Merit Badge Round-up

last Saturday i had a merit badge round-up. everyone hates these! they're soooooooo boring, even the leaders hate them. in fact some of my leaders left because they hate it so much! after i always have this sense of accomplishment, it feels good. and they always have donuts. at this one we did camping, enviromental science, and citizenship in the nation. i thought that the citizenship in the nation was going to be the longest but the enviromental science was the longest, and the most boring. i don't have much else to say about that but after i got some lunch and then rounded up a crew and had an air soft war. this was probably the funnest I've ever had, because we went out to this big dessert place that had huge dirt hills and big mounds. it was the best air soft place ever! me and all my friends had alot of fun. since we all forgot water we all rode our bikes down to the nearest church and grabbed a drink, water never tasted so good!

shooting guns and crashing planes

my target is on the left............... my dads is on the right.

alot has happened these past few days. some good and some bad. mostly good though. last saturday my dad took me shooting, we had alot of fun. it was pretty much my first time shooting real guns. the only other time that i have shot a gun was at scout camp last year and i only got to shoot it like once. when i went shooting with my dad i shot pretty much the whole time. we did some competitions and stuff. he brought his 22 pistol, his rifle ( think that it was a 22 also, but i not sure, i don't know guns ), his 9 mm, and his revolver gun thing. i liked the pistol the most because it was easy to shoot easy to hold and most of all looked cool. the rifle was cool too. the rifle was the one that i had shot at scout camp. i didn't dare shoot the 9mm. he didn't offer either but i would off said no even if he had. the revolver, he forgot the bullets but he said that it was more power full then the 9mm. this was alot of fun. i wished that we could have stayed longer but my dad had a meeting at 4 so we had to leave at 3:30. but it was still a lot of fun. i have a merit badge expo coming up so i have to work on all these packets. one of the ones that i am doing is the aviation merit badge. i was really excited about this because you had to build and fly an remote controlled air craft. so we got an airplane........ i crashed it............... still worked............crashed again............. completely demolished...........now mom mad........ I'm sure that you can piece that together. none of that was fun! i could save plane with 80 bucks..... which i have.......... but parents wont let me buy it.......... ya...... so anyway that pretty much sums it up.

lately we have been doing alot of yard work. the other day we were spraying down the parch with the hose when my mom saw a worm looking type thing. it had two stingers on the end of its body and alot of legs. we weren't sure what it was but we thought that it was a centipede but we weren't sure because it had stingers, like a scorpion. so i ran inside and got two cups and i caught it. we then put it in a Tupperware and put it in my dads shop. right now its in my dads shop, but it is half dead. after i looking it up on the Internet and it turns out that it was a centipede. it called a giant desert centipede. and they are mostly found in Arizona but can be found in southern Nevada. it was pretty awesome. today we have been doing more yard work. we raked up all of the dead grass in our back yard, and there was a lot of it! and then we seeded and mulched our backyard lawn. it was pretty fun. but my mom was getting a little irritated because she would put the seed down and we would dump some mulch over the seeds. we would race to be the first one to put some mulch down and there was some fighting, but over all it was pretty fun. i also had to do fast offerings today, i hate doing fast offerings because i have to do them every time. there is plenty of boys to do it but they are all lazy! i have had to do it for 8 months straight and some boys have been a deacon longer than i have and have only done it like once! one time i even had to do two neighborhoods because only three of us showed up! and i would not of had to do it that time but no one showed up so the leaders had to call the more responsible boys like me and like, one other kid, Andrew. me and him do most of the freaking work in the deacons corm. it makes me so mad. and i think that the leaders hate me even though i do a ton of work because every other day they call me and ask me to bring something or do this or that. and it is always last minute because the other boys ditch!

i got a laptop




a few weeks ago i remembered that my mom has a laptop. As you probably know i have been wanting a laptop for as long as i can remember. i asked my mom if we could get it out. she said yes, i was so excited. i slowly and patently waited for the right time to ask her if i could keep it out and use it for my homework and stuff. she said yes, again. i was really excited now! unfortunately the sound didn't work and the battery hadn't been turned on in so long that it has to be constantly plugged in to an outlet. and it doesn't have a wireless card so i had to buy a 60 dollar one. i finally got it to work. so now it has Internet. and then grandma was able to to fix the sound. so the only down fall is that it has to be constantly plugged in. but it is really awesome and most kids don't even have a laptop so..... i very happy about it.
