Just takes a bit of cash...

A couple of days ago I was talking to my brother-in-law about some cool ideas.  I brought up amphibious vehicles.  In the past these vehicles are capable of going on land and water, but at snail like speeds.  Where is the fun in that.  Now there is a solution out there.  The first high speed amphibious vehicle.  It looks a lot like a 4-wheeler, but it can also go around 45 mph on water like a jet ski. It just takes finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  If you can fork out $40,000 for a four wheeler- Jet Ski combo then this thing is for you.  When you buy it, give me a call because I would like to go for a ride.

Your first time

There is a first for everything. Sometimes we have to push ourselves to try new things. This can be challenging and even scary at times. For my Nephew he took on the challenge of riding a motorcycle in the sand dunes for the first time. He looks like a natural. In reality he is a very good rider with a lot of common sense, so riding a motorcycle didn't seem that daunting a task to him. He did very well. Rode the thing like he had been riding for a while, but at the very end he crashed. It shook him up a bit, but he was fine. The bike didn't fair as well.

The New Macarena, Gangnam Style

I have a hard time understanding why Gangnam Style is crazing the nation, but then I think back to other crazes like the Macarena.  That dance was just as dumb, but we all did it.  Well there is now even robots doing Gangnam Style.  Pretty cool.  I am a sucker for technology.  I cant imagine how much time it probably took a programmer to get the robot to do the dance moves.  Probably a very long time.  Anyways, thought you all might like this.  Not much to do with power sports, but entertaining non the less.

The cost of going on a diet

It can be expensive to lose weight. No I am not talking about that extra jelly role you have aquired over the years from eating greesy food.  I am talking about making your snowmobile, motorcycle, or 4 wheeler lighter.  The name of the game is Weight vs Power.  You can have as much power as you want in the world, but if your machine feels heavy you are going to get tired.  When you are tired you make mistakes.  When you make mistakes you get stuck or Hurt or dead.  Hopefully it never results in injury or death, but you get my drift.

Projects are fun

Sometimes we get these grand ideas to complete some task.  For me this week it was remodeling two bathrooms in my house. My wife had grown tired of our unoriginal cookie cutter bathrooms.  So she came to me with the grand plan.  I of cource was persuaded through constant pressure to say yes.  Today I finished one of the bathrooms except for some wall touchup and haning a mirror.  It looks quite a bit better than it did.  The Color ont he picture looks funny, but it is actualy a light green color, not a puke brown color.  Sorry about that.

So that is enough about my wifes project.  I want to tell you all more a bout a project I have been working on myself. I have been working on the www.discusspowersports.com forum. I am almost ready to launch.  There are just a couple more things to tie up, then I will let you all see and join the forum.  I am excited about where it could go.  I just wanted to give you guys some background as to why I decided to start a forum.

Doing Good Business

We have all had those experiences with a business that leaves us wishing we had never made the mistake of using them.  I have had my share of such experiences.  However this post's goal isn't to complain about crappy business owners.  It is to hopefully help the smaller business that goes above and beyond to make their customer happy.  I will just name a few who have helped me most recently.  I hope you go use them too for your needs.

If you are ever in New Zealand

I have a coworker who spent some time down in New Zealand.  He started talking to me about a boat tour that he took.  The way he described it sounded pretty cool.  But let me be honest, I have been on boat tours before, and most the time they are nothing special.  This one however looks to be pretty crazy and exciting.  If I am ever in New Zealand I will have to do this tour. You will see what I mean.
