Car Repair - Part Two

'Tis done! I had to disassemble the brakes a few more times during the test phase of the tires - but I think I fixed all of my brake fluid leaks. It is extremely nice to be able to pull up to a stop light and push on the breaks and not have to keep pushing the brakes over and over to push more break fluid into the lines. It does make me pay a lot more attention to the small sounds the car makes... "Is that small knocking sound every time the wheel goes around from changes I've made these last two days or was it there before and I never noticed it?"

I have a new life's ambition - daredevil gymnastics

When I saw the Chinese gymnastics at the boat races a month or two back, I saw some of the kids practicing, and they did some moves just as neat as these, but nothing quite as risky. My favorite move I saw a few months back was seeing the boy lay on the ground on his back with his elbows on the ground and his hands up, and the girl do a hand stand on his hands. At this point, the boy would roll over and over, keeping the girl on his hands. At this point, I can't remember exactly how he managed to do that while on his stomach? I don't even have a video of it. I'll bring a camera next year though!
