Inara loves her walker.  It is her preferred mode of transportation, and her battering ram.  You got to watch your ankles in our house, cause at a moment's notice you could get wacked in the lower leg. I refer to it as the "Imperial Walker", as it lays devestation on those who get in its way.  It is especially funny when Inara wants to get into the family room where there is carpet.  She doesn't have enough horsepower going forward, so she will turn the walker around and go in reverse, which we call 4x4 mode since she has more power.   The best $30 I ever spent, endless hours of entertainment.  See it in action by watching the below video.

Moving Tomorrow

Friday, August 8, 2008 3:55 PM by shawn.tomlinson

Well, we are finally moving into our house tomorrow.  I am looking forward to it, but my back isn't.  I am fully expecting my back to be completely jacked come Sunday.  Maybe I can join Marisa at the chiropractor and we can get the family jacked-back discount.   

On a side note, I am feeling the pain of being a home-owner.  Some things in the house are not working, the yard is in horrible shape, and I am constantly thinking of things I need but dont have.  For example, that part of the yard is very dry (the sprinkler system must be missing it), I need to water it.  Oh, I guess I need a garden hose unless I want to carry buckets of water from the kitchen.  Hey, I need to unhook that wire from the ceiling in the basement.  Hmmmm...can't reach it,  I need a ladder, or I need to develop some mad jumping skills.  Man, it sure would be nice if i had something in the garage to put my tools in, or on.  Hey, a workbench!  Well, for now the floor is a good spot :)

Actually, home ownership has been great so far, but it is still fun to share the adventures of it!
