Here's your post Paul.
Well, It's been a while. Months have passed, days have passed, and Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. The time has been flying, it seems like just yesterday I was riding to the pool every day for swim practice. and now I still go out and ride my bike every day, but the grass is not as green as it was, The days are not as long as they were, and the thermometer stays below 40 degrees. Now when I go out for a ride it takes me 25 minutes just to get all "suited up."
Riding shorts, riding tights, long sleeve shirt, wool socks, clip shoes, 'booties', Jacket (windbreaker), gloves, hat, neck warmer, helmet, put pocket knife, Zippo, wallet, and phone into my bag, don't forget the water bottle, (it usually freezes around the edges) and then take off. it
lately I have been riding about ten miles around the park. usually I will do a few sprints.
That cold air really takes the breath out of you. I did finally get my cannondale bike. (from the blog before.) and we bought a welder for Christmas. I took a welding class at the Capital Area Career Center. ( part of Lincoln Land..) It was a fast four weeks. The first class was very boring, it was all safety, which is good but not the most fun part of the class. The other 3 classes were lots of fun; there was still teaching but only 1 hour. ( it's a 2 hour class) so anyway I really liked the stick welder. the only wire feed I did was a 1 inch bead that we had to do as a sortof qualifier
that the teacher instructed us on. I had told my Dad I liked the stick and would rather get that than a wire feed, because for 1 it takes more skill and for 2 it's not so pricy then we hit a perverbial 'brick wall' besides the dryer hook up, we don't have a 220 outlet, and no one liked my idea of putting up a clothes line, getting rid of the dryer and running a cord to the garage.
It was kind of a "red green" inspired idea anyways. so we ended up wit a 110 clarke stick welder
"Yess" (Kip Dynamite.)and we bought some rods a dry 'rod keeper' and a few other accessories. the welder has not been opened yet thanks to Daddy Rod. He made me look him in the eyes and say that I would not bug about the welder. So I came up with a solution; He did not say anything to Jude? but that did not work. oh well 13 days and counting right now I am in Mahomet Illinois for the weekend, we are helping my Grandma and Grandpa Kneller decrate for Christmas. and we also have a Birthday party to go to for my cousin Aidan who is getting a surprise bithday present. be back sunday, Good night,
