Read: 9 mins.Biking is a form of exercise and adding an electric motor gives me some mixed feelings. On the other hand, assisted pedaling or fully motorized transportation is a great way to explore difficult or far-reaching areas normally inaccessible to the casual bicyclist. Rides with friends used to be a regular weekend activity before having kids where I purposely chose to be on a mountain bike going around 10 mph. This was to slow myself down for the relaxed riders in the group. Recently, however, my wife wanted to get a motorized bike for her mother so she could join us for family rides. We ultimately decided on the semi-foldable Gyroor C3.

Read: 4 mins.I had owned several, hobbyist-level, remote control cars over the years -- the kind where you can literally take apart each component, upgrade parts, and tweak your vehicles to your liking. They generally cost several $100's. There are also less expensive ones that I allow my children to play and practice the controls with. This particular Bezgar 1 is a good, introductory vehicle into the hobbyist world of RC cars with excellent, all-terrain, waterproof performance.

Review: Bountech Inflatable Bounce House (Sweet House 8266)

Read: 6 mins.A few months ago, we had purchased a 9' x 7' bounce house for our daughter's birthday so the kids could enjoy themselves during the small, COVID-19 pandemic-restricted celebration. Even though we loved watching the kids jump up and down, they seemed to lose interest after a few minutes, and so we were on the lookout for a more EXCITING one that also had a large slide. Like before, at a rental cost of $75-$99 a day, it made financial sense to purchase a bounce house for long-term, repeated use, and this one from Bountech did not disappoint.

Review: Runwave Kohala Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board (iSUP)

By |2022-08-03T01:37:06-07:00Nov 6, 2020 - Friday|Product Reviews, Reviews|

Read: 7 mins.About five months ago, my best friend and I each purchased an inflatable, standup paddleboard (iSUP) so we could get some fun exercise in while socially distancing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also meant as a way to bond with our children, and not long after, many friends joined in with boards of their own. Their favorite was the Runwave Kohala that also proved quite popular around the harbor we paddled at. In this review, I take a look at what makes it an excellent beginner board. It had also been marked a "Best Seller" by Amazon.com a couple times.

Read: 8 mins.For ten years, my home was Vienna, Austria, and the sweet tooth of my young self had found many favorites. Among them were cakes, chocolates, and other Viennese desserts. In this review, we will take a look at one of my all-time beloved chocolates: Mozartkugeln (by Mirabell, Reber, Victor Schmidt/Manner, and Fürst). Decadent, smooth or nutty, sweet, and wrapped in a ball of goodness, the rich, milky chocolate taste brings a bit of luxury and indulgence to an otherwise boring day.
