so…
i had an old wooden board laying around that my stepfather had found at goodwill.
i figured my son still did not have his first board, and that it was past time for him to have one.
(gotta start them as early as possible)…
i bought a little mouse sander, some polyurethane varnish, new wheels and other hardware, and went to work.
the results are shown below.
it was a super easy project, done for little cash…
and i consider it completely worth it.
compare my son’s first board to the walmart crap most kids get and you see why:
no griptape yet because he can't stand on it yet. (click for larger image)
note the sweet cadillac wheels:
old school cool.
the little guy loves pushing it all over the house.
here he is getting his thrash on, at least as well as an 11 month old can…
we are having a pool party for leif’s 1st birthday party, on saturday march 6th at the holiday inn in lakeville, minnesota.
there is a block of rooms under my last name, and each room can sleep 4.
bring your offspring.
they have a pretty fancy waterpark set up with slides and shit, which is included with your room.
drinking will be encouraged.
the creator of gumby died recently…
my brother and i used to watch gumby every morning, it contained a healthy dose of weirdness to start the day.
the following is an episode from 1967, that i remember getting crazy stoked about, wherein prickles operates a skate shop.
oh yeah, gumby was way ahead of his time.
and…
is it just me, or does prickles sound kind of like heath ledger as skip engblom?
