Is there a better way to spend Saturday?

Middle one turned 10 on the weekend (well, in base 8 anyway, in base 2 he is 1000). As part of the festivities and frivolity he got a Lego(r) Imperial Star Destroyer.

From 10 am to 8 pm (including beaks for lunch, dishwashing and dinner), we worked on this together, solidly (occasionally "assisted" by Smallest One). We completed it together. It is awesome. It opens, it fires missiles, it launches an escape pod. Talk about father son bonding.

Now the Bettdeckererschnappender weisle and I have come down with the Lurgi (actually, Lurgi's, different ones for each of us of course), so Southern Skywatch isn't up tonight. But we completed the Imperial Star destroyer.
