SOLD: Lego 6285 Black Seas Barracuda





I'm almost at the end of rebuilding my old Lego collection. Recently, the more I build, the more pieces I'm missing. That's not to say I'm running out of pieces...I have a 2 gallon ziplock full of just black and white pieces. But some pieces are becoming increasingly hard to find, due to age (this set came out in 1989) and neighborhood boys (like all my monkeys and ghosts are missing).

Last night I put together one of my last big sets, the Black Seas Barracuda, a Lego masterpiece of set building. For one, its a PIRATE set, and incredible line. And this thing is HUGE....4 section hull, 2 tall masts, 8 figures, an amazing set, but just too big to display and too nice to let sit in a cardboard box in my basement. So its up for sale over at eBay. So go take a look, and if you like it enough to want to purchase, comment on my blog and we can skip the middleman (you might even get a discount on it).

I bought this set for 15 years ago for my now 21 year old. I now have a 6 year old and would be great if I can buy this boat for him. He loves pirates. Let me know what you want for it. I assume you still have the instructions?

I was sorry to see it go! But had to get some cash and make some room. I still kept my Forbidden Island 6270 among others!

2015 Ford Fusion Replacement Rear Deck Subwoofers

Image
I bought a used 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium earlier this summer and didn't realize one of my rear subs was blown until after purchase. The Sony replacement through my Ford dealer was $80 for ONE, which seemed a little high. I scoured the internet for hours trying to find an affordable/better replacement, which is harder than you think since the original Sony speakers (BG1T-18971-CA) are 2.3 ohms (30w). Evidently, 2ohm subwoofers are a rarity. I called a couple audio shops in town and they had never even heard of them! I also did not want to replace true subs with a 3 way speaker. Finally after hitting several forums, I found CDT Audio (http://www.cdtaudio.com) having the 6x9 2 ohm subwoofers I needed! I emailed and called to make sure I was getting the right stuff, and ordered a pair of official refurbished CL-69Sub/CF for $100 (and cheap shipping!) http://www.cdtaudio.com/sep_components/subwoofers/cl69subcf.php I got in my trunk and looked to see if replacing them myself was i

Camp Hero State Park, Montauk NY

Image
Above: Trail map of Camp Hero State Park in Montauk NY On our last weekend on Long Island, we opted to skip going to the hustle-bustle of Manhattan and instead head East, past the Hamptons, to the very end of Long Island. On our way to  Camp Hero State Park  we had to stop off at the original  Lobster Roll  for, what else, lobster rolls! We grabbed them to go and kept heading east. A tip for all visitors: they aren't kidding about the ticks! Be sure your pet is up to date on their repellent, and I recommend human repellent too! I found several small ticks on my nether-regions, and a few chiggers made nice work of my legs too. We parked just south of the main entrance and ate our lunch along the bluffs near Battery 216, which was a small battery, nothing notable, though the view of the Montauk Lighthouse is impressive. Montauk Lighthouse, from Camp Hero Bluffs We then explored the trail near Battery 113 and climbed a steep trail to get onto the roof of the battery.
