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

meet helgeth, my new female praying mantis [i think]. She's a whoper! 4 inches from head to wingtip! The longest praying mantis that i've ever seen or had. I plan to get some pictures of her eating, which is very interesting. well gtg.

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.

the tracks

one day a while ago, I found two toads, so I called Andrew out and we raced toads. we had two tracks, a short 3 ft dash, and a 8 ft dash. my toad Mortimer was good at the short dash, and andrews toad, Pelops, was good at the long dash. sorry I didnt get in pictures of toads in action, we got the camera just as we were done. but I will have more pictures coming, be cause I have a FAT FAST racer, Jake McToad.

toad in the wall

one morning I was walking by the garage and I happened to look down and there right in the wall was a toad! I ran and got the camera and snapped some pictures. after the pictures I nudged the toad to make sure it wasnt stuck, and it popped back into the garage.

kms Bismarck

The bismarck was the biggest baddest battleship that the axis had. In the battle of the Denmark Sraight, the battlecruser Hood and the Prince of Whales and other battle ships in search of the Bismarck, found the Bismarck and opened fire, shortly after, one of five shells fired at the Hood found its way to a opening in the Hoods armor and blew up the Hoods ammunition magazine. The Hood split in two and sank. After a few days, the brittish lead an attack against the Bismarck with every brittish fighting boat they had. Later on, the Bismarck ended up being sunk. Here is my feable attempt at making the Bismarck out of legos.
