Sam's Journal 5/9/2020

We have ordered an air track! I am so excited. it's 20 feet long and 3.3 feet wide. It's going to be so fun. Especially when the Danielsons get here because they are bringing thir medium tramp andour mini tramp. We could connect them in a staircase that goes airtrack, mini tramp, medium tramp, big tramp. We could also use the airtrack as a slipnslide straight into the pool. My lightsaber is still not here. It has been shipped but not been picked up yet by DHL Express. Once they pick it up, it will take 3-8 days to get here. The owner, Will, says that it will be handed over soon because the package before ours was picked up a few days ago. There are only TWO weeks left of school and I am glad. I hate online school and will be glad when it's over. I have continued to make lightsabers with the airbrush and now I have made 20 of them. My Name                 Is                    Sam Walter ...

My lightsaber shipped finally after almost 4 weeks. It will be here in 3-8 days. I made the claws and gloves for my cosplay. They look amazing. I also am making a ton of detailed pvc pipe lightsaber hilts. I have already made five. One double blade one for Davis, a shoto and normal one for me, one for Garrett, and one for Leah. We are going to make a ton and sell them. We are getting all the materials from the pink barn which was super fun to explore. It had a ton of stuff to use like pvc, old door handles, metal, computer cables, all sorts of stuff. The place is falling apart and it will always hold a special place in my heart. That's all folks!!! Sam Walter

Today is the three week anniversary of ordering my lightsaber. It will ship this week! Ok now to the cosplay stuff. We have cleared out Gramp's old shed and we are using it to build stuff. It already had a bunch of tools in it and we brought over all of ours in as well. We brought all of the spray paint, the EVA foam, Uncle Sean brought over his heat gun. I'm talking everything. Also, you know how I said that a dremel and air brush were too expensive? Well we ordered a dremel which is already here and we ordered a pack of 3 airbrushes and the air compressor. I also ordered paint separately. That will come tomorrow. I made my shoulder armor and I will paint it with the airbrush once it gets here. I am making a youtube vid about my whole cosplay experience. (Btw my channel name is Sam Walter). Next we are going to do the gloves with the knives on the end. A few days ago  got an audition offer from Nickolodion. I chose which audition script I wanted and I am working on that. They...

Life on the Ranch is Good

We're still Here

The days go by so quickly! We work and the kids do online school Michael and Davis go to the hippie house every day. I teach online and do dishes and cook and cook. I walk the ranch every day with Holly. I work out. Sam and Davis have taken over my Gramp's old shop and they are building and making. They got an airbrush and compressor and love working up there. Davis is hardly riding his bike at all, though he and Sean did spend some time riding a trail through the ranch. We had another mardi gras themed murder mystery last weekend. We watched Steven Sondheim's 90th birthday live stream which made me cry it was so good. We watch movies on the big screen-Lord of the Rings, Stand by Me, Austin Powers, and also Survivor on Wednesday nights. I sit on the porch off of the guest room and swing on porch swing and read and smell that amazing jasmine hedge. It's my favorite thing to do. We build puzzles. We swim. Davis drives the m...
