The shop is wear I go to find peace weather its to work on something tht needs to be worked on, or I can always find something when im am bored. I Like it because I enjoy wrenching on things and getting a bit dirty. There is nothing wrong with getting dirty.

            The shop is my happy place sometimes I can be alone putting in new parts for my pickup or just messing around. The shop is much better than sitting outside freezing my but of in the snow.  The shop is much cleaner than the floor of outside. The shop makes everything go so much smoother than it would be outside

            Just recently I put a ts performance chip in my pickup and it took 2 hours. I’m thankfully I didn’t have to lay on the cold ground outside. When I got the chip in and started the pickup it filled the whole shop full of black smoke, raw fuel.

            I like being in the shop learning new things with my dad. Every day I am in the shop I always learn something new. Weather its from messing up and doing the wrong thing or figuring up before. I learn by making mistakes in the shop sometimes they are really bad mistakes you cannot fix and some are easy to fix.

            I really love being in the shop with my dad or just alone with the smell of grease and diesel fuel. The shop is wear I learn new things and enjoy doing them. So the shop is one f my happy places. Wear I go sometimes to to find peace

Bradenton beach

Bradenton Beach

          “Splish, splash” the sound the wave make when they hit the soft silky sand. I love the beach it give off many things for people to enjoy. Like the wonderful warm water, the nice things you can find on a beach, and it is a very relaxing place to go. The Bradenton beach is one of my favorite beaches in my home state Florida.

                 The water at the beach is crystal clear like a diamond. I like to swim in the warm water, and I like to feel the little shells crunching under my feet. My sisters and I sometimes like to go deep into the water but not to far. We sometimes see many cool things in the water like Jellyfish, Starfish, Sea slugs, and many more interesting ocean creatures. I sometimes just sit and watch the little school fish swim around in a mannerly fashion following each other. I like to be in the water enjoying the salty water splashing against my skin.

                 I also enjoy the beach because of the cool things you can find washed up or just there. There are many things that hide in the sand at the beach. Like once, we found a dead Horseshoe crab washed up on shore. It was pretty amazing to us cause we had never seen one up close. I also like picking up cool shells I find at the beach some look really cool and some looks as old as the deep blue. Just to go to the beach and find all these cool things washed up on shore or just there is really amazing. 

       I enjoy just relaxing on the beach which is another one of my favorite reasons why I like going to the beach. Some times I like to go to the beach and smell the salt water wind. I like to feel the wind blowing in my face and enjoy the beautiful palm trees. Sometimes on a hot day you can almost feel the sun biting at your skin. It is nice to feel the the hot silky sand between my toes.

          The beach has always been my favorite place because of these reason. It is were a lot of family memories were created together. I just enjoy all the nice people and beautiful sea creatures you can see at the beach. The beach has always been something I can look back and tell someone all the reasons why the beach is my favorite place. 

A place I enjoy

A Place I enjoy.

Nothing is more blissful and thrilling than the one place where I can go to escape reality and just live in the moment. Content and sunny, no place like it. No place with more meaning to me. One that captures the of any eye heart- pounding, living soul that strolls by. This is the one place I enjoy…

From green to blue, colors are painted all around in the beautiful scenery that you take in when setting your eyes on the landscape around you. Dark and light greens brushed against the leaves on each branch, with rows abound rows of trees there is no escaping the adoration. Birds soaring and filling the joyful cotton-candy skies with excitement and love shouting from the mouths of every cloud in the sky. The blue streaked sky with the splatter with a tint yellow for the light of the world. Beneath each little toe there is sandy patches filled with stickers, which make it hard to run free without getting pricked and poked. Running through out this grass sounds like freedom but is it like running through a desert full of cactus. Although there are these some encounters that make you think about how good this place really is but there are many thing that overrule the decision of going here. 

The brisk smell of the breeze and the high pitches sounds of the trees whistling to a tune. Your ears get hot as start to pound so loud all the sounds and smells around you are overwhelming. Clucking or oinking, every animal with a different and unique voice. We don't have any exotic animals around here but we have pigs, chickens, roosters, cats, and of course our most beloved dogs. The animals around here is what make it pleasant to be visiting, there is nothing like a warm welcome from a loving creature. The acid and unpleasant smells penetrated my nostrils after each deep breath. Smell of omnivorous domesticated mammals that lie and sleep in their waste, but its hard to not love them. Cute little snouts and duck faces everywhere scampering with hooves and skinny toes, even in the smelliest places there is always a way to find love. 

Bursting with excitement, no thats not right, it’s more than that I get chills going up and down my spine with cheeks hot and filled with adventure. I’m speechless and sometimes it hits me out of nowhere, all of a sudden. This overwhelming feeling of reaching the place I enjoy most, the place where I can spend time with my family whether it be eat christmas dinner or shoot off thousands and thousands of dollars of fireworks, even the small and simple things like sitting on the couch with my grandpa and having bonding time while watching some football. Going here is wonderful and peaceful because this is where my heart lies. This is my grandma and grandpas farm. This is their home and a home is not a place it is a feeling and this is one feeling I enjoy every small to big moment of. 

“ The best things in life are the people you love, the places you've seen, and the memories you've made along the way.” The love at my grandmothers and grandfathers farm has no high enough price. Here you learn to understand that you have to enjoy the little things, because when you’re in a moment you need to take advantage of it you will not get it back again. A farm is probably not the way most of you would choose to spend your typical weekend, although out here there are more things to bond with and remember than sitting at home on the internet. Underneath all those painting skies and birds flying high there are people that are in love with the land around them. I would rather have quality than quantity. 

The pond

I see it it is beautiful. The water glimmers from the sun. There is a thin layer of moss over the water I know fishing will be good. I look over where there is a tree in the water I see the water move, there is a huge fish in there. I walk over and rig my line. When I look around the pond I see many trees that have fallen into the water. The grass is tall and there are snakes every were in it. I have always loved fishing it is like my passion. I get to spend time with my father and we just always have a very good time. Fishing will always be dear to my heart 

Pasture

                 “Neigh” the sound of the horses when we go out to see them. I alway’s love going out to the pasture and being able to see my horses, and I love to feel free when i’m out there. When I walk in the pasture I go up to my horse and put my hand on him. He feels as soft as a cloud in there sky. I like to sometimes just walk around the pasture and see all the different types of things out there. During the summer I like to just relax and ride my horses through the pasture and during the winter time I like to just sit out there and watch them run freely. I have always loved just being in the pasture and enjoying all the different things around me.

Bass pro

Bass pro is heaven for a sportsman. There is everything a man could ever need or dream of. There are guns of all sorts’ guns for hunting and guns for home defense.

Right around the corner from the guns is the ammo. Ammo for anything you can think of. Then you go to the other side and they’re a great wall of fishing gear. There is every time of poles you can think of from bait casters to open faced rods and ice fishing rods. There are pinfish poles, Bass poles and deep sea fishing poles. Then there are the lures. There are to many lures to count. There are plugs, spinners, top water frogs and ice fishing gear. There is so many things in bass pro I could probably live there, I love bass pro

First Pair of Boots

               “Bang” the sound of the door being closed on a hot summer day. I woke up to see the amazing sunshine shining through the windows of the house. I knew today would be the last day being able to see the beautiful view of Belvedere, South Dakota, but I would wake up never knowing what was going to happen later. I got ready to get ready to go back home when my grandma’s friend Roy gave me his pair of boots I was happier than pigs in mud. (I could not believe it; I had gotten my first pair of boots.)

             I knew how much Roy loved those boots, and how he keeps everything he loved close to him. Roy had many pair of boots and loved them all. “He never let anyone wear or have anything of his stuff before”, my grandma told me. My reaction to the boots at first was there’s no way he give me a pair of boots that are over two hundred dollars, but he did. I had never seen a man like Roy that would keep all his things to himself, but he does sell things when he has to which is once in a blue moon. That’s why when he handed them to me I felt like the whole world paused just for a moment; I was confused and happy all at the same time.)

             Roy would never let anything of his go to anyone he just meet, and I hadn't known Roy very long only for the four days we stayed there at his house. My grandma likes to tell me stories of how he never let anyone use or even have his stuff. I had always imaged Roy as a giving person, but he just likes to give things to people he can trust or depend on. He never had given a pair of boots like that away, but I was shocked when he handed me the boots. I had never know of anyone that was like that until I met Roy and he gave me his favorite pair of boots.)

          Never in my life would I have imaged that I would of gotten a pair of boots from someone so conserved.  I had never gotten a pair of boots before in my life, and I couldn't be any happier than how I felt when they were handed to me. I had always asked my mom and dad for a pair of boots, but they could never get them. When they were handed to me I took one look at them and felt like the happiest girl in the world. You can tell they had there days around the pasture and they had looked to old as the ocean, but I slipped them on and I could feel like I if they were brand new. Just to walk around in them I felt good and proud. Roy looked at me and said “You can have them just until your grandma or mom can buy you a new pair of boots.” I told him “ok” then went on getting packed up to go back to O’Neill, and much as I didn't want to go back I had to.)

              Still today I wear them a lot even though I got a new pair of boots. I always wear them to go see my horse Dakota, and I always feel good climbing into the saddle with my those boots. I always look at them and remember the good time out at Roy’s house and wish that I could go back and do all those fun things again. I would never forget that day out at Roy’s house for the rest of my life.)

7.3l powerstroke

Descriptive essay

Jan 8

“Rooarrrr”my pickup sounds like a freight train. MY pickup is a Manuel 2000 ford f250 7.3-power stroke. It is white with a black Hillsboro flatbed. (The first things I’ve ever done to it was put blue lights under the dash and a ford stirring wheel cover the lights took me five minutes but the steering wheel cover took two people to get it on). The second

            Another thing I put on it is (Wilson mud flaps) I got at my grandpas truck lot in a trashcan. Another thing is my police scanner it tells you when there’s an ambiance, fire truck, or cop.

            Another thing I put on is a (ranch hand cattle guard). That was probably the hardest to do because I had to do it by myself. I had to raise it up with a cherry picker and hold it still while tightening the bolts. Took me about a half hour

            The last thing put on is a tip. It is a (four-inch inlet to a 6-inch outlet). This took my 2 min. all I did was bolt it on to the stock exoughst I already had. Now it will break your eardrum with the window down. I just ordered a 7.3 six position chip  for a 94 to 03 Manuel or automatic. The settings are stock, high idle, first 50 hp, next 75hp, then 100hp, and finally 140 roaring ponies under the hood now. I also ordered some glow shift gages to watch my boost transmission temp and exoughst temp

            This (pickup means the world to me) because all the long nights working on it and putting all of these things in. so a lot of blood sweat and tears have went into it but I’m still not finished with it. The very first time I saw it I said “well it’s a diesel so I like it”.
