Lessons Learned on the Trap Range - Homeschool Blogger

Grrrrrreat!

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 09:40:00 -0600

This weekend was awsome! My dad and I went to Knoxville Friday for the Saturday football game between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Tennessee Volunteers, Where we were given a hotel room to stay in and a executive suite to watch the game in. The man that owns the suite also owns a frozen food company named Zartic. Mr. Mauer took us out to dinner in Knoxville Friday night at a place called the Copper Cellar which is seen as the best (and most exspensive) resturant in town. Saturday morning we walked to the stadium and watched the game in the east sky boxes.

It was a winning game so all is well!
Now I am off to finish up school.

PS. I still haven't gotten a deer. { :^(

The deer hunt!

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 10:00:00 -0600

Well Im back after the weekend. We didnt do much this weekend but deer hunt And hang out with my grandmother. I didnt get a deer but I did shoot AT one. I was sitting in the stand about 7 in the morning I havent seen anything all morning, Then all the sudden an 8 point buck walks out of the woods behind me and starts trotting off. I start making little noises trying to make him stop so I can try to get a shot off then finnaly he stops with his but to me, he turns his head and looks at me as if like I knew you were there all along. I shot right over his back. Hopefully he'll come back some day!

Adobe photoshop and Chicken coops!!

Wed, 8 Nov 2006 09:24:00 -0600

Last night the Kings came over, we ate pizza and watched election coverage on fox news. We got Adobe photoshop yesterday and I sat up until 11 pm last night switching peoples heads with different peoples body's taking pictures of mountains and making people stand on them so it was pretty funny. Here are some pictures of our chicken coop and our chicken tractor.

As you can see the chicken coop is a small building with an old chicken tractor attached.

This is the latest chicken tractor and our young laying hens, we are soon going to put hen boxes in the back of it. We actualy have nine but this was taken when we first had the new hen house, and some were in it.

Hope you like the pictures!

The Invisible Eggs!!!!!

Tue, 7 Nov 2006 09:53:00 -0600

I think my chickens are laying invisible eggs. Sunday we went and got 19 laying chickens that were given to us. The man that gave them to us said they were laying close to 24 eggs a day. We have had them for 2 days now and either their laying invisible eggs or he just wanted to get rid of them. We'll just keep feeding them and see if they were just stressed from moving into a new home. Hopefully thats it because I want to get into the egg business.

Check out this picture and see if you see any INVISIBLE eggs.

See ya later JOE

Well I know it has been a while since I posted so here it goes. I am helping build a duck blind for waterfowl season. It is 13 feet wide, 30 feet long, and has a place to pull your boat in under a canopy. Its small room will have heaters in it and the shooting platform is really big.

I just bought a pair of chest waders from Cabelas. I am hoping to get a job at another gun club down the road. The coolest thing of all is that on Nov 24 my dad and I are leaving for Knoxville, Tennessee to watch the Volunteers play! My dad's company is taking us to Knoxville, giving us a hotel room, taking us out to dinner, and letting us sit in an Executive Suite at the very top of the stadium.

Well I will try to start blogging more often { : ^)

Well last night we went and saw a movie. It was called Facing the Giants. It was a Christian move about a football team that hasn't had a winning season in over a decade and the coach and his wife are barely able to make ends meet, there car doesn't work half the time, they have a smell in there house that they cant figure what it is, The husband walks in the school to hear a bunch of higher ups talking about firing him. So basically hes having a hard time. I cant tell you much more than that or it might spoil the movie. All I have to say is the movie was very good!!!!!!!!!

Oh btw If your looking for a Really Cool 50 Sates Geography Curriculum or just a 50 States Geography book this is the one for you! Its called The Star Spangled State Book. The book is all color and has funny little clip art. check out this website www.homeroomeducation.com It was written by a personal friend and fellow blogger joelking My family is trying the curriculum this year and its Great!

Well I got back from vacation sunday and it was awsome! We left two saturdays ago and went to Asheville NC and spent the night halfway. We got up sunday morning and drove to Myrtle Beach SC. Monday we prety much just laid around exausted from the twelve hour trip. Tuesday we went and hung out at the beach during the day then at night we went to an amuesment park. Wednesday we went and saw the Ripleys Aquariam, I have to say it was pretty cool. Then afterwards we went and ate at a Italian resturant called Angelos, we even had a table side magician. Thursday we went and played at the arcade, swam in the ocean and went to a resturant that was very very good I just cant remember the name. Friday we did a bunch of things, to many to name. But that being our last night there we had to go to the amuesment park just one more time, after the amuement park i did a thing called the slingshot i will have a video of it tomorrow. Saturday after a bunch of packing we headed to berea KY where I was in a state trap shoot, I hit 22 out of 25 which wasnt good enought to place Then sunday we came home.
