Random Ramblings

Hi,
I have been thinking about what to write to you about today, and now I just forgot what I was going to write. :-( I just got in from helping Andrew and Dad on the cleaner, and now it will probably be time for math when I am done here.

Dad got home a little while ago with some electric motors, pulleys, belts (the wrong ones), advice, and a whole lot of other assorted goodies! So, that should keep all of us guys busy for a while, but when we're all done, it should be quite the rig!

Gotta go,

Fish

Hi,
Today, I will tell you what I know about keeping fish. (With Cora's advice) You feed them 2 or 3 times a day; change a fourth of their water every other week; add some "biological filtration booster" stuff every week to maintain good bacteria; install a filter, heater and thermometer at the beginning and change the filter inside the filter every other week; and maintain water temperature of 70 to 80 degrees; and watch your fish forever. ;-)

Anyway, that's all I know about keeping fish, except that, you can only add 5 new fish every week, up to a maximum of 1 inch of adult fish per gallon of water in the tank. Oh, today i finished my math book, and will be going on to algebra tomorrow. :-)

Gotta go,

My 50th post.

Hi all,
This is my 50th post! I know it doesn't seem like all that much, but for a person who doesn't like writing, it is a lot. Well, I will be starting algebra on Thursday, so I am wondering if that will be as bad, better, or worse then what i have been doing now.

So, today has pretty much consisted of chores and school for me, but i will go out to help Andrew and Dad on Andrew's cleaner when I am done, and hopefully, everything will go good out there too. Millie, our dog, just started a cat fight, which resulted in two very hissy cats, and one very happy dog, but it sounded pretty funny.

Gotta go,

Jacob

News at 10:00, with your host, Jacob. ;-)

Hi everybody,
I decided to tell you, more or less, about what has happened in the past few days. Starting with the old news, Cora got some fish last Wednesday, Dad ordered a generator for his grain cleaner, I got my guitar, Cora had her birthday, got an aquarium and other stuff too.

Now for the recent news. I have been making good progress in school these past few days, I have been helping out on Andrew's grain cleaner, which is coming along nicely. (for more info on grain cleaner progress, visit Andrew's blog at :http://andrewbornemann.blogspot.com/)

Now for next week's forecast. Dad's generator should be coming soon, I will be starting algebra in a few days, Andrew's cleaner should be getting close to done, and, as always, chores will continue. :-)
