This family blog continues the one originally started by Luke. It is hoped through the sharing of stories, ponderisms, and pictures of family and events, that this online journal will serve to enhance and nurture our relationship and draw us closer to God and each other as we travel along life's road. Buckle-up!
I rescued this little car out of the trash yesterday. There is something wrong with the controller box in it. I tried for a while to diagnose it, but in the end just bypassed all the controls and wired the motor to a light switch.

That's cute! Reubens waiting for his turn! Can you recharge it? Mom
Yes it has a rechargeable battery. It takes several hours to recharge and the girls are waiting for it to charge right now. It's a 12 volt battery so I'm charging it with the car charger.
After watching the video again I became skeptical of its authenticity. In certain portions of it the guy pulls the bike up into the air from level ground without the aid of any stationary object. Would not the theory of equal and opposite attraction make it impossible to jump from the bike and also take it up with you? The bike should become just as strong of a force downward as you are upward. I guess the fact that the bicycle is lighteror has less mass, would cause it to lose its inertia quicker so while the guy is still moving upward the weight of the bicycle becomes less and it would be possible to pull it up. It just seems that this window of opportuinity would be so small and the ratio of opposing forces would be significantly diminished as to allow for the hight of the jump.- Also he is pedaling the bicycle backward sometimes. Not impossible,if the bike is designed to do so, but in the same clip he is coasting foreward and the pedals are stationary. How? Let me know what you all think. Still a cool video,Pop. Isaiah and Jonah are mezmorized by it. They actually thought it was you in the brown shirt riding across the fence!

Even in the un-likely event any of those guys lives long enough to have kids, I highly doubt any of them will.
