Electronics Repeated

   Posted by: vw bug    in Mom, Tot

Seems my youngest, Tot, loves one particularly electronic experiment. Every time he sees the kit he wants to do the ‘helicopter’ experiment. And every time, I let him do it again. This last time he almost got the whole thing put together by himself. Here he is working on it:



Now the whole point is to make the blades on the fan take off. I finally figured out how to get a picture of it. Not sure if the ISO setting is really correct, but I tried… And you can see the blades in the air!



They have only broken one piece so far. Now if I could just find this set again at a really cheap price… I swear it has doubled in price since I bought it originally…

My car, My home

   Posted by: vw bug    in Mom, pd

My mom, Mamaw, mentioned the other day that she thought I must live in my car… she is not far off. I always seem to be on the road. It is crazy. I should deck it out with some auto accessories that make it look totally cool to me, easy to find in a parking lot and embarrassing to my children. Can you imagine a minivan all decked out in racing stripes, a big 45 on the side and wheel rims that light up? Oh wait… I need something for the antenna… hmmm… mickey ears? or a light saber? Yaa… this could be a new fantasy to keep me entertained for a few days. How to make my minivan look entertaining… Any ideas?
