Olympic themed team-building project a huge success
Listen to Audio Fresh air, independent challenges and aloha spirit make the competition full of fun With the world watching as international teams compete in Paris this summer, sports-themed team-building activities are receiving more attention than ever. I spoke with Darlynne Menkin, owner of Out of the Ordinary Group & Team Adventures in San Diego, about team building and how to conduct activities that require communication and strategy in a fun way. She explains the benefits of competitive events, “It’s great that people can get outside. A lot of people sit in offices staring at their computers. Wearing shorts and sneakers really relaxes people and takes them out of the office vibe.

Looking for Project F-100
Thinking back over my life, I find myself reminiscing about the times I spent in my garage with friends tinkering with a 1971 Datsun 510 and a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle. Both of those cars are long gone due to life events, and I longed to do it again… or twice. So I bought a 2000 Yamaha Road Star and a 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger. The original F-100 has a 360 cubic inch engine under the hood and is a long bed 4×2 configuration. The F-100 is my daily vehicle while I work on the Road Star…Once the Road Star is finished, I will begin a serious frame-off Resto Mod on the F-100 that will feature a raised bed and a pulley system to load the Road Star into the bed. I've never taken on a project before that required more skills than a "install" modification. I had to learn new skills, such as welding and body work, as well as…
