Workout Wednesday

Workout Wednesday...HA!  Try 3 weeks now!  But it sounds good for the blog title, huh?   We made a commitment to get healthy, that includes the kids.  So here we are, going at it everyday.  The kids are surprisingly doing very well at this.  Not that I doubted they could do that, but the older 2 are lazy teens, lol. And truthfully, they could kick our butts right now.  But that will hopefully change very soon.  

We quit smoking over 7 months ago, and shortly after we gained a little weight.  We knew it was possible, we were warned, lol.  The weight was not welcomed and it took us a couple of months to finally say, "Let's do this".  And here we are, working out daily.  As I mentioned before, the kids are working out with us. Its been great doing this together, which brought us to a deal we all agreed upon.  Let me explain a little background first...

Our daughter is a childhood cancer survivor, 5 years to date!  Her diagnosis has lead us to become volunteers for several organizations, with our biggest one being Alex's Lemonade Stand (www.alexslemonade.org).  Last year was their first "Lemon Run" a local 5K, here in our area.  We volunteered and our daughter was an honored speaker.  We thought it would be very fitting for all of us to run the 5K this year, together!  And come to find out, our daughter will be the first survivor to run it!  This has given us a goal to work on and we are all very excited about it!


So, I am sure this will not be the last mention of our working out, fundraising or combination of the 2, lol.  Wish us luck as we continue to improve our health and continue to fundraise to help improve the lives of those affected by childhood cancer.

Miniature Monday

V-8 Engines in Miniature! For all you out there who Love V-8 engines. There is no replacement for displacement, but check out these tiny versions that you could run on your workbench or kitchen table. These models were built by craftsmen the same way the big ones are made by machining billet stock and castings....  But in miniature. These are not just models that look like engines, they are real running engines. Here are some really nice examples:  Lee Root built this ¼ scale Corvette engine The major components were machined entirely from solid billet aluminum that has been bead blasted to look like castings. Several V-8 engines by Ken Hurst are displayed at a model engineering shows like the Recent Western Engine Model Exhibition (WEME) in Vallejo , CA . How about that Supercharger! Behind the first engine is his blue Challenger V-8. The 103 cc engine Sounds great running on a mixture of white gas and high octane racing fuel. Eugene Corl built this 1/3 scale Chevy V-8 using engine castings he produced himself. The engine is seen here at the Gas Engine Antique Reproduction Show (GEARS) In Portland, Oregon.  Jim Moyer built this 1/6 scale version of a 1964 365 HP Chevrolet Corvette 327. The world's smallest known running Chevrolet V-8. The heads and block are machined from billet aluminum. Jim even made stamping dies to make the oil pan, rockers and front cover. The valve covers are investment cast. The finished 1/6 scale 5-bearing crankshaft fits in Jim's hand. It utilizes real Babbitt bearings. Here you can see the cylinder heads of the Moyer 327 plus the stamped oil pan and front cover. Some things have to be modified to make a small engine run. Electricity and fuel molecules don't scale, so some parts have to be slightly heavier or larger than exact scale would dictate. Getting a small engine to run requires skill and careful work; getting one to run well is an art. Getting a small engine to run requires skill and careful work; getting one to run well is an art.

Computers and vlogging

Hello random people

My name is Steve. I, like alot of people are trying to name money from the internet. Just like every business you need money to make money. I am a vlogger and a blogger. Making the blogs I can do just fine. The problem is with vlogging is not my video recording equipment. In fact my cam is one of the top of the line that a hobbiest can buy (which was a gift). The problem is my computers are a little out dated. To make good vlogs you need to be able to edit your videos. Which usely takes me somewhere around 3 hours. It doesn't matter how long the video is or how long the editing part of it is. I haven't bought a new computer in 10 years. I would love it if a random person out there would find it in their heart to donate a fast multi core top of the line new computer to me.
Yes I just asked random strangers to give me an awsome computer or 2.
So if you find out in your heart to do this I thank you, my wife thanks you, my kids thank you, my dog thanks you, and my wallet thanks you.
