My raspberry pi 3

  No it is not a pie. A raspberry pi 3 is an sbc(single board computer) or microprocessor that is the size of a credit card. It can be used for lots of things. It costs about $35. I got one for my birthday and I use it as a desktop computer. Since it is so small it obviously is not the fastest computer but it comes with Minecraft pre-installed.It also comes with Tetris and some other games.
   A lot of people have made robots with their raspberry pi's, and I could too if I wanted to but I don't have the materials or the time to make one. Another thing I could use to make a robot is an Arduino. An Arduino is a micro controller not a microprocessor which means that it can control the different parts of a robot easier, but can't be used as a computer like the raspberry pi 3. That is all the time I have today so see you tomorrow.

The Dog Blog; Post 3

           Welcome to The Dog Blog. Today I'm going to be talking about how to bathe your dog. Bathing your dog can be essential. Thats why you should know how to do it correctly.
            First of all, you need to know what kind of shampoo to use. Of coarse, there are probably hundreds of brands of shampoo for dogs. There are some very expensive shampoos for dogs like MD 10. If you have money to spare you might keep that in mind. But, say your looking for shampoo that is inexpensive. You can make your own. There are various shampoo recipes, with ingredients like dish soap or human shampoo (preferably babyshampoo), too vinager. Here's an recipe that I prefer: [1qt of water, 1cup of baby shampoo or dish soap (nontoxic), 1cup of white viniger, 1/3 cup of glycerine, and 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel].
             Now let's talk about the bathing itself. I would recommend using a sprayer attached to your shower. Don't want to get all your fancy towels wet or your dog dripping all around the house. Then spray your dog outside with a hose attachment. But it wouldn't be a good idea to fill the bath tub up, and stick your dog in for two reasonable reasons. For one, if you film the tub to much the dog might drown (freak accident, but happens). Another reason is that if you wash the dog in the water all the way up past your dogs chest, when your done bathing your dogs hair will be tangled. But there are exceptions such as if you are washing you dogs feet. You can fill up the tub up to its feet to wash of your dogs dirty feet.
             Once your done with the wash, a good idea is to try to blow dry your dog. I use a facility blower, which looks like a small portable vacuum only it blows instead. You can use a hair drier as well which are the small hand held blowers that blow hot air mainly used by us. Once your dog is relitivly dry, you can take advantage of the fact that there is loose hair. You can take a hair remover or what I call the hair rake to rake out any loose hair. It looks like a rake, but the 'teeth' of the rake look more like claws and it's hand held. A comb would work as well but not quite as well.
              Maybe next time you bathe your dog, you will remember these tips and hopefully, they help a lot.🐕🐶;-)

The Pumpkin Patch

      This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with some friends. While we were there we did a ton of cool stuff. We rode a barrel train, went down tons of slides, we drove cars that you pedal to go, went through a corn maize (I made it out first with my natural sense of direction ;) finally we jump on  a air pillow.
         My favorite part of the pumpkin patch was definitely the the cars because me and Katie jumped in a car together she was steering after laughing too hard we made a mistake. Katie turned the car and it rolled down the hill. We pushed it back up and laughed for a little while then set back on to our race to beat everyone else. Sadly we failed miserably.
       

The Corn Maize

      A few weeks ago me and my youth group went to a corn maize over by Buhler. So, I invited my friend Harley to go with me and she said "Yeah I'd love to go!!" So after a few days latter we finally got to the corn maize. There wasn't very many people there at the corn maize, so it wasn't to terribly bad. So we split up into small groups. My group was me, Harley, Cait, and my friend Emily Schmidt. So we went through the corn maize and were the first ones out so we went through again and were the last ones out because we got lost on purpose. And when we got out we told them that we were the first ones out so we went through again but nobody believe us.

     After we were done with the corn maize we went to Bogeys which is in Hutchison. And I got a hamburger, bacon cheddar wedges, and a peanut butter bacon shake which was amazing!  A we stayed at Bogey's for a while and then finally went back to the corn maize.

     Then we finally got back to the corn maize and it was totally dark. So our group decided  we wanted too go on the free stuff which was the awesome giant slide, and pit of hay that you could run and jump into, and a giant swing. y We played on those for a while then finally went back into the CORN MAZIE which was dark and really scary because it felt like someone was always watching you. Well someone was alway watching you to make sure you were following the rules. Anyway our wanted to split up but me and Harley didn't want to be by ourselves so she went with Cait and I went with Emily. Which kind of freaked us out. So me and Emily finally made it out after we got lost a few times and saw my brothers friend. But Cait and Harley were still in the corn maize. "Are they lost?" I asked. So my brothers friends dad yelled really loud "HARLEY, CAIT! TIME TO GO!!" So we finally got to go home! It was really fun and something that we should do again!:)

     

battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 comes out on Friday,and There is a new gamemode called operations,and it put you in real battles that during the war ,and it also tell's you the story behind it.The campain is real good compared to other Battlefield games because it takes you stories that happen during the war.

Last Minute Studying

      Do you ever have that fantastic day where everything goes your way? You wake up and blue birds fly around you singing a song about how beautiful it is outside. You go to school and go to class and the teacher says, "Don't forget you have a science test tomorrow," and you freeze. You feel like your about to throw up. You should have studied for the test. All your friends reminded you, and your parents kept on telling you to study. But you forgot. You start what... STRESSING OUT.
      You look at your friend, and they are looking at you with a disappointed look on their face. You go home and you break out your science book and you start studying your BRAINS OUT!!! You cover the answer up, read the question aloud, and say the correct answer. You get yourself all hyped up and you think your ready.
      You go to bed, and wake up the next morning pumped up!!! You get to school and you do last minute studying. You are SOOOOO READY!!! You get to class and the teacher hands out the test. And to you it looks like Ancient Egypt threw up ALL over that business. It makes NO SENSE!
      You go through the test half guessing, half knowing. You turn the quiz in at the last second and then its time to go to the rest of your classes. You already know you failed the test.
      You come to school tomorrow and get your test back. I am going to leave the test score up to interpretation. What do you think you got on the test?
   

Dream Pets

My dog is amazing but there is many pets on my mind, either a rabbit/bunny or a Norwegian Terrier. There are two to three reasons why those pets, either there names or how cuddly they will be. I will name my dog chewy(short for chewbacca) because it looks like him or if it was a rabbit I have three ideas. Carrots is the first one because on they like carrots and two in the new movie Zootopia the fox calls her carrots, another name is cookie monster because you know it just sounds cute. And my last name is cotton because its little tail.
Toys for the pets are very serious and caring for the animal, toys will occupy them and they will have fun, you can play with them and have memory's. I love animals and taking care of them along with playing with them, with dogs you need to walk them, with rabbits you just need to give them a good living space to run around and play.

My Football Season

This football season has been great; it built up confidence for next year and in high school. Our first game we lost to one of our rivals the Halstead Dragons thirty to zero. It felt terrible, I sort of lost confidence for a while. But when we scored thirty three points in one half versus Hillsboro I felt extremely better.  Our next game was against Larned; they were a great team, but we blew through them too. After we beat Larned, I had great confidence. Smokey was up next, they had a good backfield, but we still held our ground and won to them twenty six to six. After that game I knew if we kept playing like we did we would win the rest of our games. Pratt was who we played next, we knew who they would run it to every time, and we knew what the would do every time. Pratt would get intercepted every time they threw it and they would not click. We blew Pratt out of the water but the next challenge would be at Haven. Haven had a confusing offence but it was easy to read, we beat the Haven wildcats and our last game was at home against Reno. Reno had great receivers, running backs and a quarterback. But finally, we came with a win, I couldn't feel any better about how I started all season and how I did a great job all season, I love football and wish I could play it more.

Mowing

                    On Sunday, my dad taught my how to mow. What I did was mow around the outside of the yard, the fill in the rest. In the front, I did the box pattern, but that turned out like big loopty-loops. Needless to say, there are some big furry patches in the yard where I missed. I am not so good at mowing, but I hope to improve. The hardest thing is mowing around the obsticles in the yard. Let's just say I may or may not have hit a tree. It was okay though, because I hit it with the grass blower thingy-mabobby, and it folds so it didn't hurt the tree or the mower. But going in straight lines is harder than it looks. Hopefully I will get better!

Being Home Alone....

        Home Alone, those two words can scare me sometimes and be the greatest thing ever. (I love Home Alone the movie too)

I'll tell you why being home alone can be scary (especially at night). It's scary because you don't have any family with you(maybe your dog).  It also can be scary because if someone could come in and you could not be prepared and your family is in Wichita. Or you could be like the kid from Home Alone and set pranks and traps. I wish I could do that.

                                                                     OR

You might love being home.  You might love it because you can eat all the food you want and just sit on the couch, while you watch TV. I enjoy that sometimes too. I usually sit on my couch with chips and ice, while watching Once Upon A Time. That's my all time favorite show. It could also be fun because you could invite your friends over and have a PARTY!!!

That's just a little bit about being home alone wether it's the worst or the best thing in the world.

my dream job

So I'm gonna start on my dream job. So my dream job is being a vet. I want to be a vet because I love animals. And I know you are gonna have to put some animals down but still you can  save a life of an animal. And if you put one down its not suffering any more so you saved it.

Catching the Feels

The Feel is a very common sickness, and is very easy to catch. Symptoms of the feels may include, crying, nausea, anger, tired, and heart ache. To get rid of the feels talk about it to a friend, eat sweets to numb the pain, re-watch the episodes before the tragedy occurred, and be anti-social.

I have had the feels many times before. I know how I got the feels and I knew how to avoid them but I never learn. The last time I caught the feels was when I was watching Missing Halloween. It was a happy animation about these two kids trick or treating. But one of the kids did not get any candy, while the other got lots. When the boy who got candy asks his mom to give his friend (the girl who did not get any candy) some candy. But his mom was talking to a doctor and she said he was sick, and that his friend was never there. He was the only one who could see her.

He tried everything he could to get his mom to see her. But to no avail. Later, he and his friend are sitting on the hill. His friend started to walk into the forest. He chased her through the forest, narrowly avoiding bear traps. He finally finds her, but it is not her. It was her corpse laying against a tree. She had been dead for a while now. And in her hand was a piece of candy with a piece of paper with the words "You found me.".

If you ever have the feels, do not freak out. It is not life threatening but it will leave you feeling terrible. So enter a new show if you dare. But be ready to face the feels.

My weekend

Over the weekend I did a few things on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

     On Friday I was home alone for the morning portion of the day except for when my sister got a haircut, and the two kids she was babysitting came over to our house. I couldn't belief how much energy they had, in the morning. Then in the evening I went to the football game against Hillsboro, and we won by a lot.

       On Saturday i didn't do much so lets just skip forward to Sunday. On Sunday, I went to church, then went to wichita to get food at Hu Hot, then go to Dick's Sporting Goods to get basketball.

       That pretty wraps up my weekend.
     
       
       

my weird dream

One dream that I had is when all my friends came to school at the same time, and we all had to go to a teachers room. To finish our homework because we all accidentally left our homework in our locker. But then we all realized we were on the same problem, so we would just do it together.

Then all of a sudden the teacher came in, and said what are you doing you should not be in here. Then we all got scared, and did not talk the rest of the day.

But after that day we never went into that teachers classroom before school. So we all went on with our day and thats the end of my story.

poems

            Poems can be easy and hard to make. To make a poem first you have to come up with an idea. Once you have come up with your topic you write a line that explains it, here is mine "roses are red". next I came up with a topic trending in 2016 "Clowns are here". After that I came up with something I love "It would been less scary if Harambae was here". Finally I smushed them together to make "Roses are red, Clowns are here, It would be less scary if Harambae was here". I mean like I don't know why they had to SHOOT HIM!!!!!!  LIKE THEY COULD HAVE LIKE TAZED HIM FIRST!

The Invention of Hugo Capret

    "The Invention of Hugo Capret" is by Brain Selznick is about a young boy named Hugo. Hugo lives in a train station and has spent every second he is not working on clocks, on the mysterious mechanical man.
   
    Hugo has to work in a train station because when he was very young his Dad died in a tragic museum fire. His only other living relative was his Uncle. His Uncle lived in hidden rooms inside a train station because his job is to fix the clocks inside the train station. One day Hugo's uncle disappeared so Hugo has fix all the clocks in the station himself. Hugo is ok with this though because it gives him more time to work on the mechanical man.
 
     This is all I can tell you with out giving away the rest of the book away but if you like a good mystery this is the book for you. If you choose to read this book don't be alarmed when you pull it of the shelf because it may look big but it has pictures so its not actually that bad. If you read this book there is all so a movie that you can watch after you read the book.

The Last Game

       
          It was the last game of the season for Hesston middle football coach wanted us there early for some reason so we where all there, we watched some hi lights of the season which got everybody pumped up. We took the field stretched got warmed up then the game started sadly I did not play in the first game but i did the 5th quarter.

         I caught three touchdowns but one was called back, they were all thrown by Ryan Eilert ended off by a good note can't wait till next season!    

Running

The reason I did cross-country was so I could have more stamina for dance. I never thought I would learn to love running. I love running because it feels like flying in the air.  I also like the scenery of where I run, but usually I only pay attention to that during drop off days in practice. 
  Which brings me to another thing I like. Even though we only did drop off day in cross-country, I still liked it. I like drop off day because it's peaceful and the air is fresh. Drop off day is when a bus comes and picks up and we are dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Last Tuesday,  we had dropped off day,  and Jenna, Sarah, and I got dropped off 4 miles away from the high school. 
   I also like running in the cold, because the air is crisp and running warms me up. For cross-country we had a couple of morning practices. They made me tired and sore, but they were worth it.
        I'm going to miss cross-country and am for sure going to do it again next year.

And we have to keep it a secret form that person. This year I got my cousin Molly's foreign exchange student, Tara.

But for Christmas on my mom's side of the family we have it on New years day. That way we can go to both the Braker side and the Reese side of the family for X-Mas.

1.  A little hammer.

2.  A little brush.

3.  A bag of minerals.

4.  A chisel.

Well thanks for reading!!

Ark Survival Evolve: Scorched Earth (Hard mode)

So you are in the new game mode Scorched Earth. First thing you need to know is that you can toss going out in the night, nata so hot you die instantly. ( I found that out the hard way long story short it was not pleasant). Back on topic, there are also storms and plenty of them too. There are sand storms, heat waves, thunderstorms, I forgot the rest but you get the point. Sand storms blow every thing away, heat waves make it very hot you have to go out a few seconds at a time, thunderstorms I think decrease spawn rates of every thing.

Lets get to the fun stuff, WYVERNS! Wyverns are powerful dragons that spawn in lava ravines. The types of wyvern are wyvern, lightning wyvern, fire wyvern and poison wyvern. There breaths are in the names (the Wyvern breathes fire).


So that is about it for this blog, hopefully you enjoyed it and I will see you later, bye!

The Dog Blog; food

          Hey its me, Ryan. Iv'e got a new blog post for dog tips. Today I'm going to talk about food. A dog can't eat everything despite what you might think :).

    Food, food, and more food. Thats what most dogs dream about. I like to call my dog 'The Vacuum Cleaner'. One thing to keep in mind is that you should always be aware of what falls on the floor. Chocolate, grapes, and large quantities of salt are very, very bad for most dogs health. But just because your dog eats a chocolate chip doesn't mean he/she is going to get very sick. It's if he/she consumes a large amount of it that he/she's at risk. Grapes on the other hand are considered toxic to dogs. Never let your dog get its slobbery lips on a grape. Too much salt can make a dog very thirsty and can give it sodium ion poisoning.
   There also healthy things for you dog as well as bad things. If you grind up kale and lightly sprinkle it on your dogs food, it can help its hair get smoother and healthier and softer. More healthy things are protein, healthy heart fats, vitamin E , niacin, and vitamin B.

My crazy Awesome Friends! (But manly Crazy)

Some of them are like me crazy AWESOME!!!!!!

And some them are shy and a little freaked out!

Hunter

          My dogs name is Hunter, he is cute when he is not being naughty. He is a mini Australian Shepard. He is black, white, and light brown. He is almost 2 years old and he is not a very well behaved dog. He likes to chew things (shoes) and play with my other dog Cara. He fall down the stairs a lot. One of his favorite things to do is to stand up on the top of the couch and bark at himself in the mirror.  It is quite annoying when you are trying to sleep. He loves to give people kisses whether they like it or not. Hunter might not be the smartest or most well behaved ok behaved at all but I still love him. 

Honour Choir

Today, I just auditioned for honour choir. The song I sung was Music In The Morning. I was super scared when I had to go sing for Mr.Enns . I don't know if I got in or not. I'll find out on Wednesday.  I hope I got in. See you all next time.

the parade and the NEBRASKA FOOTBALL GAME!!!!!!

So on Wednesday there was a parade right in front of my house and my best friend came over with her dog Lucy and we got LOTS of candy. So right before it started we cooked hamburgers and fairbury brand hot dog which are red hot dogs and they are really good and I don't like any other hot dogs so yeah.


So tomorrow my family is going to drive to Nebraska to watch a football game and my uncle that i haven't seen in a long time is gonna be there.

Battlefield 1

Battlefield one is coming out soon and the classes be scout,medic,support and assault. Their will be tanks,planes,light tanks and horses in the game. Their is also elite classes which are flamethrower,tank hunter and the sentry. Also there is single player's called war stories they are different stories with different charters.Finally it is coming out on October 21 so play Battlefield!

Goalie

             
        I play soccer for my school and I'll admit it is pretty fun. We have two teams.          A-Team and B-Team. In other sports normally seventh graders can't play on A-Team, but for soccer we have seventh graders that play on A-Team with the eighth graders. On the team most of the time I play center midfield which is pretty fun. On B-Team I play a variety of different positions. And sometimes I play goalie.
       Goalie isn't bad, it can be pretty fun. During a game however, sometimes it can be,well a lot of pressure. Especially on A-Team. And I'll admit I'm not the best. I mess up a lot, and I mean a lot. 
       There are also one on ones which I hate. In case you don't know what I mean by one on ones I mean when it is just you, and the person on the other team trying to score on you. When you have a one on one you have so many thoughts going on. Whether or not you are going to stop it. What the score will be if they scores. And whether or not your team will be able to come back if they do score. 
        I also hate the feeling you get when you can't get the ball out of the middle. When everyone is all together in the middle, trying the score and trying to clear it, it is hard to tell where to ball is going to go. And when the other team kicks out of the middle and towards you, you have to be ready. 
      There also things that I love about goalie. I love the feeling of actually being able to stop a good shot. Diving for the ball is also pretty sweet. 
      Despite the fact that goalie can be a lot of pressure I still enjoy playing it. 















   

Our lake House

 We bought our lake house at the end of summer. It is great because Max, Nick, and a lot of other friends are out their. We also have a tree that leans out onto the lake so we can jump off there and we have a type of diving board to jump off too. Later on we bought a golf cart because the lake is so big you need one to get around, we think it is 1 1/2 miles around. Next year is going to be even more fun because we are getting a jet ski. We usually invite more people out their like Kaleb,Cason, and Jace. We have not brought our dog (Brandi) out yet but when we do it will be really fun. We did a lot of work to it, put hard wood floor in the bathroom new tile in the kitchen and also discovered a secret path way down to our "dock". The people who we bought it from they left a couple things for us like ski ropes and that type of thing the, shed is small but does what we need it to do. We usually go out each weekend. can't wait to go out this weekend.

9/11

       This week I learned about 9/11 and how people were impacted.One thing I learned was when flight 175 went into the south tower it went into the the 84th floor, only 4 people from the higher floors made it out and survived. One of those people is Brian Clark and he learned that life is precious and to charities life and to have fun. Another thing he does is he goes all around the United States and Canada to tell his story.

       Brian only saw one person going up the stair well that day and his name was Jose and he regrets not going with jose to help because jose lost his life that day. But the only thing Brian did that was good was when he was going down he found anther man, he helped the man get out then but after they got out the building collapsed. That was when Jose died and ever since he wears a bracelet with Jose's name on it.

       Another thing was flight 93 was meant for the White House on 9/11 but landed in a field near Pennsylvania and everyone died that was in the plane.

       Some people also thought that the twin towers were going to fall into the east river. But then the structure went back to being strait and a little bit later they fell.

       3000 dead including the hijackers. Lots lost there life including first responders so if you are some one that is a surviver you are so lucky and you need to be grateful. But if you are a loved one of a deceased just be grateful the time you had with them pray that it will not happen again.

Polly

Hello Again!

        Today my blog is going to be about my dog. I know you might think that this is silly that I'm a 7th grader writing about her dog, but I love my dog. A LOT!! Her name is Polly and she is a Doxie-poo. That's a mix of a dachshund and a poodle (in case you were wondering).
         I've had Polly since I was two (I think). The point is that I've had here for a long time. We named her Polly because when she was little she was smaller than my dad's hand. Also, she was tiny like a Polly Pocket.  She is black hair and brown eyes. Polly is 10 years old but still really fast! We actually got her from my volleyball Coach Barber. Polly's mom actually died yesterday. I was sad and I think my coach was sad to. Even though it wasn't my dog it's sad when someone I know loses a dog.
         My dad can't wait till Polly loses a little of her eyesight, so that she starts running into walls. When he says that I punch him in the arm because I'm nice.
         Yep, that's it for my blog today!

K-State Football Game

Ok so K-State is no my first pick on watching a football game but we got the tickets for free. Well my mom won them at a football game and we got to go 1 week ago. So it was all the way in Manhatten ,Ks which took forever to get the stadium. 2 hours to be exact.  But we followed this one guy in a truck that was all decorated with K-State stuff which was pretty cool. So when we got there my mom didn't have to pay for parking because the package included a parking passes and a  lot of gas cards. So we sat there for like 3 hours before the game because we also got tailgating tickets in the package. Then we fond out that the tailgating ticket were outside on the terrace which was awesome! But then there was all of this free stuff there. Which of course me and my brother took a lot of the free stuff. So it stared to rain when we were on the terrace. Which delayed  the game 45 minutes and they didn't even start the before time. After like an hour they final stared to let people sit down and our seat were all wet.:( The they FINALLY let the  game start. It was raining the whole time. At the end of half time the had to cancel the game because there was lightning in the area. But we did get to see the band play which was totally awesome!!! The wildcats ended up winning against the Missouri State Bears! 35-0 was the final score.:) So we got out of the stadium around 11:45 and it  2 hours to get there so we didn't get back home until 1:45 or  2:00. But it ended up being really fun. I got to spend a lot of time with  my family instead of going to the school dance. There are plenty of other ones that I can go to. :)

The danger of pencils

                       There is a long list of the dangers of anything, but we are going to focus on the dangers of pencils. The first danger of pencils is outside of school. Have you ever made a slingshot out of pencils and rubber bands? Well if you have and you came out uninjured you are lucky. You want to know why, well when you fire the slingshot the rubber bands could snap and the pencils could shoot at you pointy end first. Another danger of pencils is, have you ever thrown a pencil into the ceiling, well if you came out uninjured you are lucky, you want to know how well I will tell you, when you throw a pencil into the ceiling it gets stuck and when somebody walks by it could hit them in the face.
