The Eliminator.

Today was Sunday.  Yesterday I had a play-date with my friend.  In my dad's shop we made a completely homemade crossbow.  It fired at least forty feet.  When my friend was here it broke two times.  We also fixed it two times.  The first time we called it The Eliminator.  The second time we called it The Eliminator II.  Once my friend left it broke two more times.  The Eliminator III and The Eliminator IV came to town.   I broke The Eliminator IV I finally decided it was getting too boring to keep on fixing, gluing, nailing, and hammering The Eliminator, so I stopped doing it.

It was made completely out of: wood, duck tape, gorilla glue and spray paint.  The first time I showed my dad The Eliminator I said I came up with a new invention (the Arrow and Bow*).  My friend loved it until I broke it.

Just for the record, I would like to say that my little brother also made one.  The only thing that's different between my bow and my little brother's bow is that mine is in the trash.  His is in the mudroom for safe keeping.

Me and my broken Eliminator IV.

    I catch you drift...so what is today's project? I assume you don't have school?

    And, remember, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

Caw!, Caw! (American Crow) A.K.A. Birdwatching

     I have recently gotten into birdwatching.  I've already seen a bunch of birds this spring.  I like birdwatching because it is very relaxing.  I love how I hear them singing outside my window. I also like their slender build, and especially how their wings fold up.  Most birds I can identify right away, like the Brown Headed Cowbird, or the American Robin, but their will always some mystery bird that I don't have the time to identify so I let it slide.  I have noticed this bird that has often been flying around in our field that I haven't gotten a good enough look at so I don't know what it is.  I think it lives in tree close to the field.  It's really nagging me.      I have three birding guides.  'The Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of North America', 'Florida birds' (I don't live in Florida, so I don't use this one so much.), and 'Vermont Birds'. The Peterson one has all the birds that hav...

Rich

Today I met Rich, one of my friends dad's.  It's really awesome.   Just for the record, he told me to write this.  He is very handsome guy.  I know you think this is weird, but bear with me.   P.S. I'm not trying to offend anybody. P.P.S. I just turned ten on april twelfth.  Oh Ya.  I got a GoPro ( GoPro ), a double bass peddle (for drums [ double bass ]), art supplies, a subscription to the stone soup magazine ( Stone Soup ),  a journal, a $50 gift card to Amazon ( Amazon ), a $25 dollar gift card to Barnes&Noble ( B&N ) , a Hat Trick (also for drums [ Hat Trick ]), and rollerblades.

BONE

There is a really cool graphic novel series called Bone .  It's really good.  There are eleven books.  Two of the books aren't exactly in the series, Rose and The Bone Handbook .  They are all done by Jeff Smith.  One of my friend's has met him.  He says Jeff is really nice.  The last Bone  book came out a few years ago.  He is starting to make a new series called Quest For The Spark .  It isn't a graphic novel but a novel.  Jeff Smith is illustrating  it and it's written by Tom Sniegoski.  I've read all the Bone 's and I just got the first Quest For The Spark  book and it's really good. If you like magic and fantasy this is the book for you.   > Bone > Quest For The Spark (:{)
