Wknd: Impromptu soccer game

After a surprise visit from the Wolefinelli's good fun was had for sure. Whenever Bdub visits he's nice enough to indulge me in a little sporty horse play, which I always crave. And in honor of the World Cup(see post: TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 2010) we had a little scrimmage, Wiles, Giada, Josh, Dub and occasionally nolzie were all involved. It was a great peek into some future backyard sportage.

Wknd: Slip n' Slide

(Picture not available, I was too wet to use camera) Pictures of bruises TK.

Wknd: Assembled and launched balsa airplane

I purchased two, having working knowledge of the strength of this classic toy. On my first test flight ( I had to try it out before the boys were around, just to make sure it worked, and didn't disappoint the dudes. 

SKY STREAK 1. Went so-so, but on the fourth launch, the rubber band powered vehicle ended up on the roof, they way highest point of the house.

WATER ROCKET 1. The boys were around so I busted out the Water Rocket (not pictured), but by the third launch, the pumped was already busted, so that sucked.

SKY STREAK 2. Was a semi-success with all kinds of tweaking and changing of trajectory and wing levels. It was good fun until wiles, in an attempt to really catch some height, gave it hard launch and busted the tail right off!! We managed to fix it up and we back on the flight schedule.

Experiments with new "camera"

Favorite app of the minute

Star Walk
Cost: $2.99.
A bit pricey in the app world,
But well worth it. Especially when compared to other star gazing apps.

Why: I've always looked forward to the night. Especially now, when I
get home from work, I look up in the sky and can see actual stars, but
can never really remember formations.

Great for: Geo tagged star gazing. Uses your location to help you
spot the constellations above you.

Extras: right out of the gate on the opening screen you get, sun up,
sun down, elevation, 5days of the lunar cycle and the ability to move
ahead dates. Uses really nice shilloutes over the stars to illustrate
the name of the constellation. Really nice zooming and rotation.

After starting the job at 11am and working into the cold beacon spring
nite we finally have a new chimney!! Or at leasnt partially new

Hopefully this will stop the incesant coughing and black lung the boys
have developed.
