Hey Everyone,
Q1 2020 -
Q1 2020 started out with the FUBAR Robotics Corp,
regrouping from their 1st competition and entered their 2nd Qualifying
tournament. The Young FUBAR heirs had another successful day and walked
away with various awards, including -
2nd Place Inspire
Robot Finalist
1st Place Design
FUBAR Heir Alex “Back to the Lobby Buddy” M, then
maneuvered over to the HS robotics program
where he was integral in helping to build the field and assist as
necessary with the team logistics.

Off to the UK in Feb to celebrate Gran...
AS the Covid Virus swept through the country,
major league baseball (among other sports) decided they would have no
fans. However, you could purchase a "doppleganger" to occupy a
seat in the stadium for the games. Alex was one such lucky fan for
the Texas Rangers...
Q2/Q3 2020
-
It was during the end of Q2 and onward that the FUBAR
CEO/Founder began to turn to inward to creative outlets and so, with the
FUBAR Heirs, The Dave “Darth Mater” and Master Alex “Monkey” and Jess
“Bunny Bean” would begin to create an entire world of fantasy tabletop
gaming scenery - from scratch...

Middle of Q3 saw S.M.A.R.T.-III (Super Mini Awesome
Road-Trip) which would take the Cyber Kid and entourage to West TX to
enjoy a weekend VRBO in Glen-Rose, TX which allowed the troupe to social
distance around downtown Glen Rose, Granbury, Dinosaur Valley State Park
and Fossil Rim Wildlife Park. A nice little getaway before the kids
headed back to school.

Additionally, End of summer saw the kick-off of the
2020/2021 FTC season Ultimate Goal. The RoboRangers (Team 9010
would regroup and begin to brainstorm ideas for what would be a
mostly/all virtual competition season). Finally, Q3 would end
with the Cyber Kid contracting the Covid Virus and spending two
weeks in total “isolation” (Lucky to have a spare bedroom - the
Cyber Kid had zero interaction with the kids or animals) and
left to deal with the symptoms. For 14 days the Cyber Kid
basically binge watched various TV (Ozark S 01-03, The Expanse S
01-04, Raised By Wolves S01, Peaky Blinders S03-05, Stranger
Things S02-03and The Boys - S01/02 and played The Last Of Us
Part 1. |

Q4 would start off with the Cyber Kid released from
"Covid-Jail"
and felt pretty much like any other FALL with Alex & Jess heading back
to school, the Cyber Kid continued and completed a restoration of a
1960’2 KENT Polaris I guitar as well and Jess & the Cyber Kid took task
to painting up some D&D dragons Red Dragon (J), White Dragon (D),
Blue Dragon (J), Black Dragon (J),
Green Dragon (J) and a Steampunk Dragon (D)

Q4 rolled out with all the socially distanced
Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday extravaganza one could muster during a
year which constantly reminded us to give it the middle digit!
The group enjoyed TSO and AJR live streamed events, an
entire movie to themselves to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” and a
Christmas Eve Carriage ride.

OH, and just in case you still don't have this
memorized (YET)!?...
Since I left you last I was entertaining a
major coffee habit but two years ago I was able
(in about 4 days actually) to go from 5-6 cups a day to one!
While I do still drink 5-6 cups of "coffee" a day only one
of them now actually is caffeinated! So, with this I
felt I needed to update my four cups list! -
There are four cups of coffee consumed in
the morning. Each cup is named/labeled by the
emotional state that it facilitates in the drinker.
The four cups are labeled as follows -
1. :oI - The "Up" Cup (Decaf/Optional
1/2 Caff.); to wake
you... as the smooth aroma entices you and the silky taste
prepares you for
2. :o) - The "Happy" Cup (The
FULL One w/ Caffeine!); as the neurons
start to fire and the body kicks to life, shifting into
"high" gear, a sense of well-being overcomes...
3. :o[ - The "Angry" Cup;
(Decaf) "well-being" is
cast aside as the desire to choke the living daylights out
of a random stranger for all the problems in the world
ensues... plus you no longer get the rush from the caffeine
so that pretty much bums you out...
4. :o\ - The "Motivation" Cup
(Decaf/Optional 1/2 Caff. cup);
after realizing that violence isn't (necessarily) the answer
and the fact that you've been sitting at the coffee shop for
a few hours, this cup "snaps" you back to the reality that
you actually have "stuff" to do and so, with this refill...
you leave... and either get some stuff done (if you went
with the Caf) or crash on the couch (with the Decaf option!)
There you have it... Now go grab a
cup of mud and indulge a bit... |
