I learned that monster trucks are just as great in person as I always thought they would be. I was always fascinated with the commercials for monster truck shows. So much so, that in my spare time at college, I made one. (Sorry, this one is audio only*.)
My asbestos friend invited my son and I along for a girl’s night out to Monster Jam at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. My son was a little scared at first. But I had him equipped with proper hearing protection and he really got into it when the trucks did their freestyle at the end of the night.
Hearing protection a must!
Grave Digger (the only truck that was there that I had heard of) flipped over–twice! That was awesome! We got all the drivers’ autographs afterward.
Grave Digger! He was even on fire (a little)!
I was sad that the Monster Mutt and the Scooby-Doo trucks were not there. But I would definitely go again sometime.
On to a new subject…
Kids, when you get a new computer ALWAYS make recovery disks right away, and store in a safe, logical location.
Also, regularly back up things you care about. Delete the things on your computer that you do not care enough to back up. I had to have my hard drive in my laptop replaced this week, but I am VERY glad to have it back. (FYI–I did both of those satisfactorily enough that I was not devastated by the loss.)
