Steven is the neighbor kid. He was the one that was always in the garage when I was building the plane. He asked all the questions, never got in the way and could hold stuff when you needed 3 hands. He can carry on a conversation all by himself and can quote lines from every movie he has ever seen. He's also a speed skater, like the olympic kind. For his young age he is very good, to quote Will Farrell "he's sort of a big deal".
Well, to get really good at speed skating you train all year, on rollerblades in the summer. Long, fast rollerblades, and if you hit a slick spot on the track, you go down hard. Steven had a tough week - he found the slick spot. He broke a bone in his wrist and shattered 3 teeth. He had to endure 3 root canals before the broken arm was set. So when I wandered down to say "hey" tonight, I expected him to be on the couch watching TV and bumming. Not the case. I walk in and he pounces on me and says "Can we go flying?" His mom gives the nod, and we are off to Anoka.
We shot some T&G at STP and circled his house - the tower guys and gals and STP love GA traffic
Steven snapped pics with the Rebel - the kid has a great eye!
