Yeah, the Red Green show is awesome. I first ran across it on Oregon Public Broadcast TV. I don't know too many guys that make their on gear pullers. My brother need a puller to remove a shaft from a ski boat he's working on and coast him about $100.00. You remind me of my brother when he was your age--he was always taking things apart too. He's know an engineer for Lockheed Martin. He's a landing gear and fuel systems specialist. Here's one of the planes he's been working on.

thursday was fun, we went ice skating! our sister has been wanting to go ice skating for a while so we all went. it was a lot harder then i thought it would be and i only went around the outside holding onto the wall 3 or 4 times but i am think about trying again sometime. i can't wait for the weather to get warmer so i can start biking again. we got a could more inches of snow the other day and i think they are calling for more snow startuing monday but i don't know how much yet. i played my guitar a little bit last night which was good because i haven't been playing very much lately.. well i guess that is all for now, bye!

boy a lot of stuff has been happening lately. first I bought more then 1000 9mm shells to reload, so i am working on that. it got up to i think 60F on wedensday which was nice except now our driveway is a muddy mess. i changed the fuel filters on the accord a couple days ago and since it was so warm the other day we lowered the idle speed on the accord and then i took it for a test drive. a little later that day we started to check and adjust the timing on the car but run into some trouble and ended up breaking a part off of the distributor. we fixed the broken part yesterday with J-B Weld and let it sit over night. our dad bought some parts for the car on his way to work yesterday. my sister make a whole lot of suger cookie dough yesterday evening and she is going to bake that today. on Sunday on our way home from church we stopped at the one legion near allentown because they have a F-14A Tomcat on display which was very cool. i can't wait until the weather warms up and stays warm so we can start biking again, partly because i love biking and because i am kind of overweight and would like to loose some weight. i also want to try skateboarding. so needless to say i can't wait for warmer weather. well i guess that is all for now, bye!

I don't think i have ever heard so much bass before. it was so cool to hear songs that i have heard hunderds of times before on the radio played live! it was really warm on sunday, i think it was like 55F when we left church. i am in the middle of reading Eldest which is the second book in the Eragon book series. i am hoping to go to the shooting range sometime soon. i bought a box of 1,000 9mm shells about a month ago to reload for my carbine. so far i have only reloaded aroyund a hunderd rounds but i am going to try loading some more soon. well i guess that is it for now, bye

It isn't really keeping us from going, our mom doesn't want us to go.

Hey, good to see you updating things, it's been a while. Yep, a lot of people get a little jumpy and paranoid about things like the swine flu -- or the H1N1 virus as the pig farmers say. So you're not the only ones staying home right now. Over all though I think we're pretty safe. Check out the VW thread I started in "autos" you might find it interesting.

found a new favorite show, CSI Miami.. i haven't done any driving for a little more then two weeks so right now i have a really strong urge to take our honda and go find a twisty back road somewhere and just drive.

. i am a old Heathkit sterio amp that i dusted off the other day. it is a older amp and none of the knobs are labeled but i was able to figure out how to use it. i have severlal projects going on right now. i have rorking restoring a old air commpreser and a 1500 watt generator. i am also working on making a car for a driving/racing simulator that we have. well i guess that is it for now.

lots of things have been going on lately so i guess i'l just jump in. there were a couple trees that were starting to get in the way of the antenna on our dad's one tower so we cut them down yesterday. it is interesting how cutting down just two or three trees can change the way everything looks. we had to bring the trees down near the pool and some of the branches of the one tree ended up in the pool but other then that everything want fine my dad and i fixed my flintlock rifle and i fired it off a couple times for the 4th of july. our dad picked up a rifle scope at a yardsale that i am going to try with my hi-point carbine so i'm looking fowrd to trying that next time we going to the range my brother and sister and i still aren't going anywhere because of the flu stuff. i hate not going to church. i havent been doing much biking latey but i an going to start riding again soon. i like biking plus i need the exercise. i've been doing a lot of work with a software program i downloaded called Blender. it can be used to make movies, games, art, 3d stuff and the best part is that the software is free. i have a new favorite show, Warehouse 13, well i guess that's it for now, bye!

well it has been kind of boring around here lately. someone not too far from here had a bunch of trees that were cut down and he said that we could have them so now we have a big pile of wood in our driveway again. my brother and sister and i are kind of disapionted right because we aren't going to be able to go to the West End Fair this year. i really can't wait until we can start going to church again. i had a dentist apionntment about a week ago and i guess i have something on almost every tooth. i have been working on stuff around the house latey right now i am trying to get our pool cleaned up. well i guess that is it for now, bye.
