Cleaning the Falcon

Last week I mentioned rediscovering my old Millennium Falcon playset at my Dad's house. This weekend, I started the task of cleaning it up and taking inventory of what is missing or needs replacing. I started Friday night by taking the entire thing apart.

There was a lot of dirt and mildew on the inside of the Falcon. Amazingly, the cardboard interior wall of the toy was untouched. Just to be safe, I scanned it in in case I needed to replace it. I also took care to keep all the relevant screws together with the components they attached.

A little side project I will be working on the next couple of months.

Before I packed up my things and moved out East, I spent Father's Day weekend in western Illinois with my Dad. Dave the Elder is a contractor and farmer who built the home on the 150 acre land that he and my stepmother now live in. They have a lot of stuff in that house, and some of it belonged to my brother and I from when we were children that he asked us to take with us when we went home.
