I'm Sarah Smith, and this is the STEEM Engine Express.

We begin today with a fun travel blog by Hive account@insideoutlet, who recounts a trip to Los Angeles and a hike to view the Hollywood sign that did not go as planned. Join Hive account@insideoutlet and her husband as they spend just 36 hours in Los Angeles, but not without an interesting adventure to show for it. The post features many great photos of the trip, so I encourage you to read the blog for a fun account, and perhaps you'll attempt your own LA adventure!

After taking a few weeks off, Hive account@bafi returns with another great LEGO post, this time about the LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter. The post features a great background on the set, as well as photos from the build showcasing all of the details. If you're a LEGO fan or a Star Wars fan, you won't want to miss this blog, and you can be on the lookout for a time-lapse video of the build in a future blog, so head over to Hive account@bafi's page and follow him for future posts!

In other travels, Passenger Hive account@eonwarped shared about Day 7 of his Iceland adventure, where his traveling group stays on a farm. Check out this blog for pictures of the farm animals, as well as photos from an outdoor cooking adventure. If you've ever considered traveling to Iceland, be sure to check out all of the posts from Hive account@eonwarped's Iceland travel series. You might just get some ideas for planning your trip!

Newcomer to the STEEM Engine Hive account@darrenclaxton is a musician, and this week he shared his thoughts on developing a platform on which musicians can share their tracks on the STEEM blockchain and accept STEEM and SBD as payment for their music. If you are a musician or a developer, be sure to check out this post to read Hive account@darrenclaxton's ideas. Perhaps you can make a meaningful contribution to this goal, which will hopefully bring more great musicians to the platform!

Finally today, it's my sincere pleasure to introduce one of @AwakentoLife's blog posts. Since he's begun blogging again, @AwakentoLife has already recounted some of the remodeling he is working on at his family home, but this week, he shares a highlight video from his recent basketball season. If you're a basketball fan, you'll definitely enjoy checking out the great highlights of @AwakentoLife's three point shots, assists, blocks, and other great moves. Be on the lookout for more great posts from @AwakentoLife during his basketball offseason!
