Sounds better than the salmonella tortillas we had that night. Never again will I get within a sniff of Mexican food.

I'm cooking some good ol' yank food for supper.
Steak, Potatoes, Brussels sprouts.. maybe a 3 bean salad.. Or chief salad.. or cole slaw..
Then a big honk'n slice o'cherry pie... Á la Mode
I love Brussels Sprouts but I would hardly call them yank food. Substitute corn on the cob for a more Colonial touch. but personally, I would stick with the sprouts.

Well they were in my freezer, Nigel.
And my freezer is in America.. So I yanked them out and cooked them up.

Houston, we've had a problem.
I was working like gangbusters on stage two yesterday. Jose apparently thought I was working too fast.
Jose: Señor Brian, You are working muy, muy, fast. Slow down and take a siesta before you make a mistake, por favor.
Me: No way Jose! I'm doing just fine.
...and that's when tragedy struck.
Deep in the core of stage two there are four attachment points. These points are to be aligned vertically. Stupid me aligned them horizontally.
Of course I did not notice this until I was attaching bits to these points while completing the
exterior of stage two. Disaster was avoided be reorienting the attachment points using a long pair of tweezers. I couldn't see what I was doing inside the rocket so I had to work by feel, not sight.
All's well that ends well. Here is the completed stage two of the mighty Saturn V.
Woo hoo! Onto bag eleven and the construction of stage three.

Just a quick question, Brian - can you dismantle this model back into its component parts, or is it something that, once built, has to stay built ?

You can dismantle it back into its 1,969 parts if one wishes.

I see that it has a bar code; is that so they can check out as they pass the ISS?
