Well I’ve some problems which slowed things down but my kids managed to finish their #Lego sets so I figured I should push on with mine.

Managed to sort out the problems and just about to move on to bag five of the Delorian.

Don't get distracted by the aims of your peers.

By all means, aim high but be realistic.

Don't aim for the unreachable just to align yourself with someone else.

Giving up on the insurmountable doesn't mean you have high standards, it means you're giving yourself excuses.

And here it is. The GMK Sparta keys on the Keychron Q1 #keyboard. I’m really happy with them.

The GMK Sparta keycaps arrived this evening. They should look great on the Q1 #keyboards
