One of my traditions is putting up a Christmas tree.  We open presents on Christmas day.  We take down stockings.  We get a fake Christmas tree because it's cheaper.  My dad threatens to give me coal.  Last year was the best Christmas because I got a replica of a C96 Hans Solo Blaster.

Don't get mad.  Stay calm.  That's some of my tips to do good in video games.  Download games and updates at night.  Place markers so you do not get lost.  Remember to save your game.  You need to predict the next move.  They make you think ahead.





I have an Xbox system.
Some of the games I like are Forza Horizon, Metro Redux, Half Life 2 and Sunset Overdrive.

The platypus

People thought the platypus was a hoax when they first saw it.  It looked strange.  It has a duck bill, a beaver's tail and the body of an otter.  It lays eggs, but it feeds its babies mammal milk.  It has venom.  It has no stomach, because it eats microbes that neutralize acids.  It has no teeth.  Its bill creates a watertight seal over the eyes and nose while it is swimming.  The platypus is found in Australia.

This summer my dad and I went to the town festival in Watkins.  We drove my dad's 1946 Chevy panel truck to enter it in the car show.  It rained hard on the way there.  We stuffed rags in the windows to keep the rain out.  We were hydroplaning on the road.  When we got to the car show it was still raining., but they still had the show. Not too many cars were entered.  Most of the cars there were owned by the people who put on the show.  Other car shows have lots of cars.  We spent most of the day hiding under the stage.  When we did go out walking, we stepped in many puddles.  Both my shoes got soaking wet.  The ditch by the train tracks looked like a river.  We could have gone canoeing or swimming.  By lunch time it had stopped raining.  We ate hamburgers at a food stand.  There are usually food stands at every car show.  I think food stands at car shows can make a lot of money.   More cars showed up to enter the show after the rain stopped.  By then the prizes had already been given out.
My dad won a first place trophy and the grand prize.

You need to put primer on so paint can stick to metal.
It's got something to do with chemicals. Iron and oxygen make rust.  I think the chemicals in Rust-oleum remove the oxygen.  I know this product
works. It's relatively cheap.  I rate this product 9-10.
