Happy Christmas!

...to all and to all a Merry New Year!

Yes, I know it's been months since I last wrote on this here internet thing.

I recently attempted to get one of my R/C cars into the Christmas spirit. I had picked up some parts that I ordered for my Team Losi Micro-T. For those not in the know, this is a 1/36 scale hobby grade radio control truck. Fun little buggers and great for indoor racing/bashing during the cold winter months. The new body I picked up I attempted to give it a Christmas feel with red and a little white, and adding some glittery tint to it. It didn't turn out to well. More than a little was used on the glittery-ness (it's a word now). The picture below makes it look better than it actually is.

A little size comparison with Piper "Furball" Benson. Yes, same truck with optional parts.

Visit Team Losi from some really great R/C kits and RTR's (that means Ready To Run)

This is truly a great little truck. It comes already built with everything you need in one box ready to roll. Spare parts, and even the optional parts, are cheap. (Funny note: as I was typing this I accidentally started to respond back to my wife with "i love you cheap". Please note that trying to multitask while blogging is very bad. Tracey did have a good laugh and I did respond properly.)

When I do run my little truck, Piper has fun chasing it. That's all she does. I drive one way and she runs after it. I driver another way, and she runs after it. Fun for all, pets included. Well maybe not fish. Water and electronics are very bad too.

And back to Christmas. Here are a few Holiday tips from one of our favorite comedians, Jeff Dunham (a.k.a. puppet boy):
(Disclaimer: this is all in fun, and is humerous. please do not try these at home as injury can occur. anything attempted from these tips are at your own risk!)

• To remove tree sap from your hands, use butter or cooking oil. To remove butter or cooking oil from your hands, use tree sap.
• To remove dust from Christmas ornaments, use a blow dryer on the lowest setting. If you don't have a blow dryer, use dynamite. On the low setting of course.
• If your family celebrates Christmas and Hanukkah, put up a Christmas tree and a Hanukkah bush. And keep in mind that no matter what you do, you'll never be fully accepted by either group.
• Remember, never use electric lights on a metallic Christmas tree. Or the tree could explode!
• If you're going to deep fry your turkey this year here is an important safety tip: Remember kids, do it only when your parents are gone! And in the living room next to the drapes.
• For great holiday memories make a scrap book filled with photos and cards. Oh look, there's creepy uncle Frank touching little Johnny.
• To ensure that the turkey and stuffing have reached a safe temperature, always use a thermometer. Make sure it's a meat thermometer and not the one you just had in your butt.
  

Remember all, have a happy Christmas and a merry New Year! (And be safe throughout all your holiday celebrations!)
