There’s a pretty simple test for this.

Gender test for track star

I might be wrong, but a quick “junk test” is pretty simple.  Unless of course there’s some scrambled chromosome thing going on.  Dudes with..  Chicks with….  Well, you get the idea.

I gotta say “mad props” to my mom. She’s a real trooper, and since my dad passed away last September, she’s had to learn and handle a lot of new things. I try and help her out as best as I can, but sometimes you just have to kick back and enjoy life, maybe try new stuff along the way.

I finally got fed up with living in the city and ended up moving out to the sticks. Actually, I’m living at the old family place out in the sticks. It’s been a learning experience, but all in all I really enjoy where I’m at. One nice thing is being able to do stuff like take 10 steps out the basement door and cast a line in the pond. Or go out on the porch and bust a few caps, and nobody gets all up in a bunch and calls the cops. Also, my yard is big enough (including the pond) to do some flying. Pretty badass since I have an electric Lazy Bee with the floats.

Anyway, last Saturday Mom came to visit (a weekly thing, I think she like it when I grill stuff for her), and she helped me clear some brush out by the gate. Dad never let her run the cool toys, so I gave her a crash course on the front end loader (I was busy driving the Gravely with the sickle bar, and it’s, no shit, a half a mile to the gate). She really liked running it, and wants to do it again. Running the loader is work, no denying it, so after dinner I said “wanna learn to fly?” She was all like “I don’t want to break any of your planes”, but I had an ace up my sleeve. I pulled out the Parkzone Vapor. It was dead calm outside, and just perfect for it.

I showed her the basics and got it set on the throttle and handed over the DX6i. Yes, she was fixated and within a minute she had spiraled it into the ground. No biggie, no damage, so I sent it on its way again and demonstrated what she did and how to not do it again. Mind you, this was the first time she’s ever flown RC. The second flight went much better and I could tell she was riding a surge of adrenalin, so when she handed it back, I took it and said good job.

I could tell she had a blast from the big grin and the shaky hands, I’ve been there. She said she wants to learn more and do some more flying, but only on the Vapor. I got a 2 meter glider that’s just begging for some stick time, and I’m sure I’ll get her hooked on gliders soon.

I’m glad the shop owner isn’t being charged.  As for the two that are in the hospital, see, stupidity is painful.

Also, I bet there was Meth involved.

millions in panic, oh my.

What will they do now?

I hate to use the word “toys”, since some of the new stuff is not 100% safe.  I’ll start out with the safer stuff.

The one on the right is what I started out with.  A stock Gravely solid 16×4.5 8.  I decided to get a set of turf rubber, and wanted to try something a little larger than stock.  It took some finagling, but I finally got the new 18×8.5s mounted on the 4.5×8 rims.  See that Dewalt sawsall in the background?  I had to use that, a hatchet and a hammer just to get the old tires off the rims first.  Not too much cussing went on, but it wasn’t easy either.  They give the C a little more height, a little higher top speed, and don’t chew up my turf like the AGs.  However, with the higher center of gravity and narrower track (compared to the duals), I think I’ll stay off the back side of the dam when these shoes are on.  That’s not to say that slopes are out the question, I did use the next thing on some slightly less slope than the dam.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks.  That’s an OEM setup, not a hack.  Gravely made a chainsaw and 18″ circular saw for these things.  I now have two.  I did see a couple chainsaws on ebay, but I’m not sure I really want one just yet.  However, the circular saw is pretty handy for clearing brush and flushing up stumps (up to about 5 or 6 inch diameter).  I was a little worried at first about using this setup, but it’s not too bad.  You have to feed the saw into the work from the side, not strait in.  It’s a grunt, but it gets the job done.  I have it configured in chop mode in the pic, though I have not tried it out like that in the wild.  For brush clearing you set it up so the saw is parrallel to the alxes.  Never, ever, leave the PTO engaged when you’re not on the handelbars.  Period.  This will, without a doubt, cut a leg or two off and not even blink.  I’d have to say, this is probably the scarriest tool I currently have for the C.
