On Tuesday (day 7 here), I woke up at 11:45 to 12pm. After I was
up for a little bit, we talked about what movie to see, and Spiderman was
playing at 4:05pm at the local theater.
It was awesome, and this was probably the best Spiderman in the entire
Marvel franchise. After the movie was over, we stopped at Walmart and picked up
the golf tubes we ordered to make our homemade rocket. We needed plastic fins
too, so on the way home we got an old sign off of a telephone pole to make what
we needed. 
After getting back to Uncle Troy’s house, we got everything
together we needed to start building a rocket. Uncle Troy cut up the fins while
I cut the rocket body. Then I looked up a video on how to make the parachute,
and then made the parachute while Uncle Troy glued the fins onto the rocket. I
made the parachute out of a tablecloth, which I had a little trouble with, but
I could do it again if I have to. After we got done, we relaxed. Around 8pm
Uncle Troy made us some spaghetti and garlic cheese bread, It was all super
good. He also told me to start setting my alarm for 7am so I don't sleep till
noon every day. We cleaned up and went to bed.
Wednesday (day 8 here), I woke up 12 minutes before my alarm was
even supposed to go off because Max somehow opened my door, came in and started
licking my face. We drove to the dealership in Athens, (Not Athens Greece) and
got his truck's oil changed. That took about an hour, and I caught no Pokemon
(Yes I play Pokemon Go). We got on the highway going back home when Uncle Troy
stopped the truck and said, “I was going to have you drive”. He stopped on the side of the road and we
switched places. I drove us to the gas station, and then back to the house.
Thursday (day 9 here). The night before Uncle Troy was trying to
make a nose cone that would deploy a parachute, and was trying to make it out
of baby bottles. That wasn’t working so he decided to try and 3D print one
instead. He spent most of the day modeling the nose cone, and now is trying to
get it to print. I took a nap around 12:30 and woke up at 3:30. I played with
Max outside for a while, the came back in, it is really hot here. Later on I
went to hang out in the living room. Uncle Troy came out and made us Chili
cheese dogs, and we watched Rick and Morty. It's probably my favorite animated
show because it's just so stupid and random. We watched about 2 hours’ and then
went to bed.
Friday (day 10 here). Uncle Troy figured out how to 3D print last
night, but didn’t start printing it till this morning. I woke up at 7am this
morning without the help of Max. Uncle Troy got me and we started working on
the test rocket. We had to make the rocket propellant, and a lot of other stuff
just to get a test flight. This was all to make sure the rocket propellant
worked properly. We did a test launch, and it worked great! We launched the rocket into the woods on
purpose so it wouldn’t hit a neighbor’s house. After the launch we looked for
the rocket…it could not be found. (For now.) We made a video of what we did,
and plan to make more. Stay tuned and
have a great day.
