Christian
Thank you very much for all of your comments ❗
christian grat invent.!!!! I Love it. how hevy wus it.
Thank you! I don’t know how heavy it is, but including the leafblower, it is probably somewhere around 30 pounds. We just used one quarter inch of plywood, plastic, tape, screws, a plastic ovaltine lid, a few staples, and the leaf blower. It lifted me pretty easily, so it must be pretty light weight!: (I think it could have even lifted Dad ❗ )
Hey Christian, That is pretty cool. I was wondering, how you control the direction you are going?
Also, Ken, why are you breathing so hard in the background. Maybe you better come back to Oregon where it isn’t so hot and humid.
We sure missed you guys at convention time. The Alex, Courtney and I went to Saginaw I. Courtney went to Boring I with the Christensens. Mike & Alex & Courtney got all of Boring II and I got most of it. Kara went on her own to Boring I. Hope you all are doing well. Take care of each other. Colleen
Thanks, Colleen. We would have loved to have been at convention in Oregon. We will be heading to convention in North Carolina. You will have to get out here to visit us as soon as you get the chance!!! It is great to hear from you.

Awesome Christian. Very good job.
Happy Birthday!
Whoah! That is WAY COOL! Great job, Christian! Now I want one of my own.
Rubber boat $24.95, sheet of plywood $12.00, Gorilla tape $5.00, video of Christian’s Hovercraft… PRICELESS!!!!!
I think Aunt Julia, the Parrish’s, and Miss TerBone captured the sense of this little adventure. It truly WAS priceless. The whole exercise was about as good as it gets for an eleven year old and his dad.

Looks like fun to us. Good job. Ron and Carol
wow1how neat !good job!!!!!!!!!!
That was incredible. Did you charge the kids in the neighborhood to take them for a ride? John really liked it! See you soon!
Christian, Looks like quite an amazing invention!!! We are impressed and want to see it when we visit. Hope that will be before too long. Our weather is in the 90’s tomorrow and feels quite warm to us. Everyone missed seeing you at Boring. Julia, your sister and aunt got a job at Nike, something to do with presenting new pdts. in one division. We’ll know more after she has been there for a while. She said she was quite overwhelmed with all they presented her the first day. She got on thru another lady she met on the Dragon Boat team for the Rose festival. It is temporary for six months and she hopes it will lead to a permanent postition. Mom P.S. Have you started home school yet? Have you met others in that program?
