Fixing the Bike...Yes, Again

Carter loves the wind blowing through his hair.

Dad:  "Enjoy it while you can Buddy"

Daddy teaching Carter to brush his teeth.

Daddy's silly

Mom and Dad were busy playing guitar and not paying attention to Carter. So he put this blanket on his head and walked right in front of them as if to say "Look how cute I am.  Don't you want to play with me?"

After a week of waiting for parts, we finally were able to tear the bike apart and replace the crank unit. Here is the bike before we started putting the new parts on.  This is right before we had to head to Home Depot to pick up nuts.  They sent an axle that required nuts, but they provided us with bolts.  Epic Fail.  We were pretty frustrated by this point, especially since this bike has been a constant repair project.  Now they are sending us the wrong parts.  On the way back from Home Depot, we checked the mail that had come while we were gone...MORE PARTS.  They sent the correct axle/nut combination.  We now have an extra crank set, extra axle, and extra nuts.  At least it works now.

Redneck Tool Bench.  Hopefully Craig doesn't knock anything off as somebody walks by.  A ratchet to the head from the second floor would probably leave a mark. 

We thought it might be fun to show what Craig was doing this week.  This is an EKG.  We have been learning all about how to read these in school this week.  This is actually an example of a STEMI (ST segment elevation-Myocardial Infarction,aka Heart attack)

We also had a cute video of Carter, but we can't get it to upload today.  Hopefully we can get it on the blog next week.
