36-Inch Umbrella Hat

I know, I know. An umbrella hat, really? Yes! I just got back from a long camping trip and have some not so cool sunburns. Health risks aside, I look goofy. I have the famous redneck burn and t-shirt tan. So here goes the logic with the umbrella hat. Sure, you will look goofy while you […]
Kink Proof Garden Hose

I like watering plants and washing the car on a nice day. It is a bit therapeutic for me I suppose. However, it usually starts off, and ends, with a wrestling match with a tangled/kinked hose. That part I could do without. The Tuff Guard might be the perfect garden hose. It comes in 25, 50, […]

Pedal Powered Roller Coaster In Japan

This pedal powered roller coaster, in Okayama, Japan, is high above the ground and has amazing views. I guess the lawyers in Japan aren’t as out of control as ours here in the US. There are no guard rails on either side and the riders are only held in by a simple seat belt. Energy […]
