man i love that old castle / medieval knights lego.
My two favourite sets were the castle collections and the classic pirate ships (with the cloth sails). I got a vintage imperial ship and some Merlin house, but I always wanted a full on castle when I was a kid. That was mucho $$$ back then.
did you say castle?!?!
castle and pirate are my 2 favorite classic themes. unfortunately those were out of reach during my childhood. the pirates ships are sooooo hard to come by in decent condition. those cloth sails are usually falling apart or all sun faded. all the good condition ones are asking way too much. i have 6 ships waiting to be rebuilt, they did not survive the move 3 years ago.
haha pro tip: do not start a lego collection until youre in your forever home.

agreed!!! this is a great set. theres so much interior details and mini figs.
its expensive but pretty good value for the piece count.
We do have pocono, lime rock, NJMP, Monticello, and a couple other tracks within 2 hr drive.
I have no.1 hwy tunnel, Kingsway at night, and the infamous Blundell pullout

R8 around 70k km:

- 10k for magneride shocks (they will leak no matter which manufacture they’re in, GM/Audi/Ferraei)
- 10k for clutch
I sold my 10,000KM magneride shocks that I picked up from the dumpster to some dealer owner in Langley for $2k, maybe I should've kept them
I have a few castle sets, but not sure if my parents have given them away. We had the large one with a draw bridge and a ghost. I think I had a pirate ship but I was never really into it.

multiple green dragons is dedication
i used to have that small grey castle set and the associated larger set that is a square but can fold out width wise. brings back memories
I thought my Raspberry Pi was broken. Turns out it was just the power supply. Replaced it and finally got a Pi Hole setup and running.

best ninjago dragon imo. what i hate about ninjago is its japanese themed but all the dragons are medieval
i underestimated how many pieces i needed to mod the tree house. 400 pieces here, probably needs another 600 to finish.
My old pirate ship sails are still in great condition but that’s because I left them in a plastic box in the closet for all these years. Hell that ship is 30 years old. I got it when I was 10.
Damn... those 2 old skool castles at the top are so awesome. I used to have one that is very similar to your white one (on the right), but mine was in gray. I love the draw bridge and the drop down gate. But I don't even know where it might be now.

TIL you can crack a countertop if you directly place a plastic tub of warm water (130F) on it for a few hours. That just made this budget steak dinner a lot more expensive.

What kind of countertop? I sous vide a lot on my countertop including doing carrots at 183F for Xmas and I've never had a problem.
