@katerberg — I was thinking that it was the first episode of the most recent US LegoMasters season. The Australian challenges have interesting differences to the US show — I kinda like them both.

@katerberg - It's an interesting episode

#BellinghamWA is going to experience an annular "Ring of Fire" eclipse on Saturday, October 14th at 8am. I've got my fingers crossed for good viewing weather.

@Khayman - I'm picturing anyone (*except* a young, white, twink); with a catsuit open to his stomach and a hairy chest; and a strong disregard (loathing?) for capitalism and billionaires. Oh, and a knack for improvised tools and weapons. 💥

@motoridersd - So sweet! ❤️

This is what a scientist looks like. 

Accompanied by two images: The left is of a Black woman (presumably Dr. Twum) in a lab coat, in a lab setting, laughing; the second is the same woman looking at camera with a fierce expression that says "I belong here, what you gon' do about it?"  (The hairdo is switched to a mohawk, contributing to the ferocity.)

@JesseSkinner — I often get bogged down with the preceding and prep tasks that need to get done before the subdivided tasks can even start.

@brickabrad (Instagram) and I were signing autographs last weekend at #BrickCon2023. It was so much fun to meet fans of the show and hear how they built with #LEGO.

It was also great to hang out with some of the Season 4 contestants that are in the PNW, and a few that had traveled to Bellevue, WA from out of the area.

My husband Brad talks about his award winning “EveryONE Is Awesome” MOC at #brickcon2023. The kids (of all ages) loved the minifig details and the wild roller-coaster motion. More photos and details to come ❤️

And for my Australian Mastodon friends, this is the US version — not the one with Brickman and Hammish 🇦🇺

For those on IG, I’m @mike_tarrant over there.

#LakeWhatcom Park and Hertz Trail in #BellinghamWA are closed due to a #wildfire that broke out yesterday (caused by a lightning strike).

Here are a couple of photos from Facebook user Bradley Lockhart, one from last night and again this morning, showing how much the fire has grown:

@renwillis Funny! It looks Heath-y.

2023-08-27

@renwillis Love the crane! Also — is that a Heath pottery bowl/jar in the first picture? Love it too.

@motoridersd Having used them in electronics labs and projects, I can validate that those breadboards are rock-solid. Just don’t move them in the slightest way. Or expose them to a breeze. You might also want to avoid strong light sources or loud noises….
