Go-Kart Ideas

Hello, people of earth. If you viewed my previous blog you would know that I will be receiving a go-kart kit soon. I found out that it will be in this Wednesday when I go to school, and I want it to look and perform like no other. I have an idea that since my dad works for a paint company I may be able to get some by writing a  persuasive letter. I would also have to ask for the labor too since I have very little skills in the paint field of work. I also am not sure what color I should make it, so I need some suggestions via comments.
I have one other problem that is very key to the kart. I don't have an engine for the kit go-kart and I don't exactly have the amount that I need. I am shooting for a 6 HP engine that is made for go-karts, or it runs horizontally. I would need somewhat of a financial boost to get me there, so please don't forget you can donate a amount small as five dollars to help get this show on the road literally.
Don't be scared to post a question, color for the kart, or anything else. Lastly please donate a little bit to the engine and my scratch build kart because I need every penny I can get.

Bright Side

Hello peeps, how are you? I am having mixed emotions about the re-entering of the school season, or for most of the adults there break is off too. It is time to get back into the rhythm of school/work and it kind of stinks. I understand that, but as my classmate, La Petite Maison, would sing," Always look on the bright side of life," and admit that you sang that in your head. My bright side is that I have a go-kart kit waiting for me this week, but remember your bright side can be smaller than that. I am also bright about how I may be completely done with all of my schematics for my build from scratch go-kart, and am close to the building process. I hope you had happy holidays.
Thanks for viewing the support really helps and don't be afraid of donating five dollars or more to help build the go-kart, and trust me it will go to good use.

Go-Kart Surprise

Hey guys and gals. I am very excited for the holiday season, for what, EVERYTHING! I honestly love the Christmas season because of the good energy, and the only holiday that has its own songs that take over radio stations. I have recently heard that I will receive a "prize" if I finish all of my go-kart's system schematics by December 21. I have not a clue what it is, but I have been told multiple times that if I don't finish on time Mrs. Kolbeck will tell me what it is without giving it to me,and there is no way that will happen because I can just think about all the things it could be... I will be ready for it even if I have to work all night to get all of them done. I also feel saddened by the fact that one of our students, Monica is leaving to go back to Nicaragua this Friday. I may also have a good bye surprise for her. 



I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and any other holiday this season. Thank you for viewing I really appreciate it.

3 Days of Thanksgiving

Hello, viewers. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As you can see I had three more or less Thanksgiving meals. My first "Thanksgiving" meal was a clash of two birthday parties at my grandmothers house on Wednesday. Doo, my grandma, proclaimed to be her Thanksgiving meal. We had two different types of pasta and three types of french bread. It was my cousin's and my sister's birthday party, but it was really my cousin's birthday. On Thanksgiving day my family went to Tony's, a friend's house Thanksgiving meal. This was the traditional kind of meal with turkey, corn, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and much more. I enjoyed playing with his younger kids who loved to play with us. Lastly, my other grandparents from Illinois showed up for a surprise visit to our house. Julie, my stepmother, didn't know that they where coming, but her sister Amy kept the secret. Amy has four boys that I took to the park with my two sisters to play football. After a long game we all came home to eat. We had ambrosia, turkey, ham, and the best bread rolls ever. Julie made enough for twelve or so people to have about three rolls, but we ate them all. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Colorado

Hey viewers, this weekend I went to Colorado. I had a ball with my step-mother Julie. We drove to Estes Park, and did some sight seeing. When we got to Estes park we found this little town area with cool gift, toy, candy stores. Julie and I walked around for a while to look for some gifts for my sisters(Emma,and Grace) and my cousin, Victor. We found a shirt for Emma and Victor, and an awesome blown glass necklace for Grace. Victor's shirt is his birthday present, SHH! I also finished my book in Colorado, and if you knew me you would know that is an accomplishment. Here are some Colorado pictures.





Thank you viewers and followers.

Professional

Hey viewers, how are you. On Monday I went to Byrd Wielding & Fabricating to ask for professional advice for my go-kart plan as seen below. He told me that this wasn't even half of what he needed for the go-kart plan. He suggested that I made a side view of the kart to show more depth of the whole cart, and he though that I should make a lift area in the back for the reason of my engine would scrape the ground when I installed it and drove it. Also, he was thinking that I should get steering and brake kits. It would be very complicated for me to build a brake system with little knowledge of what I am doing. As a result of that feedback I looked around some websites to find kits for that kind of thing and came across SpiderCarts. I found some cool decently priced kits, but it was not exactly what I was looking for. If anyone is out there comment me a good go-kart parts website. I will be very thankful for that.
