Pizza at the football game.
hello wonderful YouTube it's Alex so it's been too long since I made a video because things got busy I'm a very busy person but expect this weekend for me to make a video talking about my trip to Anaheim anyways so a couple weeks ago like two of them now was a football game it was the last football game of the regular season in fact we weren't even sure if we're going to the playoffs at that point because it was like we were teetering on the edge and we um we go in right we do our thing
and I'm singing the stands with my friends me and Aiden and you know we had this idea we were going to order a pizza and that's exactly what we did we ordered a pizza now that sounds you know mild not really big or anything but it was hilarious so you see um we weren't expecting our director to really approve of this he's normally our new director Mr Green is kind of grumpy not very um a very uh ideal on some of my ideas anyways we ordered a pizza we don't tell and as the pizza gets
near and here um we started chaining Joseph or the the not just another we were training like the pizza along the way the pizza got here me and Aiden went down and got it and the whole standard counting Joseph Joseph because we bought pizza for the seniors really um that was it like a couple of Juniors who got it and it was legendary let me tell you so we we get the pizza and we go back to where we sat and we distributed it was great but we didn't get to enjoy it very long
because then we had to go to halftime which you know or marching band we should really be ready for this and we go perform the idea it was our last regular game and the show was okay could have been better I mean you know the whole the whole ordeal is just legendary because like you don't expect a bunch of high scores order a pizza and it was really fun and we got to wear our Halloween costumes too so like we were really just straight up having a good time but
um but then of course we win the game and then we're confirmed going to playoffs which is fine I couldn't go to like the playoff game because I was in Anaheim which again I'm gonna get to that probably this weekend um but yeah that's kind of how we went it was really fun uh but yeah I'll see you guys later um peace out

Trains
hello wonderful YouTube it's Alex it's been a minute since I made a video just on the Fly I'm kind of bored but you see um when I was younger I had a grandfather I say when I was younger because he's like he passed like seven years ago so anyways I had a grandfather he was pretty cool he loved trains he had a bunch of I want to say they're 124 scale or 132 scale trains and they were really really cool and he also had a friend that was really big in the model trains that's
just what they did and it was really cool to see both of their their model trains run and um with time I um I never really got to appreciate it as a young child because like I would appreciate a lot more now but unfortunately um I I'm a lot I just wasn't old enough to really understand everything Unfortunately they both have since past my grandfather passed seven years ago and his friend passed four um but one of the things I got was a gift to my grandfather from his friend
let me show it to you guys now it's nothing fancy it was in fact it's actually a little damaged but it's a simple water tower to my knowledge it is a custom scratch build model because I don't see any manufacturer stamps on this model and it's pretty cool this does move has counterweights and everything and I should be a little careful that was a little forceful okay you can open the this door opens there's there isn't inside I'll I'll show you guys how to get that in a second I don't
think this one does I've tried and tried I just can't open it so I don't think it opens I'm not even sure what's in there if if there's anything in there but I don't want to open up the model because I don't want to damage it and so if you take the roof off you can do very carefully you see there's another roof and you're wondering wow that's so cool maybe take this roof off oh there's even like a handwritten note that says like this side towards water tower because that's the water
tower you take that off and inside there's a barrel which you can take out um inside is just like a chair some chairs a little furnace and a little cabinet and I think it's really cool the barrel just has some like miscellaneous tools like a actual person brush to clean it like a rake shovel and whatever this is I don't know what this is I think it's just a weight I I don't know what it is it's either a way or something that broke off but anyways it's a neat neat little Barrel stuff and in the Water
Tower you can't take it off you first gotta remove this ladder it just rests and you gotta be very careful you gotta grab the tower very carefully and move it and reveals nothing can't take it off because it's I think it's one big piece of wood I'm not sure how it was made um but there's nothing really much to see it's the same texture all the way around just like the stone and when you put it back on um let's put it back on and put everything back together we just put this back
in there the the roof ceiling piece like that and very carefully we slide on this which this roof secures the water tower to the build as if you didn't notice there's like a piece that overhangs but I don't want to really push it because I had to actually glue it back together very carefully a couple years when I received this um as my I guess inheritance but yeah that's really kind of neat I really appreciate it and I think this is one of the things because it was always on display in
his um I don't remember if it was in this office or in the reading Nook in their house but just understand that this thing really inspired my love for trains and to this day I still really liked them they're really cool things I don't I'll never be able to afford my own model train land I mean if you've seen the price of some of those engines they're like 400 just for an engine and that's why I picked Lego and who knows maybe one day I'll try to recreate um this um building in Lego
might have to change it the roof might not be a cone shape it's probably going to be um what do you want to call it's probably going to be some something a little easier to do and the chains I have no clue how I do it they might it might have to be a fixed position thing or a chain doesn't exist but only time will tell but yeah that's a little snippet about something I was given a few years ago and yeah I'll see you guys later peace out

One Year Later
hello Wonderful World YouTube it's Alex and today's November 30th 2022 and for many of you guys it was another average day Wednesday however you've been around here a long time you'll know a year ago today I I wouldn't say really close friend but someone I knew passed away Wainwright from the old Minecraft server I used to play on who's a good man and he was really optimistic about the future of that server and one day he passed away of a heart attack I
mean that day really showed me a lesson that life is I guess short um because I had been talking with them and he even complimented some of my Lego building designs I had done um and he said they were really good and I was going to make another one soon and how I he never got to see it um and it's to this day it's a little hard but I feel like I need to honor him because he was a good man good man of Good Intentions and oh guy I really wish life didn't go that way yeah that's really about it um see ya
