We left our carrots in the ground through the winter and it looks like they became the jumbo variety. They are really sweet, we had some for dinner!
We all gathered around Queen Angie on her birthday night and Joshua got to hold her wand of ultimate power and authority. He was pretty excited, after all it is very rare for a male to wield such a thing.
While I took Angie out for her birthday grandma and the kids finished her fruit pizza (her chosen alternative to birthday cake). They did awsome decorating it and it tasted so good.I added rear suspension to Zachary's Jeep he wanted it to be like Dad's buggy. I think they like it. Zachary saw Speed Racer and now he always wears his Speed Racer helmet and glasses to drive.I have ben working on my buggy some more. In the first half of the video I have re-timed the engine and re-jetted the carbs. After tuning the engine I broke the drive chain, you can hear it skipping when I launch about half way through the video. So I changed out the sprockets and chain for the next larger size. In the proccess I also changed the "rear end" gear ratio from 3.28 to 4.77. After you see Zachary and Macey in the wheel I have the new gear ratio, it made a huge difference. Way more torque off the line.

Wow, Dave, that is awesome, especially the last launch with the wheels coming clear off the ground!! I want one!! Landon loves watching both videos. He keeps saying "Dave fast buggy car". Casey said he's watched it like 6 times today. You guys could never live in Utah 'cause you need such a big place to play.
Your next addition will have to be wheelie bars ;)!
Happy Birthday Angie! We loved watching your videos. Jacob was glued to the computer and as soon as they were over he said, "More?"
