Okay, okay I do not want to hear any ‘women drivers’ cracks! But, well, I took our new Monster Truck out for its inaugural run and, well, broke a Rear Connecting Rod. Yup. Snapped that puppy right in two. It took me ohhhh about 6 minutes. Thankfully, there are spare parts available on Amazon. This radio controlled Monster Truck is so much FUN!!! It’s FAST!! 35 miles-an-hour fast! I know that there are RC trucks and cars that go faster, but to me 35 miles-an-hour in a small 1/12 scale truck is pretty darn fast! I was having a blast with this truck!! I admit that I knew nothing about radio control cars and trucks and I did immediately go to FULL SPEED ahead! I raced this puppy like I was a Nascar driver! Had I started out slow and actually learned to control the truck first I wouldn’t have snapped the rear connecting rod. This truck is lightweight and looks rugged!! The car body is easily removed by removing 4 small pins. Once the pins are removed, you can unlatch the battery compartment. The battery unsnaps easily. The batteries charge in about 2 hours.

Alice and I recently received the new book  “My Amazing Dad” to review and truly the timing couldn’t have been better with this story!! One of the pages reads “He has no idea how to fix a leaky faucet” until very recently this page would have been perfect for Alice’s Amazing Dad. My daughter and son-in-law have been have plumbing issues over the last couple of months that still has them living out of boxes! With plumbers and drywall guys in and out, Son-in-law Dan (very impressively) taught himself how to install a sink and cupboard for the bathroom! I have to give Dan a double thumbs up. It looks amazing and more importantly it works like a dream. My Amazing Dad is written by Ezekiel Kwaymullina and illustrated by Tom Jellett. This is a sweet book that reminds up that not all Dads are handymen, prompt or even good at everything. My Amazing Dad’s message is to kids and Dad’s everywhere is just be who you are, because you are AMAZING to us! What a great reminder to Dad’s that you don’t have to be perfect. Kids don’t care that you aren’t a handyman, that isn’t what kids will…

This is my very first Action Camera and I am having a blast with this!! Actually, I should say that 4-year-old Alice and I are having a blast! The PHONECT 4K WIFI Sport Waterproof Camera has its own waterproof housing it also comes with a couple of mounting devices, a charging cable, a battery and a quick start guide. You will have to purchase a microSD card. I ordered a 64GB one at the same time I ordered the PHONECT 4K WIFI Sport Waterproof Camera. I didn’t want to waste anytime getting started! We’ve had so much fun with action camera!! I’ve taken several videos from indoors to outdoors. I ordered a chest harness and attached that to Alice. How fun is that to see the world from her perspective! Getting started was super easy. Press the ON button after the camera turns on. Press and release the button twice for the menu screen which is very easy to navigate. One thing I want to note here is to turn OFF the auto shut off! Or you’ll be thinking you are filming when actually you are basically carrying around a paper weight. You can keep the 2.0 inch TFT LCD…
