The Pink Panther Bike

I went to a place called the First Friday. Every first Friday of the month they have an art walk. Artists set up booths and sell their work. They had one booth where you could tie die. My friend Amy and I did our own shirts. Sweet huh! I thought it would be perfect to take a picture in front of my beetle!

My bike with the primer on. Lots of work!
Its time for the pink. It took several layers of course!

Ooooo! Nice! I am proud to introduce the Pink Panther bike. It has a new paint job and handle bar grips. The seat is also new. The seat post does not fit properly. I ordered another seat. I guess I will have to sell the seat and seat post that I just got. The next seat should be coming in about a week!

I found a black pin-stripe at the auto shop. I put it right around the edge of the pink. It really cleaned the edge up and you can't even see it. Sweet!

Taking It Apart

Look at the bike not the sweet pants! Hint hint!

This dissembling began in the kitchen. It was of course too hot in the garage. We took everything off and appart to begin stripping the paint off. Little did Natalie and I know that it was going to be a pain. It was easy taking the bike apart. The hard part was stripping off the paint. This whole process has taken two days. We have also run out of paint stripper. We are almost there. Just a few little spots left. Sweet though!

Our Sweet Bike Club

Yes it has ape hangers and a fat back tire. The front fork also sticks out far. The seat that is not there yet will be low and a bannana seat.

What a classic. White wall tires and wide handlebars.

My roomates and I are working on getting some old vintage bikes to fix up. The red one is mine. It is a Schwinn Stingray lowrider. It only cost $40 and as you can tell needs some work. That is the fun part! I am excited about making it mine and accessorizing. The turquoise bike is a Raleigh cruiser bike that we got for $30 dollars. It will either be Natalie's or Pat's. We are still looking for one more bike at another awsome price. We found them on Craigslist. They are so sweet huh! We must find bells, mirrors, baskets ect.We still need to come up with a cool name for our bike club.

Our Fun Sedona Trip

Kara and I! Sitting by the campfire. It was so nice outside.
Kara and Kelli. Riding back home . These are my girls. They are the best ever!
Keith, Burkley, and Dan!

I went with 11 boys and 5 girls to spend the night in Sedona. We stayed the night in a house there. We had a bonfire in the backyard and a bbq. The hamburgers were excellent. It was a blast. The next morning we woke up and had some waffles. Everyone except for me went hiking. I could not because of my knee. I sat in the shade in the backyard and read a book. It was actually relaxing because it was quiet and pretty nice outside. The weather was in the 70-80. Nice considering it was in 100 in Surprise AZ. We also played games. Fun stuff!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I am exhausted! School has started and I have physical therapy three times a week. I am able to leg press 70 lbs. My therapist said that I can start driving when I can press 80 lbs. I am so ready to drive again. Yeah! Very soooon!

Yummy!

What is your favorite night time snack? Mine is POP CORN!

School Started!

Nice looking new school! It is called Desert Moon Elementary. We are the owls!

School has been okay so far. My first class starts about 12:30 each day. School gets out at 3:45. I have lunch duty from 11-11:30. The other part of the day I have been trying to keep myself busy. It has given me lots of time to get organized and to also rest my knee while working at my desk. I have been crutching along still at school. Lots of students ask me if I broke my leg. It is a little anoying. I am so ready to be done with my crutches and knee brace.
