Well both Harry and I were suppose to go to my friend Christopher's place for a Halloween party on Saturday night Oct. 28th, but with my roller blading mishap I managed to tweak my back and really wasn't up for going out. On Halloween night Oct. 31st Harry and I were suppose to go to our friend Tom's place for some cheesy horror movies. But this time Harry's had a major toothache and wasn't really in the mood for a party. So this Halloween pretty much was a bust... oh well there's always next year.

Second "little" brother outing
Today I had my second little brother hang out. We went to Balboa Park. We first started with feeding the ducks which he really liked. Second was bike riding and since my bike tires were flat I had to roller blade with some really old roller blades. He was a beginner when it came to biking so I tried to help him as much as I could without killing myself being on roller blades. He hit a fence once but was doing pretty good until we hit a slight hill. He couldn't slow down so I tried to jump and help but releazed that I was no help since I was rolling backwards and into some bushes. He managed to stay up and made it down the hill but I did some great balancing tumbling act and managed to tweak my back a bit. After that I was done roller blading. We decided to walk around the park a little and he saw that there were paddle boats and wanted to ride. We had to walk all the way around the lake to get to them. While we did that we played some kick ball. We get to the paddle boat office and he says he wants to do a full hour. I tell him that we can do a half hour and if he want's to continue then we can extend it. Luckily I did that, because no more then ten minutes paddling around the lake he tells me that he is not feeling well and wants to go back. We paddle back and I tell him that it's time for lunch so we start the long walk back to the jeep. As we are walking back he tells me that he has to go to the bathroom, I tell him "oh that's fine thereb are bathrooms here" well come to find out that my "little" doesn't like to go to the bathroom #2 anywhere but home and he had to go for the past two hours and if he could just go home instead of lunch. So I took him home and only spent about 2 1/2 hours with him. The outing started out fun but ended abrubtly. Our next outing is going to be a movie outing.

Car repairs
Well I took my Jeep to Midas to have the brakes checked and I know by the sound they were making that it wasn't going to be cheap. I left it there and walked to work and a few hours later the guy called and gave me the bad news. Both back brakes are fine.. but the two front brake pads and brake rotars needed to be replaced and they also wanted to flush out my brake fluid. When it comes to places like this you never know if they are really telling you the turth or not but since I haven't not dealt with my brakes since I have had the Jeep (over a year) I figure it wouldn't hurt to take care of it now. So I paid $500.00 to have my brakes fixed... man this was an expensive weekend.

"Little" Outing
Entry for May 15, 2012 - "Little" Outing
Well today was my first outing with my new "little" brother Nico, he's 8. The funny thing is his older brother also got a new "Big" brother the same day and we both got there at the same time to pick up our "little’s".
Nico and I went to Sherman Oaks Castle Park. He loves golf and video games so I thought this would be the perfect place. We played two rounds of miniature golf, and he isn't bad. He got the only hole in one shot of the day. After golf we went inside and played a few video games, we played some ice hockey and then a two player X-men fighting game. We decided to take a break from video games and had some lunch. I got a burger and fries and he wanted pizza. You could buy it by the slice so I asked for one slice for him.. but he said he wanted two. I knew there was no way he was going to eat two slice, they were pretty big slices, but I also knew he didn't get breakfast. Well I was right.. he ate half a slice and wanted to take the rest home. Oh well .. now I know how much food to get him while we are out. After lunch we decided to play games that would give up tickets, you get enough tickets and you can redeem them for small prizes. We played and played and amassed about 465 tickets. So Nico had fun spending all of them and of course got a bunch on small toys and tootsie rolls. It was a fun time and a great first outing.
