AUGH!

 A while ago, Shadow was kind enough to knock my Lego Atredes Ornithopter off the dresser.

Like all such events, it broke apart into its component parts spectacularly.

Because the wings have a folding and flapping mechanism, it was not a simple matter of just putting it back together because the linkages were now loose and misaligned.

I'd have to take it even more apart to start back to reassembly.

So I put it off for months.

Tonight I decided to, finally, put it back together.

I got it all the way to mounting the wings when I noticed I had parts left over.

Structural parts.

I needed to take it apart almost as far as when I started to get those pieces back in.

But it is back together and placed where the cats don't go.

HUZZAH!

  1. A place where "cats don't go"? Brother, are you an optimist.

    1. Even the adventurer, Beeper, doesn't go on top of the Billy® Bookcase. The other three are too lazy to consider it.

      A new cat might cause us to reconsider, but I know my shitheads.
