Canoe or Kayak Down Weeki Wachee Springs

Take a trip down Wikki Wachee Springs in Spring Hill Florida. My family usually goes at least a couple times every summer and we have a great time each time we go. The spring water feeding the small river is so clean and clear, you can see everything that is in the water from fish to manatees. The water is about 73 degrees fahrenheit (23.5 celsius) year round, which makes it a perfect place to go for a summer activity.

Snipe On Ebay – Win at the Last Second!

Ever wonder how people win eBay auctions by slipping in at the last second with a winning bid. They can easily win the item that you stayed up late to bid on. If this has happend to you, you’re not alone, I’ve been frustrated more than once when I lost an auction or spent time watching one, only to see the price driven up higher than regualr price.

Parasailing at St. John’s Pass

One weekend my family decided that it would be a cool idea to go parasailing, so the three of us went to St. John’s Pass in Florida to see if we could make our wishes of flying through the air possible. When we arrived at the Pass we decided to go down the wooden boardwalk before we went parasailing. Every time I go to St. John’s Pass I always love it. I enjoy the environment and being next to the water. There are plenty of places to have lunch or dinner and lots of delicious soft serve icecream.

New Meaning For Guitar Hero

One of my friends just finished his finals at school. When I asked him how he thought he did on the last one he took he told me he guitar heroed it. This got me thinking and I came up with a new definition of the popular game Guitar Hero.

Dinner Train Theater – Murder Mystery

I attended a dinner train theater recently and have found that it can make for a fun experience. If you aren’t familiar with this type of theater I’ll explain. It is a train ride, you eat dinner and enjoy a play that happens on the train while you eat. The play that we saw was called “Murder Quite Undiplomatic”. It was a murder mystery that happened while we were aboard the train. The actors would go from car to car preforming each act and it was the passenger’s job to pick up on clues to who the killer is.

2010 Camaro – Last Chance for Muscle Car Revival?

The Chevy 2010 Camaro could be the last rallying cry for a Detroit muscle car reunion and revival! With Ford Mustang and more recently the Dodge Challenger attempting to “liven up” the market, the new Camaro hopefully is just fashionably late to the party…

Co2 Fill Station – Paintball

If you are an avid paintballer then you know that some paintball parks like to charge big bucks to refill your co2 canisters. Some parks will charge five dollars per refill on a 20 oz tank and some will charge a certain amount for you to get “all day air”. Most people don’t realize that co2 isn’t that expensive and you can get it much cheaper. The reason it is so expensive at paintball parks is because you are paying for the convenience of having it near by, you just have to pay.

Paintball Gun, Tippmann a5 – Review

The Tippmann name brand is renowned for it’s good quality guns. Over the years I have used Tippmann guns with no problems and I have never had to repair a gun or any part of the gun. I have been using the Tippmann a5 for a while and I have come to love it’s availability, usability, and its customizability. Now I don’t mean to sound like a preacher, but this is a gun that someone should be talking about

Tiki Carving – Tiki Furniture

We had just finished our flower garden in our backyard and we wanted to have a few decorations to liven it up. On our way to Walmart we came across a roadside merchant. He was selling tikis that he hand carved and painted. The price range was from $25 to $200 dollars depending on how much work he put into the carving.

Inflatable Water Trampoline Review

Don’t get a cheap one! I bought a $400 water trampoline from Sports Authority to use at the beach while I was vacationing at a beach house. The box was pretty heavy, but that was expected as it was a large trampoline. We got the trampoline home and decided to inflate it to check it out. It was 10 ft in diameter. I couldn’t wait to get it on the water. I had to deflate the trampoline and put it away until the exciting day of departure came. After I deflating I tried to put it back in the box, but that wasn’t happening. It is the same story with inflatable mattresses once you take them out of the box they don’t go back in. That is a fact of life, but
