Well this week is rather exciting or at least tonight is. The Eagles first football game is tonight playing Blue Valley at Randolph. I am pretty nervous though because we only have ten players who can suit out and one of those has been sick all week. Even with those small complications I believe we are ready for this game.  Tuesday however I will probably come into class black, blue and, hardly able to move, I'm going to take a beating tonight as well as every Friday night between today and the end of October and I pray I make it through the season without any serious injuries.
On a different note I just finished a small welding project. My grandpa mows yards in manhattan and needed his trailer ramp rebuilt. It was broken in half on one side and then was built heavier than it needed to be. It almost took a tractor just to lift the ramp. It took me longer to build then it should have just because I never seem to have any spare time.  It didn't take much to do. It was a lot easier than the ramp I built for my trailer. This ramp is just a square covered in expanded metal with hinges on one side that attach it to the trailer. My ramp was a bifold. It was two pieces on four foot long and the other three foot long. These were attached with hinges so that the ramp folds out to seven feet long or can be used at only four feet long.  The only problem with the design of my ramp versus the one I built for my grandpa, is that mine is incredibly heavy. Someday when I am old I won't be able to lift it that is for sure.
