How to Build a False Bottom Tank

2009-05-01T19:13:00.000-07:00

I'm going to Kamloops this weekend, I think, so I'm going to stop at
Petland and get a 10 gallon tank. There is a special setup I want to
make for the tank called a false bottom tank [see at bottom]. When
you make the tank half the tank is raised land inside and the other
half is water. The supplies you need are - plastic piping, a grid,
window screen, cotton batting, cork pieces you know oh and a 10 gallon
tank. How to put it together first you cut the pipe 2 inches place
them in every corner and were you want them. Put the grid on the pipe.
Then put the window screen on the grid then cotton on the grid. All
around where you want water you put the cork pieces but soak them in
water for 24 hours before using in the tank or the water will look
like tea. So that's how you build a false bottom tank.

Hi Class,
The first day of my vacation has been great. The pool is really big with a
fun waterslide and cliffs to jump off. At the beach by the ocean there is a
coral reef. If the weather is good tomorrow we might go snorkelling. Today
the weather was overcast. If it is overcast tomorrow we will probably go to
the Crococun Zoo. It has crocodiles and local animals. You can check it out
at www.crococunzoo.com. My brother sent pictures today to you and Mr. Lane.
I hope you received them. I will email in a few days.

I am currently at the mountains of Lillooet B.C. I brought with me a tracing device to tell me where my family is, a hunting knife, a machete, flint and steel, and hiking boots. In the mountains I live by my friend John, the only person I can trust, who lives in a cave, I live right beside him in a tree outside of the cave. I am our look out and he is the hunter. On day 16 in the forest, I spotted a cougar coming our way. I couldn’t wake John up, so the cougar did it for me. CHOMP! The cougar took a massive chunk out of John’s leg and arm. I eventually showed the cougar the door with the rifle. John didn’t wake up that day. The next day John woke up. On day 27 we heard a big bang. It was a gang of poachers. They didn’t even notice us well walking by to collect there kill. We followed the poachers and took them out in a swift kick. We followed the scent to the dying animal. We found it, it was a dying bare. We helped it heal and kept it as a pet. John already had a trained falcon. I wasn’t needed for look out anymore. I was now used to find the animal and the bear that would kill it and John would cook it. We would all get an equal share of the meat. Sometimes we would cook a steak. On day 32 John let the falcon go to find an animal and he hasn’t come back since. I am a wild kid and I am 19 years old and my name is Jason Borune.

Hi my name is Kris I’m writing a blog about my school. I am making a story called the Lupes return. I’m not having much progress in my book so far. I am also writing about the news around Cayoosh school. We had an assembly on Monday. It was about the rules in our school. At our school we are getting a new playground. We are building a robot out of old computers and other stuff like that. We are about to start building it. We have took apart a computer tower to get the circuit board. The robot’s name is Robodozer! That’s the news going around at Cayoosh school. Bye for now I am sure I’ll get back to making more blogs. Kris out.

It was a dark and stormy day. We had been at school for a week. But the important thing was that we had fun. We are planning to build a robot. We have most of the supplies. The awesome thing is that I am writing a story. It is called The Lupes [loops] Return. It is about three Lupes [wolf like creatures] that save Lupe City from Evil Monster Lupes. My best friends are Dylan, Layne, Maxwell, Kurtis, Dante, Kevin, Tyler, M, and Sebi, and last but not least Karly. I like my teacher Mr. Oakes. And that’s it for now. By me, Kristopher.

Day 17-day 20 may 6-may 9

We arrived to Honolulu and we got the car from, this time, dollar rentals. We were lost driving and driving around and around. Me and mama got dropped off at a store to ... well mom says it's a mall. Well, we did our business and ate and got some stuff for the road and when they picked us up they had lo and behold a map! Well we finally found it and we did some shopping and went to sleep

To cut out the other stuff here is what we did on wonderful day 18.

Went to Pearl Harbor. saw torpedoes and ballistic missiles got into a submarine cock pit and looked at ... through periscopes and then got souvenirs mom says that, and I know, that an amazing battle took place here in WWII. After that we went snorkeling

Ok here's day 19

A short version of a military stronghold called Diamond Head (they aren't really diamonds) we hiked and took lots of pictures and we saw spectacular view of the sea and the beaches and it was a two hour long hike up and down - with pictures and it was worth it

The rest we relaxed for the vacation well maybe...whoops just wait

Day 19 and 20 fill in

We went to a Chinatown after Diamond Head and we saw cool things and also at the last day we walked on Waikiki beach and ate then went to the arcade

Badminton

This weekend we put our volley-ball net up. We spray painted boundary
lines in orange. There not that strait to be honest. But who cares? At least
me and Fallon tried. Fallon, Paige, and I play badminton and volley-ball.
Usually we play volley-ball because of the winds. Sometimes our mum and dad
play with us. Fallon is really good at volley-ball. So is my mum. My dad is
really good at badminton. I am not very good at badminton but its fun. When
we play volley-ball we play it so we can catch the ball to make it easier.
Paige is still learning how to play both volley-ball and badminton. She has
a really good serve for badminton. But she still needs some work on her
serve for volley-ball. Other than that she is pretty good. My serve for
volley-ball is getting really good. A badminton serve is pretty easy. I like
volley-ball and badminton!

Day 15
May 4, 2008

Aloha!

Today, we visited the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Company. Hamakua Macadamia Nuts are grown on the lush, green slopes of the Big Island of Hawaii's four mountain ranges. They were all grown using environmentally, friendly practices without pesticides. Macadamia nuts fall to the ground when they are ready and farmers collect them when they are ready for processing. i got to try to crack the Macadamia nut using 300 lb of pressure and they were very good. I like them raw. Macadamia nuts are good for you and are high in good fat which helps reduce bad cholesterol levels. They also are good in vitamin E., which protects against cancer and other diseases. We tried samples and they were good.

During the evening, we attended the Island Breeze Lu'au held at the beachfront and we all dressed up in matching Hawaiian outfits. When we were greeted, my mom and my sister, Abegail, received fresh leis to wear, and my dad and I received kukui nuts lei also to wear. Then, we had our picture taken, and we got one of the best seats...the front seats. There was a wonderful dinner included full of authentic Hawaiian food; poi, a mixed taro root, and kalua pig, cooked under the sand with leaves, and lau-lau puaa (pig) a piece of pork wrapped in taro leaf and wrapped again in banana leaf and steamed in an imu (the place where a kalua puaa is cooked or maybe they steamed it in a pot). It's really good, and there was even live entertainment! There was a fireknife dancer, and hula dancers, and other dancers. It was really fun. I wish I could bring you all, but we didn't have enough money because it is very expensive!

Mahalo!

Brandon's Last Words from Hawaii

2008-05-13T08:50:00.000-07:00

Aloha!

Today, in the morning, we went out fishing. Then, in the afternoon, we visited the Blue Sky Coffee Company. There was a sample for each coffee they make and a there was a short movie to see on how they grow the coffee beans. As well, a tour guide showed us some of the coffee trees and I learned that Kona Coffee beans has become worldwide for its unique, rich flavour. For generations, the volcanic mountains of Hawaii's Big Island have produced one of the finest coffees in the world. Coffee beans can grow at an altitude of 1200 feet and over. After that, we went swimming at the pool which the hotel provided. Also, we went out fishing again, but this time it rained, and we were soaked.

Mahalo!

animals and birds the wilderness is nice don't you think?

Day 10

We just did the Hawaiian Shaka, "Hang Loose" ... Dat's it Bro'

The rest of the day, we just relaxed!

The Hawaiian word for the day "Ohana" .. which means "Family"

Day 11

We had to leave early to catch our flight to "the Big Island", Hawaii!
When we arrived, we picked up our rental car and went stopped at one of
the many scenic points on our way to our hotel, the Outrigger,
Kanaloa. The plants here grow big and wild!

We tried a new restaurant, called, "L&L". It was a BBQ place with rice. I had the combo platter ... chicken, beef and pork! I was so full!

Aloha!

Brandon

Day 12

Aloha!

We went shopping on the waterfront, downtown Kona, and rented some fins. I also bought a new mask and snorkel, which is really cool. Later we bought a fishing rod so that we could go fishing. We checked to see where we could go fishing and here, you don't need to have a fishing license. After driving around, we found a nice beach to go snorkeling. There was lots of tropical fish and we also saw sea turtles or honu. There were two big fish following me around. Maybe they were just curious or maybe they were hungry. There was a sign not to feed them, so we didn't. I was really tired that day, and I slept.

Today, I don't have a Hawaiian word for the day, but the Hawaiian King, King Kamehameha, the the one that united all the people of Hawaii.

Aloha!

Brandon

Day 13

Aloha!

I'm getting darker and darker.

Today my Dad and I spent the morning, fishing. The fish are very smart, because they kept nibbling all of the bait. We used shrimp first and it attracted the big fish. There was one big parrot fish, that I called the "naughty fish" because it kept eating all of the bait. when all the shrimp was gone, I switched to some dry cuttlefish. It is very stinky, but it works. It attracted all the other fish too. The naughty fish was waiting until I threw it out and as soon as my hook hit the water, it went straight for it. We didn't land any fish, but we had fun!

Aloha!

Brandon

Day 14

Aloha

Today we had to get up early and drive to Hilo, which is on the other side of the island. We were going to go on a helicopter tour of the Kilauea Volcanic system, which is the most active volcano in the world. We had to go to pre-flight to learn about safety, such as seat belts and life jackets, just in case we crashed!

When we got into our seats, we put on head sets so that we could hear the pilot explaining the tour. It was so cool. We lifted off and flew over Hilo and the surrounding area. We got to see the cinder cone where the lava will eventually fill the crater, like a lava lake and then it will flow over and head towards the ocean. Today there was not very much activity. There were steam vents where we could see lava flowing towards the ocean. We then flew towards the ocean where we could see the lava flowing into the ocean. There wasn't a lot, but I could see it. We were told that the surrounding water will heat to a tempature of 2000 degrees F. We also saw the many water falls and a macadamia nut farm farm. My Mother barfed in a bag.

Afterwards we went to one of the farmer's market in down town Hilo, the old area of Hilo.

We then bought lunch and went to the Japanese garden to eat. It was very nice. It had fish ponds!

Aloha ... Brandon

Brandon Days 7, 8 and 9 in Hawaii

2008-04-28T19:18:00.000-07:00

Day 7 April 25, 2008

Today we went to Hawaiian Village Coffee to send my update, and we met a very nice lady. Her name is Toni and she is very friendly. I had a chocolate brownie and a tall glass of cold milk. It was very refreshing.

We then went to the Maui Ocean Centre and saw sharks. We also saw manta rays and many other sea creatures, like "jellies". They were very beautiful and graceful to watch. The aquarium had a coloured light shining on them so they looked like the colour of the light. We also saw sea turtles in captivity. We went through an acrylic tunnel, where the fish actually swim over and around us. It was so cool! We also had lunch at the Maui Ocean Centre at a place called, "Seascape". I had a cheeseburger and fries, and I couldn't finish it. Everything in Hawaii is big! The kids menu is like the adult portions in Canada. Also the beef tastes really good here.

Later we drove to Lahaina, where Mom and my sister, went souvenir shopping. I had ice cream from Hagen Daaz, the world's best and one of the most expensive! However, Dippin' Dots, is the most expensive because of the dots. After that we went to the Pearl Factory to get an oyster. I picked one and the guy opened it. There was a pearl in it and had a "pearl ceremony". It was expensive. I think that was pretty cool, even though it might be fake!

My Hawaiian word for today is "Kane", which means "man", which I see every time that I need to use the Men's washroom!

Aloha and Mahalo!

Brandon =)

Day 8 April 26, 2008

We got up early this morning and drove to Maalea Harbour to meet the boat called The Pride of Maui. Our first destination was Molikini to do some snorkeling. On our way it included a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, muffins and juice. After breakfast, we were fitted for fins, snokels and masks. Before going into the water, we had to defog our masks. The water was crystal blue and calm. When we snorkeled, me and Dad, found Milletseed Butterfly fish. I don't know if I found surgeon fish, but I think I saw it. We saw lots of Sea Urchins and tonnes of Brain Coral. Then we got back on the boat and headed to turtle lagoon. We had, yet another, BBQ cheese burger, but this time I finished it. I asked if I could have another one, but my sister said, "No", even though, they said that we could have seconds. We saw tonnes of turtles and they were so cute, when they surfaced. They normally can stay underwater for 20 minutes, but the longest recorded time for a sea turtle is 2 hours.

We had a great time!

My Hawaiian word for today is "A'a". It is a type of rough lava, that still has chunks of rocks in it.

Aloha and Mahalo!

Brandon =)

Day 9 April 27, 2008

Today, we had to get up at 2:30 a.m. to watch the sunrise on Haleakala Crater. It has a whopping 10,000 foot elevation. I think that I got altitude sickness. I felt dizzy and sick. My Mom felt like barfing! When we first arrived, it was so cold, that I nearly froze my butt off, but it was very beautiful watching the sun rise over the clouds. I found out how to warm my hands. I went to the washroom and used the hand dryer. The road down from Haleakela was very winding, but I fell asleep. We had brunch at Kala Lodge. I had the "Mountain" breakfast, the biggest breakfast there was, and I finished everything!

Now, I am here, at the Hawaiian Village.

Maybe there will be more to come!

My Hawaiian word for today is "Pahoehoe", which is another type of lava, which is smooth.

Aloha and Mahalo!

Brandon =)
