THE NEW "OLD" F100

This a project we just picked up three weeks ago. It is a restoration Ford F-100 that will keep Chandler and I busy for the next couple of years. He just turned 14 and I thought it was a great buy to work on and hand the keys over to him on his 16th Birthday. (As long as he can keep his act together) Over all the truck is super solid and has great potential for minimal body work and paint. My initial plan is to lower the ride height a little, put a disc conversion kit on it and redo the body. Currently it has a 240 inline six cylinder that doesn't run. It was a new short block installed that never got completed. No plans at this time to do anyhing more than get it running and make sure the drive train is solid.

Harleyville MX and new Digital SLR camera

We found a local track just down the highway from us called Harleyville Motocross. It is a fairly new track in the area and this was the first time we got to see the gates open and bikes on the track. I decided to try out our new 10.1 megapixel camera on some of the riders to see what kind of quality I could get with different settings. I think the pics turned out great and will only get better with more use of the camera. The camera has more settings than I know what to do with. I sent some of the pics to the operator of the track and hopefully he will use them for his web page. Maybe he will ask me to be the track photographer for races. Who knows??

Altanta Supercross

Chan and I had a boys weekend together in ATL. We left friday mid day and hung out with Professional riders from the Yamaha team that night at a local motorcycle shop in Conyers GA. Chandler bought a Monster hat and got James Stewart's to sign it. Saturday we hung out all day in the pit party with all the teams and riders and watched the race live in the Georgia Dome that night. It was a long day, but well worth it. Chan was way pumped and took alot of pictures of the factory bikes/trucks and some of the riders. He tried to chug a Monster Energy drink like a rock star but came up short. All in all it was a great weekend together. Enjoy the pics

Welcome to High School Sports (A Year Early)

Chandler makes 2 baseball teams in 1 week. We have a potential All Star on our hands. We are so proud of Chandler, he has been working so hard lately to stay on top of his game. He played in the fall ball league as soon as we got to Charleston SC. After the season was up he attended 2 hitting clinics and competed in a hitting league at Pro Level Sports. The big pay off was the news we recieved this past week which was: 1) He has been selected to play on the Pro Level Sports travel team and 2) A call from his future High School (Ashley Ridge) to play on their JV team. The High School coach was anxious to take a look Chan but told us not to get high hopes because the number of kids trying out were around 40. He made it through 2 cuts and is now a part of their active roster. The school is new for this year and we are looking for Chan's team to bring home the first JV trophey for the school. Way to go Chan "da man" !!

Chan's new assault weapon

Check this thing out, I added a couple of pics and a video so you can see the quickness of this gun. Chan can put more paint down range faster than any gun I have ever seen. It is capable to shoot about 25 balls per second (BPS). It runs off of nitrogen and has multiple shoot modes. Chan is shooting in semi-auto mode here and empties his 3/4 full hopper of about 150 balls in 12 seconds. That is around 12 BPS in this mode and he is still new with the gun. It has a Halo electronic hopper on it that is capable of feeding 20+ balls per second. The total cost is that of a real hunting rifle, but this is what he wanted and he paid for the most of it. Enjoy!!!

My new Monster Truck

Here is the long awaited pic's of my new SUV. Yes it is a Ford and I am proud to be an owner of one. This thing is huge you can't tell in the first pic but the pic with me across the seats is me getting ready to get in it to go crush some cars. You can see how tall it is by how I can barely touch the steering wheel. I almost need a step ladder. (Lets go 4 X 2 ing) Haha

Test, Test ;; Breaker Breaker one-nine

Finally, I reset the password on this silly blog. Chan and I are up and running. Alot has happened since last time we posted. Jen's blog has kept you all in the loop on our excitement. Here is a pic of Chan that sums up what he has been doing since our last post. Haha :-)
