Graduation speech

Hi all,

It's been a week since I graduated! Wow, time sure flies!

I am finally getting around to posting some videos from my Graduation. We have been very busy around the farm, trying to get all the sunflowers planted, and getting ready for haying season.

Here is part one of my speech:




And here is part two:





More videos soon.... Enjoy!

Graduation!

Well, It's over. I'm graduated. Do I feel any different? Nope.

I don't know how to start telling about it, so I guess I will just start at the beginning of the day, and work my way through. :-)

In the morning, we got up and did our chores, then came in and took our showers, etc. We got a lot of stuff packed up in our van, and then headed over to the Braddock Community Center, which is where we had the party. We finished setting up the tables, blew up a bunch of balloons, got the food warming, and did other last minute things to get ready...

Most of the people started showing up around 2:00, and we were pretty much ready by then. I stood close to the door, and greeted people, as well as showed off some of my Lego inventions that I had taken over there for that purpose. :-) We were planning on starting the program at 2:30, but we were having a little trouble with the sound system, so we didn't get started till about 2:45. Here is a picture of the flier we had printed out to give to people.

That about says how the program progressed. I was not really looking forward to giving a speech, but it actually went better than I had thought it would. :-)

I had a very good time with a lot of my friends, even though several of my best friends couldn't come. Overall, it was a very nice day.

Check my Mother's and my Sister's blog for a much more detailed overview of the day, as I don't like to write as much as they do. :-) And there's not much sense in writing things twice. Also, while they are writing on their blogs, I will be posting some video clips to YouTube, so check back later for some video clips, and more pictures from the program. :-)

My new wheels

Well, I'm back!

I have been busy on the farm,

working in the fields,

and fixing the tractor, etc...

Now it's time to play!

Here is a picture of my new "Toy".

It is a 2002 Kawasaki KDX200. I just got it yesterday, so I haven't had much time to ride yet. I bought it from a guy in Fargo, but I picked it up in Eureka SD. How? I have an uncle who lives in Fargo, and he was coming down to Eureka anyway, and he was nice enough to bring it down for me! We were going to Eureka for my cousin's graduation anyway, so we didn't even have to make a special trip!

I took a ride on the bike before we loaded it up, and that's when these pictures were took:

It is definatly a lot nicer bike (and a lot taller!) than my other bike, which is a 1994 KE100:

Hey! I'm Back!

Hi all of you out there!
Guess what? I'm still alive! LOL I am sorry for not posting in soooooo long, but I have been excessivly busy........ I finished cleaning grain (for now) last Monday. It was a lot of work, and a lot of headaches, but it was a start in business, and I didn't mind making some money either. :-)

Last Friday we chased our cows up to our summer pasture, which is about 4 miles up the road. The cows were rather hungry, and kept on wanting to stop and eat grass in the ditch. :-) I think my sister has posted some pictures on her blog, as she has been keeping up with blogging in her spare time. We did eventually get them up there, and now someone has to drive up there and check them every day... Oh, did I mention the road is impassable with a 4x4 pickup? We have to drive our dirt bikes up to check them, but it is fun really. :-)

The past couple of days Dad and I have been working on cleaning out the lots, and spreading a lot of manure on one of our fields. Farming isn't always fun, and certianly doesn't always smell good!

Got to go,

Goodnight!

Grain Cleaning

Hi all!

I am currently standing around watching the grain cleaner, so I thought I would try writing a blog post on my iPod. It probably won't get posted until tonight when I get home, but I guess that will have to be good enough.
Sorry for not posting more often, but I have been very busy cleaning grain, and with Grandma's funeral, etc. I am enjoying cleaning grain, as it really isn't very hard, and I can make a lot of money!
It is rather hard to write a long letter on my iPod as the keyboard is very small. Here is a picture of the screen as I am typing this.



The weather today is a lot nicer than it was yesterday. Right now it is sunny, about 45 degrees, with a fairly cold wind from the West. Yesterday it was quite a bit colder, the sky was cloudy, and it sprinkled on and off most of the day; not nice weather to be standing outside in!
More later,
Andrew B.
