Kingfish254's PRE-RRBBO8 Dream Board FireWing starts tonight

[kingfish254]

Using this thread as my own personal dream parts and idea inventory.

Last year I waited until March to start pulling together ideas in a thread for Build Off 7. Not sure that it helped come up with the idea for Flexy, but it did help me lay out in one virtual space some of the material I had to work with.

I am going to start pulling together my frames and such here so that I can start dream boarding and brainstorming my options.
