We would love to set up a bicycle-powered something to turn an indoor workout into something useful. Maybe generate enough electricity to charge our iPods? If we had to pedal in order to keep the TV on, now that would be some incentive.
Or we could grind up some wood chips...
Giant thumb war:
My first look at 3-D printers, pretty cool:
Metro Card Man and his robot sidekick:
Little car race - it lasted 75 minutes and actually kept me entertained the whole time.
Team FUBAR - they were not fast but after an hour they were not last! Other cars had mechanical issues and some were taken out by a major rainstorm toward the end of the race, but these guys kept on truckin'

Thank you guys, that was great!
Afterwards we wandered down Roosevelt Avenue debating which Hispanic restaurant to try, and we ended up in a Peruvian place in honor of our friends who are currently in South America paddling the Amazon River. It was an interesting menu, and an even more interesting seafood stew. Lots of fish (or meat, in the case of my beef stew) and rice, not a lot of vegetables. But the food was flavorful:
Always an adventure in New York City!
