So I don't have all the RocketLab mission patches. But I am on the scrounge for the first two patches... "It's a test" and "Still Testing" Which I know I probably won't get or find anyone wanting to sell them to me...

So the Ducati was parked at work on the street and was knocked over by an engineer reversing out from our forecourt. Then as my bike was knocked over it was knocked into another bike that parked beside and knocked over as well.

Since I have been answering my questions one of the other questions that come up very often is what video editing equipment do I use. Now to be honest 99.9923 percent of my editing is digital and therefore done on the computer. But I use a couple of bits of hardware to help me.

Now you don't need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on a computer to do youtube videos. But it is recommended that you have a semi-decent computer. My current computer is an entry-level gaming setup. with a few tweaks here and there. This is to keep current with the upgrading of software I use as well as just makes it easier editing a video.

Free and Open Source Software.
In this article, I am not going to go into depth with what the difference is between freeware and Open-source software. Also, I will not list any trail software (where they say it is free but is not freeware).
So let's get straight into the list.

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.
I like Lego I can not lie... and while I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.
I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego". Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind this iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.

The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered or non Lego sets.
