On Monday, I put up our fake Christmas tree. It is 9ft tall and it weighs a little over 70 pounds. It is made of four sections. It has three different light modes: white, multi color, and slowly changing from white to multi. We had to get a new tree because the one we gotContinue reading “Our Christmas Tree”

Last month, I 3D printed a cat feeder for our cat, Angus. The one I chose to print has three parts: a funnel with a tray for him to eat out of, a tank to hold the extra food, and a lid. I printed the lid and funnel with black filament. I ran out ofContinue reading “Our Cat’s Feeder”

A few months ago, I made a bed for our cat out of some shelves. Then, a month or two later, I put a second floor and an attic on it. He usually sleeps on the second floor because he can look out the window. He used to sleep on the bottom until I addedContinue reading “Our Cat’s Bed”

On Christmas of 2022, we got a 3D printer. It’s an Anycubic Kobra Max. It can print 17 inches tall and has a 15 by 15 inch base. It can print PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU filament. Here I’m printing one of nine pieces for a Scrap Mechanic piston made by Fizz_Mechanic3D that I foundContinue reading “Our 3D Printer”

In the last two weeks of September, I made a marble run. A marble run is like a rollercoaster but for marbles. The run I made has three tracks and is powered by an XL motor. It is five feet six inches tall and made of Lego Technic. I made it so it could breakContinue reading “Marble Run”

Last month, I made two different Lego creations. I made a tank with a working turret and two mechanical arms. The tank is remote controlled and the turret can aim up and down, spin 360 degrees, and shoot 11 darts in about two seconds. One of the mechanical arms has pneumatic (air powered hydraulics) claws,Continue reading “My Legos”

Today, in my Civil War book, I read about the Confederate general Thomas J Jackson. He was born in 1824 and was raised an orphan by relatives in Virginia. He was raised without education and was at a disadvantage when he entered West Point. With a lot of work, he managed to graduate. When theContinue reading “Book Report Part 1”

Last Saturday, I bought a Nerf Rival Kronos, a vest set, a gun sling, and a Nerf Dart Rover. Yesterday the vest set, Dart Rover, and Kronos came, and tomorrow the sling is coming (the back sling I got is the only one I could find that fits the Infinus). Then in a few days,Continue reading “Nerf Stuff And Battery Hacks”

In our toy room, we have a storage rack full of Nerf guns. I have the Rampage, Infinus, Sidestrike, a Triad, and I’m going to get a Kronos, and when I can, a Titan. Ben has an ECS-10, two Double Strikes, a Triad, a Jolt, the Rhino Fire, and the Nemesis. Hank has the Judge,Continue reading “Our Nerf Guns”

A couple weeks ago, my grandma ordered my brothers, Chuck and Frank, scooters so that when our cousins, Regan and Danny, come, they can all ride scooters together. Then earlier this morning, our grandma and aunt came over with the scooters. Our aunt rang the doorbell and didn’t know Frank was asleep so he wokeContinue reading “Scooters”
