Balance board fun

This week I found out about balance boards. Its good for surfing, and sense we don't get all that many BIG waves up here, I thought it my best chance at practice. I did a little research and found some boards that like cost a lot! $150 and up. But then I found a 'build your own' web page. It didn't look to hard, and for around $25 - $30 you could get the wood and roller. So I built a board. First, I made a template out of posterboard. once I had the template, all I had to do was trace and cut. Thats exactly what I did. I was so anxious to ride the thing, and after useing the jig saw, I tryed it on a 4" diameter pine log. It wooked really well, but I needed to get a larger dia log to roll on. 6" would be the best, but the only avalible 6" dia roller was a 10' long PVC pipe for $25! I ended up setleing for a 5" log. It works well. For a wile I used it just plain, but soon I staind it.

My Mom told me to make one for the kid across the street. I didn't have a choice, but I knew it would be fun. I made the board like so fast! I then satind and put 3 coats of polyurithane on both boards. I made sure to make it a surprise for Jordan who would get it.

While doing all this I made one other board that looks like a skate board. It got the coats of polyurithane, but no stain. It is a quick board to ride while the others dryed.

Mississippi John Hurt

I was introduced to a new guitar player the other day, Mississippi John Hurt. I was astonished with his playing and found one of his songs that I really like. Here is a youtube of the song "You got to walk that lonesome valley":



On another note, I got 29 on my hack recored. My previous record was 19!So thats radical.

G1 phone

I am posting from my new G1 phone! Its so awsome. It is well worth the cost for those of you looking at getting one. The keys on the keyboard don't fat thumb, and the touch screen has great controll. I tryed out the GPS on it and it is surprisingly acurate. I don't get 3G coverage where I am, but internet conection is still good. The quality of sound on calls and music is great and the phone works well with bluetooth. I don't know anyting else to say about the G1. Over all, Its one of the best cell phones out there.

Hacky Accident

This past month I have been doing the norm pretty much. How ever, I did sprain my ankle really good trying to do a hacky move. So I've been staying off of it allot, but I still manage to do a little work on the boat here and there. In my off time I found this movie!

Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I got a new book the other day, Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I haven't had much time to read it yet, but what I have read is very insightful and has helped me to further by book. Thanks to the one who gave it to me.

I made pasta from scratch this evening, and it took me a long time. This really surprised me because it is a super simple recipe called Spatzle. Or so I thought. I estimate it took me about 2.5 to 3 hours to make! I just keep telling my self that it was my first time and that I'll get better. But finally when I tried some of the finished product, BAAM! Wow, what a flavor. My favorite way to have it so far is with evoo (extra virgin olive oil) and garlic. I highly recommend it to those of you who are carb-a-vors like I.

Heres somthing interesting I found. You know how gas prices are going up? Its not true. What did I say! Did you hear that? See for you self.

HUGE NEW RECORD...in a small way.

I broke my recored of juggling a soccer ball via feet, knees and head with out it touching the ground. My old record was 5 (wow), but not today. Today I made it to 37! Boo ya! My head feels weird now , but I can boast. I think tomorrow I'll try to break my pogo-stick record of 3/4 of a jump, lol. Its really 5 or something like that.
