  <p><i>It's spring break this week, and seeing as there are lots of things planned, I figured I'd jot down the main points each day.</i></p>
  <p>Today was the "final" day on the truck. We headed out and got the nuts installed for the struts and the rear wheels installed. I also tried heating up the bent plastic fender liner to keep it from catching on the tread, but it just ended up catching again later. I just need to deal with that and change the oil, and it'll be set for the trip back.</p>

  <p>In the meantime, we packed up and headed to Milwaukee to drop off Ángel and meet up with another friend to grab unch at <a href="https://cravecafe.carry-out.com/default.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Crave Cafe</a> and <a href="https://kopps.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kopps Frozen Custard</a> (Glendale location), both great places to eat if you're ever in Milwaukee. Each Kopps location has a different achitecture theme going on with the building which is fun to experience.</p>

  <p>Afterwards, we stopped by my other friend's appartment and saw his cat, Jack, for a bit before heading back home for the day.</p>

  <p>When we got back home we broke out the LEGO. I have been wanting to reassemble all of my LEGO sets, but just haven't had the motivation since it's a big task, but being at school and reminicing with friends about which sets we have rekindled my desire to get everything rebuilt. Plus, having two other people makes things go a lot faster, especially when they're just as excited and motivated to see the completed sets.</p>

  <p>By about 3 AM, we made some good progress and finished about 5 sets. Some were missing one or two pieces, and there were some instances of the infamous fragility of brown and maroon LEGO bricks showing itself in the form of fractured pieces. You can contact LEGO to get broken pieces replaced, so I'll be doing that once we're done for the break.</p>
  <p>It was a very fun time though. Three friends with some music, a box of LEGOs, and motivation to see as many completed sets as possible by the end of the night is a great experience. I'd highly recommend. Might be a fun yearly event, rotating which house everyone goes to.</p>
