    Another Update with the Axolotls…

    This is the third post of these Axolotl’s. What am I doing?!

    Day Seven: Food’s growing great!

    Today, we just hatched Daphnia (AKA the food for the babies)! We had to move the parents into a separate tank. They seem to be doing great in the new tank!

    We are doing very well with taking care of the babies also. The new tank they’re going to live in is now set up when they hatch!

    Why are we still on this topic exactly? We still have the babies, and they have not hatched yet…

     

    Today is December 18th, 2025. Luckily though, eggs are still not hatched. Good for us! That means we still have time to prepare!

     

    How are they looking right now? Oh, they haven’t changed much yet. I can’t really write an actual Blog Post about this, since it’s only been 1 day after the first post about the Axolotl eggs. But, I’ll keep you posted.

  • The night Hundreds of Axolotl eggs were laid…

    The night Hundreds of Axolotl eggs were laid…

    Axolotls… Ever heard of them? Of course you do! Why are we on this topic exactly? Well…

    Our axolotls just decided to, err… Have hundreds of babies. Yea, we now need to take care of all of them!!

    Backstory:

    Day 1: The day all the eggs were laid.

    The date’s December 13, 2025. These little guys decided to mate and make hundreds of eggs overnight… They are just everywhere, from the mini-tree, to the sponge filters, to even the tubing system! Tell me why they just decided to make all of these babies axolotls!

     

    Day 2: Not much changed.

    We started to prepare by giving my Fish tank away to dad. We were also learning how to take care of them too!

    Day 3: The opposite of Day 2!

    Today, there was a huge change to their appearance. They have tails now! I feel like they are going to hatch before we’re ready! We just started growing their food, Brinshrimp (or a shrimp named Brian), and Daphnia! We learned that they vacuum the food up instead of just eating them up. Since they will also suck up the sand, that means they could die by the sand! We are planning to move them to a larger tank, without the sand after they hatch…

    Day 6: Still setting up…

    On the lovely day of 12/22/2025, the babies inside the eggs are moving more than ever! Most of these eggs are still alive. We are going to travel to Grandma’s to celebrate Christmas, but, we better hope that the eggs don’t hatch while we are gone!

    How are they looking right now?

    They are looking great so far, they haven’t hatched yet. Which is good for us! We have also set up the fish tanks for the babies, and have their food growing! I’ll keep posting updates on these little guys.

     

    In conclusion, we had those Axolotls lay hundreds of eggs in one night. Now, we have a ton of babies we need to take care of now!

  • My cat Mochi

    My cat Mochi

    Mochi is the cutest cat I know of! Why you may ask? Because he literally purrs if I am in the radius of a mile! He likes me (I mean, loves me), and he has a habit of regularly purring since he thinks I’m his safety. So he will only purr when I’m around and not my dad. Since he hates my dad!

     

    After Mochi’s midday purring session, he also loves to sleep with me. He will leap right up to my bed, and right onto me! Then, he will not come down from my bed until I wake up! How crazy is that? He is also very talkative too. He meows when he wants food, he meows to get my attention, he will literally meow through the door too! Nothing stops his meows!

     

    I do respect other peoples opinions about their cats. But for what I’m saying, Mochi is mine and I love him.

    Mochi being cute

  • A little bit of cake, a lot of darts!!!

    A little bit of cake, a lot of darts!!!

    So after all the Wham, bam of a literal Nor’easter, we have a birthday party?!

    This party consisted of a nerf-gun fight, a bounce-house, and 400 darts!! How crazy is this party?! Are we having a literal fight-to-the-death???

    The Nerf-gun fight!

    We had an awesome team-battle that went on until the party ended! I brought my Sniper (an accurate, 8 pack cartridge Long Nerf-gun) to the party and some darts. Until I realized, I didn’t need to bring them because there were 400 darts right at the entrance! Which is pretty crazy!

    I switched teams halfway through the game, so now my teammates became enemies!

    The team battle

    The Bounce-house

    Oh my word, it’s time for some jumping! And one of my friends started a game. How did it work? Knock everybody down to win. I somehow kinda won since this was for fun but I definitely lost the second round!

    My gift to Lukas

    He really and I mean really wanted a 3D printer, so I decided to get my first 3D printer rolling again. Then, I gifted it to lukas! His jaw was practically on the floor! Ever since he really wants me to visit, so that I can Recalibrate it. That’s how excited he was!

    Me working on the printer

    In conclusion, 

    We had a fun time! We had a nerf-battle, a bounce-house, and an awesome gift for lukas!

  • A Shirt-ton of fun.

    A Shirt-ton of fun.

    A Shirt-ton of fun.

    What do we have now? Well, we went to our local robotics class to make some T-shirts!

    Backstory

    So what did we have to do?  Mr. E wanted me to use some AI to create an image of me as a robot! Simple, right? Not really… About 17 bad queries later, we finally had one that I liked!

    E thought it was great!  So I used it, Here’s the image:

    Robot picture

    Credits to Gemini on this picture!

    His assistant cropped out the burning trains in the background. Then, she printed it out!

    The night of the event.

    On the next day, we had to walk to this class. Not even kidding! Why? The weather was bad, so bad that we couldn’t ride our bikes. And we didn’t have the car either! What I mean by “no car”, is that we were a two car family, until one of them broke down. So it means my mom had to use the other vehicle!

    We did our normal thing at Robotics, until the teacher, Mr. E. dismissed the class onto the bus.  We appreciated that Mr. E provided the bus ride. I really did not want to walk again!  The bus took us over to Donnell’s T-shirt place, OCD (Oxford Custom Designs). I was amazed at how he made the shirts so quickly! I think his shop was really cool, and I also learned from his process too!

    Dad says we might try making a T-shirt ourselves sometime!  But this event lasted until literally 8:00 at night!!! Crazy right? This is actually the time we left!

    In conclusion, We had an awesome class! I was able to make T-shirts, and we had a ton of fun!

  • Chickens: The Poultry go-Lore!

    Chickens: The Poultry go-Lore!

    Today on Oct, 25. 2025, we had an Auction Sale for 4-H!

    Backstory

    Many months ago, We bought 10 chicks off of my 4-H I was a member of!  I had to take care of all of the chicks also. Everybody else also did the same as I did!  The best news I have is that I had 0 deaths in total, which is awesome! Some kids had one death. Others had many deaths!  This means I did excellent while taking care of them!

    In my 4-H group. I also enrolled as Secretary!!

    Now, what’s this Auction?

    This auction was for poultry, and I had to bring 6 of my chicks over to sell them. I had some footage but I’m deciding not to make it public.  It was only the chicks moving around the cage.

    It was hard on me to let these chicks go.  This is the Document I sent to 4-H:

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g_2JRm4V9k-4FFpk6OZNQrAzqJfEoQ-F44jsTtAnrgQ/edit?usp=sharing

    DO NOT COPY THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

    How it went: as smooth as possible!  It did not bother me too much plus I got 90$ for 6 chickens! Plus, 90$ to 4-H also!  I spent 90 dollars on all 10 chickens!

     

    In conclusion, this was an awesome auction. I didn’t get a single death compared to other kids, and I was able to get 90$ too! This was a great event!

  • We met an Experienced sword fighter at Thornton Library!

    We met an Experienced sword fighter at Thornton Library!

    Sorry about this, “today” was about last month, maybe even the last 2 months. Sorry for the delay!

    Today  was a special day. This event was listed as “A medieval knight coming to the library”.

    After playing tennis using the phone as a ball, literally almost catching the house on fire (Breaking Breakers), Tennis, almost getting eaten by three corner flies, running through a puddle, and finding a lost dog.

    What possible way can we fit a literal knight into this chaos?!

    Fixing my old phone
    Breaking Breakers
    Chris = Tennis
    Three Corner flies as we run for our life

    Somehow we did… but at least it wasn’t being stabbed in the back!

    Soon enough, I’mma have to list them all on a separate blog post if this keeps going!

    Anyways…

    Morning…

    The day started out normally, Breakfast, feeding the chickens, you know what I mean. Until 1:00PM, where we went out to a nature walk with a few of my peers. A few women, a few men. But luckily I didn’t have a crush on those women. I wish my dear friend Asher was there though, I’d like Lidia to be there too.

    The real action…

    So, at 5:30PM, we head out to the library.

    We entered the meeting room with a few 70-90 year olds sitting in the seats. I would have expected more people, and kids. There was a total of ZERO of the crowd of 5-12 year olds. Yea, 0 kids were in the room, only I was the youngest here. I’m 13, sword training was 14 but my maturity level got me into sword training. That is awesome, but as of today. I’m not currently IN sword training yet, but I am able to go now.  This ‘Knight’ seemed to know what he was doing and even showed how to properly handle a LongSword. He even lectured about the Hospitalers and the Templars. Crazy, right? Whats even crazier is that the Hospitalers were actually trying to help people. Thats how the name “hospitals” was created! This clan was never disbanded, even today, the Hospitalers are still around! And how my dad got me into this sword fighting class was that he asked the knight on if I am able to get onto the program. He said “its fine if he’s a little underaged, the only condition that I have is that he acts normally and you are there to supervise.” So soon enough, I’ll be sword fighting!

  • A trip to Shana’s house: The monstrous ditch!

    A trip to Shana’s house: The monstrous ditch!

    Now we get stuck in a ditch after a Nor’Easter? This is getting out of hand!

    A monster storm hits us while at grandmas!

    Backstory

    On October 21st, we had a minor inconvenience, we were not going to be doing a walk today. Possibly a blog post about that, but we had something more wild happen. Apparently, my dad said that we would be going to Shana’s house today to help her out with building a chicken coop. That would be awesome, So I said a big “yes”!

    And while dad was driving, he asked me about what I was reading last night. Oh boy howdy did I start blabbering!

    Now, what happened?

    While we were pulling into the driveway, we drove into a ditch!

    You may think we were not paying attention, but that wasn’t the case! From his viewpoint, it looked like there wasn’t a ditch there at all! It looked like a perfect spot to park! Until we put the wheel into the ditch…

    And oh boy did we lift a wheel into the air! It literally went 4 inches off the ground! That was crazy! Plus the subframe made contact with the ground too!

    But we had serious luck when Shana had some wood to put under the front wheel! So we had her help out, and to our luck, dad was able to gently push the gas pedal and get the wheel to full contact with the ground! We recovered the vehicle without damage!

    What I learned from this crazy, monstrous ditch was that falling into a ditch is very critical and can damage a car’s oilpan, and alignment. Good thing this wasn’t too bad!

    The Fall Fest

    After helping to build the coop with Shana, we decided to drive home.

    Dad saw that the car did not care about driving into the ditch! That means we didn’t even get an alignment problem! Nor loss of oil pressure! It’s crazy just to think a 250,000 mile vehicle can handle that with essentially no scratches! 

    At 4:30PM the same day, we went to the Fall Fest at Henderson Perry Memorial Library!

    And since we helped out Shana, my great friend Theo was able to come over to the Library! There were games, a Trunk&Treat, and even an Arts & Crafts! This event was very awesome and I even was able to make a picture in the Arts&Crafts! Theo was also able to help out with my picture too!

  • A monster storm hit us while at Grandmas!

    A monster storm hit us while at Grandmas!

    And now what do we have here after all of this mess? A Nor’Easter struck land at New Bern while we were visiting Grandma.

    It seemed really bad, but New Bern gets hit with flooding frequently.  That means that New Bern is essentially prepared for pretty bad flooding that’s supposed to cost millions in repairs.

    So, this was a 2-day trip to Grandma’s over the weekend, from the night of October 10th to the 12th of October.  Unfortunately for us, Mumfest was canceled because of the storm coming. No event but lots of flooding downtown! I guess that’s our event right there???

    My screen was drenched! Good thing I used my newer phone! My Moto phone (my old phone) is at least 4 years old. It didn’t have the waterproofing anymore for being tore into many times!

     (Take a look into this blog post)

    Fixing my old phone.

    We saw the setup of the event but it was flooded like crazy! All of the flowers were underwater! Lucky for us we still had power, heck, it was barely even raining where grandma lives. We were like “Where’s the flood?!”, until we drove over to downtown to do our traditional walk. And little did we know, it was heavily flooded!


    I swear we almost blew away! I was able to get some video of the rogue storm too!

    In conclusion, Mumfest was replaced by something way crazier, A huge flood! It ruined Mumfest! What a day this was to go see some major flooding!

    See some more of my posts!
