Sunday in the Park

The nice folks at the CMU Juggle Club Invited us to join them. For what ever reason I did not take pictures of us juggling at CMU.

We did run into some folks working on slack lines over at the Carnegie Library in Oakland. To the left is Apprentice Brimage giving it a shot with one of the folks that were there. Leaning against the tree is his cousin and another Mr. Brimage. He is keeping an eye on the dinosaur statue.

As has become tradition while we are in Oakland we stop at the Chinese Buffet for lunch.



We also brought a set of stilts with us so that folks could get a try at those as well. Here is the group in front of the Stephen Foster statue. Left to right is Mr. Brimage, Miss Brimage and Mr Brimage on the stilts. We decided that Dippy was not much o a threat because he is after all a statue. Moments fter this picture was taken our bus showed up. It was great fun getting Mr Brimage out of the stilts in enough time to get on the bus.

Juggling on your knees

Today someone asked me if juggling on your knees helps you learn how to juggle. A couple of months ago i would have thought that this was not very helpful. Well this is Sergeant Kisielnicki. He doe snot like juggling very much. From time to time when he is having trouble he juggles on his knees and it helps him. So I suppose it can help.

Chicken Knitting

In December our Knitting group has started meeting again. This is Sergeant Kisielnicki working on a scarf. Sergeants Thurman and Wilson were also at our first couple knitting meeting.

It has turned out to be a fun evening. We get to have some chicken and work on our knitting. We are meeting at the Chic Fil A in the Waterfront in Homestead PA. They have been really nice to us and it has been great fun.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.

Juggling Batons

We have been working at making out own juggling batons. And when I say myself and Sergeant Kisielnicki. I am not going to go into the process because it is boring.

Needless to say it has been interesting to us. The Juggling Baton is also called a Flower Stick or Devil stick if any of our readers are into them. Pictured are four of the sticks that we have made recently.

As you can see they are different sizes. this is done to match the size of the person that is using them. This is the main reason that we have started making them outselves. When you buy them in the shop they basic come in one size. This is very hard for someone that is only four feet tall to deal with. If your stick it too long you ed up hitting yourself with it. And this is just no fun when youare juggling.

If I think about it I will get some video of people using their stick. Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.

Type 2010 Apparatus Bag

This is Sergeant Thurman with her new Appatatus Bag. It is an ungraded version of the experimental bag that we made last year. This one has had all the kinks worked out and fits a shorted person better that last years bag.
