On a positive note - middle kid got one of these in a gift exchange:

that plague made it around my parts a few weeks ago. all members of my family had it. wife had it for six weeks, daughter for one, microdude for one, and I made it out with only a sore throat. Enjoy!Dare I say this going-on-nine-days cough is finally breaking up, and I actually slept through the night without any coughing fits. I think being able to breathe certainly helped my swim this morning since I was faster than normal.
Ask about her offspring before you get addicted to her pheromones!I have to be honest, I am bailing on tonight's group ride to go on a date. Its not all bad though, with what the temperature is forecasted to fall to, I don't mind this one time....
You don't have to skip the ride. Just make sure it's not too muddy.Is today over yet?

WTF is going on up there? Predicted high of 51 here today.70* again today?
please tell me it was some jackwagon in a bro-dozerI also saw a pick up that high centered itself on a large pine tree that had fallen across the road. Tree was about 24" in diameter and he didn't have the ground clearance. When I drove by, the cop were directing traffic around him and someone had already cut both sides of the tree from either side of the truck. I got a good laugh out of it. Only in Maine.
It was a wanna be Bro-dozer. 1/2 ton truck with nice wheels, but not lifted.please tell me it was some jackwagon in a bro-dozer

hot wheels?I have also been mapping out house track options. Right now Lil Man has about 60' of track, 2 loops, 8 90 degree turns (one is a turn kicker) 2 180 degree turns and I ordered 2 inline power boosters. So if I use the launcher upstairs on the railing, I can get a few turns in, drop down to the floor, a few more turns then down the stairs, already worked out a loop on the stairs and navigating through the railing and into the front room. If I take it out the front door and down the driveway I can get it to the street on pure gravity, but the boosters will give me some range in the house once I run out of gravity.
Supposed to be 60* apparently down here. I *am* quite a ways south and west of you... so that's probably it.I think Watz may be vacationing in Aruba or somesuch. 53 is the predicted high in my part of Denver.
Yes sir. Problem is he keeps taking all the "good" cars to his mom's house. So grandpa has had to start his own collection that isn't allowed to leave the house.hot wheels?
my kid is getting his first track set for xmas this year.Yes sir. Problem is he keeps taking all the "good" cars to his mom's house. So grandpa has had to start his own collection that isn't allowed to leave the house.
yea i got him the track builder starter and another kit with loops, but saving the second for his b-day in march. i still have some friends that work at mattel who will hook me up w/ EP.I had bought a "lot" off ebay that ended up being parts from about 3 different kits that didn't really go together. I bought the Track Builder starter kit in a panic after the epic ebay fail. I will likely toss the bulk of the original lot since the 60ish feet he will have now are all current "Track Builder" stuff (special blue snap connectors). My sister got him some Shark Attack or some crap that we will have to integrate into the end of the epic track or something.
My major disappointment so far was the lack of available corners/turns. The starter kit comes with the cool banked 180 that can go 135 or 90. But to buy those separate it like $15 each. I was luck to find someone on ebay selling the regular 90's (non banked, though) for 15 for the 6 pack, then the kicker comes with another.yea i got him the track builder starter and another kit with loops, but saving the second for his b-day in march. i still have some friends that work at mattel who will hook me up w/ EP.
yea stuff is expensive these days. but it should be a good time. i'm wondering if my buddy would hook me up with EP on power wheels....My major disappointment so far was the lack of available corners/turns.

They used to make corner packs and stuff but don't anymore. So you either buy individual pieces for A LOT, or you plan out a few track kits that come with the right parts to make epic integrations. I'll be honest, I spent nearly $100 on this round of track stuff and he should be good minus maybe a few more boosters and a turn or two.
While I do love the Power Wheels (my buddy got his daughter a matching GT-R, sickness), I just can't justify the price compared to an actual quad or dirt bike. The wife wants him to ride MadDogs quad, but he is a good 3 years out from that. I found a Honda XR50 on CL for $400 and you can get Chineese junk for less than $500 new (50cc-70cc). I got MadDogs first quad for $400 (110cc full auto), she rode it for 5 years with no issues, then I sold it for $350. Her 125cc mid sized was only about $600.yea stuff is expensive these days. but it should be a good time. i'm wondering if my buddy would hook me up with EP on power wheels....
