For those that tune-in each week to see what’s happening on Larry’s Country Diner, will know who Nadine is on the show. Nadine has appeared in every episode that I have seen so far. You know when Nadine is about to appear by the music that gets played before her entrance. I think that idea caught on so well, they have also tried to create a piece of music for her exits too. She’s the one that comes in and changes things up a bit. She always has a few jokes to tell and will let us know about the recent church announcements too. Who ever came up with the idea to add the Nadine character to Larry’s Country Diner, it was a good one! We also get to hear about her husband Homer, but so far, Homer hasn’t made any appearances on the show.

If you haven’t ever watched Larry’s Country Diner before, you owe it to yourself to check it out sometime. There isn’t another program on TV that you can compare it to. It’s an original show by today’s standards. They do a good job with keeping the memories going from all the legends that have passed away in recent years. Sometimes we weep when we lose our loved ones, but Larry’s Country Diner focuses on the good times and celebrate the legacies in which some of these folks have left behind. People that enjoy country music and the names that put country music on the map, will enjoy watching Larry’s Country Diner. Each episode takes you down memory lane and reminds all of us the ones that got country music to where it is today. Not all of the famous guests like today’s country music, but they like the fact that it’s popular and they played some small role in achieving that fame.

Is Larry’s Country Diner a real restaurant in Tennessee?

I’m not sure on that question and perhaps someone that lives in the area or works for the show could answer that. Originally I did think this was a fictitious place and not a real diner. However, in some of the more recent episodes, some statements have been made that would suggest this is a real diner. Not sure if the public is able to attend live tapings of the show, but they might could actually get something to eat at Larry’s Country Diner. If it turns out that Larry’s Country Diner is a real restaurant; then I will probably plan to make a trip and eat there. Some of the food items that get shown from time to time does look appetizing. Nothing fancy on the menu, just your typical food choices you would find in any other diner in America.

The hockey world in North America has a big game to watch on TV today. It will happen later today when the USA Olympic Hockey Team will face our neighbors to the north in a match up on the ice. Canada has one of the best teams on paper in the Olympic Games in Vancouver this year. It’s not likely the USA team will win today, but many Americans will be hoping for a miracle. The last one occured in 1980 when the USA Team beat the Russian team of professionals. We now have the professionals in our line up, but so does the Canadian team.

Is it possible for a team with people like Dany Heatley, Rick Nash, Sidney Crosby, Jerome Ignila, and other talented NHL players to beat a team of young Americans? On paper there is no hope for the USA team today. However, there is a reason why we play these games and it’s to see who is really better. I will be rooting hard for the USA team today, but it’s hard to imagine how they can keep up with  one of the most talented teams to ever skate on the ice before. I’m not sure an All Star team from the NHL could defeat this team from Canada. Many think the Russians have the best team in Vancouver, but from the names I see on each squad’s roster, I think Canada is clearly the better team. It should be interesting to see just how close the guys from the USA can keep this game with Canada today.

Most men would love to trade their fat content in their bodies now for muscle. Muscle is much more attractive than the fat we carry around each day. I have extra fat on me now that I would like to get rid of. The fat burners for men is a good place to start. A product that will help reduce our fat content in the body is a good idea. I’m glad someone invented products like this for men. The next step for me would be to replace that fat with muscle. Unfortunately there is no products like that on the marketplace. To get muscle on our bodies we still have to do it the old fashion way. Exercise and lifting a few weights is still required for all men that want to add more muscles on their frame. I have trouble sticking with exercise programs, but I really need to find one that works. The faster I can see muscle building up on my body, the more I would be willing to lift weights each day or every other day. I hear that weight lifters should do their routines every other day and this allows time for the body to adjust. I’m just one of the many men right now that wants to replace fat for muscle.

People that suffer from acne are always trying to find the best products on the market. It’s an endless search for these people, because they want a product that is affordable and works fast. One thing that can help acne sufferers is using their acne medicines properly. In some cases, people can make their acne worse by not using their acne treatments properly. The next time you buy a acne gel at the store or online, be sure to read the directions on how to apply it and how often it should be applied. There is a reason for these directions and a lot of smart people have tested their product and they know the best ways to use it. You should take their advice and apply the correct amounts and at the proper time intervals, so you’re can get the best results possible. If you follow the directions correctly and don’t get the results you were seeking, then try a different product. Don’t try to perform any steps outside of the product’s advice, because you can make your acne problems worse.

The last couple of weekends has been very interesting in the National Football League. The 2009 NFL season is now complete and there are no more NFL games to be played. The Super Bowl was played last Sunday between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. All eyes turned to Miami last Sunday to watch the last 2 teams standing in the NFL playoffs. It was an exciting season and a lot of good games were played that led up to the Super Bowl in South Florida. A very old quarterback from Minnesota and the rookie quarterback from the New York Jets was just a couple of the stories that made football interesting. While some may have not seen Brett Favre as a underdog; there were a lot of people not giving the Saints a chance to beat Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 44. The football fans that like to bet on sports were picking the Colts to win in most parts of the country. I was just curious to know how many of you picked the Saints to win?

It’s been 4 years since Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans and even caused severe damage on the Superdome that the New Orleans Saints call home. No hurricane or NFL team for that matter was going to stop the Saints this year. Drew Brees played as well as any quarterback has ever played before. His great arm and a brilliant on-side kick to start the 3rd quarter was enough to upset the mighty Indianapolis Colts. Everyone that laid down their money on the Saints to win, probably got a nice little payout last weekend. I’m not sure exactly what the odds were, but you would have won more money with the Saints winning the Super Bowl; than you would have won, if the Colts had beaten the Saints. The Saints were the the underdogs in the Super Bowl, so the football fans that like to bet on football, can get higher returns on their bets, if they are brave enough to pick the underdog. I am very happy for the Saints team and I think everyone was glad to see the city of New Orleans get a little good news for a change.

This Sunday is Valentines Day and NASCAR starts their season. Their very first race each year is called the Daytona 500 and many consider this the Super Bowl of auto racing. So in a way, the state of Florida is hosting 2 Super Bowls in back to back Sundays. There will be a lot of sports betting for the Daytona 500 and you never know which driver will be the one to cross the finish line first. You have a 1 in 43 chance of picking the winner, so even going with a favorite like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, or Dale Earnhardt Junior; the odds are still stacked against you. The money used to bet on the Daytona 500 will pale in comparison to the Super Bowl bets. However, this first race of the year will probably have more bets surrounding it than the next 5 NASCAR races in the 2010 season. It may sound strange to call your first race the “Super Bowl of NASCAR“, but that’s just one of the traditions in this sport. I just wish I knew the winner, so I could place a bet and win some money, like the lucky folks that took the Saints in last weekend’s football game.

Hello fellers, gents, and all the men out there that are lucky enough to have that special lady in their lives right now. We are once again approaching one of those holidays that we can’t forget. Letting a birthday or some other holiday slip by is sometimes acceptable. It’s never a good idea to forget about anniversaries or Valentines Day.

I’m here to make sure you don’t mess up this time. If you didn’t know or perhaps you forgot, I will tell you now that Valentines Day is Sunday. Let me repeat myself, Valentines Day is this Sunday (February 14th)! No need to panic, because I got you covered this year. I found a nice little sale going on over at Buy.com. They have a nice selection of items that men or women could get to please their Valentine this year. It didn’t take me long to find several nice gift items that the women would really like. I wasn’t sure if I should go with a ring, earrings, bracelet, necklace, or a watch. I wanted some piece of jewelry, but I wasn’t sure exactly which piece. I’m like this in restaurants too. I see several items I want to order off the menu, but have trouble picking just one food item to eat. So I usually will go with the sample platter that gives you several different foods to eat. I used that same mentality for choosing my Valentines Day gift this year. I just went for the sample platter of jewelry that Buy.com was offering.

So what did I find? Well if you look in the picture above, you will see a lovely heart-shaped jewelry set that matches. This set comes with a beautiful pendant that goes on a necklace chain. The pendant is a ruby and it’s in the shape of a heart that is perfect for a Valentines Day Gift. So your girlfriend or wife will have a beautiful necklace they can wear anytime. Since this item has that ruby shaped heart, she will remember this was a Valentines Day gift from you; for as long as you two stay together. However, you have to remember this is my jewelry sampler platter and that’s not all that’s included! It may not even be the best part of this jewelry platter. She may like the gorgeous earrings more than the necklace in this jewelry set. The earrings are rubies too and they have that awesome heart-shape as well. The necklace or earrings either one would be a nice Valentines Day gift by their self. When you can get the whole set for less than $50; then it’s worth the extra money to get the necklace and earrings.

Now I think I hit a homerun with this Valentines Day gift. If there is any ladies reading this blog post, please let me know your thoughts on this Valentines Day gift. I’m sure the “less than $50” was not a good part for the ladies out there. I think the men would be very satisfied to know they could get a necklace and earrings that are perfect heart shapes, that looks idea for Valentines Day at a cost of $44.99 and the shipping is totally free on this item at Buy.com. A perfect Valentines Day gift that looks really expensive, but cheap enough for us hard-working men to afford.

It’s not often we spotlight a beauty contestant from the state of Kentucky, but I felt compelled to shine a little spotlight on one of our own. It turns out Miss Kentucky who is Mallory Ervin is also a blogger online. She did very well in the latest Miss America Pageant and was one of the final 5 contestants on the stage; when the winner was announced from the state of Virginia.

You can read Mallory’s blog online and see that she is very active in her community and for the state of Kentucky. We normally think of Kentucky as the place for the best horses in the world and many tune in each year to watch the Kentucky Derby on TV. It is said the Kentucky Derby is the most exciting 2 minutes in sports. Their beauty contestant from Kentucky gave a lot more than 2 minutes for the state of Kentucky. She must have kept everyone watching the beauty contest on Saturday night as she continued to advance to each new round. It’s a big accomplishment to to make it to the last 10, but Mallory kept going and was in the top 5; before she eventually lost to Miss Virginia.

I was happy to see a blogger make it so far in the Miss America Pageant. I think Mallory should get a blog on her own domain name and keep her blog going. Sometimes the free blogs don’t do as well in the search engines and if more bloggers would have known about her, I’m sure they could have drummed up more support for her online. It may have still not been enough to win the contest on Saturday, but we will never know. This could be a new trend for contestants in the Miss American contest and we may see more bloggers gain support for their causes in contests. It was a great try for Miss Kentucky and I’m sure there are much bigger things in life she can now do with her new found fame. It should be interesting to see what her next move is and how the folks living in Kentucky will benefit from her. Great job Mallory and I hope you take the next steps online for your blog and get a blog hosted on your own domain with your own hosting account.

How well can you see me right now? Well I don’t actually mean “me” but the words I have typed in this blog post. I have some big sections on my blog in the background that is in the color white. If you will look closely at some of these big patches of white, you will probably notice some dirt and debris on your computer screens. It can get aggravating to have too many dirt spots on your screen and you will be tempted to clean these spots off. You have to be careful about using some cleaners, soaps, and chemicals on your desktop or laptop computer screens. There are some very common things out there that will leave permanent damages and marks on your screens.

To prevent any harm to your computer’s monitor, you can use a real screen cleaner that has been specially designed to clean the high-tech screen you have in front of you now. The screen cleaner by 3M is one of the professional products that is available online at Buy.com for a low price of $7.99 and the shipping is completely FREE! Forking out the 8 bucks is a cheap price to keep your laptop, desktop, or LCD monitors clean and spotless. No need to visit the nearest computer store or look for a screen cleaner in a electronics store; when you can order this 3M product online. I wouldn’t bother about wiping away any of the smudges or dirt spots you see now on your screens. Just hold off for a few days and wait for your 3M screen cleaner to arrive and let it take away all the dust and dirt that has collected on your computer or television screens.

Your screen cleaning kit from 3M will include a 6 oz. spray bottle and this should last for a long time. When you get it, you will be able to use it on your desktop and laptop screens; along with any cell phone screens or HDTV screens that you may own. I could put this 3M cleaner to work on a lot of my tech gadgets and this includes the desktop computer screen I am looking at now. Since I have been writing this blog post, every little particle of dirt has caught my attention and it is an eye-soar. I could probably take a little plain water and get rid of most of the dirt on this computer monitor, but I will wait and use a real screen cleaner, so I don’t have to apply any hard pressure. Some of these high-tech screens are sensitive to touch and you can damage them by pressing down too hard to clean them. That’s one more good reason to dish out a little money on a screen cleaner that is on sale. No one should take a chance on a foreign cleaner, when the real screen cleaners cost very little to buy. Be sure to come back and let me know how the 3M screen cleaner worked and which screens in your household did you use it on.

It all started many years ago when Buzzard Massie got the fever for gold. He turned that fever into a great gold association that is still up and running today. It was Buzzard that got the ball rolling for the GPAA or Gold Prospectors Association of America. Things were progressing nicely until the 1990’s; when the untimely death of Buzzard Massie sent things back a bit. Lucky for the GPAA that Buzzard had two sons and two sons willing to take the gold club to the next level.

Tom Massie is the face you can see most often on the Outdoor Channel; which the Massie family owns and operates. Tom will take his wife and kids out on outdoor adventures looking for gold and these shows are still airing today on the Outdoor Channel. Tom gives viewers a chance to see them looking for gold, teaches tips and tricks about finding gold, and will go outside the lines to entertain in other non-gold ways. These gold shows are nothing like the fishing shows you see on TV. You know how the fisherman goes out and will land a nice fish every 5 minutes. These gold shows don’t show a whole lot of gold finding and mostly will talk about the history of the areas they’re currently in. It can be a bit frustrating to those that want to see gold being found, but it’s the best thing gold prospectors have for television viewing and trying to cure their gold fever. The Gold Fever gold shows hosted by Tom Massie usually last an hour and it’s good for beginners to watch. Another gold show comes on the Outdoor Channel and this one last 30 minutes and is basically a program advertising the adventures at Cripple River Mining Camp in Alaska. People can choose to visit Cripple River 6 weeks out of each year. They allow guests to search for gold for the entire month of July and then the first 2 weeks of August. You can select a 1 week visit or multiple weeks if you choose. Each trip ends with a gold draw and the biggest nugget found that week by the workers at Cripple River will get rewarded to the person that draws number 1. These numbers go up depending on the number of guests and the lowest numbers result in the most gold. The gold visitors find on their own, they can keep and take back home with them.

Perry Massie is the other son of Buzzard Massie. He’s the CEO of the Outdoor Channel and participates in a lot of the shows that advertise for the mining camp in Alaska. He seems a bit more tougher than his brother Tom Massie and this is very evident on TV. No one will ever get Steve Irwin’s (Crocodile Hunter) bravery confused with the bravery or work ethic as Tom Massie. Perry is a little different and he’s more of a man’s man; if you know what I mean. Both brothers have did a good job with carrying on the legacy of their father. I’m sure both men are both very wealthy and they still put on the jeans and get outside to get dirty and you have to respect that. I’m not sure if Perry is at each trip for visitors in Alaska, but he appears to show up at a lot of them. If you plan a trip to the Alaska mining camp there is a good chance you will see Perry cleaning some fish or conducting the gold draw.

Buzzard Massie’s final resting place is near the Cripple River mining camp in Alaska. Visitors can visit his grave site and other areas of the massive property these guys own near Nome, Alaska. There are 4 wheelers available to rent and this will help you cover all the ground they own. Gold panning supplies are available for those that want to search the various creeks or just use a high banker on the shore line to search for all the flower gold that the ice leaves each year. I look forward to the day I can make a trip up to Cripple River and spend a week or two with the Massie’s creation in Alaska. It’s been a family tradition for the Massies and don’t be surprised to see Tom’s son or daughters take up the reins, when they get older and continue the family tradition.

Hey, living in Charlottesville doesn’t mean you don’t have access to all the great things that Richmond has to offer.  Sure, Cook & Wiley has their offices in Richmond, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also the leading Charlottesville court reporters.  While you will have to drive out to Richmond to make use of their Richmond video conferencing and Richmond conference rooms, you can have anybody you’re trying to video conference with from Charlottesville that’s in Richmond go there and let them use the great setup that Cook & Wiley offers to all their clients.

Living west of Richmond doesn’t preclude you from enjoying all the great services that Cook & Wiley can offer, so when you’re in need of a court reporter in Charlottesville, don’t forget that Cook & Wiley is here for you.

Nothing fancy for me when it comes to choosing my dream truck. I get more wild with my dream car selections, but a good basic truck is all I need for my dream truck. I think the older models of the Chevrolet Silverado is perfect for me. I don’t have anything against the newer versions of the Silverado, but those made in the 1980’s have a nice look. It’s a rugged look and a truck you could work with or go off road with if you wanted to. It’s getting harder and harder to find the Chevy Silverados from the 80’s that look good and still run good. I have been wanting one of these older model Silverados for a long time and I know I am running out of time, if I don’t buy one in the next couple of years.

It wouldn’t be wise to drive a 1980’s truck across country or for any long distant trips. If I left my home on the east coast and headed for the U.S. west coast, I know I would probably break down around Texas somewhere. I would then have to rely on a Dallas auto repair shop to get my Silverado fixed and back on the road again. It may need more repairs once I got to the west coast or have to stop in at Dallas again on my return trip. Car repairs are normal for those that take long trips, but making these trips in older vehicles is not smart to begin with. If you currently own a Chevrolet Silverado, please tell me the longest trip you made and did you experience any problems? I think travelers would be fine for a long trip in the newer Silverados; it’s the ones from the 1980’s that I would have my doubts about. They are good about not breaking down if you drive them around locally. You may have to get a brake job done every now and then, but the overall running condition would stay good, if you did avoid the long trips in these classic trucks.

Do you like the older Chevy trucks from the 1980’s? Or would you prefer one of the newer model Silverados? I’m happy with a simple truck and one that I wouldn’t worry about putting a few scratches on. I never owned a work truck. I think all men need one and they’re good for hauling stuff that you can’t do with a car. They say if you keep the oil changed in these trucks they will last a lifetime. I will be sure to keep my dream truck up, if I ever get a chance to buy one.

The man with “Popeye” arms who hit 70 home runs in a single season has confessed to using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. We know Popeye got his arms by eating a lot of spinach and Mark McGwire got his by taking steroids. Many want to know why he has chose to confess now and admit his association with steroids. It’s not clear right now why McGwire came out and confessed his sins, but if we have learned anything about baseball players in recent years, you can bet there is some form of greed behind his admittance to taking steroids.

I’m sure this new attention on steroids and Tiger Wood’s being in the news a lot lately, we may finally learn that Tiger Woods was also using steroids and his PGA championships seem a little gray right now. More needs to be done on Tiger Wood’s accomplishments in golf and an investigation would probably reveal that Tiger and others used performance enhancing drugs on the golf course.

Do you agree or disagree with Mark McGwire’s new confession that he used steroids to help him play better and recover from injuries faster; while he was an active MLB player? I haven’t made up my mind yet, but I’m sure his new revelation comes with something he hopes to accomplish or achieve by confessing his faults to the world.

If you’re a baseball fan, are you still mad at the last time these over paid cry babies went on strike? I know many have still not came back to watching baseball; since the last MLB strike took place. Or did you stop watching baseball after we learned half the players were using performance enhancing drugs to put up those amazing statistics? They say this is a soar subject for baseball players cause some of them did not use steroids. I find that funny and these guys are barking up the wrong sympathy tree. It’s the fans that got screwed and they are the ones that have been cheated. For all the guys in baseball that think steroids is a soar subject, our frustrations go back further than that. We have had to do without baseball because we see you guys fighting over millions of dollars and the average working baseball fan will not even make 1 million in their lifetime. Until MLB and the baseball players learn this isn’t about them anymore and it’s about the fans, they will continue to build this path toward destruction.

Major League Baseball is holding on by a thin thread now and unless the playing field levels out soon, baseball will no longer exist in America they way we know it today. The latest news on Mark McGwire will prove that fans won’t be showing up at the ball park this spring. Some fans were given these players the benefit of doubt and now they know for a fact that McGwire was using and this will affect ticket sales across all MLB parks this upcoming season.

Today there are more blogs popping up on the internet than ever before. Some of the main reasons is that they are easy to set up, sometimes free, and create an outlet for personal opinion and content for businesses. The key to growing your blog is through your readership. This means that when someone does find your blog and finds the content interesting are they more likely to bookmark your site, add your RSS feed to their Yahoo MyPage, or just never come back. Understanding various marketing trends that may impact your readers can help you create a niche that will enhance your readership. Since there are still a lot of people that are not aware of how to subscribe to a blog what others way can you keep them informed when there are changes? A great push method is through email.

Since most people on the internet have email why not use that vehicle to keep them up to date on your blog and keep them coming back. There are several companies that offer a way in which to easily publish and manage your RSS feeds through email. The great thing is that most are free to sign up for and can be easily integrated into any blog. We would look to use this to push content out to our customers when we get a new service or some new content that they would be interested. Several of the companies that we use offer you the blogger some great reporting tools to understand how many subscribers you have, who is reading your emails, and much more. They are all Spam compliant as end users must opt-in to receive the emails.

There are a lot of good Christmas movies and this is one of the things I like best about the holiday season. Some movies are new and some are considered classics and been around for years. As a kid I would always watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman every year. As I got a little older I started to like the movie A Christmas Story. I think this is my all time favorite Christmas movie and I love how TNT or TBS will usually show this movie all day long on Christmas Day. I will watch it more than once usually and this movie never gets old. If you have never seen A Christmas Story this is one Christmas movie you should really sit down and watch this year.

There are a lot more Christmas movies that I like to watch each year. It’s a Wonderful Life is one of the classics and this movie has been around for a long time. It seems it and the Miracle on 34th Street have been around for ages and most of our grandparents were watching these movies when they were younger.

It’s almost like a tradition for some families to see a certain Christmas movie each year. Every family has their own favorite movie to watch each year. Since there are so many good Christmas movies, many families have different ones that they will refer to as their traditional Christmas movie.

There are some new movies that people have started to make new traditions with. I know Home Alone is a good Christmas movie and it has 3 or 4 series you can watch. I’m a big Chevy Chase fan and I love all of the Vacation movies. The one Chevy Chase did that is called Christmas Vacation is really one of the better Christmas movies that is out there today. This movie reminds me a lot of my family and how they use to gather for these big family dinners on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We don’t do it that much anymore and I missed those days of where our extended families got together and would share the Christmas spirit. Christmas Vacation was made in 1989, so this is the 20th anniversary to this great Christmas movie. It’s not been around as long as some Christmas movies, but I think it will hold up over the years and be a traditional Christmas movie for some families. I still consider Christmas Vacation one of the newer movies that is out there.

What are some of the Christmas movies you like to watch with your family each year? Is there a specific program that comes on during the holidays that you like to see? I know the Statler Brothers Christmas Special was always a fun thing to watch. I did see the Statler Brothers last year on RFDTV or Rural TV. I’m not sure if it’s coming on this year or not, but if you have Rural TV; then you can check their program listings. Be sure to let me know your favorite Christmas movies and which ones you liked best as a child.

20″ Wheel – Huffy Green Machine

The perfect gift from Santa this year is green and it won’t cost you a lot of green. The Huffy Green Machine at Buy.comis an affordable gift and it will be the bling under the tree this year for some kids. You still have time to get your online purchases delivered for free and before Santa Clause gets here. Let Santa Clause sneak one of these Huffy Green Machines next to your Christmas tree before your children wake up Christmas morning and it will be the one gift they will want to hop on instantly!

I’m an adult and I think I would like to try this ride out for a spin! The current price is less than $100; while it’s on sale and still in stock at Buy.com. You will have a hard time finding a gift that is this cheap and will draw more attention than the Green Huffy Machine. All eyes will be focused on these bright green colors, as your kids wipe away the morning matter in their eyes on Christmas Day. You need a gift that is an attention grabber and it’s best when it’s the gift Santa has brought from the North Pole. I think that front end tire that is 20″ tall could probably travel through the deep snows at the North Pole. This would be a good gift from Santa Clause this year. The kid’s new big wheel comes with:

*Steel Single Tube Frame

*Steel Side Pull Break Lever

*Orange Safety Flag

*Low Profile Molded Seat

*Extra Wide Back Tires

*CPSC Reflectors Included

*Much, Much, Much More…

This is a gift item for kids that are 6 years old and older. That is what the manufacturer suggests on the ages, but my twin nephews will be turning 5 years old on December 15th and I think they would be big enough to ride this Green Big Wheel. At least they would attempt to hop on this bad boy and try to get the thing rolling. They do good with the pedals on their tricycle, so I think they could get the pedals moving on the Green Huffy too.

Our Big Wheels of Yesterday

Remember a big wheel that was similar to this one? These were the types of big wheels we had to ride when we was kids growing up. Things are upgraded now and changed for the better. You can easily see how the Green Huffy Machine is so much better than the Big Wheel of yesterday. If you want a Christmas morning with the big eyes and the non stop smile, be sure you go with the top of the line in Big Wheels. There is no contest that the Green Huffy Machine is at the top of the Big Wheel food chain!
