Birthday!

Hey guys,
  Yesterday I turned 18 years old! I had a pretty good day driving around the state with Mom, doing a little bit of shopping in Bismarck, and at home with the family. :)  Thanks for the great time everyone. :)

  Right away in the morning Mom and I took off to go to the tiny little town of Zap to look at a dirt bike I was planning on buying.  Well when we got there it wasn't what I was told it was, so we just turned right around and headed back towards home.

  When we got to Bismarck, Mom took me out for lunch, then we picked up the injection pump for the combine which we were having worked on, and then we went to the powersports dealer and I gave myself a birthday present of a new snowmobile helmet and goggles for the season... :)

  Then we went shopping and bought a nice leather coat for me, and then went home. :)  When we got home, Cora had made home made pizza so we had a great supper! :)  I'll let you know what gifts I got later, but I'll just say one of my gifts was a toothpick... ;) 

  Until next time, Jacob B. :)

Birthday Time! :)

Hey guys,
  Long time no write again as usual, but I've been keeping busy with tearing my Land Rover engine down, having a birthday, stuff like that... :P  Yes, that's right, I just turned 17 yesterday!  I still don't know where time goes...

 As for my Land Rover, I've got it apart as far as I should, and I'm just waiting for parts to come so that I can start putting it all back together again...  It appears that it was the head gasket, so it should be a really cheap fix... :)

  So, yesterday, on my birthday, Cora brought the 2 little girls that she babysits over, and we had a good time watching them and watching a kids movie, and then she took them back over to their home after lunch.  After (a very good) lunch, Andrew and I went out to the shop and played ping-pong for about an hour and a half... :P

  So, for my birthday so far, I've been given, another good 3 hour long board game, called Aeroplanes; 3 movies; The Cricket in Times Square, Tom Sawyer, and Adventures of Huckleberry Fin; a book of cars from the 60's; and a guitar capo!  Thank you to my wonderful family! :)

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

Another driver in the family!

Hi guys,
  Yesterday, Mom and I went over to Linton so that I could take my road test to get my drivers licence!  They were running a little bit behind schedule, but when I did get around to taking the test, I past!  So now we all can drive by ourselves! :P

  Last night, Mom; Andrew; and Cora all went up to Bismarck to see a play of Fiddler on the Roof...  Dad and I stayed home and watched a movie because we don't like that kind of thing.....  When they got home at about 11:45, Andrew said it was prety good.

  On Saturday, we had a birthday party! :-)  It was just us and Dad's cousin, (I think) Jerome.  We had a nice time opening presents, visiting, and eating cake and ice cream! :P :D  Jerome also dropped of one of our stock trailers that he had borrowed.

  Today, Mom and Andrew are up in Bismarck; Dad is trucking again; Cora has been working on the carrot project; and I ave been doing my school work.  We also had to go outside and chase a couple of cows back in the fence and then go around and check the fence...

    Well, Cora wants some help with the carrots, so I will go.

  Jacob B.

Birthday

Hi,

On November 5th I turned 14, and I am here to tell you what I got for presents. :) Cora gave me a book called, "The Art of Woodburning"; a talking book called, "Nory Ryan's Song"; & a movie called, "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo." The movie was very funny!

Andrew gave me 1 gift (a very nice one though), and that was a Saitek AV8R flying joystick :) I use it when I fly on Flight Simulator for those of you who don't know what a joystick is used for.
Dad & Mom gave me the new shotgun; a pair of new gloves; the expansion pack for flight simulator; & Andrew & I went on a hunt to find 12 pairs of socks! Mom had hid them in places that are warm or could provide heat.

Well, I had better get going.

Jacob
