Hi all,
How have you liked the Backyard Ballistics unit? I think Lt. Tallman and Lt. Clark have done a great job showing us a variety of interesting ways to launch potatoes and other assorted vegetables. Also, I need to give a big shout out to Carl and Anthony for a great presentation of their pneumatic potatoe chucker last week. They went all out and it showed. Great project! Remember, next week we will work on the marshmallow shooters and the next week will be our test so study your verse (Hebrews 4:14-15). Here are some links to websites Lt. Tallman talked about if you've got the urge for a neat home project. http://www.siege-engine.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jolYDinb_50# Last but not least, here is the link to Lt. Lutz's illustration from his very excellent CR. Let it remind you that it matters very much what we fix our eyes on. http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com/2009/the-break-of-the-curveball/
Canoe Trip Update: We got tested hard with the weather this past weekend so the canoe trip didn't get completed as we had hoped. But, the area is very beautiful and a great trip so we may plan to do it again in the spring. Stay tuned.
Blessings,
Captain Hayden

From September 29th
Hi all,
We've had two really good meetings the last couple weeks with Lt. Tallman showing us a simple to build but really fun water rocket and Lt. Clark's awesome Tecbuchet. That thing looks almost like an amusement park ride. I could see people being shuffled into the bucket to provide the weight and someone on the business end getting flung into a big net. Don't get any ideas about trying that at home though unless you have parental supervision of course. Anyway, Council Ring's been great too. Seeing Jesus face to face someday is something we sing and pray about but for many, it remains a very abstract thing which was illustrated quite well in the song Lt. Anderson shared with us. We do all want to go to heaven, just not right now. Interesting thought to wrap our heads around. In the mean time, Lt. Adams counciled us to flee from temptation like Sampson did not. Thanks to all who are putting in the time to make this a great year. Remember, next week is dedicated to presenting your progress in your work with your mentors. Lts. and Non-coms, there will be a planning meeting at 12:15 this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
