Kids Rollerblades

My son and daughter racked up enough Special Points to get themselves brand-new rollerblades. Their old skates were kid-sized, so this was their chance to step it up.

I laid down one rule: no skating in the house with that black rubber brake on, because I wasn’t about to scrub skid marks off the floor. They asked me to take off the brake, which I did, but it left a big gap between the bolts. I measured the space, whipped up a spacer with our printer, and in no time—less than four minutes—they were zooming away, brake-free and ready to go.
