I decided to get a little creative tonight with one of my old favorite PC games Rollercoaster Tycoon. There is something special about that game. I return to it often when I’m stressed. Recently we watched “How to Train Your Dragon.” The star dragon of the movie of course is “Toothless” a night fury dragon. I thought I would make a little kiddy coaster in Rollercoaster Tycoon themed after a night fury! Here’s my creation!

I know it’s not likely that any of my readers still play Rollercoaster Tycoon like I do. But I’ve included a download to my coaster creation. Catch ya next time.

This weekend, Heather and I stayed home. Yesterday we got out for a bit of tennis. Found a nearly deserted tennis court in a small park near downtown Richmond. Stumbled onto a small badminton birdie next to the net. Looks like someone must have tried to play badminton on a tennis court. That might not workout well unless you’re a munchkin. I was glad no one was around. I’m very new to the game. Not to mention a little clumsily. Heather showed me some tips. Hopefully next game won’t seem too much like golf (chasing a ball around all day).

After tennis we waited around for Catie and David to get home for a cookout. That was a blast, we stayed out all evening. Great weather we’re having. Dave cooked up some burgers and brats. Catie made some delved eggs. Heather made some cheese rolls. We played Phase 10. We let the kitties out for a little while. The cats loved that. By 11:00pm I was out of it. Sleepy.

This morning we opted to stay indoors. I went and got some Taco Bell. Best service from Taco Bell yet. The lady behind the counter was very nice. Our order was right. Kudos to Taco Bell of Richmond. Sorry… I rarely get good service from Taco Bell in Lexington. Then again the Taco Bell near work in Lex is a training store. Can’t expect the best from newbies. Wouldn’t be surprised if I got asked…

Trainee: “Would you like fries with that?”

No.. I don’t think Taco Bell serves fries. But never less every other fast food restaurant does. Anyways… Moving on. Heather’s been working on finishing up Lego: Indiana Jones for the Wii. Just as fun to watch as it is to play. I’ve been playing one of my favorite games of all time “Roller Coaster Tycoon.” You may see a post about that in a few days. Been 10 years since its first release in 1999. Yes, I’m playing a 10 year old game and loving it. Even though its been around for 10 years, I haven’t beat it yet. Maybe with time I will. Otherwise you’ll hear me blogging about it 10 more years from now. We’ll see.
