Well today is our twins Birthday!....

[Don/Michigan]

and they turned 7! Their picture is above on top of the forum page. They are the 3rd picture from the left. Man I'm feeling old now. I was wondering what to get them and I decided on an RC truck. I used to race these years ago and had a blast doing it. They are very very fast and fun to drive. They can run at speeds of 50mph if you tweak them. These are nothing like the Radio Shack trucks you can buy. I was looking at them online yesterday to see what new ones they have out when the wife stopped and asked what I was doing I told her I... umm I mean they would like one of these for their birthday She just shook her head I'm going to head out this morning and pick one up. This summer I'll try and get some pictures of it jumping one of my tractors These little trucks are Nitro powered gas...no hemi though Here's a couple shots of the truck I'm looking at.......

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...



Things I've learned from my 4 Boys (honest and not kidding):

1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape.

It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit (a ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way).

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year-old Boy.

11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15.) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on - plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

25.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without children.

Life today must be a test because we'd have better instructions if it were the real thing.
