Days 11, 12, 13, 14 - Winner Winner Steak Dinner

Saturday (Day 11), I woke up at 7am, our memory's are fuzzy about what we did. I know I rode the 4-wheeler and got it up to 25 MPH in low gear, even though I can take it into high gear now. That night we went to Burger King for dinner, and then went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Uncle Troy also mowed the big yard in the morning because it was overcast and cool.

Sunday (Day 12), I got up at 8am. It was way too hot outside to do

anything out there, so we stayed in the AC. I played with Max for awhile, watched some YouTube on the TV, and watched some Netflix. Basically had a lazy day indoors. We had steak for dinner that night with mac & cheese, and corn. Later on after dinner, we took turns playing the Xbox. Uncle Troy was 3D printing some parts for his printer, which took 8 hours of print time. Uncle Troy stayed up late waiting for the printer to get done so he could go to sleep (he wont sleep with it on just in case).


Monday (Day 13), Got up at 7am, and started to help Uncle Troy pick up sticks and firewood. We basically cleaned up the backyard. Uncle Troy then mowed the backyard. We couldn't use the weed eater because it had no gas and no line. I watched some more YouTube and took a nap. Only reason why I took a nap was because Uncle Troy fell asleep. Later that night, we had pizza for dinner, and played some Call of Duty. We stayed up and had a lot of fun playing Call of Duty.

Tuesday (Day 14), Woke up at 8am to Max licking my face again, Uncle Troy let him into my room. He was barking outside my door right before that, which is something he does to me, same as he did to my grandma. I drove to a gas station that was a couple towns away, so Uncle Troy could buy gas without Ethanol for the weed eater and lawnmower.We then went to Huddle House after dropping off the gas at home. Uncle Troy and I both had Country Fried Steak and eggs for breakfast. We then had to go to ACE hardware store to get a chainsaw chain that Uncle Troy had sharpened, some line for the weed eater, and some Thompson Water Sealant. I stained the back porch with the Thompson Water Sealant, and Uncle Troy said it turned out great. We decided we were going to print something awesome today, and the 3D printer will be printing until about 10pm tonight. A full 8 hours of printing. I will show you the final product after I paint it and customize it. I made Mac 'n' Cheese for lunch and watched The Flash while I was eating. Well, that about does it for today.  We were planning on going to the movie tonight, but didn't work out because the printer wasn't done in time, and you can't pause a print after it starts or you lose it all.  Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Day 7, 8, 9 and 10 - Homemade Rocket

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.

Days 4, 5 and 6 - Relaxing, Then a Long Haul

holding like Spec Ops

So, first off, the reason why this update is late is because Uncle Troy and I went to Mississippi for a visit, and we didn't get back until yesterday. The day before we left (Friday) I didn't wake up until 12:30pm, and I never sleep in that late. When I got up, Uncle Troy made some eggs, sausage, and toast, and we didn't do anything that day, super hot outside. We just relaxed all day long and watched T.V. We had pizza for dinner.

Sleeping on the way

Saturday, we woke up at 6am so we could get on the road for Mississippi. It was about a 5 - 6 hours drive there, but I slept most of the way. I definitely slept all the way through Louisiana, which is normal because I always sleep on long car rides. Just wait until we have to go to Iowa, more of the same I bet. When we got to Mississippi, it was like a small reunion for me and Jason, because we haven't seen each other in a really long time. We went for Jason's daughter's Birthday party, and it turned out to be so much fun.
