It’s Wednesday. This is a 1967 Ford Mustang GT500 made almost entirely out of wood. The amount of talent it takes to craft something this beautifully intricate out of ordinary chunks of wood must be ridiculous. It features a working hood, opening doors, rolling wheels, and even functional steering! And it took only 3 weeks to accomplish. By comparison, even if I had several lifetimes and the most bitchin’ tools available, I still couldn’t build anything that would even remotely resemble a vehicle, let alone a classic Mustang! Check out the video to see how it was built and stick around to the end to see a test drive.

It’s Tuesday. It all started with text. High Score tells the story of computer games and the introduction of computer graphics. I watched the entire first season and it was a nostalgic trip starting with Spacewar to the groundbreaking Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. If you were around for the dawn of computer gaming, you’ll love this retrospective look back. If not, check it out for the history lesson! High Score is available to watch now on Netflix.

It’s Monday. Had a really good weekend. The heatwave finally broke and cooler less humid weather moved in. That made for a comfortable Saturday afternoon out at our friends’ place on the Kankakee River. They have an enormous deck that overlooks the water and is situated directly across from a small island and sandbar where people like to hang out, swim, and party. Having the river in your front yard is like having a gigantic panoramic TV that’s constantly feeding endless live entertainment. Had a great time out there and hope to get back soon.

And Sunday? Gorgeous weather again so we spent the day out in the Corvette soaking up the sun. Now that summer is beginning to wrap up, ya gotta take advantage of every nice weekend that comes along.

Gonna sleep good tonight.
