ReDo Eye Candy Pop Barking Ducks Skateboard ...

Jakks Pacific sent us a demo unit of their ReDo Skateboard line for free as part of a Twitter Party that I am a co-host for on Thursday. Opinions are my own.

The kids have been very curious about skateboards ever since my sister gave them her old board. Andy also has a skateboard that converts to a scooter and back. But they have never seen a skateboard as nice as this one from ReDo. From deck to trucks to wheels this thing is beautiful. I don’t say that lightly either as I am not much of a skateboard fan as I was when I was a kid. My old board is kicking around somewhere on the Cape right now. I am pretty sure it is showing all of its 30 years of wear and tear, too.

This ReDo board is really nice, however. It has a great color scheme and great hardware. It is a Popsicle skateboard made from 7ply thin hard NE maple, for beginner or advanced users. This thing has super fast ReDo Abec 5 speed bearings 5” ReDo Geo Lite trucks with hardened steel axle. It is made with a wider shape for increased edge control, smooth wheels and bushings, and a tighter turn radius. The wheels are 52MM 95A soft urethane wheels for a smooth ride. It also has smooth 86A Medium Bushings for easier turning & stability.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
