Tyler's 6th birthday
Tyler turned six on Wednesday. Grammy had sent him a package with a bunch of gifts. He got some clothes, shoes, yo-yo-, pez dispenser, squirt guns, puzzle robot, and a big ball.
Tyler wanted the special green chair for breakfast. I made him his favorite, waffles, but Heidi bought those mini-doughnuts laden with saturated fat and one-upped me.
Then Heidi picked him up a Schwinn 20" bike from craigslist. Tyler took a few laps around it and did well, and after he went to bed, I started working on it to get it ready for his morning commute.
It was amazing that he could ride it at all because both wheels were out of true. The front was 5 mm out, and the rear was so bad it was constantly rubbing against the brakes. I trued up the front to less than 1 mm, and I trued the rear to the point that the only area that binds is a huge bulge that needs to be hammered out. I'll do that right before school this morning.
Happy birthday, Tyler! Thanks to Heidi for purchasing the decorations, wrapping the presents, making the cake, and picking up the bike in Livermore.
