I have to change my engine oil every 20 hours after riding. And I have to change my transmission oil every 40 hours of riding.

Last Couple Weeks of School
I only have one week and two days of school left. My final day of academic school is on May 8th. But I graduate from high school on May 15th. The 8th is my last day of school because from the 11th through 15th my class will be decorating the Rec hall. We will be decorating for our graduation ceremony.
My Bike
I had to take my Trx450r out of my storage space this weekend. It was not able to start by using my electric start. And my bike does not have a kickstart. So I have to use my electric start all the time. So I had to attach a rope to my dads truck and had to pull start it.
When I pull start my bike I have to put my bike in second gear and hold my clutch. Once I get to an appropriate speed I have to let go of my clutch. And this will make the engine fire up. After the engine starts, I have to give it some gas by pushing the throttle to keep the engine going. After the engine stays on I detach the rope from my bike.
Once I got the engine started on my bike I brought it to my house. I was not able to take off with my bike. I was not able to take off because my clutch was sticky. It was not releasing after every time I pulled it. So I had to go to the store and by WD40 to spray on the clutch wires.
After I sprayed it a few times the clutch was a little better. I kept spraying the wires and pulling the clutch. I kept pulling it until it did not stick anymore. After the clutch was fixed I took it out for a ride. I drove it all through town and out of town.

Senior Skip Day
Two days ago everyone in my senior class skipped school. Every year the seniors at my school choose a day that they want to skip. Our class chose Tuesday to be our skip day. We chose Tuesday because it was the first school day of the week for us. It was the first school day of the week because we had parent teacher conferences on Monday.
For skip day everyone went to school at eight in the morning but left right away. Everybody went home until noon. At noon everyone went to one persons house. When we were at this persons house we just hung out and played games. We stayed at his house pretty much all day.

Trx450r
Yesterday I went to go check on my Trx450r that I bought late this summer. I had put it away around October last year. I put it away because it was not able to start anymore. It was not able to start because it was getting to cold outside. And my Trx450r only has an electric start and not a kickstart.
When I went to go check on it it was not able to start. It was not able to start because the battery was dead. The battery died because I forgot to disconnect it from my bike when I put it away. I was supposed to disconnect it because there is a short circuit somewhere in my bike that drains the battery. But it looked okay.

Weather
The past couple days of this week the weather has been slightly warm. On Wednesday the weather was really nice and calm. It was so nice that my class was able to go out to our ball field and play "softball." But we were not playing an actual game we all just took turns hitting the softball. It was pretty fun because I have not played softball in a long time.
On Thursday it was also really nice out. It was really nice in the morning and we went out to play softball again. In the afternoon it got a little colder but we went out and played softball again. It was kind of cold out when we were playing but it was not that bad. But it stayed sunny out for the rest of the day.
Today the weather is really cold. It is cold but it is not snowing at all. The sky is slightly cloudy. But it is mostly sunny and has been sunny the whole day. So the weather has been pretty nice for the past couple of days.

Hacky Sacking
Yesterday I played a game called hacky sack. A hacky sack is a small bag that is usually filled with sand or small beads. There are a lot of ways you could play hacky sack. But the most popular ways to play are games called "killer" and "elimination." These are the games that I played yesterday.
"Killer" is a game where you have to kick the hacky sack a certain number of times without letting it hit the ground. And once you hit it the certain number of time you have to catch the hacky sack. And the people who did not catch the hacky sack have to sit completely still. And the if one of the people move, the person who has the hacky sack can throw it at the person who moved. And if they hit the person who moved than that person is out.
"Elimination" is a game where you have to hit the hacky sack on your first attempt to kick it. If you miss the hacky sack when you first attempt to hit it than you are out. But if you miss the hacky sack after you already kicked it once than you are still in the game. If a person catches the hacky sack in their hands than they are out. And if a person gets out than every single person who was playing gets to throw the hacky sack at that person.
It was pretty fun hacky sacking yesterday. I was playing the games with Robert and Andrey. I was able to win a few times in each game. And I was doing pretty good even though I haven't played in a long time. But yea it was pretty fun to be able to play hacky sack yesterday.
