More Clutter....Obsessions are bigger than My House

I got news that a local pawn shop had an R2D2 cooler that was used as a Pepsi promotion a few months back. I wanted to get one then, but I couldn't get a hold of one...so this was my opportunity.

I went at lunch time to get it...and it didn't even fit in my car. Too bad I didn't have a hatchback (like Joanne) sometimes. Anyways I paid for it, then went back to work. Luckily laer that day a guy from work was running some work errands int he area so he stopped in and grabbed it for me. He was nice enough to drop it off last night for me. Once I got it in my basement I realized how big it is (bigger than the *real R2D2). I figure once I am done building my R2D2 the workbench and tools can get out of the basement, and it can go over there somewhere.















I also just got an emal from the guy who has my "broken" Interactive R2D2. He has replaced a sensor with one from his R2 and it is WORKING! All he needs to do is get a sensor for mine and solder it in. SWEET!

The other day I saw that London Drugs had some gumball machines with stands. I have a couple cheap ones, but one with a stand would be a nice touch.















I glued the aluminum coloured cylinder into the middle of R2's leg last night. I still have quite a bit of detal work to do on his leg...before I move on to leg #2 (THAT I STILL DON'T HAVE).

















Here is R2 guarding my basement....with no legs.























* Yes I know R2D2 isn't real.
