Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02565 I do love a LEGO food truck. they are so fun. I love the look of each of them and have a few. This one will go perfectly with the Hamburger food truck. They also have a Toy truck that is out but I haven't found it yet. I'm sure that there are also some retired food trucks as well. They are very fun to make.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02564 I purchased these 8 comic books from 616 comics. They are special covered done by two different artists. The ones on the left are by Tiago Da Silva. I have all of his other Transformers split view comics where one side is of a pristine robot and the other is battle scarred. I did not know that he had done Soundwave and Jazz until recently. So when I got some Christmas money I decided to get these comics. The ones on the right side are by Bjorn Barends. They depict Optimus Prime facing off against Megatron. The Megatron one is the perfect comic book for him because in it Megatron returns in a huge way.  I recently reread and read for the first time all 80 comics from the original Transformers comic book run from Marvel. I never had all of them until last year. Now I have them and also a compendium of all of them plus the UK versions of the comic and some short stories and more. There is a lot in the compendium. I've been trying to reread my entire Transformers...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02563 Today I received a new Transformers figure called Road Rage. He is an Autobot that is the same style as Tracks. Tracks is the blue Corvette and that was the original one that I've had since the 80's. Road rage is a great looking figure, too. It arrived in robot mode and I was able to transform it down to a car so that he could slip in with the rest of the Autobot cars.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02562 We had rehearsal tonight and I had brought gifts for everyone but I have yet to give them out. I ordered these cute little stone wolves to give to everyone. I thought that tonight would be a good night to give them out but I think I'll pass them out on opening night.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02561 Today was the first snow of the year. We got enough to have to shovel but not enough to pull out the snowblower. I ended up going out during my break and shoveling off the snow from our neighbor and then I had Andy shovel the rest around our house. Then got some sleep.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02560 With a day off tomorrow andy has been preparing for a D&D session with friends. One thing that andy has done to prepare is to create several Wanted posters for the campaign. Andy had purchased some special paper for one of their new hobbies, Wax seals. Andy has been using the papers for letters but tonight they made some cool wanted posters. Andy found some files of characters to point and on the distressed papers and then used paint to mark up the posters and add Wanted to the top of each one. I thought that was pretty slick.
