Fun in the dirt
Thursday, October 16, 2008
Recently, I found a great deal on a 4-wheeler for Gauge. It is a 50cc Bombardier. Since Skyler already has a dirt bike and now Gauge has something to ride I have been trying to take them out riding as often as possible. We have access to a large open field nearby -less than 2 miles from the house- that we going riding in.
It is very convenient for the days when you just want to go out and ride for a little bit and them come back. Free time is very limited these days as Tiffany and I are both taking classes and I work full-time. So any time I can get out in the dirt and go riding with the boys is time well spent.
Skyler is getting pretty good on his motorcycle and always gets excited about going to ride. He is getting more comfortable going a variety of terrain. I remember the first or second time went riding and he drove straight into the ditch full of water. It took him few more sessions to recover from the trauma of that day.
Gauge had a couple of issues at first controlling the 4-wheeler. Because the footprint of the front wheels is fairly wide for him, he really had to use his upper body strength to turn it. Now he jams all over the place like he has been riding for months.
It is difficult for me to put into words how much I actually enjoy being out there with them. Even though I don't currently have anything to ride, they are always happy to share. They like me to ride with them, or be the first to test out some new terrain for them.
Sometimes, I just hang out and watch them. It is cool to see their personalities come out as they go speeding across the field with larger than life smiles on their faces.

Today is your Birthday
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
On this day, some 38 years ago my brother made his way into this world. Whenever we talk it is a constant reminder of how time goes by in life very quickly. One day you are six years old riding your bike and the next thing you know you are teaching your six year old how to ride a bike. We don't talk nearly as often as we should. It is always nice to touch base and see how things are going on the opposite side of the US. Which reminds me... ...I need to call and tell you, "Happy Birthday, Bro".

Oh so I see your lapse in blogging is due to your spare time modeling for childrens off road equipment, again.
How the eff did your hair get that long that fast?
Haha. I have been growing the hair for 2 years now. 2 Augusts ago it was clippered to a number 1 or 2. Will probably have to shave it again soon. Gets boring after awhile.
Realized after I commented how long it really has been. Tristyn keeps me extremely busy.
I can't remember how long my hair was 2 Augusts ago, but now its *literally* past my waist. Let's have a shaving party :)
