Hi, my friend @galenkp
Yes, you got a smile out of me with your Lego build.
I haven't played with Lego in decades. I remember the last set I bought to put together with my kids was the one of a spaceship from the Star War series.
As you say, the assembly process demands your attention and takes your mind off everyday worries.
These days, I de-stress myself by improving my Rubik's cube times using the beginner's method. When I reach a decent time, I will learn the other variants (I know at least eight different ways), so I have enough challenges in mind.
Of course, I don't rule out taking up the famous Legos in the future. Something like the famous Back to the Future movie. Who knows, I might even build the Delorian.
Greetings.
It's a pretty cool one right? Only small, but it packed a solid fun-punch.
I stopped building Lego many years ago and several years ago took it up again and have rekindled my love for it. Building it makes me recall those days as a kid sitting on the floor at home with my brothers and dad making stuff out of Lego.
The Rubik's cube was always something that confounded me and I've only completed it once...by taking it apart and reassembling it. I know, that doesn't count, but at the time I felt like the Rubik's cube champion of the world...for about ten seconds.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. That technique for reassembling the cube looks to me like you took it from Lego. Yes, I think both games have something in common: to train our spatial intelligence.
Yes, some call it cheating, I call it innovating. Lol.
