    Any Trekkies around here?

    Star Trek Continues is viewable online.
    The new set is constructed exactly like the original.

    Too funny - -

    I collected most of the Trekkie spaceships from the Hallmark Christmas ornament set over a few years, whenever I found one cheap on flea-bay.

    Not for the Christmas tree - I hang them from the joists in my shop - just started finally putting them up yesterday.

    I also have the TARDIS from Doctor Who, and regular colored balls [plastic - the glass ones had a short shelf-life].

    Neighbors and wife think I am nuts. I assume they have a point in there somewhere?
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    The last mistake she ever made was in April, 1978.

    You're a clever guy - you figure it out.

    Hey. I've got 47 years experience of being wrong.
    I'm so used to it, I love it now.

    Funny, last October we were in Cardiff Wales, and of course went to the Dr. Who exhibit.

    I found this on a rural road in southern Ontario last spring, it's a shelter for kids to wait for the school bus in.

    Do you remember the very first of the original series? The acting was comparable to this new series.

    Part of its enduring charm.
    The chief writer was a veteran of Cop shows.

    They were desperate, winging it and hoping to get paid.

    It's a recipe for originality.
