I distinctly remember this being the second set I received, which was released in 1979. It takes no time at all to assemble and I remember taking it with me on family road trips to play with.

Lego Spotlight: LEGO 891 Two-Man Scooter, Non-US Version of 442
Being between jobs gives me more time for my hobbies and since I recently moved but haven’t had the time to really organize the new place until now, I thought I’d finally get around to doing a formal inventory of my Lego collection.
My Lego collection is the only thing I own that’s actually worth money, but I could never part with it. I still get Lego for Christmas every year (recently it’s been Star Wars Lego) and when I have income, I do hunt for older sets on eBay.
This is the first set I have got when I was four or five in the late 70s. I actually have two of this set, but have used one for spare parts for other broken sets.
Early Space Lego only had white and red astronauts. Over time, other colours were added starting with yellow and later, blue and black.
Recipe: Golden Mushroom Pork & Apples
2 cans (10 3/4 ounces each) Campbell’s® Condensed Golden
Mushroom Soup (Cream of Mushroom soup will work too)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
8 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick (about 2 pounds)
4 large Granny Smith apples, sliced
2 large onions, sliced (about 2 cups)
Stir the soup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire and thyme in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Add the pork, apples and onions.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or until the pork is cooked through, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a field greens salad tossed with toasted walnuts, blue cheese crumbles and red wine vinaigrette with
Texas toast or garlic bread. For dessert serve a fruit and yogurt parfait; layer strawberry yogurt with chunks of pineapple and green
seedless grapes, then sprinkle with granola.
