Used our SUP caddy to pick up a Christmas tree from a local farm today. Grown right here in this valley. Also we finally got snow.

Day 10: Moisture Vaporator
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 10: Moisture Vaporator. Well the string of good builds had to end eventually. It’s just sad and boring sitting there all alone. If they’d included Luke’s home or a little bit of desert landscape, it would have been fine. Thumbs down.
Day 9: Ugly Sweater C-3PO
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 9: Ugly Sweater C-3PO. I love the R2-D2 embroidered on the sweater. Great holiday-themed minifigure. Thumbs up.
Day 8: Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 8: Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper. This one is a bit obscure as only part of the ship is briefly shown during A New Hope while Luke is cleaning C-3PO. Another satisfying micro ship build. Thumbs up.
Day 7: Luke’s Landspeeder
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 7: Luke’s Landspeeder. Another cool micro vehicle. I like the studs for Luke and C-3PO and the exposed engine on the left side where the cowling was removed. Should be faded red instead of tan though. Thumbs up.
Day 6: The Marauder
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 6: The Marauder. AKA the Bad Batch’s attack shuttle. A nice recovery from yesterday’s stumble. Thumbs up.
Day 5: Battle Droid
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 5: Battle Droid. Great, another clanker. I hate that they depict the enemy troops of the Prequel Trilogy as buffoons played for comic relief. At least they included a blaster, so maybe tomorrow won’t be a weapons rack. Thumbs down.
Cat under the tree
And of course one of our cats wasted no time curling up on the tree skirt and falling asleep.
Aluminum Christmas Tree 2022
We set up our vintage aluminum Christmas tree today, but this year with Hue lights. Still playing with the colors and effects.
Day 4: Acclamator-Class Assault Ship
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 4: Acclamator-Class Assault Ship. As seen in the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones. Another great micro ship build. Thumbs up.
