Sunday was a NASCAR kind of day. My Friend Pat Johnson, of Rugged Ridge, had a spare ticket (provided by one of his customers, Jack Lancaster, owner of Tellico 4×4) for the race at Talladega Super Speedway. We did a fairly fast road trip/race day… On the way about 7:00 in the morning and back home by 10:00 that evening.
But all of that is only to set a stage…
I wrote a post a couple of years ago this week about my son and his ice skating lessons. He was having issues bending his knees… which had been brought about partially by the type of skates he started with. When he changed from rental figure skates to hockey skates, he was keeping the old (bad) habit he had relied upon.
I am a hockey fan, and as I write this, about 10 minutes of the 1st period in the Gold Medal round game has elapsed… USA v Canada. It looks like it will be a very exciting game.
A friend of mine recently forwarded the link for this slide show to me. It is REALLY cool. I understand the work that went into this, although I can honestly say I have never been able to create anything on this level.
Some have the time space and budget to play with the big toys. Others have to “make do” with smaller toys. Although, calling it “making do” would be understating the level of the hobby.
