I guess it was too windy out. The track meet I was suppose to go to today has been postponed until Thursday. Today's practice was a pretty hard one. 12x400M. We were doing it on a straight away, instead of track, because of the wind. I was pretty tired afterwords.
The batteries on my GPS have finally died. This is the first time I will have had to change them since I bought my GPS last October.
On that note is rather a bad time for them to go dead. A geocache near my house that had been missing for a while was repaired yesterday and now I can't look for it. I also had a cache that I wanted to find on the way to or from my piano lesson but that also had to be scratched.
I'm currently at 27 caches found. I introduced my younger cousins to geocac
Or what ever color slip they give you when you don't have a job anymore.
When I went into work today I was told that next week will be my last week on job. That's not as bad as it sounds though. I'm not losing my job because I did a terrible job but because there isn't any work for me to do. I guess now the sour economy has finally hit home.
My boss said he would be writing an a letter of recommendation, and if things ever pick up they would look at rehiring me. So that's probably one
Sunday was the second meeting of my Boy Scout National Jamboree Troop. I'm really starting to look forward to going to the Jamboree. We elected all of the youth leaders for the trip. I wanted to be the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader but I'm not as out going as the other people who ran so ended up not getting that position.
Both the people who were elected seem like good leaders and I think they'll end up doing a good job. I got elected to be my patrol's patrol leader.
BTW, If there i
For those of you who have an interest in the LEGO Racing Challenge, Brickgirl has posted another update. This one is rather late since the Gold Launch which was suppose to happen over a week ago didn't happen.
Found Here
Hopefully the Gold Launch will happen on this new date. The banner I made won't even work anymore since it said April. I also hope they reset everything. One, because it will give me a chance to keep up with the leaders and 2 because there are quite a few people who
In 2010 I'm going to be going to the National Scout Jamboree. I'm also going to be touring Washington DC. Last weekend I met with the people who I am going to be going with. I'm one of the oldest people in my troop (the group of people I am going with). I think I'm going to run for Senior Patrol Leader but I have until the middle of April to decide.
I'm also going to try to get into the Order of the Arrow next time my troop has OA elections. I've been putting that off for too long and re
Okay, maybe not in reality but I can legally.
It took my permit test this morning. It went really well. I passed with 97%. The one question I got wrong probably wasn't to bad of a mistake.
I'll be taking 2 hours of behind the wheel on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to do a little driving with my parents before then.
After waiting over two years I'm finally going to be able to get my permit. My Mom picked up my blue card yesterday and I'll probably be going to take the permit test on Thursday. I am so excited. I'm finally going to be able to start driving.
My dad is probably going to be buying a small car to drive. Originally he was going to get a Beetle but that idea has pretty much died. I don't really care what he gets as long as it doesn't look terrible.
I was in Walgreens the other day looking at batteries. (I was thinking about getting some but the prices for the kind I needed weren't very good.) They had some quadruple A batteries. I'm curious does anyone have something that takes AAAA Batteries? I have never seen this type before.

I suppose I would have to make this post. I get to spend Valentines Day by my self. In fact considering the circumstances it's probably a good thing I'm spending it alone. I was up almost all of last night sick. Ugh! Not Fun!
A person I know summed up Valentines day for a lot of people.
I tried to send a card to the girl I like back on Thursday. Whether or not she got is questionable. I gave it to my mom to give to her mom to give to her. I have no idea if she got it. I included my e-mai
I'm now Premier Member.
I've almost been on BZPower for a year now. In that time I've only posted about 220 time and made three Topics. In this blog I hope to post interesting stuff. None of those 1 or two line entries that I've seen on some peoples blogs.
I'm going to be heading up to my grandparents cabin for my family's annual 4th of July trip. Normally we would have already made a couple of trips up there, but because my siblings decided they had to do organized sports this summer that hasn't happened.
It should be a fun time. We'll probably go swimming almost every day. I also hope to make the trip to clean up the rest of the island geocaches I hven't found. I also want to take a trip to a nearby state park, which for some odd reason,
When I got home from my vacation there was a message on my answering machine from the camp I spent most of my summer at.
It turns out that they didn't have enough people to fill out a special program they're running again this year. Since I was a CIT last year they offered to let me participate for free. The program is all things emergency preparedness. It should be a good time. I'm getting Red Cross CPR and Wilderness First Aid. I'm also getting a couple of merit badges.
I'm leavin
I've been slowly cleaning my room over the last two days. I really want to get all the way done this time. Every time I start I get half to three quarters done and then I stop. I have to disassemble all of my current LEGO creations so I can get my LEGO Bricks put away. I also have a lot of stuff lying around on the floor that I have to find space for. I cleaned up the area (outside of my room) that I was using for school work and I found my boyscout folder I have been missing for the longes
My family's current router died over the last two days. Yesterday morning our internet died, as usually we blamed it on our (un)reliable internet service. After trying to fix our internet connection with their tech support which failed, my dad ended up resetting the router last night. All was well until about 9:00 A.M. this morning. The internet went out again. After bypassing the router my dad was able to get connected on his laptop.
Right now we only have one computer hooked up to the
I recently got a new MP3 player. My old one is probably on its last life right now.
Picture
The old one is black and the new one is the nice teal color. The old Nextar has a number of problems. It seems like the components behind the big silver button have shifted so the button is at a funny angle. Although you can't see it in the picture, the slider thing used to switch songs is also pretty much broke. It's jammed so that unless your concentrating when you try to switch songs you'll
For the first time ever, I have the house completely to my self. It's only going to be this way for one night though. I get to drive up to my grand parents cabin tomorrow after work. It should be pretty interesting.
I know the way to get up there, and it's a pretty straight shot (get on a road and don't get off it), but I don't think I ever driven up there before, even with my parents. I rode up there a lot, but being a passenger and drive are completely different. I'll probably get the
I got my one year spinny about 2 weeks ago. Some how I missed blogging it when I got it.
It's weird though. When I joined a year ago I never thought I would end up paying. I guess that's how life goes.

My brother had his birthday party today. He got the Thunder Raceway LEGO set. After looking at it I'm not to excited so I'll probably add it to my sets waiting to be reviewed along with the two sets I got yesterday.
Monday night My boy scout troop is having a hobby fair. I'm going to be doing a display on LEGO. I'm almost finished building the display. I'll probably post pictures of it sometime next week.
One more week until I have to go back to class. This should be a fun semester. I'm taking Introduction to Rhetorical and Analytical Writing, which probably won't be the funnest class. I can write, and both my papers from last year got pretty good grades, but I don't have fun doing it.
That's balanced out though by the fact I'm taking Trigonometry and Introduction to the Engineering. Both of those are going to be pretty fun. This will probably be the last fun semester for a while though,
Apparently the weather where I live didn't get the memo that it's now spring.
Where I live we got about 7 inches of snow. It snowed about 5 inches yesterday morning. Then it rained in the afternoon. Then it snowed again this morning. Hopefully it melts quickly because I don't want to go slushing through muck on Saturday when I go Geocaching.
So yesterday my Boy Scout Council had a centennial celebration as a fundraiser for the people going to the Jamboree.
We had a rib dinner as the main fundraiser. I helped with the first cooking on Tuesday morning. They then grilled them and added sauce last night and they were good. I'm not sure how many tickets they sold but they must have had a bunch of people go through. All the Jamboree people got 10 tickets to sell, and I think (or at least hope) every one sold all or most of their ti
My library finally purchased The Small House Book by Jay Shafer, which is weird, because they originally told me it wasn't available to purchase. I'm not going to complain though. =P
I'm starting to read through it and there is some interesting stuff in it. I like most of the houses Jay has designed, although I don't think I would be able to live, long term, in one of his tiny houses. I would have go with one of his small houses. 250 to 900 sq. ft is appealing to me though. Enough room
