—by the Government of Canada? Etc., etc.
Folks, I am just as bewildered as you are!
I have no idea why Parc Downsview Park are such development-obsessed, history-destroying ding-dongs!
They don't get it. They'll never get it. Stooges never do.
You are dealing with bureaucratic disconnects who promise to save a few bricks from the facade of the Museum and put them in the new four-rink hockey arena.
How thoughtful, how nice.
PUBLC APPEAL: Tonight, Parc Downsview Park is coincidentally holding their annual public meeting at 35 Carl Hall Road at 7;30pm. I know there will be a real temptation to heave tomatoes at these idiots. There ARE a••holes. Don't be one.
Ask them why they are destroying Canadian history.
Accept no excuses—that's exactly what they've proposed.
The arenas can go elsewhere on the site, somewhere, more conveniently located. Like, right on Keele. Why hasn't THAT been proposed?
Even for dummies from the Parc, this alone should be a no brainer…why locate well inside the Park when you can locate on the Park's edge THUS making access much easier for those parents and their kids who will use the future sport facilities.

Seen in the picture is the Canadian Air and Space Museum's Arrow replica, loving built from scratch by Museum volunteers for Canadians to enjoy, and help them to revisit our glorious aviation past that was Avro Canada. Bombardier Canada, the other Canadian aviation success story has some very interesting aircraft displays at the Museum.
