This week i had a pretty good week my favourite thing this week was going down to whenua to help Blake with his writing,I liked it alot this week because me and blake had a good story and it was just fun to work with him.A bad thing about this week was that I was in like four maths workshops and I hate going to them.This week we also started our book worms and I have alreading completed four of them so i am looking foward to try winning the compitition.Other than that I had a good week and i loved it i am also looking foward to not going to school tomorrow.

My Tow Job =)

Today I am towing my Drift Trike Elmo because the back wheel has no pvc on it and the tyer is flat,The reason i'm towing it home is because you can't ride on a punctured tyre.Last night I made a trailer so that I can tow my Drift Trike, this trailer has two bits on the side so that the two back wheels can sit on it.I am going to use straps to hold the front wheel from turning and I am also going to use straps to hold down the back axle.Hopefully this goes as planned and tows well,I have already strapped the front wheel and have almost strapped the back up.Only one of my friends believe in me so I am hoping to prove everybody wrong.My plan is to tow Elmo home so that I can fix it and get new pvc for him,When I fix this I will be very happy.I am mostly annoyed at the fact I only just got new bearings for Elmo,Now I already have to do another job on him.At morning tea we should get this finished then I will test drive it and hope my tow job works.

Word Of The Week

This week was a good week,this week we re-positioned our avatar on the Tuakana Teina wall.Also this week I went to two PE sessions and they were both great both times we played jet ball.I love playing jet ball especially when there is lots of players.A minus of this week will be that the teachers took every ones name of the Tuakana Teina wall so we can think about more,That is annoying me because it took me a term to get on Tuakana.

My Drift Trike Advertisement (Kermit)

      Kermit the Triad  Underworld 2 Drift Trike is for sale at $175.The back wheels are looking a bit thin and there are like two little paint chips also there is one bolt out of six i think is missing from the rim to the pipe on the back right wheel but I have not had any problems with it, but other than that Kermit is in good condition.The brake pads still have a lot of meat left and the front wheel has still got lots of tread.Kermit has an adjustable seat so it can move from the front of the Trike to the back for taller and shorter people adults in their early twenties and children upto 7 can ride this.All the framework is still good and there is only a little bit of rust on a couple of bolts.I have only had Kermit for about 6 months.
