Several new followers recently, so here's a "HELLO" post. I teach gifted kids. I'm a big Chiefs fan. I have many nerdy interests, including Transformers, Godzilla, and comic books. I've also written four books! Two are sci-fi adventures, and two are about lil' nerdy Marc. More at marcallie.com!

Installed a new door handle in my Prius while following a 6 minute YouTube tutorial so I'm pretty much a mechanic now, right? Some parts fell out of the door but they didn't look very important.

Really enjoyed Predator Badlands. It tickled my brain over and over. Something seemed a little off though; I think it's just how much the curtain was lifted. The mystique is gone a bit. But it's going in an interesting direction. We'll see.

Please forgive the dust Long-time readers to the ol’ blog here may have picked up on a thread: my Transformers collection has been shrinking over time. In 2016, 2023, and finally last year in…

Had the grandsons over yesterday and while they played with their dad's old toys, I printed replacement orbs for this Tigerzord. A nice improvement!

Just put these all together for the first time. Spent the last hour watching the Chiefs lose and wondering why Mixmaster's cab didn't rotate up like every other Mixmaster ever and then it turns out it's just a fake plate rotates up. SMH
