Last Weekend

Well, Right now I'm sitting in the RV with no internet. I just lost the front seat to Hayden because he wanted it. I have nothing to do so I thought I'd start writing my blog early, thus when I get home i can just copy and paste.

I think I may owe some...apologies. Eve and Caroline I think Hayden ruined your weekend. But I will say you kept him quiet the whole RV ride so I guess I owe a thank you too. ;P He had nothing to do this weekend, so in fairness to him...oh wait never mind...lol

Wow...The Sandrail ran great!! This is the first weekend we didn't break anything. With the old car we had yet to make it threw one weekend without having to buy new parts, work on the engine, or be towed in. With its 450 HP Corvette LS2 Engine, It was hauling. On the sand highway which is basically a long strip of sand stretching 22 or so miles which leads onto Glamis the Sandrail hit a top speed of 86.2 according to the GPS. The scary thing is so it has 4 gears and we were in 3...And the pedal was down...HALF WAY! That means we had the rest of 3rd gear AND 4th gear. My dad didn't want to break anything, but he could have easily hit 120, which would have been foolish because any faster then 85 and you almost lost control. Yet, there isn't a word to describe the exhilarating experience this car gives. Then again, there aren’t words to describe Hayden's stuipidness so...Wait...I bet I can think of a few lol. Well I can't wait to come home to a warm shower, a bed, and all the wonderful things of home. I'm basically covered in sand. Oh, we even ran into the guy that sold us his LS2 engine. That guy has a LS7 now and was just beating everyone at the drags. My dad with his brand new car did not want to drag but on Saturday night there was a long line of people lined up to watch the drags. On the big weekends, like Halloweens people will line up for miles and watch drags. Halloween and Christmas are the two big weekends. Back on topic, I'm sore as ever. I can feel every bump I hit and every jerk I hit. On Friday I went on 1 ride, Saturday I went on 4 plus one night ride, and 1 on Sunday. This was the hardest riding I have ever done and on the ATV my top speed was 60MPH. I was keeping up with guys that have twice the power and have been riding 10x more then me (no lies, I’ve been riding 3 years and they have 30 years) The trip worked great though, RV and Trailer 71 feet long provided great shade and it was cool unless you were in the 95 degree heat. I think Hayden sent a text replying the temperature. That was at 8PM (or so) and It was dark. By then, we had already had the campfire and were on our way to bed, well the RV and went to bed at 12 (midnight). Last night we watched SNL (Saturday night live) and it was the skit with Bush (will ferreal) Palin (tina fay) and McCain (don't know him) And Bush wanted to give McCain his endorsement and McCain kept trying to get away and bush kept pulling him back. It was pretty funny and I enjoyed it but I was too tired to remember it quite correct so...

Well I think we may almost be home. (yay)

I guess I will see you all on Monday.

--------------------------------------------

I typed that in the RV going on the I10 to the 51.

Wow, What a weekend!! Friday got up 5AM and packed, We hit the road at about 9AM but had trailer brake problems, so made a stop at the trailer place and they could not fix that so we just continued on. We finally arrived at the Dunes and did NOT want to get stuck so we bounced the whole time finally getting into our camp. We had to put the sand paddles on the sandrail so once we finished that we took "her" out. We ran down the sand highway at about 90MPH. The scary thing is, we could have easily gone faster, MUCH faster. 90 was fast enough so we turned into the actual dunes and started driving. My dad is very inexperienced with the new rail and that was the first time it hit the "sand". He drives it on the street (it's 100% legal) and thats it. He did very well and did not get stuck. We returned to find the guys in our group readying up for a ride. My dad was tired so I joined them. 2 rides on Friday, 5 on Saturday, 1 on Sunday. I'm sore!! Then we got home, unpacked, backed everything in (rv and trailer) and I went in. I walk in and immedtally am asked, "Get in the car, we need to hurry" My sister moved out of her house and Lucky me...I had to help. We unpacked a full large SUV's load of stuff of hers...and it was a 3 story condo and a lot of walking/running up stairs with heavy things in my hands. I'M TIRED! I even stlil have homework due tomorrow (i forgot to bring it ;)

Well lets see, I gotta reply to some comments, dont I.

Ok, I'll start with this: Tori...I do not give Hayden a lot to deal with. He gives it to himself lol. FUN FILLED WEEKEND!!

Oh Almost forgot!! Hayden took a video of My dad driving the sandrail and me Riding the ATV! The video isn't very good (thanks to Hayden) but I didn't want to get sand on my camrea. Lets see...How to post a video...


OK, couple of notes:

1) I did have a shirt on, That was my tan riding shrit (it looks like i'm shritless)
2) That is my dad in the sandrail with the biggest smile you will EVER see on his face
3)I told hayden to take video of ME but he wanted the sandrail too
4) No pictures, sorry they didn't turn out.


Wow...Long post!

I'm off

lol it's 11PM and lucky me...get to wake up at 4AM!! I said I was going to post, So here I am. We are going to wake up 4-5AM and finalize the packing (hook up trailer with RV, secure everything, ect.) So, Not too much to do but my Dad has to work a little bit too so we should hit the road about 10AM-ish and pull into the dunes at about 2-2:30-ish. Hayden (as I said before) Cannot ride (Yes!! and No!!) So he will be as bored as ever sitting in the hot RV while I'm having fun, jumping, wheeling and what not. First time out with the 500 HP LS2 (corvette engine) BRAND SPANKIN NEW SANDRAIL!! This thing was just built about 3 monthes ago and has yet to touch anything but the trailer floor and street. It is 100% Street legal and if my Dad would pay for Insureance, He would be able to take me to KEYS in it. I am excited as ever to finally go and I have been waiting...let see like since April (our last trip) So it's been awhile and I'll need to find my "comfort" zone again. I'll take as much video as I can but I lost my Video Camera charger...So I cannot bring that but I can bring my Fuji camera that takes video. The only problem is, My dad cannot take pictures because he will be in the sandrail and Hayden can't even leave the camp grounds because somebody hurt his head and the rocking can't happen, So I will take what I can. It will also be like 2-3 of my journel pages. I'll see what I can do and will put everything I get up on here ASAP. We will probably leave sunday at around 9 or 10 AM and arrive home 3PM-ish. When we get back we will have to unpack the fridge, unpack the whole RV, clean up the trailer, wash the ATVs and Sandrail, Wash the RV, park the RV, park the trailer, Disconnect everything, hook up power and A LOT MORE!! So I will (lucky me) be forced to do homework while on my wonder vacation time but oh-well. Wow, This post has taken me like 15 minutes now and I should have gone to bed 1:15 ago. lol, oops :p

I'll be up 3:30-ish (gives me 30 minutes to check my blog, and see if anything happend in the 4 hours I was gone) And get 100% ready to leave.


I'm having second thoughts about bringing my laptop. I'm 99.9% sure I get internet out there, So I May bring it and post the pictures I get but then again, It's one more thing to worry about and take up my enjoyible relax time. No harm in bringing it so I guess I might as well.


Well I have to go to bed...Wow am I tired.

This Weekend

Well I probably should not be on right now because I am leaving tomorrow to the Yuma Dunes!! I have some pictures below of me jumping and because Hayden will not ride this means I will be able to ride the 450! I'll bring my camera but I am not willing to ruin it but I will do what I can and I will post all videos I get and put them on here. Hayden can't ride at all...So he will probably stay in the RV while I'm out having the time of my life. In other words...Eve if your still looking into being made fun of...TEXT! (lol) Unless he's too busy "Running his car (RC Car)" Which really meant "Talking to Caroline" (:p) Well I have the biggest headache because last night I was loading stuff up in the trailer and decided to jump and hit my head. Or the time I was putting some tires in the smaller one and stepped up and slammed the front of my head right into the top of the trailer (not fun) And thats why I had that huge egg on the front of my head.


Well I was just told to come out and pack the RV and I WANT TO GO!!!

Hopefully I can make another post later tonight!

Funny Prank

Well about 1 or so years ago I played a prank on Hayden. I'm only thinking of this because I happen to be in a good mood because last night I ate some Pumpkin pie ice cream.

We had just walked into a restaurant and we had already ate dinner, So I decided to get some Ice cream. There was vanilla, Chocolate and Some "untagged" Flavor. I was curious to what it was, So I got some and brought it back. It was a little small bowl and I get back to our table and my dad is sitting right there because it was my dad, my brother, and I. Hayden asked, "What flavor is that?" I immediately took one bite and told him, "Pumpkin Pie." Well he left to go get some and he comes back with the biggest serving of ice cream I've ever seen. He takes one bite and prepared to punch me. It was like orange Schubert!! I've never seen my dad laugh so hard at something I did to Hayden. I've also never seen such disappointment in Hayden's face. It was hard to text so I hope this ties up loose ends (lol)

I soooooooo want to try the cotton ball in chocolate with coco powder and trick Hayden into eating it. The only problem is, Hayden does not eat chocolate, Which I cannot understand. If I do try it, I will deferentially tape the whole thing. That would be hilarious.

This week:

today (20 minute) I'm gong to my Wed. Co-op. After that I'm going to pick up our RV. Tomorrow I'll be at KEYS and the moment I get home from KEYS, I'll be packing the RV and Trailer and Friday morning, We'll be on our way to the Imperial Sand Dunes. I'll be sure to take as many pictures as I can but I am just hopeful that Sand does not ruin my camera. I do have some pictures of me jumping and that was 1-2 years ago. Now i ride an ATV with twice the power and because Hayden hurt his head, He cannot ride at all. Hopefully, he will take pictures but there is no guarantee. I'll do my best and see what I can do about my Video Camera, I'd love to take some video of the Sand car "In action". Hayden will probably do his RC car and I'll have video of that too. I cannot wait for this weekend, and it will be fun for my weekend to be ruined by homework.

Well I'm off to my Wed. Co-op.

I did it

I stayed up all night...I'm tired. I think I'll start my "morning" in about half an hour....but I want to stay up ;)

If you havn't noticed...

I'm not sure who noticed (well no one yet) but it's 2:35 in the morning. Look back at the times i've posted, i obviously have not gone to sleep yet. Yep, I'm pulling a all niter! so please on Monday when I'm 100% out of it, you will know why. I'll make a post at 4:30 - 5AM-ish.

Next weekend

Well i thought I'd tell you in advance, Next weekend we are going to the imperial Sand dunes. Basically a bunch of sand dunes. I looked in my email and found some old pictures (about 1 year ago) of me jumping my ATV there, thought you MAY enjoy.

This Weekend

Well it's Friday, almost 2PM and in 3 hours my parents will have left for the weekend (YES!) They are going to Cali until Sunday! That basically means...I WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO! Right now it's 2PM and I do not have my phone because Hayden does so if you are looking to be insulted, made fun of or boreded to death...CALL HIM! (lol) In other words, I will post in about 3 hours with an update and some 2-3 year old pictures of my Family in Australia! now...The whole weekend...I have nothing to do! (so prepare to be over-used blog) In other words...LOTS OF POSTS! until then...

A little about me

Well there was not much info about me so i thought i would fix that. My name is Bryce Newman, I am 12 and 3/4 (even though it says I am 13) I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I live in Newport Beach, California for parts of the summer (basically vacation house) I go to KEYs (Kingdom of education for young scholars i think) and I have 4 classes there. Math (pre-algebra), Latin, Photography, and Year book (and yes I do have one of those cool passes that get me anywhere ;) ) And thats on Monday and Thursday. I also go to basically another co'op on Wedensdays and there I take three classes. Bible study, English and Politics (yes, politics) The politics class is fun but the teacher talks so fast that I get a headache! I'm also in Algebra I (2 math classes) which means next year i will go stright to Algerbra II (bad news for everyone there Lol) I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters (6 year old brother, 9 year old sister, Me, 14 year old brother, 19 year old sister and 22 year old sister) and our family (basically Hayden) has 1 guinea pig, 1 snake, 2 tourtles, 1 blue toung skink (a type of lizard) and we have 2 family Dogs. Due to the fact (ok i'm lazy right now) there arn't any pictures but i'll get some. AND PLEASE! PLEASE do not show me any pictures of me from KEYs...They can't be good! (except that one when we were playing spin the bottle) Lol

First blog

Obviously my FIRST BLOG! (what exactly does the term "Blog" mean anyways??)
