My new tank!

Hey guys,
  So during the Black Friday sale for World of Tanks, I decided to pick myself up a KV-5! (click here for full technical details of the ingame machine)  Mom decided it would be a good topic for a blog post so here goes. :)

  The main reason why I wanted this particular tank was because I had been told that it made LOTS of credits, more then other tier 8 premium tanks, and that sounded very tempting, another reason, it has the most hit points of all the tier 8 heavies as far as I know.

  The gun is pretty bad, but it will do pretty decent damage when you penetrate.  The armor is good, but its loaded with weak spots.  However, there's more then just 1 way to deal damage in this game... :P

  This tank is literally MADE for ramming.  It weighs *gasp* 100 metric tons *gasp* and when going downhill can get up to 40 kilometers per hour. even on normal ground it will move fairly well though, because it has a 1200 HP engine... O.O

  I don't really like the fact that the tank is as big as a barn, but hey, when you have 280 more HP then the next best tier 8 heavy, you kinda expect it to be big...  So far I like the tank, I don't always do the best in it, but it's fun nonetheless.

  Here's a goodbye picture of my new beast. :)

 

  I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B. :)

School is back in session... -_-

Hey guys,
  So Mom has officially started school now, so you all can expect a wall of text from me most every week day for a while now...  I'll at least try to keep it interesting to read if at all possible... :P

  So yesterday Dad; Andrew and I worked on cleaning out a little hopper bin and grinding some grain into ground feed for the milk cow and other animals, and putting it in said bin that we cleaned out...
That kept us busy most of the day, Mom went to town and Cora stayed home and worked around the house.

We are finished with our corn harvest thankfully, we got a lot of it in bins, took several truck loads to town and have a pile on the ground as well.  We're busy getting stuff ready for winter, we got the cows moved home as well, but they still have to be sorted and worked...

  Andrew has been working on repairing more vehicles in his spare time, along with harvesting a neighbor's crop as well, but stuff has started to slow down a little bit, so I'm sure we'll be working on winter vehicle projects again this year... :)

  I still play World of Tanks a lot in my spare time, if anybody else plays WoT, give me a comment, maybe we could platoon sometime! :)  Anyways, I'll talk to you all later, have a good day.
