working for sam

Today we went over to the Buckmasters. Sam had this old corn knife that he found and wanted to make a bowie knife out of it. well, he didn't know how to cut it out untill today. I offered to cut it out with my dremmel tool,for a price though. We talked and came to a conclusion, me do the work for one of his old traps he'd also found. here are some pictures of my trap and the knife.

last night, I asked dad if Andrew and I could burn some of our wood scraps from making guns. He said yes, and andrew and I set to work. Dad said that we wouldn't get the whole box burnt. (it was a good sized box) but after a while, we had burnt the whole box. Then I had an idea, so I went and asked mom, 'could andrew and I sleep outside in our tent, and then get up in the morning and cook some pancakes? she said yes, and dad came out and we went to sleep. well, it got down to about 27 degrees, our dousing water for our fire had a crust of ice on it when we got up. Even though our pancakes did NOT work, we enjoyed a few hot cups of hot cocoa, which did work wonderfully. another thing that worked good, was hard boiled eggs. we got two eggs, two big cans, some water, some salt, and we had hard boiled eggs!( see picture)

At our new church, we made friends with six other boys, and I outfitted us all with one m16, webley model, deringer, knife, and a p1 grenade! 48 in all! I used our new scroll saw we got a few days ago.

Honda 80

you mightve read Annies post about our trip to Uncle Johns place, if not, he had 2 dirt bikes, a honda 50 and a honda 80. the honda 50 was smaller and only had 3 gears, and was automatic (no clutch). The honda 80 was a the bigger bike and had 6 gears but was manual ( had a clutch). Being old enough to ride the honda 80, I didnt ride the honda 50 mutch. The cool part of being old enough, was that I was really the only one that wanted to ride it, therefore, I rode it for a few hours, it was FUN!!! When I was learning the controls, ( having no previous experience w/ dirt bikes) I kept forgeting the clutch and was always killing it, so I got the nickname 'clutch'. Boy once you got that thing in 6th gear, whoosh!!! I had a awsome time and hope to do it again.

Helgeth

long time no see!

Hey im back! [pause for cheering] thanks to all those fathfull bloggers that kept checking my blog even though it seemed deserted! i now hope to update every weekend! i hope that dosnt sound dumb!? well i hope to include a weekly summary of all that i did in my week. and maybe some pictures but that will vary. i think i win the award of not posting for the longest while! i think its been... 33 whole days of no posting! if you can break the record i will.... i dont know, but say if you did!

[new post]

history book study

this post is about a advanced study of history books and their readers. NOTE: no persons were harmed in this advanced study! now this person, we will call him bill, [an average Joe off of the street] was picked with great care. now observe, in fig. 1 we have bill struggling through this dry boring Landmark. now we move on to fig. 2 and we see a much happier, satisfied reader enjoying a G.A.Henty book. now i personally [and so does bill] think that G.A.Hentys are far above Landmarks, although i still would prefer to read no history books, but you know what a great anonymous guy said, 'history sharpens the great sword of knowledge'. i hope that wasnt a bunch of dumbnes, but i needed a posting subject.
