Sounds better than the salmonella tortillas we had that night. Never again will I get within a sniff of Mexican food.

I'm cooking some good ol' yank food for supper.

Steak, Potatoes, Brussels sprouts.. maybe a 3 bean salad.. Or chief salad.. or cole slaw.. *-)

Then a big honk'n slice o'cherry pie... Á la Mode
I love Brussels Sprouts but I would hardly call them yank food. Substitute corn on the cob for a more Colonial touch. but personally, I would stick with the sprouts.

Houston, we've had a problem. :-O

Image

I was working like gangbusters on stage two yesterday. Jose apparently thought I was working too fast.

Jose: Señor Brian, You are working muy, muy, fast. Slow down and take a siesta before you make a mistake, por favor.
Me: No way Jose! I'm doing just fine.

...and that's when tragedy struck. :doh: Deep in the core of stage two there are four attachment points. These points are to be aligned vertically. Stupid me aligned them horizontally. :wall: Of course I did not notice this until I was attaching bits to these points while completing the exterior of stage two. Disaster was avoided be reorienting the attachment points using a long pair of tweezers. I couldn't see what I was doing inside the rocket so I had to work by feel, not sight.

All's well that ends well. Here is the completed stage two of the mighty Saturn V. :)

Woo hoo! Onto bag eleven and the construction of stage three. B-)

Just a quick question, Brian - can you dismantle this model back into its component parts, or is it something that, once built, has to stay built ?

You can dismantle it back into its 1,969 parts if one wishes. :)

I see that it has a bar code; is that so they can check out as they pass the ISS? :hide:
