Little Adventure

I had a bit of an adventure this morning. I was mowing the lawn when Mom had me get off the mover to sign some enrollment papers for school. When I was done I walked over to the mower to get on it and I noticed that the deck of the mower was on fire! I killed the engine, ran onto the deck (not the mower deck, the wooden one behind the house), beat on the glass for Rachel to unlock the Perpetually-Locked Door, yelling "Open this door NOW!!!!!" grabbed the fire extinguisher, ran back out and put out the fire. Apparently, some grass clippings had collected on the deck and had somehow (its pretty hot outside) caught fire. Luckily, the fire never made it to the gas tank. The mower, aside from some melted plastic, appears to be fine, not that I've checked since I put it out

halo 3

Well, I've changed my avatar to reflect the release of halo 3-now it has black mage from 8-bit theatre charging up for a mighty Hadoken-but I will not stray off topic. Like i said before, halo 3 has finally come out, i have played it, and, in netspeak, it is "teh roxors!!!!!" But seriously, it really is great. Buy the game. I don't care if you cant afford it, buy it anyway, and prepare to have an "r" tattooed to your index finger for a really long time.

In other news, the play thing happened and what happened to me was, i was messing around with a hatchet in the woods near our house, and i was far away enough that i couldn't hear mom and everyone else calling me, and mom and the girls left because they couldn't be late. Dad was going off in a hopeless endeavor to try and find me, but by that time i was on my way home and caught him on the way out. Anyway, he got all ticked and i can only imagine what would happen if i had decided to come home a few minutes later. But everything worked out fine in the end. I even found a cool pocketknife in the woods!

    We were really glad to see you when you and your dad got to the play! Grandparents worry about their grandkids when no one knows where they are. Love you Grandma

    Maybe life wouldn't be boring if you'd go to "stupid camp" and experience the real-life world instead of buying new game systems
