Biking

Oops! I haven't been good about updating my biking blog log. Since the last post, I have biked 43.28 miles putting me at a total of 80.58 miles, a far cry from the 1,500 I intended to do, but it's still better than nothing!

Eagle Scouts

Last Wednesday one of our scouts, Jeremy, went for his Eagle Board of Review. We had another scout, David, also go to get his project approved. Thankfully, both passed. Jeremy became Troop777's ninth Eagle Scout. His project was building a trail in his neighborhood.

David's project is to fill backpacks with supplies and send them to a Christian orphanage in Zambia.

Thanks to Ryan for the pictures.

The three board members that did the BoR, Jeremy and my dad.

Happy 29th (plus tax) Birthday, Mom! Your awesome and the best! Love you!

Hats Off!

Hats Off by Henry Holcomb Bennett

Hats Off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The colors before us fly....
But more than the flag is passing by....
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong land's swift increase;
Equal justice, right, and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sign of a nation, great and strong
To ward her people from foreign wrong:
Pride and glory and honor,-all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high:
Hats off!
THE FLAG IS PASSING BY!

Experiment taking a picture through binoculars!
 

To honor those who have gone before;
And to praise those who still endure;
The guards of freedom, mine and yours;
Those who fought and died in war.

I have officially lost all confidence in the BSA! After changing their policy on homosexuals, I plan on being done with scouts after August. So much for Morally Straight! 

Go Sig!

GO SIG!!
