I FINISHED!

Well, today I finished my Family Life project!!!
That means I will get the merit badge on Sunday!
Other than that, I will be Star rank.....It's cool.
By the way, the Air-Show was a disappointing because they didn't have as much stuff there as there was last time.

This is my Family Life project. I had to throw away the original top because the top was water damaged. So, I saved the outside trim, I cut out a new piece of plywood, I stained the entire thing, put a brace on the bottom, and during the process I had to take the door off.

And here is me working on it,













I am showing my stain job on the underside













 more stain













And...The top.
Here I am putting the brace on.



Above, it is almost finished just have to put the door on
Below....... IT IS FINISHED!!!!!













And what is it for you ask?

Our library printer!!



















So, after all that you might want to check out my brother's blog http://techsmith.wordpress.com/, it's cool.

By the way this is the Star Rank patch.....



ok, it's not that big..


Thanks for reading,

October.

Well I know I haven't blogged since September 27, but I have had so much to do that I couldn't write.

So, all is well in Millsap. I am going to the air-show on October 30th with some of my family, and some friends.
At the air-show, there will be lots of jets, private jets, military helicopters, private helicopters, and BIG HUGE MILITARY PLANES LIKE THE B-52 Flying Fortress!!!! Yeah I know, I love aviation. But also there will be the Virtual Army Experience!(AKA V.A.E.) The V.A.E is a thing to where you get in a "Jeep" or a "Black-Hawk Helicopter" and you have heavy guns that have lasers in them, in and on the vehicle of your choice, and you shoot at people in the game.(By the way, a projector under the vehicle projects the game on three screens per vehicle.)

Also there is all the concession stands where you can get food anywhere from corn-dogs to barbecued turkey legs.

Ok, I will stop about the air-show. I packed all my "Summer" clothes away, and I got out all my "Fall" clothes.
One of many things I like about Fall is, all the leaves start to turn gold, brilliant red, and orange. Then they all fall down eventually and when you take a nice quiet walk, they crunch beneath your feet, making you feel better than you did when when you woke up. And this is the first year i have seen acorns falling from our oak trees since we moved out here. It rained like crazy last week, and within a few days, the ground looked exactly like it did before it rained. :-)
I am trying to get pictures of things that I have seen or completed but yet i have not. But  I will show you a picture of something!

The Apache AH-64 attack helicopter!


I would like to fly helicopters eventually and get a job flying them.

Well I can't think of anything else!(Other than the Court Of Honor on November 14 that will officially make me Star rank.)

Have a blessed week,

Timothy

Cool weather! (as well as new earphones!)

AAAHHH!!! The wonderful cool sweet country air...... I could breath it forever....Oh I didn't know you were there.. So, today I woke up FREEZING!! :-) It was only 50 degrees but it felt like -20. But soon I will get used to it. I am now a Star Scout, and Braden is a Life Scout. So back to this morning, I woke up feeling like I lived in the South Pole, got up and shivering, got dressed and headed down to our library where I thought I might find something to do. Without finding anything to do, I went upstairs to find my iPod. When I picked it up, my hands almost stuck to the back. :-) A couple of months ago my blue JVC earphones broke, so I have been using some cheap white ones that muffle everything, but today my Dad got me some new JVC earphones. THEY ARE AWESOME!! While listening to Baby It's Fact by Hellogoodbye I write this blog. If you ever listen to Hellogoodbye, the music videos are kinda corny. But anyway I like the band. I hope to post pictures soon but alas, I am not a much of a picture-man, so Braden(The Photographer) will help me take amazing professional pictures with his Nikon D-40. So until tomorrow, or the next time I blog.. Farewell!

My first Blog!

Hello everyone!!(those who are reading this) I am happy to share some of my life with you!

First off, I started this not only for fun but also I needed to finish up a merit badge... So, obviously I named my blog after my interest for Chemistry(which I am really interested in). Right now I have a headache from this morning's event, which was packing up from camping since Thursday evening. We went to Dinosaur Valley State Park to go camping because, the place where we were originally going didn't reply.... So we went to the state park. I had a great time(except for falling 12-14 times in the Paluxy river). Today, just after we left the park, it rained! It was perfect timing because, for one thing, the forecasters said it would rain Thursday and Friday night. Boy were they off by about 48 hours. The other thing is, we DESPERATELY needed the rain. But the cool thing was riding home with my friend Liam. Whenever we are going somewhere, Liam and I make up some road trip joke... This time everything was "Jumbo-Large" which actually stole from another thing that doesn't matter. So for now I won't keep you from doing something else.

And remember DON'T MIX CHLORINE AND ALCOHOL, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!
