This is what I did today...
There's nothin like screwing around with a bunch of spray paint and 15,000 volts! Please don't try this... Unless you have already lost all of your limbs and you just don't care anymore. Then its ok.
I am tired. That's all I have to say...except that I need empty SOBE bottles for my capacitor bank for my Tesla Coil project. Help me...ok, i'm really tired as crap.
I woke up @ like 10 today. I went to mcdonalds @ about 11:30. I got 2 crispy chickens and forgot to order them w/o mayo...lol So I ended up doing the *scrape*. I went to dustin's and talked to him for a while. Ended up helping him and his mom fix their weedwacker, lol. And now I am sitting here wondering what else to do. I can't think of anything. I wish I had the wire for my Tesla Coil , but I don't so I can't work on that. Oh well, I'm going outside.
P.S. I found something to do, finally! I worked on my go-kart for quite a long time. I got around to ripping out all of its guts. I am working on rebuilding the back-end. Right now I am down to a frame. I have been brainstorming about how I am going to go about rebuilding it. I managed to cut a lot more of the weight out. Time to think....
Today was boring, I didn't really get to do anything. In gym today I accidently tore a perfect square out of Russel's shirt while going for his flag. The rest of the day was boring. I shocked myself in electronics as I do everyday... Pretty much nothin else.
It was nice outside today. I got use my mp3 player today. I think I am going to take it back and get the better one. A 256Mb one with a blue backlit display and FM tuner. This one's okay.. I kinda wanted more space. School was ok. I had a bunch of substitute teachers. I had one in 2nd, 4th, and 11th period. Gym was awesome today. We played flag football and I went to dive to get chris's flag running full speed. I just missed the flag and hit the ground hard. I skidded across the ground on my hands and then my shoulder hit the ground and I went flippity, flip, flop, lol. Another time I dove for mr. metzger's flag. I was running full speed and I dove, but at the same time mike carroll was running toward me to block me frome getting mr. metzger. Anyway mike ran into me while I was in the air. And Jehan McCoy was also running after mr. metz. I hit the ground and slid and my shoulder ran into jehans legs. I took him out and we were both laying on the ground laughing. Ah, it was great. My shirt has stains all over it.
PS: I went to walmart and saw lauren t. I bought a bunch of crap. lol I ended up spendin $100. I bought a new 2.4GHz phone, Nomad Muvo 128Mb mp3 player, some rechargable batteries, some gum, some soda, and some peppermint patties. lol I like my phone alot. Its sweet (9 different ringtones). I like my mp3 player too. Its louder than I thought it would be. That's about it. cya!

Today was fun. I finially got the chance to annoy everyone with my high frequency generator I made. Everyone was like what's that noise. CURTIS TURN IT OFF! I was like haha. It was great, well... Until Mr. Yingling took the squealing aparatus out in the hall. The last thing we heard as a class was *squeeeeeeal* *smash*! lol. That was the end for that one. The battery had a huge dent in it and it shorted out. I got it working again in computer class by running it off of the schools LCD monitor power supplies. Mr. Schuman was like turn that off. Well schools almost over... *ding* *ding* *ding* cya.

Today was boring as usual. Except for lunch, as always. The things we talk about..I swear. I walked home from school today and when I got home I started playing with sum high voltage. 15,000 volts high voltage... It was fun but it quickly got boring. The same thing over and over, an extremely loud, crackling, whitish, bluish, 1 inch plasma arc melting its electrodes. hmmph, boring. I decided to help my neighbor with his RV. lol, He needed some air in his tires. Nothing else to do. I'm going to bed.

I went to church, then mcdonalds for breakfast, and then I went to my grandparents 'cause it was my grandmother's birthday. We stayed up there for a while and then I came back home and started working on my Tesla Coil. I got the primary coil done. It took me 3 hours to complete! Hopefully sometime this week I can go to hanover to pick up some wire for the secondary coil. We'll see...
