Getting ready for 2011!

Off to a good start - $70 in materials and 1 1/2 days of time and we have a working prototype (dry land).  This one is made from wood for fast construction but we'll learn a lot while we run around then neighborhood.  Plus it's way fun!

Read the photos from the bottom up!

Off to our parking spot (up hill).


Let's rock and roll!
Kids and Armando on road test.  After Jami and I went to see Rob, about 0.4 mi round trip.
2nd Road Test
First road test.
Needed help moving it over onto the bottom disk - Thanks Bob & Lisa.  (We sent Marshall over to stack firewood as payment.)

Might double as a wet-bar!
A quick coat of primer to keep it from getting gooey... 
9-foot diameter discs ready to paint, gotta rock out.
Disc segments cut out and ready to glue up.
Quick break for a soccer game - Marshall scored 2 goals!
