well today the sun is out. it has been raining the last couple of days. i am hoping that this week we will be able to go to the shooting range. we also need to mow the grass (you know the grass needs to be mowed when you actuly had trouble finding a white soccer ball in your yard). yesterday we went to church, i love going to church. our church took in 11 to 15 new members. i'm not sure how many new members there are this year but last year God blessed our church with 200 or so new members! and my brother and I singed up to help with VBS (vacation bible school). i am excited becuase last year at VBS we had around 400 kids and we think there will be just as many this year, if not more. my brother also got a vintage Cort Les Paul guitar at a yardsale yesterday for $50, so now we both have guitars. also please pray for my mom. she is having a lot of swelling in her left foot, and we are not sure why. she also has fibromyalgia so please pray for that also.

[jengoesup]

Aww he's adorable :D

Oh by the way, I've never listened to Jump 5! But now I'm kind of curious...so which in your opinion is their best album? And what kind of genre are they? (I know, kind of sad, I don't know who they are. ohhhh well :)). I just may pick it up :yep:

Hope you're having a good day! See ya 'round ;)

[jjvacc]

Hey Chris. Welcome to the J section. I really don't have any blogs to post in, so I thought I'd drop by here. Anyhow, how you been lately? Anything exciting happenin'?

-chester

[jengoesup]

There's always my journal! *wink wink* ;)

[jjvacc]

But see, in your jer-nal you actually talk about stuff, and I feel I have to keep up with it, so it's hard for me just to jump in. lol. Well, maybe I'll give it a shot sometime. :p

-chester

[jengoesup]

Lol, jump in, jump in, anytime! Lol.

~Jen

In my opinion i think their first album is the best. although i like all of their albums pretty much the same. As to what genre they are I think it is power-pop. i like Jump5 partly because the members of Jump5 they are my age.

[jengoesup]

Hmm ok, thanks for the suggestions.

[jump5fan]

finley was able to mow the grass yesterday. my brother and I took truns mowing our yard and the area along our part of the street. I also helped my dad install a lightbar on the Voyager minivan. i think i just found a new hobby, warhunting (WiFi hunting). I am excited becuase on Father's Day weekend we will be going to Air Fest 2006 at Willow Grove Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. We went last year and it was great. we saw the Blue Angles which was so cool, they even had the C-130 there too! they did the short takeoff demonstertion using the rockets which was really cool. they also did a flyby with the C-130, it was done about 100 to 150 feet above the ground at around 300mph! I even got to shake hands with one of the pilots! we also saw the Shockwave jet truck. this year they will be having the United States Airforce Thunderbirds, so i am excited.

[jump5fan]

So far today it is windy and a little on the cold side, oh well, it will probably warm up as the day goes. tomorrow is the Pocono 500 and today is qualifying and practicing. we won't be going to the race (our dad is working tomorrow) but we will be about to hear the cars from our house which i think is pretty neat. two years ago when they did the flyover the jets also flew right by our house, two A-10 Thunderbolts (warthogs). also yesterday we saw a whitetail fawn and it's mother! my family loves deer, in fact we a metal drum with a bowl on top at the edge of our yard that we put horse feed in. one time in the fall i think we saw 6 or 7 buck (some were big with 8-point racks) at one time, eating at the edge of our yard. that was so cool.

[jump5fan]

Hey, could someone post one of those random question things? I'm kind of bored

[jump5fan]

not much happened yesterday, our dad was working so we here not able to go to church :(. Denny Hamlin won the Pocono 500 (i was hoping that Jeff Gordon would win) which is cool becuase he is a rookie who has never raced there before, i love NASCAR. one of my favorite races so far (after pocono) has been bristol, that was a action packed race. we were outside when they did the fly over, i'm not sure that plane they used but it was big. we think that the plane they used is a refueling plane of some type. i was outside alot yesterday and i forgot sunscreen so now my shoulders are kind of sunburned. i also helped my dad finish installing the lightbar on the minivan. we tried it out as it was getting dark and it is pretty bright. the minivan stands out even more now. it has three antennas , two on top for UHF and VHF and the third is a antenna called a Outbacker that my dad uses for amateur radio. The lightber is Code 3 MX7000 full-size lightber.

[jump5fan]

yesterday we started planting flowers to put on our deck we are going to do more planting today. our mom really likes flowers but she has fibromyalgia and has to stop every once in awhile to rest, so my brother and sister and I are helping. i'm also starting to do some work on our conversion van. i want to refinish some of the wood from the inteirer cuase the current finish is flaking off. i plan on taking pictures as i go and i will post a few sometime.

[jump5fan]

well, good morning everyone. I don't really have anything to post about at the moment, so i think i will post some pictures of drawings that i have made recently. I draw mostly cars, trucks, flames (hot rod style), but i also like to draw stuff like flowers and trees sometimes. feel free to let me know what you think about the drawings.

[sunsurfer]

[jump5fan]

hi j5 what's your fave food? colour?
have you ever ridden in an ambulence?
do you have ADD?

my favorite food is pizza and my favorite color is green. i did ride in an ambulence once, because our van broke down (our dad is a paramedic and knew the guys who were on duty at the time). i do have ADD.

[Ordinary Sarah]

Your pictures are awesome. :yep:

[jump5fan]

I am excited becuase this week is VBS at our church! last year we had over 400 kids and we think there will be the seam if not more this year. my brother and i are helping out with the outside games and stuff. please pray that my brother and i set good examples for all the kids that see us. also pray for me because i am normly a little on the shy side, so i guess pray that i can get over that. also pray for our dad because he is driving us down to church almost every day this week and it is a 45 minet drive to church. i will try to post some pictures soon

[jump5fan]

yesterday was the last day of VBS (Vacation Bible School) at our church. my brother and i helped with the outside games and stuff. we love helping with VBS. i was also one of the photaghufers for vbs (they were looking for someone to take pictures of the kids and stuff). i think that in the space of 5 days i took between 400 and 500 pictures. most of the time i was outside in the sun and i got sunburned. now when i get sunburned my neck gets burned the most, but this time it wasn't bad (i am thinking that it is becuase i have long hair:lol: ) but my arms got sunburned. it is starting to get better but my arms still hurt a little. on thersday i peractised running a few beads with my dad's welder. i have not a very good welder at all, but i have only used a welder 4 or 5 times before (this was my first time using a stick welder). i pulled the egzast systuom off our dodge conversion van and it has holes rusted in it and i am hoping to build a new one myself. i am hoping to put two glasspack mufflers on the van. we also got our pool up and running this week which is cool, although i really don't like going in the pool unless it is iedly 75 dagerys or warmer. well got to go, but i will try to post some pictures from VBS a little later

[jump5fan]

it has been raining alot receltly, i think we got 2" of rain so far. at church yesterday our pastor anounced that there were roughly 420 kids who came to VBS and there were around 130 helped out. they are already planing for VBS next year.

i think my favorite driver is Jeff Gordon, along with the other Hendrick cars. i also am a fan of Dale Jarrett, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Greg Biffle, and Mark Martin. as for Toyota putting cars in NASCAR, i wish they wouldn't.

[jump5fan]

boy, wendsday was a eciting day! our dad had to go to the hospile by ambulance because he got hurt while using a saw. what happened was he was cut a peice of wood for something at the one ambulance sation that he runs at, when the saw grabbed the wood and kicked in back and hit him. it hit him really hard (he couldn't chach his breath for a few seonds). when he was able to chatch his breath we got ice on it and he had us get the ogxegine cylinder from his van. luckly a ambulanic crew that our dad knows was only 10 menits or so away. he is fine though, he just has a pretty bad bruse. he has really lucky, it could have been alot worse. we also got roughly 13'' of rain this week, and some of the places around here flooded. it did not flood right where we live but we were watching the local news and there was alot of flooding up in Wilkes-Barre. it rained so hard that severel times i had to go out and pump some of the water out of our pool. we also had a small whirlpool at the end of our driveway were a 12'' drain pipe goes under the road.

[Iceman-bass14]

yesterday i got my furnace and blower out and melted 15 to 20 soda can. it
took me a while to get the furnace burning hot enough to melt the cans
because we got a alot of rain recently and i had trouble finding wood that
was dry enough to burn. i'm really into melting and casting metal and my
favorite metal to work with is aluminum. my current furnace is only hot
enough to melt aluminum, i can't get it to make enough heat to melt steel or
iron (athough i can get small pieces of steel to glow bright red). my brother
and i helped our mom plant more flowers for on our deck. i ended up getting
sunburned. i also got a 2GB Iomega Jaz drive for my computer, so i installed
that. i got the Jaz drive to hold all the pictures on my computer, i have
around 4GB of pictures on my computer and i was running out of room on my
hard drive. we also fired off the Big Bang Cannon that we have. i am hoping
that we will be able to go to the shooting range sometime soon so i can use
my flintlock rifle. well i guess that's all for now.

[jump5fan]

yesterday was fun, our neighbers. down the road set off a ton of fireworks and we were able to watch. we don't do anything with fireworks because they are dangerus and they are illegel, but still i wish we could. I love the rockets and stuff but not firecrackers. we did fire off our Big Band Cannon for a while, and we made a soda bottle rocket launcher. we also made a air powered cannon that has a 8 to 10 foot barrel and fires dead AA batteries. it can hit a target that is about 70 feet away. the barrel is a piece grey electricel conduit and it was powered by our dad's air conpereser. i will try to post pictures of it later (when it stops raining).

[Iceman-bass14]

wow sounds like you had some fun!We didnt have any fireworks this year...and our big night is usually New Years but it wouldve been nice...

[Iceman-bass14]

......lol.....

[jump5fan]

Yesterday was fun because our youth group went bowling. We played two games and i got 122 for the first game and i think 148 for the seoned game. Scott (our youth pastor) drove me and three of other kids back to church in his car when we were done. It was fun riding in a car for once becuase my family has three vans. One of the adult leaders (Del) was also driving some kids back and we got behind them at a traffic light. Everybody in Del's car started waving at us and then to be funny Scott hit the gas then the brake over and over so his car would lurch foword a little bit at a time. Then once we got on the highway Scott pulled his car up next to Del's car and we took pictures of Del and everyone in his car, it was so funny. It was great, well got to go. See ya'll later!

[jump5fan]

the other day i started repair work on our conversion van. most of the van is rust free but i am finding more and more small rust spots. it does have some spots were it is rusted so much that when you tap the spot with a hammer, the metal just crumbles . i have already started fixing the one hole, i cut out most of the rusty metal by hand. when i am done i'm going to weld pieces of metal in to fix it. other than that not much is happening around here. see ya'll

[jump5fan]

The other day my brother, me and our dad changed the rear brakes on the one van. The next day our dad went to the store and when he got back the brakes smelled really bad. It turns out that when we put the brake shoes on we put the one set on the wrong way, and they overheated. so we fixed that by getting new brake shoes. Last night on the way home from youthgroup we drove throu the most amazing storm that i have ever seen. Very heavy rainfall and for the most part continus lightning. the lightning was the most amazing part, it was so bright and there was so much of it that if you had to you could drive with your headlights off and still see the road. God is so awesome

[jengoesup]

Your experience reminds me of Martin Luther's :yep: He came to the same realization.

That does sound pretty awesome :whoa:

[jump5fan]

Well, we don't have any running water right now becuase our well pump stopped working. I guess well pumps normuly last 5 to 10 years or so and our pump is the original pump that was put in when our house was built, so it has been working for 22 years. We have botteled water for drinking, but we can't use the dishwasher and stuff. Well got to go, see y'all.

[Iceman-bass14]

WHOA!Does that mean no showers!?!?! :o oh crap!lol sounds like your busy.thanks for the updates.cya later,

Iceman

[jump5fan]

We replaced the pump so now we have water again. we found that our well is 140' deep. we have not done any dishes for the last two days, so i'm going to be busy today.it is suppost to get up to 96F today and with the humidity the heat index will porabuly be between 95F and 100F for our area and 100F to 105F down in the Lehigh Valley. got to go, see ya'll

[Iceman-bass14]

wow thats a long ways down....sounds like its pretty hot man.its not even that bad in Ga!Got up to about...idk 92 today.

[jump5fan]

Our youthgroup met at a park yesterday insted of at church. It wasn't very hot and there was a light wind which was nice. We played some games for a while then we did some singing, it was really cool. We were going to launch a model rocket but it got a little too windy so we didn't. Our dad picked up a bunch of StarTrek movies while we were at YF (youthgroup).

[jump5fan]

well, there isn't much happening at home right now. today is the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono so we will be lisening to the race over the radio. i am thinking about trying to building a steam cannon. we saw a episode of Mythbusters were they built one. still have not been doing any work on the van because of ether chores or because of it raining. we have a garage but there isn't enough room to park a full-size high top conversion van in it, let alone do any sort of repair work on it. it is sitting in front of the garage right rom with a tarp over it. i am starting to learn to skateboard, which is kind of hard but it is also fun. the problom is that we don't have a whole lot of space to skateboard. we live on a cold-a-sac so we have very little traffic with is very nice, but there is gravel in some spots so we will have to sweep it ourselves or wait for the township to come through with a street sweeper. i was burning paper the other day so i connected the blower that i built for my furnace to the burning barrel. it kicked the temperature from between 600 and 800 degrees up to around 1300 or 1400 degrees fahrenheit (it burned a couple logs till there was almost nothing left). it got hot enouth to melt some soda cans. i also found that if you throw in a short piece of old garden hose in with the burning wood you will very quick have a huge amount of black smoke and if you have a blower running you will get purple flames. i will perably need to get a haircut pretty soon, it is getting pretty long. got to go, see ya'll

[jengoesup]

Purple flames! Awesomee.

(By the way, it's cul-de-sac ;))

[jump5fan]

well on Monday the motor for the air conditioner stopped working so now we are without air conditioning. please pray for our mom because she dones't do to well in heat. yesterday it got up to i think 85 degrees outside, but it also got up to 80 degrees inside. it felt better outside but our mom had to stay inside because she kept getting bitten by insects. we have fans running to help keep air moving, but it is still really uncomfortable. our neighbors across the street hired a couple guys to reshingle their roof, which was one of the most exciting things that has happened on our part of the street in a little while. right now i am trying to get a tan, but i have to be careful that i don't over do it because i can get sunburned pretty easly. i submited my first guitar tab the other day (it has not been posted on the website yet). the tab is for the chourus of the song "Dance with me" by Jump5. i am excited becuase about a month from now there will be a monster truck show the Westend Fair (the fair that we go to). we usully go to one of the demo derbys that they have , but the monster trucks are so much cooler. last time we went (also the first time they had monster trucks at the fair) they had BigFoot. last year before the show we were able to ride in the back of a monster truck. they were giving rides around the arena for $6, it was really really cool! well got to go, see ya'll

[jump5fan]

well we got the air conditioner working, we replaced the motor. we also got a one of those air conditioners that goes in a window to help with cooling the house. i did little more work on the van. i cut some more rusted metal off from by the one side door. my hair is getting pretty long, my bangs are almost as long as my nose:D .

[rocker_chick]

I have seen you around so i thought i might stop by and say hi...uhh..so hi

[Iceman-bass14]

Sup man long time no post!Hows it goin w/you?Things are going good w/me.Just made $30 so its time to buy some cds!

[jump5fan]

we are leaving for church very soon so i have to make this update kind of quick. my sister had a dentist apiontment the other day and my brother and I stayed out in the van. i love being in the van when it is storming. we started to hear thunder and soon after that it started to rain. i think i'm becoming a exspert at storms and weather (or at least i think so). there was a lot of lightning, there were a few bolts that sounded like a rifle shoot (that very very loud cracking sound). i have software that can take weather sattelite signals and decode them and then display the sattelite image, i should get that software going agein. my eyesight is starting to bother me just a little, i am probuly going to have to have my eyes examened sometime soon. well I need to go finish getting ready to go to church. it is a 45 minute drive down to church and then we will probuly be down in the valley for a hour or two going to walmart and visting our grandfather for a short time, so we perabuly wont be getting home till eary to mid afternoon. i'm into WiFi so mayby i will try to post some more while on the road, or at least while we are stopping somewere. well got to go, see ya'll

[jump5fan]

We went to church yesterday, I love going to church. Our dad is starting to walk around the dovelepmint for exersize and my brother and sister and I are going too, but my brother and sister and I are riding our bikes. We are going to try to walk/ride everyday, unless it is raining or our dad has to work late or something. The bike that I am using I actully found along the side of the road near our home. We brought it home and I cleaned it and it was in very good shape, so now it is my main bike (I think it is a roadmaster). I also have a NEXT Brakepoint bike that broke, so I took the suspeshion fork off of it and I put it on the other bike. So now I have a 10-speed roadmaster (with no rear brakes) with a suspenshion fork. I also have a older road bike, a 10-speed Schwinn World Sport. I'm not using it right now because I was ridding it and I went to shift gears and the rear derailer somehow jammed with the chain, and the derailer ended up getting twisted and it broke. Other than that, there isn't a whole lot going on at the moment. Our naighbers up the street are selling a Ford Bronco II that I am interested in, so I am hopeing to go look at it later and find out how many miles it has and stuff like that. Well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

i luv bikeriding. it's one of my fave sports

[jump5fan]

[jump5fan]

Yesterday was pertty hot, it got to 90F in the shade and 98F in the sun and it was really humid. When it is this hot thunderstorms can form very quicky and sterangthen quicky too. We helped our mom water the flowers and we vacumed out the pool. I am starting to get just sightly tan which is cool but i have to be careful because i can get sunburned pretty easly. It is supposted to be hot agian today. We won't be going to youth group today because our dad has to work tonight. Well got to go, see ya'll later.

[J_freek]

i wish i had a pool to clean.

[jump5fan]

have fun. i luv going to the dentist.

[jump5fan]

Well the dentist appontmints went ok. I am getting a set of rear derailers for my road bike so hopefully I will be able to ride it again. I found out that it was made in 1981, which I guess makes it a vintage bicycle. We didn't go for a walk for the last couple of days because our dad had to work two nights in a row and last night we got home at 11:00pm. It was so hot the last couple of days that the water in our pool reached 80F, which is nice. Well got to go, see ya'll

[jump5fan]

We almost didn't go to church because our dad had to work half of a night shift, the guy who was going to be coming in to releave him called off sick. We were able to go to the 10:45 service (we normauly go to the 9:15 service), Pastor Jim gave a very good message about sin and how when we sin it greivs the heart of God. I bought two derailers for my road bike on Ebay. I saw one of my favorite cars yesterday, a Porsche 550 Spyder. The Porsche 550 Spyder is a road legal race car that Porsche made in the 1950s. Even though it had 1.5 litre, air-cooled flat-4 engine that made 110hp, it was so light that it's performance was just as good (and sometimes better) as Ferrari and Jaguar models that had bigger engines. Well got to go, see ya'll

[Iceman-bass14]

I jsut got my wisdom teeth taken out the other day see? :D man your a busy guy.i wish i was that busy.

[J_freek]

[jump5fan]

On Sunday we bought two sacks of corn on the cob to freeze. What we do is first peal the corn, then we remove as much of the stringy stuff that we can. Then we cook the corn by boiling it for five of six minutes and then we drain the corn and rinse it (to cool it and to keep it from cooking anymore). Then we cut the corn off the cob and freeze it in ziplock bags. It takes a little while but it tastes great, even after you freeze it. We did all that yesterday. Other than that there isn't very much going on right now. Well got to go, See ya'll.

[Iceman-bass14]

know, hey? all we do is chill on here, and he gets to do all kinds of cool things!! are you very proud of having your wisdom teeth pulled?idk.....now i have no wisdom to do right so idk.....also it makes my face all puffy for now......its ok i gues......all the girls feel sry for me so in that aspect its awesomeness :D

[Iceman-bass14]

[J_freek]

haha. i know what they are prolly thinking.

how long does the swelling last? when i got my eye teeth pulled, i only had swelling for a day or two.

[Iceman-bass14]

it depends the doctor said.....my friend Kara had hers out like a week before me and her swelling was down in a couple days.Apparentely it was different w/me.....i just wish it would go away.Iam contstantly drugged up lately which is kinda funny.....when we went to the Jonah33 concert me and my friends i couldnt take a drink of water w/out spilling it.it was hilarious!they also said i make the best jokes when im "stoned".My new nickname is Stoner lol.its pretty funny.

[J_freek]

[jump5fan]

Well not much going on right now. I can't do much work on the van right now because we don't have any metal that I can use, that and my dad dosn't want me to use the welder when he isn't home. I want to get the van to the point where we can drive it again. I love cars, and trucks :yep: . I want to get a MG Midget sometime (hopefully soon). My mom gave me a haircut yesterday, she says that look 3 or 4 years older now lol :lol: . Well got to go, see ya'll.

[sunsurfer]

aren't you like 18 or something?

[jump5fan]

aren't you like 18 or something?

yes i am

[jump5fan]

Well our front door broke, you can still open and close it but it is hard. It is a sliding glass door and it gets so much use that the wheels on the bottom of the door aren't rolling smoovly. We replaced the wheels once or twice before but this time when the wheels stopped working they messed up the track that the door rolls along, the track has actauly been filed down so much that the top edge is flat. So we will probuly be going to Home Depot sometime today. Well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

we used to have a sliding glass door, but we didn't do much with it. expect i had to clean all the grub out. *gags*

hope you have fun at the store. it makes me....bored.

[jump5fan]

here are some random pictures that i took (i was bored).
picture 1- light shining throu a glass jar and on to our dishwasher

[jump5fan]

Nice man and thats a good drawing!
thank you:) it takes me a while to draw something like that.

[jump5fan]

yesterday we went to church and then we stopped to vist our grandfather for a little while. then we went to walmart and a few other places before heading home. when we are heading home for church if we see any yard sales (or garage sales) we sometimes stop and check it out. at the one yard sale that we stopped at i almost bought a pocket bike motorcycle for $20. i changed my mind about getting it because they aren't all that safe. we fixed the front door, our dad got out his oxy-acetlyle torch and fixed the fart of the door that broke. the door then opened and closed but it was very hard to open it more then a foot because the top of the door was rubbing the door frame. so our dad cut a little bit of wood off the top of the door, now it rolls easly.

[J_freek]

hmmm, wish i had that much excitement to announouce. so, i'll just shut up. ;)

[sunsurfer]

me too.

[jump5fan]

it rained last night. we haven't had any rain for a while and everything was getting pretty dry. a while back i built a trebuchet in our yard but after a while i had to take it down because it was in the way. i'm probuly going to build another one sometime soon. well got to go, see ya'll

[jengoesup]

Oh sweet, my friend built a trebuchet once...it launches potatoes :D

[Iceman-bass14]

Oh sweet, my friend built a trebuchet once...it launches potatoes :D:rofl:

[jump5fan]

i have pictures of it somewere :shifty: , but i don't remember if we use a film or digital camera. at one time we were taking all of our pictures with a film camera, then we switched to a digitle camera so i will have to look

[jump5fan]

Oh sweet, my friend built a trebuchet once...it launches potatoes :D

how big was it?

[J_freek]

what is a trebuchet?

ya, i know. i'm just....special.

[Iceman-bass14]

apparentely im special also then.....but just the fact that it shot potatos is funny.:lol: also if it is classified as a potato gun my friend and i made one when we were like 12 out of PVC pipe and shot tennis balls out of it.It was awesome!

[J_freek]

being special is fun. and potatoe spewing machines sound gr8

[jengoesup]

how big was it?
Hmm I don't remember, to be honest. I'm not ever sure I actually saw it, but he did describe it to me. Or maybe...hmm...*racks brain* oh yes, it was only a few feet long. In that case, it most likely did not shoot potatoes. But this kid makes other things that shoot potatoes. Heh.

A trebuchet looks like this:
http://www.castlewales.com/trebucht.jpg
It is a type of catapault, a siege machine from the medieval days of yore. See the big lump at the bottom? That is a counterweight. At the very tippy top is where you put what you want to launch. Here is another picture, a technical drawing:
http://www.tasigh.org/ingenium/pics/smtreb.gif

The upper left shows what a trebuchet might look like if it were loaded. The counterweight is up in the air and the thing you want to launch is on the other end. The counterweight is being held in place by a bar, or maybe rope: something that keeps it from falling. You take away that thing, the counterweight goes down, the object you want to hurl flies. Weeee. :)

[J_freek]

geez that's intense!! but it's neat looking.

[tl_guitarnut]

when I look at that all I can think of is the middle ages

[J_freek]

same thing i thought of.

[Iceman-bass14]

As soon as i saw that i knew what it was.Same things they used on LOTR Return of the King.But that is awesomeness man!

[jump5fan]

my trebuchet was about half as big as the one in the picture, or maybe a little smaller.

[jump5fan]

last night we watched a thing on tv about muscle cars which was really cool. i was looking at the engine sizes of some of the cars and some of the cars have engine sizes like 350, 396, 427 but noticed that the one car had a 308 engine. now what i think is so about this is our Dodge conversion van has a 318 engine, which i guess means that it has a more powerful engine than some muscle cars.:D . our neighbors across the street have there grandkids visting for a couple days and we all went for a short bike ride yesterday which was fun.

[sunsurfer]

sweet. i still don't hardly know anything, but lately i've been pretty interested in car mechanicalyish thingymabob typish things.

[Iceman-bass14]

sounds awesome man!But yeah most big vans have big engines.Like my church has 2 15 passenger vans (Fords) and the engines in em are the same type as the big v8's they put in Mustangs.Just some food for thought ;).

[J_freek]

i'm unable to digest that.

[Iceman-bass14]

that sounds wrong J......(you freek ;))

[J_freek]

then don't think like that, iceman.

i know i'm freeky. you're just jealous

[Iceman-bass14]

mabbe....

[jump5fan]

well yesterday was exciting, in a bad way. my brother and i were at youth group throwing a football with some of the other kids. my brother run to get the ball which had been dropped, but one of the other kids was running to get it also. to make a long story short my brother hit his forhead on the other kids knee and ended up having to go to the hospitel to get stiches (9 stiches).

[Iceman-bass14]

ouch!

[J_freek]

football is evil

[jump5fan]

football is evil

it is not a evil sport, just a very rough sport. i'm not really into football that much, but i do like to watch the superbowl.

[J_freek]

i've never understood the concept. i've had it explained several times, just confused me more

anyway, what is new with u, jump5fan?

[jump5fan]

not much, i can't wear my glasses right now because part of the frame is about to brake. i can see without them, but everything is somewhat blurry.

[Iceman-bass14]

i've never understood the concept. i've had it explained several times, just confused me more

anyway, what is new with u, jump5fan?You sound like most girls :lol: *sigh* women.;)

not much, i can't wear my glasses right now because part of the frame is about to brake. i can see without them, but everything is somewhat blurry.Dude that sticks.My mom is legally blind w/out her glasses or contacts.Same w/my older bro and sis.Me i just need em for reading.

[jump5fan]

My dad fixed my glasses for me before we went to bed last night. even with my glasses everthing is still blury. i have been thinking about contact lens, i think i look cooler without my glasses (or maybe not, i don't know). I what to get a pair of perscerition sunglasses (the stylish kind) the place were we looked didn't have any. the person that we talked to said that they do make perscerption sunglasses but because the the lens of the kind i'm thinking of are curved they can only make them up to a certen perscerition. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

i have trouble bringing anything close to my eye, so i'm sticking to glasses for now. i think i look better in em.

and iceman, the only sport i really understand is hockey. i'm a wiz at that. oh, and i understand baseball some, also.

[Iceman-bass14]

and iceman, the only sport i really understand is hockey. i'm a wiz at that. oh, and i understand baseball some, also.I live in Ga so that tells you how much i know about hockey :yep: i love watching football and basketball but love playing baseball and basketball.

[jump5fan]

Well my glasses broke again. My dad had fixed them by soidering them, they wern't as strong as we thought. This will be a pain because we will be going to church tomorow and I perabuly won't be able to see the words for the songs. We have a big retractabul screen and projecter at church and the words for the song are on the screen. I know the words to most of the songs that we sing so it shouldn't be too bad. It looks like it will perabuly rain tonight and Sunday, which is good because we need the rain. The derailers that I bought on Ebay came yesterday so I need to install one of them (i got two) on my road bike. Well got to go, see ya'll

[jump5fan]

We went to church yesterday and I did have some trouble seeing the screen but it wasn't too bad. After church we stopped to vist our grandfather for a little while, stopped at a couple yardsales, then we went home. We also went to walmart to have my glasses fixed, they replaced the frames. We took our Caravan when we went to walmart because we had not driven it for a while. Our dad started the engine and right away steam started coming form the exhaust pipe but it stopped after a munite or two. This van has no radio or power windows and has I think 171,000 miles on it and the gas gauge doesn't work, but other than that it is a nice van. I am excited because the West End Fair starts next week and they will be having a monster truck show. Well got to go, see ya'll.

[sunsurfer]

I wish I could go to yardsales more often.

[Iceman-bass14]

sup again man?be busy over the weekend so no post :-P

[jump5fan]

well yesterday was exciting. our dad came home form work and told us to get in the minivan. he said that he saw a car that was stopped along the road, and he thought that the other guy was looking at a deer. so our dad stopped and there was a dead deer along the road and there was a blackbear not to far off in the woods. we parked in a dead end street and watched it for a while. it was getting so dark that we could not see it anymore so we were about to start heading home when the bear walked up to the one house andstarted going though the garbage cans. the family that lives at this house have a dog and it was barking the hole time and the bear didn't seam to mind. we were parked in the street blocking the driveway when two cars came down the street. from the moment i saw the headlights of the two cars i knew that it was the family that lives there (i can tall what most cars and trucks are just by the headlights). we backed up out of their way and they pulled in and we told them that there was a bear mabey 50 feet away in the woods so the mother of the family turned their truck around and pointed their headlights at it too and we all watched it walk off. she said that they had a bear that came around once a year or two ago. it was so cool! our dad says that he thinks that it was a 400lb bear and it was only about a half mile from our house! i was able to get a picture of the bear, it is hard to see because it was dark and the camera that i was using doesn't work very well in the dark. there is a garbage can on the very far left side of the picture, so you can get a idea of the size of the bear, a little taller than the garbage can. the only thing is we are trying to get into a habit of going for a walk (for exersize) when our dad gets home and we go right by this area, but when we go for a walk it is still light out and most of the time we are home by the time it gets dark. the other day i was kicking a soccer ball back and forth with my brother and my sister, and now for some resone my right foot hurts a little bit and i'm not sure why. well i need to go and turn our dad's minivan around and hook up the trailer so we can take our gabage to the dump (recycling center) and we will be leaving some time after lunch so we can go to youth group. well got to go, see ya'll

[Iceman-bass14]

:lol:

[J_freek]

that is awesome. :yep:

once my dad and two of my friends and i saw a black bear eating berries. it was a good time. my dad joked and told my friend to run at the bear, and he thought my dad was serious.

[jump5fan]

God mades some really neat things, that's for sure.

it rained a little last night i think it is supposed to rain off and on today. we are going to the shooting range tomorow. i'm glad that we are going because i havn't fired my flintlock for a while. we cleaned up some stuff outside yesterday, but it still looks like a mess. we have stuff everywere. i want to get our boat running so we can use it well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

what kind of gun you shoot?

[Iceman-bass14]

Dude tahts awesome that you have a flintlock rifle.I inherited a break barrel shotgun from my grandad who has alzheimers so i actually got it from my grandma cause my grandads in a nursing home...

[jump5fan]

what kind of gun you shoot?

I shoot a CVA .45 flintlock rifle. I also have fired my brother's .22 rifle and my dad's .22 rifle. i also have fired my dad's .308 Bersa Firestorm a couple times. i got a flintlock becuase there is so much history behind them, and it was only like $150 or something.

[jump5fan]

Dude tahts awesome that you have a flintlock rifle.I inherited a break barrel shotgun from my grandad who has alzheimers so i actually got it from my grandma cause my grandads in a nursing home...

Thats cool, I love the older break barrel shotguns. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, I will be praying for him.

[J_freek]

so, Jump5Fan, what is new?

my dad has several guns, but when we moved it was too complicated to take them with. i've never fired a real gun, but i've carried it lots.

[jump5fan]

not much new going on right now. we went for a walk the other evening. the cool thing about when we go for walks is that it gets dark before we get back home. i love riding at night because it is there is almost no traffic and it is nice and quite. i mounted a GPS recever on my bike so now i know how far and how fast i ride. i think the farthest that i have gone is 5.03 miles, or something like that. the one road that we take is all downhill and i have reached 31 mph. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

hey, those GPS things are really cool. :yep: my little bro wants once. what is it like? how hard to install?

[jump5fan]

test

[Iceman-bass14]

sup man?been busy lately w/school and am getting busier for about 2 weeks.will try and post a couple times though.

[jump5fan]

boy, i have not updated this for a while. i'm too tried to type anything right now so i will post something in the morning, good night ya'll.

[jump5fan]

it has been raining the last couple of days which is good because we need the rain, i think we got two to three inches . the only thing is that the westend fair is this week and it might rain on friday and my brother and i want to go to the monster truck show (which is on friday). they are going to have bigfoot and snakebite. last year they had bigfoot and two or three other trucks (i don't remeber the names), they also had a thing were you could ride in the back of a monster truck that was made for giveing rides. it was so cool, they took us around the arena. the truck was so loud! we were going to go today but it might rain so we might not go, unless it doesn't rain then mayby we will, i don't know. i installed i DVD-RW on my computer, so now i can watch DVDs on my computer and i can also burn DVDs. i am thinking about getting a new guitar, perabuly a acoustic steel string guitar. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

do you like all the rain?

[jump5fan]

do you like all the rain? yes, just as long as it isn't a cold driving rain. where we live we sometimes get showers and sometimes thunderstorms all most every afternoon in the summer

[J_freek]

yes, just as long as it isn't a cold driving rain. where we live we sometimes get showers and sometimes thunderstorms all most every afternoon in the summer

are you serious???? remind me never to move there....i hate rain!

[jump5fan]

well we ended up going to the fair after all. it was cloudy for a while and it even drizzled once or twice but then the sun came out. my brother and i looked at the ATVs that they had and i found a new toy that i want, a Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. quadrunner ATV, the only thing is that you arn't allowed to ride ATVs were we live and it is $6,000. we also looked at the hit-or-miss engines. they are really cool, i love the way they look (they are early gas engines) and the way they smell. what eles did we see, oh yah, we looked at the consturtion equipmint that was on display. we also went to the demo derby which was alot of fun. two or three minutes into the third heat the stadium lighting system went out for some reason. so the cars are driving around hitting each other and suddenly it goes black. but it was only the lights for the stadium and the speaker system that the aunonser uses. the lights over it were they had the cars for the next heat, they stayed on and so did all the lights for rest of the fairgrounds. so the fire departmint that was there brought out their search and rescue truck which has lights on it. they raised the lights (which are on a retrackable mast) and turned them on and they were able to finish most of that heat with the truck lights until the stadium lights came back on. it was really cool. tonight is the monster truck show but it looks like we are going to start getting rain from tropical storm Ernesto tonight. hopefuly the rain will hold off until after the show. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

wow! sounds like you had fun.
what is the first pic of?

[jump5fan]

wow yesterday was a lot of fun! our dad won a radio on Ebay and it was down in new jersy so we went to pick it up. whiloe we were down therewe went to the beach. it was so cool! my brother and sister and i had never seen the ocian before. the weather wasn't all that great though. it rained quite a bit on the way down, and then after we had been at the beach for five or ten minutes it started to rain again. i don't remember the name of the island that we were on but there was a lighthouse on the island also that you can go to the top of, so we went to see that. my dad and brother and sister went all the way to the top of the lighthouse but i only went halfway up. when we done at the lighthouse it started to rain really hard but our dad wanted to take us to see the boardwalk so we decited to start heading down to alantic city and hopefuly it would stop raining by the time we got there (which it did). we got to walk along the boardwalk and look at things for two or three hours. we saw all of the cosinos in the city also. we went to the beach right next to the boardwalk and collected some shells and got our feet wet in the alantic ocein, it was great. we drove between 270 and 276 miles totel yesterday (i had some trouble getting the GPS unit to work for a couple miles) i will post some pictures soon, i'm using my dad's toughbook laptop and i download all of the pictures that i take onto my desktop computer. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

wow that's fun sounding....

the first time i saw the Atlantic was like....last month....it's awesome.....

[jump5fan]

well not much going on right now. we went to youth group yesterday. i haven't been getting a whole lot of work done lately because i have ADD and i am trying a different madecation right now that dosn't seem to be working as well as we thought it would. i am hopeing that we will be about to start going for walks again after our dad gets off from work, we haven't been going for a couple reasons. i'm getting back into soccer. i used to be on a soccer team years ago but i stopped, i don't remember why. i'm also starting to learn to skateboard which so far is fun. we still haven't gone to the shooting range yet, but hopfuly we will be able to go sometime soon. well i need to get to work, see ya'll

[J_freek]

my sibs are starting soccer. i was too old to join......

it's very sad....i was only 10 at the time, living in Canada, but my whole family and church mourned.....

[jump5fan]

boy alot has been happening lately. the other day we went to see my favorite comedian Bob Smiley which was very cool, and i even got his autogragh which is very cool too:) our dad was at work so our mom drove us over to the church where he was going to be at. then after our dad got off from work he came over and joined us. the only thing was our mom can't drive in the dark so a fraend of our dad drove it to the ambulanic station where our dad works. on tuesday we went and picked up the van, but when my mom was driving it she would press the gas peddle and the engine would rev and then a second later it would engage suddenly. it turns out the transmishion is leaking somewere and it was empty and we had transmishion fuild in the back of the van but we did not have a funnel, so we stopped at a autozone store and got a funnel. it rained all day yesterday so we stayed inside all day and worked on cleaning the house. our dad is working right now, he normuly works 7am to 7pm but this time he is working 7pm to noon the next day. so he gets off at noon today and then we are going down a little later for youth group. we watched a new Mythbusters episode about movie myths which was really neat. i want to make a radio conteroled car like the car than they used to test the rough road myth and the dukes of hazard jump. i have a severel RC cars (Xmods) and i think it is so cool to see jaime for Mythbusters standing there driving a raguler full-size car by remote. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

[jump5fan]

well our dad has to work today so we can't go to church. i don't feel like typing a juurnal entery at this moment, so i will just post some pictures insted

[zero91]

hi:) , are you a big Mythbusters fan?

yup.:yep:

[jump5fan]

yup.:yep:
cool

[J_freek]

are those simese cats? they're cute. :yep:

well, my mom was saying that in that knightrider thing, this guy drives a car into a trailer, while going like, 60 miles, and my dad said that the guy couldn't stop, and was wondering if Myth Busters proved that he couldn't do that....don't know if i'm making sense....maybe Joey can clarify, because i haven't seen it....:-/

[zero91]

i understood you. no they didnt do any knightrider myths.

[jump5fan]

yes they are simese. the one in the back is named Chester and the one in front is named Sabrina. one of Sabrina's prevese owners didn't treat her very nicely because you can't pick her up, she runs if you try. Chester doesn't like to be held very much ether. we also have a third simese named Sapphire

driving a car into a trailer at 60mph and seeing if it can stop before it crashes at the other end, sounds like something they would do on Mythbusters

[J_freek]

that's why i asked......

so, what is new in your life?

[jump5fan]

that's why i asked......

so, what is new in your life? not much.
i bought a couple small parts for my remote controlled truck on Ebay the other day. i think the only parts that i still need are wheels, tires, engine, body, a radio receiver and a new set of shocks and springs. i also need to get fuel for it sometime. i am learning how to jump a bike without using a ramp which is kind of hard, but it is fun. our dad is home today, so we will porabuly be working on stuff around the house. the leaves on a few of the trees around here are starting to change color and fall off, but what is cool is that yesterday it was 73F. i like fall around here partly because when the leaves fall off the trees you can see so much farther into the woods. i'm going to take pictures looking out into the woods today and then after the leaves fall of the trees i will take more pictures from the seam spots, that way i can make kind of a before and after picture. i am also going to try to take a couple pictures from the end of our driveway looking at the house every morning so that i can make a time elapsed video of the leaves falling off of the trees. well got to go see ya'll

[J_freek]

i'm wondering what winter in the east will be like.....what is the usual temp it gets too?

[sunsurfer]

Remote controlled trucks rock. I have one somewhere...

[jump5fan]

i'm wondering what winter in the east will be like.....what is the usual temp it gets too?

i'm not sure at the moment, i'd have to check. it got up to 83F today

[jump5fan]

well it was supost to rain most of the day today but i guess they changed the forecast and i don't see anything on the radar. my dad and i went to pickup a pipe die that a guy had in the paper up near bushkill falls. our dad is doing some work on the heating systum up at the one ambulance station that he works at. yesterday we went to Home Depot to pickup some angle iron to make brakets to support the air duck. when our dad gets home we will parubly weld the metal and i will perabuly peractice some welding. well got to go, see ya'll

[sunsurfer]

Hi J5. Has it been a good day?

[jump5fan]

Hi J5. Has it been a good day?

yes, so far it has been a good day. how about you?

[sunsurfer]

do anything interesting lately? (your name is Christopher, right? :-/)

[jump5fan]

do anything interesting lately? (your name is Christopher, right? :-/)

not really, and yes my name is Christopher

[jump5fan]

well yesterday our dad welded the brackets for up at the stationand my brother helped. my sister and i rode our bikes arould for a little bit while they were welding. i was going to do some welding of my own but i couldn't think of anything that i wanted to weld. i am hoping that we can get new side doors for our conversion van soon. i also want to start the engine and let it run for a little while because we haven't run it for a couple of months. i hooked the trailer up to the minivan earlier so we can take our garbage to the dump when our dad gets up. we also have youth group tonight which is from 7PM to 9PM and then we have a 45 minute drive home and then our dad has to leave again because he is working tonight. so it looks like it will be a busy day today. while we are on the road i sometimes do some warhunting (WiFi hunting) so mayby i will try to post more later on . well got to go, see ya'll

[jump5fan]

well i didn't get a chance to do anything with the WiFi but ithat is ok and we had a fun time at youth group. my brother and i are excited because our dad says that he has a friend who goes shooting and he and our dad are trying to find a day where they both are not working so we can all go out to the shooting range. our dad's friend will bring his AR-15 semi-auto aussalt rifle so we can shoot it for a while. the cool thing about the AR-15 is that it is a firearm that is used by the military. i have held a AR-15 before at a firearms store near where we live. i have also held a M1 Garand rifle and a M16, both of which are very cool firearms. the M1 Garand weighs about 8lbs while the AR-15 and M16 only weigh 4 or 5lbs. our dad wants to get a M1 Garand sometime but they are exspensive. i am hoping that today we will be able to try and start our boat motor. we have severel things around here that we ether need to repair or finish repairing but we usully don't have enough time to do it. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

[jump5fan]

[jump5fan]

well yesterday i rode my road bike for the first time in a little while. it is funny going from riding my mountian bike to riding the road bike. the mountian bike is more forgiving, if you hit a stone or a pothole you just feel a bump and thats it. with the road bike you have to be careful about hitting stones and potholes. we worked on our one chainsaw yesterday and the pressere washer and got both working, so we are getting some of the stuff around the house put away. well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

who is that in your avvy?

[sunsurfer]

Hi J5. I should be more like you. I've really been craving a life lately.

[jump5fan]

who is that in your avvy?
Adam Savage from Mythbusters http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/meet/meet.html

[jump5fan]

well yesterday i woke up and my right arm hurt when i moved it. it is still bothering my a little bit today, but not as much. we went to youth group yesterday. my brother and i also go to youth group on friday to help out. we get there before everyone else does so we setup the two Xboxs, get the youth group's big screen TV, PS2 and the DDR pads. we also picked up something in Easton that our mom saw on the freecycle website. our mom and dad won't tell us what it is though, my birthday is around a month away so maybe it has something to do with that :lol: i don't know. our neighbors across the street are moving some more stuff to their new house. they aren't home alot of the time because Linda is a realiter and Doug is a truck driver. Doug has the coolest car that he is fixing up, a 1954 Cadillac Eldorado convertable. well got to go, see ya'll

the youth pastor at our church used to live in Canada (he was a youth pastor there too) and i though that maybe he used to be at your church, i guess not. our youth pastor's name is Scott Newell.

[jump5fan]

we are going to church today so i have to make this kind of quick. i love going to church, it is like the highlight of the week. the church that we go to is called Bethany United Methodist Church. The Lord has blessed us so much, it is so amazing. our current attendence for a normal weekend is around 1200. we have four services, at 5PM on Saterday plus 8:00AM, 9:15AM, and 11:00AM on Sunday. we are in the final stages of buying new land so we can build another bigger worship center. we are having membership classes every other month which is so cool, each class has anywere between 5 and 20 people in it and last year wehad i think it was something like 200 new members, which is totaly awsome. well got to go, but i will try to be back on later, maybe after church using WiFi, see ya'll

[J_freek]

do you go to every service?

[jump5fan]

no, we go to the 9:15 service

[jump5fan]

yesterday we went to church and then after that we stopped at our grandfather's place for a while. we stopped at a yardsale were our dad got a Dewalt cordless drill, so now we have another cordless drill around here. we called another auto parts place and couldn't find a set of doors for the van. there is one more place near here that might have the doors that we need, it is called Harry's U Pull It. you bring your own tools and remove the part that you need yourself. we went to a park yesterday also, which was fun. when we go to a park we usaly bring our bikes but it was already 4:30 in the afternoon and it would have taken a while to load the bikes onto the snowmolbile trailer that we have, so we just took our kick scooters and skateboards. well got to go, see ya'll.

[jump5fan]

Well yesterday was a kind of slow day. Our mom is going to be giving a presentation at the one ambulance station that our dad works at tonight. She still has a lot of work to do on the slide-show, and I think it has to be done by the middle of the afternoon. She spent a good bit of the day yesterday working on it. I was outside alot yesterday, I cleaned up some stuff and then did a little landscaping and played (or at least I tried to play) some tennis with my brother and sister. Tennis is alot harder to play then Ii thought it was. I bought a couple small parts for my RC truck on Ebay a couple days ago and they came yesterday. I am hoping that we will be able to get doors for the conversion van before it starts getting too cold to work outside with your hands freezing. We need to get a new exghust system for it. I want to get glasspacks because it already sounds like a muscle car without a muffler, but to drive it on the road it needs a muffler. I want to get it running before it snows so that when it does snow (and if my dad says that its ok) I can take the van down in the cul-da-sac and play around and do donuts and stuff (or try to anyway). Well got to go, see ya'll

[J_freek]

btw, what are you going to do with this van?

[jump5fan]

btw, what are you going to do with this van?

i would like to use it to learn how to drive. some day i want to turn it into sort of a off-road van or something. it is the only rear wheel drive van that we have. the other two vans that we have are minivans, which are front wheel drive.

Our mom's presentation went well, so we are all glad because she spent alot of time on it. After our dad gets up we are going to the recycling center and them sometime after lunch we will be heading down to the liberary and perabuly some other places and then church because we have youth group tonight. We still haven't gone to the shooting range, but I am hoping that we will be able to go soon. I think I might be starting to get sick or something because when I chough I get that feeling that you get when you are sick. well I have to go hook up the trailer to the one minivan, which I was supposted to do it earlier but forgot. See ya'll

Well yesterday I played some more tennis with my brother and we achuly hit the ball back and forth something like 7 or 8 times in a row. It is hard game but it's not has hard as I was thinking. I installed a new game called Battlefield 2 on my computer but I can't get into the game, it starts to load the game and the screen goes blank (the way it does when you get into a game) but then it stops loading and goes back to windows. I took the alumunum diamond plate pickguard off my guitar and put the origle plastic pickguard back on. We had a thunderstorm yesterday evening and it rained overnight so now everything outside is wet. Once everything dries out a little I am going to try building a new metal melting furnace and try melting some metal. I installed the new parts on my gas truck, now I think all that I need are the wheel, tires, engine, radio receiver plus new shocks and springs and a body. I am also want to take the battery from our Caravan and put it in the conversion van and let the engine run for a little bit. Well got to go, see ya'll.
