Looks great, trade.
Wait....is that. ...is that a finger choil I see?
 
That thing is so freakin neat Todd! Thats going to be one happy kid. Very cool! Made of metal too so that sucker is going to last and last.

:thumbup:

Reminds me of something my dad has. He somehow held onto a little all metal pedal car that he has had since he was 3 or so. It certainly was showing its age so my mom had it restored for him for his birthday a year or so ago. The body shop we took it too did an amazing job and when we went to pay them they refused. They said it was such a fun and unique project for them that just doing it was payment enough! He was so happy to see it and said it looked just like he remembered.

Yeah thats good stuff man, the wagon and tricycle belonged to this little boys mother when she was little, so, im thinkin it will hold a special place with the whole family, I've had fun building it. But it would of been a hell of a lot easier starting with new stuff thats for sure. Im a sucker for sentimental things anyway, when I was a kid my grandma had one of the old original radio flyer wagons that she would roll out to the back yard and pick up walnuts with. She also had (what we though as at the time) "big" hill in her back yard. Between me and my cousins, we probably racked up a couple hundred thousand miles on that thing riding it down the hill. Lol. I also had a three wheeled petal trike. The only other one I saw like it was on american pickers of all things. I loved that thing. When grandma died, my dad went through and threw it all away. I was sooooo pissed. Still a little pissed actually, and that was a long time ago. My old man has Zero appreciation for sentimental value. I don't get it. Im just to opposite......... I'd give a lot to have those two pieces back. I have nothing from my childhood. :(

Anyone watch the new flash show?

Nope. I can't get CW since the broadcasters "went digital". You know, that junky digital TV signal that was supposed to be better than analog. When the digital switch over occurred, I went from being able to get 38 stations on my 28 foot high antenna, some from as far away as Houston and Shreveport LA. Now I have a 49 foot high antenna and get 23 channels, including all the multiples on the same one, i.e., 6-1, 6-2 etc.

We're from the government and we're here to help. Yeah, right.

That is really cool that they were the moms toys! That makes it even better, and I am right there with yah on sentimental value. I am a sap when it comes to sentimental things lol. Even funnier is you talking about riding down the hill at your grandmas in a wagon. My sisters, my cousins, and I all lived in the same country area at one time. We would get together and roll down this big hill at my grandmas on an old wagon, bikes, skateboards, roller skates, 4 wheeled dollys, tractor tires... Lol if it rolled we would ride it down. I swear you could go faster than the speed of light down that hill. Scraped up elbows, knees, and faces for everyone lol.

However, that is really sad about those things getting tossed. :( I'd be pissed too! Reminds me of my wife, she barely has a thing from her childhood beyond what I think is just 2 baby pictures that she rescued from her parents. But maybe one day you'll run across them... (I have too many stories lol) When my dad was little he had this Santa Claus doll that he carried around everywhere. When they lost the farm the toy got lost in the mix (which is why it was amazing he still had that pedal car). Lets say 40+ years later he was in Nebraska for his grandpa's funeral and him and my mom stopped at a antique store in his old home town. Low and behold there was a Santa doll exactly like what he had! Whether its the exact same one or not we will never know, but it looks exactly like the one in a picture of him as a child.

Streaming TV shows is the way to go for me... Commercials annoy me.
 
Dres, I really like that knife, looks sick and I'll bet it's even better looking in person. :thumbup:

Todd, nice bike, no chance he won't love it, and your the new favorite "Uncle".....:D

Trade, I have been thinking about a choil on my 9, and I think you just pushed me over the other side. I think I'll leave the ramp on though. ;)


Ummmmm, Maybe you guys can help me. I have contracted a rah from hell or something. I don't know if it's an allergic reaction or what, but it's awful. I'm fine all day at school, but when I get on the bus (or soon before) I start itching all over the place, to the top of my head to my feat. I will be monitoring what I'm eating for the next few days to see if it's something I'm eating. I have stripped my bed and don't notice any bugs. I don't think it is bites though, there's too many bites. Does it look like poison ivy?

What do yall think?
 
so this has been a crazy month at my school. it started with this girl, who i have a class with, mixed a bunch of hydrocodone and Xanax then came to school and almost OD'd, she had to be taken to the hospital. because of that they started searching the school which resulted in a bunch of kids getting caught with drugs, and not just weed, there was LSD and some other high strength pain killers. and to top it all of, this girl completely went psycho on this other girl because she sneezed in her general direction. the fight started in the class room with her slamming the other girls head into the desk repeatedly, then it traveled all the way down the hallway till the police came and broke it up. the one who got attacked was taken to the hospital in critical condition
 
Kid - that looks/sounds like hives (an allergic reaction) -- what classes do you have the last 2 periods of the day?

MM - Is this the first time you've gotten the rash or is it like a recurring thing?

This will be a first for me. None of the other memebers of my houshold have got it, so I'm thinking it's not fleas for bedbugs

Chiggers maybe?

I don't think so. There is an awful lot of those little white spots, and I haven't been outside much.

Have you changed laundry detergent or fabric softener? Or bath soap?

Hmmmm, maybe. I recently changed Body wash......

I've been thinking about it, and it may be a reaction to milk. I haven't been drinking it for the past few weeks, and these last few days I've been drinking quite a bit. I'm going to try completely limiting milk from my diet and see if that helps.

Thanks for the input so far, guys! :thumbup:

I think your about right on the mark. I have an Engineering class in a really damp, stagnate classroom that smells moldy, and Science, either one of those may be something. I have lunch the middle of 4th (out of six periods), and if it is milk it will have had time for the reactions to start showing.

Spike, That sucks. It's funny what happens when you start searching students tho, there was a kid who had his phone stolen and they started searching every student till they found it, and they found pot, Cigarettes, and multiple other nasties that I didn't catch. And that was about 1/3 of the Freshman class. :(
 
MM-

Im of no help but my son did have something similar a couple weeks ago... It only happened once and went away in a couple days but we never knew what it was.

When my daughter was younger she use to get heat rashes all the time that looked similar to that as well.
