I thought I saw something familiar in one corner of the picture. But I think it might actually be a Movie Grimlock instead... My brain is full of Kyoryuger and I did a doubletake on seeing a big chompy Tyrannosaur and thought for a second it was Gabutyra...

I recall thinking my Star Trek Fact Files subscriber t-shirt was the height of coolness.
The folly of youth.

I see many familiar things there... Space Quest for F-01 VHS! Star Trek Fact Files! Those Star Wars reference books, especially the orange one with all the vehicles in! Fact Files were from a friend. Can you see Space Quest's companion, Thalian Space Wars? The vehicles book is SUPERB |

I can't see the Space Wars one, although I do have it. Or at least the cover still. I may have binned the tape.
The vehicles book is the only one of those I've kept. Love it.

Droids is nice too. I've got a version of one of those Star Fleet tapes with different cover dress that runs a little shorter. I would LOVE to own an original of the rental tape of episodes 4 & 5 |

That's probably for the best. I know for a fact that Phil has recently had a retired cyberpunk in to look the place over, so you might find that the security is a bit different to what you might have planned around.

The price is too low when you consider how close it is to a prime location from DOCTOR WHO AND THE INVASION OF THE DINOSAURS.

So each shelf in this book shelf has been moved up one notch about an inch. The Mag box now fits underneath the bottom one. The units to the right have been filled, with the aid of a black plastic unit that has stood in for shelves on the unit on the far right. Today Jonathan removed the last remaining unit from the end of the library. That gives me enough wide shelves to fit out the unit to the right properly and gives Liz two uprights to use with the slim shelves in her room. Bath being fitted today. As I said elsewhere, 2025 budget done. This means we cam afford to move into the bungalow and keep here on while we fix it up. Bed for Jonathan's room has been built in my room which has enabled us to get a better idea of what we're playing with in there Will get some updated garage photos |

It was bleeping me off knowing I'd mucked the assembly up and thought it would be beyond my ability to fix. The key was a spare bit of the black plastic shelving which I could put the books on without having to bend over. Made the job so much easier. And I did it spread out over multiple visits. By contrast the plastic tubs down the end which need to come off should be a lot simpler to move. |

Because the wooden Evars have more shelf levels that the black plastic things what was on the end unit has come down to about 2/3 of the space freeing up room for an extra 3 x 32L plastic tubs |

Ssshhhhhhh!
Shhhhhhh
Don't listen to it.
Take my hand, come on, we're going to go together. Nice and easy. That's it, Doc', don't listen to what it's telling you. No don't look back! Focus on me: ON ME. Come on, that's it. Don't worry about Big Phil, it's too late for him. Yeah I know, it's sad, ouch, hurts bad. But you're gonna be ok, Doc', you're gonna be ok.

Since we've not had one for a while, and today will be the last chance for a bit with a clear view, here's the present state of the garage:   |

It's taken me a while, but I've finally spotted where Jonathan put my Ultrasaurus on Saturday.
Shouldn't be easy to loose one of those and yet .....

Just back from a trip to the garage at the bungalow.
When we took the plastic drawers down the other day it was far too dark too see properly so I needed to finish reassembling them and have a general tidy up. I took down a box of recent TF arrivals and 3 new epics, all now correctly shelved. I brought back Core Volcanicuus, ready to face his opposition when it arrives in a day or so, and WFC Micromaster Laserbeak, who was missing when I got all the tapes out to display with the new arrivals. I correctly reasoned he was in WFC Soundwave's chest
