This is Adventure Bear being loaded into the catapult I made as a school project. I once had a plastic apple sauce container glued to the end of the shaft in which I'm pulling on.

After a few more stunts my Dad put a band aid on Adventure Bears arm. If you notice the hinges connected to the shaft are broken that is the doing of mini hinges. The bigger the better. Oh and I'll try to stay on subject more. I have to wander off subject every once in a while. If you notice in the back round there are trucks. That is because of the construction of a gas station boo hoo. The reason I'm wandering off subject so much is because I can't think of anything to write about. I know that the only thing i wrote about Adventure Bear is really boring (ZZZ).

The end of an Era....or should I say Error!




Although Andrew and I were glad to see it go, Steve was quite upset. How does one say good-bye to something that has meant so much and has brought so many fond memories. Let's just say it was forced upon him. You see, the infamous chair was kept in Andrew's already too small bedroom. Not only did it take up much needed space but it also clashed with the decorating theme. How does a green easy chair fit into Air Force blue and WWII airplane wallpaper? Secretively, I think that Steve was upset that Andrew had chosen an Air Force theme over an Army theme that's why he insisted that the chair remain. Again Air Force superiority has over-ruled. Do you think I'm wrong with this thinking? Some would argue that a piece of furniture from as far back as university days was kept to keep the owner young. Or perhaps it was that ever-so-heard of line: "I'm not going to let having children change me. Things will remain the same". But let's face it, we all have to grow up some time and having children requires many sacrifices. You may leave a comment of condolences to Steve or you might like to break it to him gently (not what I chose to do) and let him know that life goes on and he can survive without the chair.

Adventure Bear!


A few years ago my Dad went to Toronto on business for two weeks. He came back with Adventure Bear. I lost him for a month or so but I eventually found him. That's when we started taking a series of funny pictures with Adventure Bear as the star. My favorite stunt was when we put him under a mitre saw. Another favorite was freezing him in a plastic cup(right). For a school project I made a catapult. A few weeks after the project I loaded Adventure Bear into the catapult. I lauched him but he was too heavy so he didn't go flying.
