New Roller Board and other random stuff

Hey,

I finished a couple of projects this week that required power tools and making saw dust. My days are so much better when it involves fixing or making stuff. "THE CASE FOR MAKING STUFF WITH YOUR HANDS!" One of them was a new shipping crate for the stuff we ship to Kona, HI for Ironman World Championships and the other was a new roller board.


I didn't take a pic of the shipping crate but here is the new roller board (A roller board is used to build ski specific strength ie. double poling). What do you think Randy? If I build another one someday I might tweak it differently but it seems to do the job.


Nordic skiers have been building roller boards long before Chuck Noris started hawking his "total gym" thing. So, no it's not like the thing Chuck Noris uses!

Speaking of Chuck Norris how about some jokes.
1. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
2. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
3. Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him.
4. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
5. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
6. Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage.
7. When Chuck Norris crosses the street, the cars have to look both ways.
8. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
9. Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.
10. They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.


This past Saturday was the Crank and Crawl gathering downtown.


Jack's new moto. I now have a partner in crime to talk about motorcycles with. We both are new to it. I'm shopping for a dual sport bike.


Would love to get the Kawasaki KLX 250s.


Getting ready for Kona. This year we have 15 athletes from the team who qualified.


I meant to post pictures of the truck ages ago. I think it will always be a work in progress because my ideas for efficiency change depending on useage.

My workshop, office, bike hauler, expo display hauler. Everything has a spot.


The race room is actually pretty comfy now. I like sleeping in it when I need some privacy. Traveling with people is not always my favorite thing to do for a loner like me.



Some of you may have noticed that I'm on the Facebook thing now. Total peer pressure! Why is it that I find Facebook annoying? When I do go on it I scratch my head about what to do with it. Someone should have told me maybe I shouldn't "confirm" anybody who asks. It seems really inane stuff I don't care about from some people. I saw on the news today that the kid who invented Facebook is about the 3rd richest person in the U.S.. How can that be? How does he get that much money from such a useless time waster?

Should I start in about people on their cell phones when driving? I'm in a mood I guess. I sort of compare it to mother's with kids that are smoking.

I should go now. I'm getting worked up!

Off to Hawaii in week! I will be missing a another visit by Rodrigo Y Gabriela to Milwaukee again. Aargh!



Mahalo,
