Fun Stuff

My writing teacher is now making me write essays on my blog about random words, current events, and topics. This should be interesting, bear with me.

Duwa's Auction

The big auction in our neck of the woods happened last Friday. Duwa's Auction is the biggest spring and fall consignment auction in this area. A lot of the items have been there a time or two before. Most of it is junk, rusty, beat up, rebuilt (the second time), overhauled and maybe usable if you would put a little time into it.

Now for what I bought down there: I found a later model John Deere 60. I have been looking for one of these for about 2 or 3 years but haven't found one in decent shape at a decent price. Friday I did and now it's parked in my driveway waiting to go to Grandpa's for a tune up. Then it will set with an auger on it this fall during harvest. Over the winter it will get a full restoration and also be a 4-H project.

I also Picked up a few bikes and a weight bench (Mom was thrilled since I still need to get rid of the other one).

Brock came home with some chicken cages and a few other nick-knacks. Bridgette was very happy when we came home with a goat milking stand that we bought for $5.

It was wet, cold, slow and all around just a miserable day of junk selling. On the bright side I have my first tractor. I'm ready for it to quit raining and dry out so we can harvest. Then I can hook my tractor up and hear it run.

Knife Wounds

Due to a request by my aunt (sorry I only have one favorite aunt now because i never see the rest of them but if I do end up in the middle of the ocean because of you you will be back to #2) i will tell a the best knife story I have.

This happened a few summers back while I was making a spear or something like that. I had a very sharp knife and was cutting all the little branches of of this stick. The knife was sharper than i thought and cut though the branch and slashed my wrist. Not a good thing to do. I was kinda freeking out because I had not had a cut that bad or bleeding that much before. I ran inside and showed mom and she started freeking out too. we called grandpa because mom was the only adult at home, and someone needed to take me the the E.R. to get stiches. luckly Grandpa was at home and came up and took me to the E.R. to get my stiches. When we got there everyone kept asking me how I cut myslef. After a while I realised that they thought I was trying to commit suicide. Finaly i got stiched up and came home with five stiches and a cool scar.

Was that a good enough story almost #2 aunt,

I'm Still Alive

Hi everybody who has asked me to post again, I've been a little busy the last few weeks. Since the last post I have bought a big red cow, gone to an Iowa football game and worked at home. We also took a little vacation to a water park.

Not much else is goin' on around here. I have a new job as a gardener for the single neighbor lady (she's pretty good looking and is also looking for a man in her life).

The weather has been very moody, 80 one day and 60 the next, rainy then sunny, kinda like a box of chocolates, you never know what 'ur gonna get.

hmm what else,
(me) STINKY,
(stinks) What.
(me) Have I done anything exciting the last couple weeks.
(stinks) No your boring.

I'm not wrestling this year because I want to show cattle.

I guess thats it. I'm taking ideas for post topics if anybody wants to know anything about being the oldest of nine ask.
