The girl is doing really well in soccer. She is the goalie which is a rare thing and the coach is happy to have someone who is interested and can play that position. During one of the summer tournaments she was diving for a shot and hit her head on the cross-bar of the goal. No stitches, but there was blood everywhere. I took her to emergency and they glued it together. A little later she went to the movies with her aunt and left me to field all the calls of concern.<br />

I try to go riding about 3-4 times a month. This is a picture of my iron steed a KTM 300xc-w and the hill behind is Redondo Ridge on the back side of Big Bear CA. It is part of the "No Wimps!" ride made famous by Malcolm Smith. the picture doesn't do it justice. It is really nasty. I improve each time I ride and have a blast. The razors and other side-by-sides are making it more dangerous though. They are high speed and no match for a bike. </div>

It was a great ride with midday temps in the 90's. My bike worked great and I didn't have any 'offs.' My riding partners were not so lucky and were quite sore the second day, opting to go the easy route on Sunday.

He was a great dog and got into plenty of mischief during his eleven year run. He was not to be trusted with food and often would open lunch boxes in the middle of the night. His application of stealth was legendary and would wait patiently for a distraction to provide the slightest opportunity upon which he would take full advantage with a practiced casualness. He is survived by his best friend, Mr. Thomas. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q-qqUvfcsfw/T2JoB8HxQdI/AAAAAAAABCE/mSXEOwKM2PY/s640/blogger-image--44918875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q-qqUvfcsfw/T2JoB8HxQdI/AAAAAAAABCE/mSXEOwKM2PY/s640/blogger-image--44918875.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zYgIXDI83OQ/T2JoCa1VlMI/AAAAAAAABCM/wnAO22fMaT0/s640/blogger-image-955112572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zYgIXDI83OQ/T2JoCa1VlMI/AAAAAAAABCM/wnAO22fMaT0/s640/blogger-image-955112572.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U6C1ralHvfI/T2JoCkp-uII/AAAAAAAABCU/2tPrBBMtxeQ/s640/blogger-image-2057689319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U6C1ralHvfI/T2JoCkp-uII/AAAAAAAABCU/2tPrBBMtxeQ/s640/blogger-image-2057689319.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IPOI7GcgXKc/T2JoCzCpQZI/AAAAAAAABCc/-QGni5gpwdk/s640/blogger-image--974234923.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IPOI7GcgXKc/T2JoCzCpQZI/AAAAAAAABCc/-QGni5gpwdk/s640/blogger-image--974234923.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9973876.post-44233970466693110162012-03-15T12:33:00.001-07:002012-03-15T12:33:14.755-07:00A new scaleI needed a new scale after I broke my old trying weigh my dirt bike. So while the kids were at piano, I snuck over to the CVS and they ha one there for $59. It was covered in dust, but it was a saved trip to the evil Walmart. So I took it up to the register. After waiting patiently for the 'geri' in front of me to fumble through his transaction, I get my turn to fork over the cash and the there is a problem. The cashier takes the scale over to a more experienced cashier who shrugs and says,"I don't know...ten bucks.". My cashier returns and charges me $10!!

(warning: pic is gross)With the rest of the family sick with the flu over President's weekend I found myself in the garage blissfully wrenching on my bikes. New tires were mounted and oils were changed. Unfortunately, a short test drive ended in misery as I fell entering my own driveway. Off to the emergency room for stitches and no trip to the track this week for me. My wife was under-whelmed.

First I had to lift the bike up on the stand and raise the front wheel so the the shock bearing was accessible. Tip: measure depth of the current bearing with a micrometer before you push it out. I used a long bolt with a 1 /18 on the outside an a 19mm on the push side to push the bearing out. Once out I cleaned it all up and built the press using the se bolt washers and sockets to press in the bearing. Once the new bearing was in, I measured it for depth and reinstalled. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TeqnqmSZRTU/Txy6iP1vomI/AAAAAAAABAM/DKjgPhiGpEI/s640/blogger-image--1869818174.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TeqnqmSZRTU/Txy6iP1vomI/AAAAAAAABAM/DKjgPhiGpEI/s640/blogger-image--1869818174.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CRRvfYQWoy4/Txy6ia-GLzI/AAAAAAAABAU/G6pD8BpvF_0/s640/blogger-image--908246728.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CRRvfYQWoy4/Txy6ia-GLzI/AAAAAAAABAU/G6pD8BpvF_0/s640/blogger-image--908246728.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dxQhlRLv7zY/Txy6iuWAQNI/AAAAAAAABAc/3LrrOXvHz6M/s640/blogger-image--1908342975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dxQhlRLv7zY/Txy6iuWAQNI/AAAAAAAABAc/3LrrOXvHz6M/s640/blogger-image--1908342975.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UHEHUwF9Kjk/Txy6i6OGhGI/AAAAAAAABAk/0oa3u3xt6_k/s640/blogger-image--1120172669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UHEHUwF9Kjk/Txy6i6OGhGI/AAAAAAAABAk/0oa3u3xt6_k/s640/blogger-image--1120172669.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fOYiwmPEJOM/Txy6jHU_6wI/AAAAAAAABAs/Nb1IQvx-ZMQ/s640/blogger-image--222376950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fOYiwmPEJOM/Txy6jHU_6wI/AAAAAAAABAs/Nb1IQvx-ZMQ/s640/blogger-image--222376950.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9973876.post-65891990961033769932012-01-02T18:20:00.001-08:002012-01-02T18:20:41.730-08:00First post 2012Wilson got a bath after stepping in poo. Ugh. He is still losing weight. He turned 11 yrs on the first. <br />
<br />
The boys and I went to the Discovery Science Center to see the Star Wars exhibit. We have now seen it in three different cities in three different countries on three different continents. Apparently for boys, It never gets old. <br />
<br />
The girls played Just Dance 3 for hours and then crashed when we went to dinner that evening on three different occasions. <br />
<br />
We also spent some time at the Getty Museum. They have a great itouch device that has all the art and also a very flattering bit about the founder who was really not a very nice guy and sadly died friendless and alone.<br />

I have out home on canned food which he LOVES and seems to be doing much better now. He is currently supervising the progress of Christmas dinner and the 24 lb turkey. <br />
<br />
Went mtn biking with my brother in law Rob this afternoon to work up the appetite needed for the evening's festivities. <br />
<br />
Took the kids to the La Brea Tar Pit and then to the LA Natural History Museum. It was a continuous stream of behavioral corrections, but fun non-the-less. <br />
