It’s Wednesday. When I was a kid one of my favorite toys was my LEGO set. Back then there weren’t themed sets, so you had to rely on your imagination to build the things you wanted. I can still remember building numerous Mach 5’s, improving on the design with each new build. They were crude in design because I was limited to square blocks and very few angled bricks. Still, in my mind it was Speed Racer’s Mach 5.

These days LEGO has hundreds of specialized sets that allow you the ability to recreate everything in the Star Wars universe to… well, just about anything! One of the latest sets to catch my eye is one of the most iconic vehicles of all time, the Lamborghini Countach. This kit has got me thinking that it might be time to reactivate my building skills… and wouldn’t it look cool in my office!

It’s Tuesday. Over the years I’ve featured many videos and photos from the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. In addition to all the new automotive goodies, they have cars—lots of cars—that are simply spectacular. And every year it only gets better than the last. The video featured today is a walk-around that focuses on the stars of the show, the incredible array of resto-mods, muscle cars, hot rods, and more. Sit back and take in all the automotive goodness that SEMA had to offer this past year!

It’s Monday. The horrid white stuff started to fall Thursday night and continued throughout the day Friday. Then we got a little more early Sunday morning. I’m not a fan of winter, but our dog Abby absolutely loves it. I took her to a park near our home and she proceeded to run, leap, roll, and bury her face in the snow. I guess when you’re mostly Sheepdog and your entire body is covered in thick fur, you couldn’t care less about freezing temperatures. And then there’s me, with no fur, freezing my ass off.

Mecum Collector Car auctions is in Kissimmee, Florida, for their annual show. This year they have a record breaking total of 4,500 cars to auction off. Thankfully, my DVR started recording the coverage the other day, so I had hours of footage to watch all Sunday afternoon. It’s like watching a seemingly endless parade of collectible cars right in your own living room! I loved every second of it and they have another week to go!

I caught Kevin Costner’s new film Horizon – An American Saga Part 1. Written and directed by Costner, the story follows an Apache tribe and a group of settlers as they struggle with brutal reality of navigating life in the wild West. I liked it. If you’re a fan of great western epics, I think you’ll enjoy this film. Check it out on Netflix.

Okay, time to get back to work…
