Triathlon Training

2011-09-08T09:25:00.003-05:00

Bro. Swanson let me borrow his road bike for my triathlon this Saturday. One the first day of using it I was using the triathlon-bars and I fell off and got all scraped up. Yesterday we went and had my wrist x-rayed because my Dad thought I broke it when I fell. It wasn't broken, just bruised. Then we went to this store called Running Wild and bought me some $50 triathlon-shorts, they dry really quick, have extra padding in the back (for the bike) and a big pocket in the back. When I put them on it reminded me of that line from Nacho Libre: "Sometimes, when you are a man- you wear stretchy pants in your room-. Just for fun."

Friedlander 2011

2011-08-08T18:46:00.011-05:00

Last week my Dad, brother and I went to Scout Camp at Camp Friedlander in Ohio (Dan Beard Council). I got several Merit Badges: Climbing, Orienteering, Small Boat Sailing, Camping, Pulp & Paper, Sclupture and Textile. My Dad and I also did the BSA Mile Swim (again). I now only have 2 Merit Badges left to get my Eagle Scout.

We drove by the Birmingham, Alabama Temple on the way there.

We were out in the middle of nowhere and my Dad said: "Wouldn't it be funny if we drove around the corner and we see an LDS meetinghouse?" And less than a minute later...

You can't see the sign here, but it says:

'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Visitors Welcome'.

Crossing from Kentucky into Ohio.

Quack, quack.

Too hot to handle.

I don't remember where we are here...

Youth Conference 2011

2011-07-18T09:11:00.005-05:00

Last Thursday through Saturday all the youth in the Tallahassee mission went to Troy University in Troy, Alabama for Youth Conference. Marvin Goldstein came and spoke to us and played the piano (you are so jealous), and several other great speakers. Both nights we stayed there, there was a dance. I danced with about 36 different girls. The theme was the 13th Article of Faith: 'We Believe'.

2011-07-02T16:30:00.003-05:00

Today the Young Men in my ward and I went over to our Young Men's President's house to recieve Fast Offerings from the church members. After we got back we played Risk. The Young Men's President won. He also beat me at chess. I would have won, but I made a mistake early in the game by moving my bishops out and then blocking off their retreat by moving my queen up. So, he took both bishops with pawns.

Eagle Scout Project

2011-05-17T10:19:00.016-05:00

Saturday, May 14 I did my Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project at the Pensacola Lighthouse on NAS Pensacola. We assembled two picnic tables and constructed a garden planter. The weather was great and we had a lot of people there. Even though I finished this I still have to get 5 more Merit Badges to get my Eagle Scout. All these pictures were taken by Tyler Miles.

Scout Camp 2010

2010-10-13T16:31:00.012-05:00

Here are all the pictures I took at Scout Camp this year. I went to Camp Euchee at STSR and Camp Friedlander in Ohio, there I went to camp with my cousin and his troop. It was awesome!

Spyker C12 Zagato

2010-04-14T13:53:00.012-05:00

The Spyker C12 Zagato can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.8 seconds, has a top speed of 195 MPH and has 500 HP. The Zagato was introduced on March 6, 2007. Only 24 models were to be produced. It weighs 3,262 pounds and has a tank capacity of 15.4 gallons.

2010-01-11T13:49:00.007-06:00

About a week ago the Young Men in our ward went on a three day two night camping trip to Karic Lake. The first night it was 20 degrees and I piled leaves around my tent trying to keep out the cold. The second day the Young Men ran and the leaders walked a 3.8 mile trail around the lake. I went fishing and didn't catch anything.

Espionage

2009-09-12T14:35:00.002-05:00

I'm writing a book called 'Espionage: Alpha'. It's about this spy named Willy Stomper who works for the ASLI (read the book to find out what that means). The ASLI is even more secretive than the CIA because only the President, Vice-President and the Secertary of Defence know it exists.
'Scorpion' is the name of the enemy spy force. Willy must go (in a Spyker C12 Zagato I might add) and save his friends from Scorpion.

2009-06-29T09:02:00.022-05:00

I got back from five days of Scout Camp at Camp Euchee at Spanish Trail Scout Reservation Friday night. It was awesome! The first day was about a hundred degrees. Then the rest of the week was about eighty. But in our (real-man) canvas tents it was hot. In one guys tent it was 120 degrees. My dad and I were the only ones to go from our troop so we shared a campsite with three other troops.

At the campfire at the end of the week they have like an Honor Scout thing where one boy from every troop is called up and recognized for demonstrating most the Scout Law, and Oath in his Troop. I was the only boy in Troop 645 there so I got to go up. They gave us these dog-tags painted metallic blue with 'Spanish Trail Scout Reservation' on it.

One of the Troops in our campsite, 544 hid a 'totem' around camp. My dad and I went everywhere looking for it. The people there are obsessed with Star Wars and every year they keep one campsite closed. This year they took 'Creek' and made an Ewok Village. We went down there looking for a golden C-3Po, and climbed up in it. I went down to shooting sports and looked around. Then we went to the OA lodge (tepee) and found a sign that had fallen off a pole. It had to be the 'totem' It matched all the clues so we took it out of the lodge. The camp medic just happened to be passing by. He said we could take it. So we took it back to camp but it wasn't the 'totem'. We kept on looking. Then someone found it. It was on top of a vending machine at the Trading Post.

I got four Merit Badges and most of one there. Swimming, First Aid, Citizenship in the World and Environmental Science. I only have one more thing to do for Communications. So now I have five Merit Badges done including my Aviation.

Troop 157, (The Pink Flamingos) decided to put plastic flamingos everywhere. There was one at Ecology, One duct taped to the medics' golf cart and a bunch everywhere else.

My dad bought me a walking stick(4$) and a medallion(6$) to nail onto it from the Trading Post. Then I bought another medallion, so now my walking stick is worth 20 dollars.

Baby goat name

2009-02-17T11:48:00.003-06:00

We decided to name our baby goat 'Skipper'.

Baby Goat

2009-01-27T08:30:00.008-06:00

Talk about being a monkeys uncle, what if you were a baby goats owner! Last night at 8:21 PM we got home from dinner at a friends house. We knew Lafanduh was going to have the kids soon so when we got home we all jumped out of the car, opened the gate, closed it then ran up to the house, opened the garage door and ran onto the backyard to the goats pen.

We plugged in a light so we could see what was going on. When we did we saw Lafanduh standing there licking her baby goat dry. Goat kids begin walking just after birth so the little girl was toddling around, tail wagging like crazy. Goats usually have two kids in one birth so we sat up for an hour waiting for another baby, and there is a 15% more chance to have a boy. But all we got was one girl.

A baby goat is called a kid

Look at that!

Come on mom lets play!

We gave Lafanduh warm molasses water

Who says hay is just for horses

Now we have 2 girls and 1 boy

Patrol

2009-01-20T16:43:00.000-06:00

A while back for Scouts I had my Board of Review for my Tenderfoot badge (I finished all the requirements for that and my Second Class at Scout Camp). Me and my friend came up with a name for our patrol: M-16's. It took us a long time to think of one so we just started throwing stuff out that came to mind. Our Scout leader wasn't to enthusiastic about us naming our patrol after a machine gun, and I'll admit that our patrol yell could of been really violent like: Die!! but like I said we were getting really annoyed and bored so we settled on: Brrrttt-Brrrttt-Brrrttt!

To da' Max

Check this out! A book shelf, fridge (feel free to write on it) and music ( from Narnia). I want to get some music from 'National Treasure' too. I also want to let you know I went to www.youngeagles.org (which is awesome) and typed my name in their logbook and it said I was in a CTSW not CTLS (see 'Flying Friday').

Names

2008-11-12T12:46:00.000-06:00

We named the goats Kip and LaFawnda. After the movie 'Napoleon Dynamite'

2008-11-07T12:49:00.001-06:00

As you can see I got a new background. I also customized my banner with SpaceShipOne.
Yesterday we got goats! A boy and a girl. She is pregnant so soon we'll have baby goats! We have wanted them for a while. When we got them the girl was really friendly so we just walked her to the car, but the owner had to lasso the male. Boy, he was as good as any cowboy with that rope! It caught the goat in the hind legs, then he got out and ran into his little hut where he didn't stand a chance. The man who had lassoed him grabbed his horns and walked him to the truck. After that he gave up trying to escape and was good, he even jumped up on the tailgate for us. When we got home we carried the dog kennel that they we're in out back. They were only about 2-yr old Pygmy goats so they both fit in there no problem. I tied a rope to a tree with my Boy Scout 'two half-hitches'. Then a bowline around the girls neck, but she got loose. We have a large fenced in yard so we are letting them run around. Here's some pics.

The boy is white

Saturday we went to the National Museum of Naval Aviation on NAS Pensacola for a thing called Flight Fest. We got to put our hand prints on a Northrop Grumman F-5 Tiger. I put mine on the pilot's right stabilator and the aileron.

We've had chickens for a long time, when they laid eggs we only got one a day. My mom thought that they were laying them in a hidden spot, she was right. In the front yard hidden behind a pampyus grass bush laid 20 eggs some were old some were brand new. My brother found them. One of the chickens eggs (not from the lost continent) had two yolks.

Flyin' Friday

2008-09-05T14:21:00.000-05:00

For homeschool our theme this month is aviation, and I'm already almost done with my Aviation merit badge (I'm still working on my Environmental Science).

Today we got a big surprise, we got to fly! We woke up and my mom and dad said we were going some where about aviation. When we got there we were in a neighborhood, we pulled into a drive way and my mom told us to walk to the back of the house behind a shed, and my grandpa came with us. I was the first to turn the corner, turns out the shed was actually a hanger, there sat a FlightDesign CTLS! Of course I didn't know that at the time. I smiled and my mom said I gasped. Then the owner walked up he told us some about the plane, like it can take car fuel and motorcycle oil. He was also restoring a WWII Piper Cub (he was literally rebuilding it, it was nothing but a skeleton) . Then he told us about the parachute, there was a cord in the plane, if you pull it the back of the plane blows up and a parachute comes out. My brother asked "What if the parachute doesn't work?" the man (named Jim) said there had only been only one partial failure out of about 360 uses. Then Jim said we could fly it! Then he and his 'ground crew' (a guy named Les) took the plane out of the hanger, they let me go up first. I got in then buckled up, Les closed the door, Jim told me to put on my head set. Then he started the prop and turned on the intercom, which was hard to work unless you talked really loud. We then drove to the runway at Ferguson Field about 300 yards away from his back door, and took off! He let me fly some with the pedals and stick (the plane had a stick instead of a yoke). We flew to Alabama and back in Florida and saw the Perdido Greyhound Track. When we landed it was my sisters turn she went up and saw our church and TeamLaws house. She got a shorter turn because it was getting cloudy. Next my brother went up, and got kinda sick later. He got the shortest turn because more clouds were coming. At the end he gave us certificates with Harrison Ford's signature (I was told he does Indiana Jones) he is the chairman of the 'Young Eagles' program (what we did). He also gave us some Cessna control panel posters, magazines, bracelets, pins and some balsa wood gliders (he gave me a 'Learn to fly' booklet to).

Eco Tour

2008-08-30T16:46:00.000-05:00

Today we went on our Eco tour/adventure at Big Lagoon. There was a bunch of people there, and I got to drag the seine net.

We haven't been doing anything exciting lately, but next week we are going to Big Lagoon for an 'Eco Adventure'. The park rangers are getting a sane net (my dad has one) and dragging it through the water and we are going to study the stuff in it.

Homeschool

2008-08-25T10:08:00.000-05:00

Ta-da!

This blog will also display our homeschool adventures. This month’s theme is ecology. While I was at Boy Scout camp in Dayton, Ohio with my cousin (it was awesome), my family back in Florida had just begun our ‘eco adventure’. I got back just in time to participate. A while back we went to Big Lagoon and made Plaster of Paris molds. My sister found a huge mussel and put in her mold. Turns out it was still alive! It stinks, baaaad!

Ze plaster is drying

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The other day we did a service project at the boat launch at the end of our road. We cleaned up the trash there. I’m also working on my Environmental Science merit badge for Scouts. My dad said it was the hardest to get go i'm really working.

Look a beer can/bird (in its nest)!

Camp

2008-08-24T08:48:00.000-05:00

Hi and welcome to the new and improved version of my blog. I recently went to Camp Birch in Dayton, Ohio (my cousin lives there) for 11-yr old Boy Scout camp. Here are some pics my uncle took.

The begining of 'climb'

2008-08-07T19:07:00.000-05:00

Then I put in my 'Dangerous Book for Boys', it tells you about history and how to build stuff, it also has English lessons. Finally I said goodbye to my mom and siblings, and my dad drove me to his work, where we read and talked. Then at 9:00AM my dad called my grand parents, whom said to call back in half an hour.9:30, we called again and was told that my grandpa would be there in another half an hour.
While we were waiting I found a book that resembled a phone book but was full of different computer parts for sale from some company and my dad showed me this thing called Hubble Heritage on the Internet, it was a bunch of cool pictures that the Hubble Space Telescope took . My dad went out for a minute, when he came back in he said that my grandpa was out in the parking lot, we went outside and got my suitcase out of my dads truck and put it in my grandpas car. Before we left we all talked about the Hubble Heritage stuff together. Then we had to go, as we drove away I waved for a long time. When we got to my grandparents (who we call Mimi and Papa) I left my stuff in the car, then Mimi met us at the front door. At their house I started writing this story on my blog, I was going to look up that Hubble thing but I forgot to. Before we left for the airport Papa gave me a pack of gum (which helps my ears not feel like their about to explode on the plane). Mimi then drove us to the the Pensacola, Fl airport (only Papa and I were going). When we got there we pulled up to the drop off area got out, got our stuff said goodbye and went inside the airport.

Story (prototype)

2008-08-05T10:36:00.001-05:00

I woke up this morning at 5:00AM and stayed in my bed till I heard my dad get up, then I jumped up, ran into the living room where I had laid out my clothes for today the night before, and changed from my pajamas into my Boy Scout shirt and a pair of shorts. I was going to Dayton, Ohio where my cousin's house is to have 11yr old scout camp at the nearby Camp Birch. Then my sister walked in. I finished getting dressed and then walked into the kitchen to meet my dad.
It wasn't long before my mom woke up, she asked me if I had my Boy Scout book or not (which would be bad if I left it here in Pensacola Florida since it's Boy Scout camp),I did have it. Then I put my blanket in my suitcase (hey, everyone grows attached to something.

I will finish the story around 5:00PM tonight

Ohio

2008-08-05T10:17:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't been posting, our computer broke. the last post was at the library. Today we woke up then we went to our grandparents house (it was really early), while our parents went on a trip to the Latter-day Saint Temple in Birmingham, Alabama.

Wednesday

2008-07-09T13:31:00.000-05:00

Today I woke up and read 'The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey'(Im almost done). Then my sister went to TeamLaws house again. And I started writing A new book,heres a preview.

THE PRINCE

Chapter 1

“Aw, come on Mom I don’t want to ‘follow in my fathers footsteps’”. Now Adram you know that since your father disappeared, the country has been running berserk” Said the 15 year old boy’s mother/queen of Adramia. “All he did was win a few battles and everyone wanted to rename the country Adramia” Snapped the boy/Prince Adram Winswada Corint Jr. “I doubt they’ll want to call it Adramia Jr.”. His mother laughed “You never know!”
Adram’s father and namesake disappeared when he was just four years old. He was raised by his mother, and taught to stand for the right.
Our subject walked through the palace, to his room. He lifted up his mattress and pulled out a ragged shirt and pants. He quickly switched from his Royal Wardrobe into the peasant clothes; he concealed his dagger and took it with him.
A ragged boy leaped from the prince’s 4th floor window, landed in a tree, shimmied down it. A group of guards just happened to be walking by with the dogs. They spotted the boy and released the animals. The boy (Adram) saw the dogs coming, but they were his and wouldn’t bite him. He ran to the wall surrounding the grounds, and climbed the lattice. He jumped into the moat, swam across and got out on the other side. Nobody noticed the dagger concealed so carefully among his robes. He was now in the city. This was where he went to get away from the flaws of being a prince: Latin and Greek lessons, geography and his least favorite the grumpy teacher Mrs. Dland.
As he walked through the streets something was different, he didn’t know what but he could sense it. The shopping was going on as usual, and the farmers had their produce. What was wrong? Suddenly someone screamed, and everyone scattered and ran inside.

Please give your true opinion.

Ta-da!

Museum day

2008-07-08T13:46:00.000-05:00

Today I woke up and wanted to go back to sleep, but then I rembered last night two books my mom h ordered came in. 'Tunnels' and 'The Mysterious Benedict Society: and The Perilous Journey'. I had started reading the latter, it is the sequel to 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' which I also read and is totally awesome. So I woke up and started reading. Then my family and I went to the T.T. Wentworth Muesum. There was a shipwreck, anchor, petrified cat, cool science projects and a big play room like a reneactment of 'New World' times. After that we went to the Pensacola Musuem of Art, which was boring and disturbing. Then we came home and ate lunch.

July 5

2008-07-05T17:50:00.000-05:00

Today we had some technical difficulties in everyday life today, plumbing broke down!! We went to my great-grandmother's belated birthday on the beach. We got there and went swimming then we went back up to the pavilion and I threw a water balloon at my uncles feet then he untied one and squirted me with it then I threw one at him, he ducked and it a girl standing behind him (bad times). Then we ate, had a water balloon fight and went swimming again. Then we went on a kayak! And went home...

2008-07-03T11:26:00.000-05:00

Hey y'all! 11:30AM and I guess the rest of the day will be as boring as this. Well my mom made us blueberry pancakes (she's never done that before, and we didn't even have to ask). Then I got my pogo-stick and for some reason ants were on the handle :(, I hope they felt the wrath of bug spray! Then I made this cool Lego Police/Grill/WiFi/Pool thing and It got destroyed by 1 of my 4 other siblings! This is like my own peaceful world. Then my grandpa came over and gave us some Ice Cream and popsicles, and we had to eat our ice cream 'w cones to make room. So I guess it wasn't boring just a little aggravating.

Hey. I didn't write yesterday because I forgot to. Today (again) I woke up and we, my grandma, my sisters friend and her mom went blueberry picking. The lady there has 3 cats and a dog (the dogs fur is real short so it looks like its stuffed). After that we went home and had a snack, then my grandma (who had came home with us) left. My mom and sister then went to a curriculum sale and came home with another one of my sister's friends. And know I'm writing this. I'ts been a pretty boring day.

These are WWII B-17. These planes were very tough (see pic. below). They can be hit and still go very far.

Yesterday I had a 'pack meeting/court of honor' for Scouts. I got my long time ago due for Cub scouts 'Leave no Trace' award and 'east' and 'west compass points' but not the 'compass points emblem' yet! For Boy Scouts I got my 'Scout' badge.
I woke up this morning and watched TV some then I had breakfast. After that my family and I went to the library and the store. I have to go the doctor tomorrow for my physical test so I can go to 11-yr old scout camp in Ohio with my cousin.

Hey, I don't have much time so this is going to be short. Today I woke up to the sound of the sound of my friends mom's voice. At first I thought I was dreaming,hen I walked into the living room and remebered that he was supposed to come over today. We played around then tried to launch my homemade rocket, but it wouldnt work. Then we played my Nintendo DS. My fourtune teller sister (HeHeHe) lost both of the pens so my friend said he would give me one. I'm trying to think of something to give him. After that we played Lego StarWars 2 for PC. Then he left. I'm going to Boy Scouts soon, but in my church theres Cub Scouts, 11-year old Scouts and Boy Scouts. I'm in choice 2 but I still have to go to choice 1 and they have 'pack meetings' but choice 2 and choice 3 have 'courts of honor'

Hey Ya'll! It's me Ethan. Today I woke up and finished (completly) building my homemade rocket. Then we ate breakfast, and waited for my grandpa (papa) to come and take us to the enlisted pool on base at NAS Pensacola. When we got there about 50 lifeguards around the pool having a class or something. They said we could go to the officers pool across the street. So we did. We swam and went down the slide and I played navy with my friend. I was the instructor, rank O-9, and my friend was the student, rank E-1. By the tine we left he was E-2 and a half. I went to his house and am while I am writing this (problay not while your reading this but you get the point).Before I wrote this we played my friends Nintendo DS.

Today

2008-06-23T13:18:00.000-05:00

Well heres todays official post. Today so far I
woke up with my mom telling us to "Get out of
bed!", and a feeling that today would a be a
school day I just got up took my blanket
and went in the bathroom to sleep inside
the cabinets under the sink- (hold on my
sister just made a fortune teller and asked me to
pick a color. I didnt look and said red, then I
looked and the only color was pink!)-well
after that I had breakfast then since I'm
homeschooled (like the kids are in
TeamLaws family) so I had to do a lesson
in math and language(it was strangely
easier than old times).Then we went
to the library. I forgot to tell you I've
been building a rocket, you should see
it. After we came home we watched a
movie and shucked the corn you read
about before, ate lunch, and now I'm
here. I'ts 1:35PM and it feels like 8:00AM.
The farm day seemed alot longer than
today and today seems alot shorter than
the farm day. Hold on a sec... ...We just
read 2 chapters in the Book of Mormon
(if you want to know what that is ask
TeamLaws. He's the only guy I know
on here and he's the leader of our
church building( ask him about that to)).

Hey, Hey I'ts a brand new day!
Well considering I'ts 1:00PM
probably not. Today my family
and I went to some farms in
Alabama (we live about 10
miles into Florida,Perdido
area). We picked blueberries
and left just as it started pouring,
it had been sprinkling earlier and
my shoes were soaked! Then we
went to a cheese farm they had
horses and an !!adorable!! Shetland
pony. They also had ducks,turkeys,
and wanna-be a turkey chickens. Then
we went to a corn farm and bought a
bushel of it and a bag of Red-eyed-purple
-hull beans. After that we went to check
out the local KampgroundOfAmerica-KOA-.
There was one when we lived in Milton,
Florida and it was so much better compared
to the one in Alabama(check it out yourself)
I'ts right on the border by (as I said) Perdido.

Hello everyone my name is Ethan (as you can see). I'm new to
this so if you have any hints or comments please write up. I am
a Boy Scout, and I'm trying to be an author but so far I've only
finished writing one 24 page book. I'm also going to attempt to
be the first and youngest person to circumnavigate the globe
in a hang-glider. I'm building a complex and almost impossible
to finish pedal-powered, motorless go-cart. Well I'll talk ya' later, Bye.
