The Minibike

I stopped at a yard sale this morning after dropping Abby off at school and bought this...




The rear brake lever is broken, there's a micro-sized crack in the front rim, and the plastic bodywork is broken. But it runs! It has a single two-cycle engine and must be something in the order of only 25 to 50cc. It sounds like a loud leaf blower at full throttle and it's able to haul my butt up and down the street at a max of 10 MPH. I was laughing my a$$ off all the way. All for only $30 !!

No, Abby won't be riding it since she doesn't even know how to ride a bike yet.

Abby has some trouble with her robotic dinosaur, Buddy...

The Secrets of Isis

So a buddy of mine and I were talking about old Saturday morning cartoons and the TV show "The Secrets of Isis" came up. Wow! I hadn't thought about that show for a long time. Whatcha know but Netflix had it. I watched an episode earlier tonight.

CHEESY GOODNESS!!!!

Here's the opening sequence...



So I noticed a couple more TV shows on YouTube I remember as a kid. Neither of which Netflix has.
Like... BJ and the Bear...



And of course, it's spin-off show... The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo...



I'm so old.

Remote Control Helicopters and Ceiling Fans Don't Mix

Cristina and Abby are in Puerto Rico for the next week attending her cousin's wedding. So while I had a bit of spare time on my hands I tried my hand at flying the Christmas gift I got on Thursday.

I need practice...
