To get to Jim's house, we had to fight through a nasty rain storm and numerous multi-vehicle accidents on the freeways. There were times we couldn't see the road because it was raining so hard the wipers couldn't keep up! We safely made it to the house and visited with Jim and his wife. It was good to see them again and to see all the progress Jim has made on his many Robot Projects. Jim's Living Room has sevral life-size Robots in it and it is so cool. There's Robby, from Forbidden Planet, The B9 Lost in Space Robot, Bender, C3PO, a Jawa, from Star Wars, Rosie from the Jetson's Cartoon Classic that is in the initial stages, and R2D2 which is also in the beginning stages of parts collecting. Jim is about 90% finished with the very cool animated Bus Stop Robots that will grace his entryway on the porch outside when completed. It's really cool to be able to talk to other people that share the same passion in full size functioning Robots from TV and Movies. We discussed the various Robots we've built and the many solutions to the problems encountered we all agreed that this hobby is a passion and we each have it bad. Another thing we've agreed on we have very understanding wives!
