by Sparky
Nathan came to stay with us fer a little
while, cuz it was like a summer camp here except it was in the
winter. Anyhow, me and a lot of the other guys started pestering
him so he would get us snacks and other goodies, but he didn't have no
cash and I wasn't about to give up any of mine, so he jest wasn't no
help in that area.
He did con the old folks into
buying some junk food at the store, so then we could get him to help us
out in our perpetual hunt fer junk food.

The first real wipeout |
| The
photos above show Nathan's new skateboard ramp that Caleb and Jim helped
to build. I was thinking about how I could drive my Acme Racecar
on it, but after I saw him crash I decided that if even an experienced
skateboarder like Nathan could crash that easy, I had better keep me and
my vehicles away from it.
Especially my Acme Racecar, cuz it
crashes very easily, and I have been very lucky about not getting
injured yet. |

| Here's a picture
of Nathan putting new blades in the snowmower (I think some people call
it a "Snowblower," but it does the same as a lawnmower does
with grass, so us guys call it a "Snowmower.") |

Here's a picture of Nathan
cleaning off the driveway with the "Snowmower."

 |
| Here's Nathan
plowing a racetrack out of the snow on the back deck, using Sparky's
Powerful Bulldozer. |
|
| Here's more
plowing cuz it's gonna be a reel long racetrack. |
 |
| Here's Nathan
finishing the racetrack by smoothing the path with one of Jim's cement
trowels, cuz his little tiny "Zip Zap" Cars will get stuck
reel bad if the track isn't exter smooth. In case you don't know
what kind of car that is, you ken jest click here to find out: Zip
Zap Cars |
 |
| The
sad truth: Zip Zap cars don't do very well in the snow cuz they have
such little tires, which are about the size of a button. In fact,
one of them hit a tater chip and got flipped over, without even breaking
the tater chip, so it's probably fair to say, "Don't try this at
home!"---Sparky |
Skateboarding
Little Guys
Nathan had some little tiny
skateboards that some of the little guys had some fun with. |

| "There
was some question about me getting on one of those little tiny
skateboards, but my feet are too big fer that, and the regular
skateboard like the kids ride is too big fer me, so that is why I didn't
take a ride on any of them skateboards. Also, I prefer motorized
vehicles like my Powerful Bulldozer and Powerful Steam Shovel, not to
mention my Acme Racecar."---Sparky |
Powerful Steam Shovel
|
| Well,
that's about it fer now. I have some more construction projects to
start planning so I ken get started as soon as the snow quits fer the
season. And I also have to do some maintenance on my Powerful
Steam Shovel and Powerful bulldozer.---Sparky |
