Roofing

Roofing is some seriously sketchy business. I say this because I just spent two full days on the roof of my parents beach house with my Dad and my brother Shawn. We had to get rid of all the old shingles and tar paper, some of the old drip-edge and plywood and replace with new. The process took a full 3 and 1/2 days and I could only help with 2 of them but working on a roof is much different than chillin on a roof. Not just because ones work and the other play, but more so because the working takes away alot of your focus, which would normally be used to make balancing/not falling off an easy task.

Pandora radio

I have just recently discovered the most magical website. Anyone who loves music, and just chillaxin' listen to new bands will share my love for, http://www.pandora.com/.
Get on and check it out, all you have to do is create an account and sign in, then you a band that you like and it will design a play list specifically for you, and all the songs it comes up with to play are chosen because of there similar genre to the group your entered.
It will play nonstop, commercial free, music radio. And you can always change the group that you chose and Pandora will save all your old group choices for you to go back and listen to more of that certain genre.
So far for me this is the best, most easy way to listen to music that you like but have never heard before. Pandora will find new bands just for you. So check it out, you'll love it, I'm listening right NOW!!!

how to clean and lube ball bearings

For anyone who skateboards, roller skates, or takes part in an activity which involves the use of ball bearings, you may already know that maintenance of ball bearing is necessary to keep them from corroding and become restrictive or seize completely.
To clean and lubricate your ball bearing is a quick and simple process.
First, remove bearings from the wheels so they are loose and can be soaked.
Second, fill a small bowl or dish with some form of degrease agent, WD-40 works the best in my experience.
Third, individually spin bearings using your fingers to make sure the spinning is smooth and grit free. Then tap dry with paper towel.
Fourth, use a very thin oil based lubricant and drip a small amount directly onto the sidewall of the bearing spinning as you go to work in the lubricant.
Finally, replace bearings into wheels and enjoy the frictionless, smooth sailin'

being a "porch monkey"

In my profile, I seem to have mentioned that I take interest in being a "porch monkey" and doing "porch monkey" things. For lack of anything better to write, I would like to take this time out to be perfectly clear about what I mean by this. By "porch monkey" I mean to hang out lackadaisically on the porch, converse with others and passerby's, and thus, enjoying the elements and usually a couple beverages. Despite any dictionary definition, I do not mean to be offensive in any racial way.

my good lunch

I had a delicious lunch today when I returned home after my first two classes. I ate a french bread pizza. It was bangin'! Litely crispy on the bottom and than soft through out. I would rate it a 9.5 in deliciousness.
