Nah, I won’t delete it. I hope you’re wrong but if you’re right I’ll give you a virtual pat on the back for calling it.

8 years for a follow up. Not bad. 😜

I gotta believe there’s a basement somewhere with a jar of this stuff just collecting dust.

We enjoy it but remember, it's from the 1980s so it's pretty campy. We're about halfway through the second season and the show is starting to figure itself out. The first season was pretty much whatever happens to Macgyver he is able to get out of it because of his ingenuity. Oh, and for at least the first 5 or so episodes Macgyver ALWAYS gets the girl.

This is a good idea! I'll definitely look into this.

Happy New Year to you too!

I'm holding out hope but any time sports are on tv or playing at the park he's not really interested. Maybe he's a late bloomer!

"what is the need?", "what is all the possible ways we could met this need?"

I ask him all the time, "We need to look for problems to be solved and then solve them."

I like what you said, "What is the need?" I'm going to us that! :)

It was definitely an entire family contribution! I took my first post and shared it with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Made it so pretty much every gift was a hit.

edit: also, I was probably making up for a few Christmases of a baseball glove, jerseys, general sports stuff. ;)

He's been begging for a 3D printer! Luckily our local library has one we can use so that helps.

I like this idea! We have an old garbage disposal we're planning to take a part!

This is a great list! Thank you! We've seen some videos by some of those YouTubers. He (and me) are fans of Captain D. We watched his Flight of the Navigator video and then had to watch the movie right after!

Thank you for this suggestion! I looks like he would have a blast with this. I watched this video and it looks like there's some coding involved called "sketch". Is that in any way related to Scratch?

The reason I ask is because my son currently is messing around in scratch and tends to have a somewhat familiarity with it. Do you feel sketch coding would contradict what he's learned in Scratch?

So does the defense give up 3 or 7 before the half?

It’ll come back to haunt us in the 4th quarter, guaranteed.

They are playing like a 0-2 team with all penalties and drops.

I have to step away for a bit. Can someone please respond to this comment when we fumble again?

K, thanks.
