try outs

A few weeks ago on tuesday i had basketbll try outs.Our coach for basketball is Andy davis he is also a very good coach. so the first day of try outs we ran and did drills and after my legs hurt to walk. the next day i did a little streching before so my legs did not hurt as bad as they did the first day. But the still hurt. A few weeks ago the seahawks played the packers and i though we were going to walk all over them. After the first few minutes the seahawks were up 14-0. but then it started to snow and we started to start makeing mistakes.and that day we lost by a lot.

Basketball

Today is our first basketball as 8th graders. And we get to play the Lms cougars vs. the Lms cougars. THis year 3 people got cut and last year they did not get cut.

On sunday was the super bowl. Pats against the gaints and i wanted both teams to win but the gaints more. Last year the Colts won and the quarterback was peyton manning and the year after his brother won the super bowl. The pats had a almost perfect season. Next year i hope that the seahawks have a good season and go to the super bowl. And i would like the steelers never to win a game again.

Eskimo Ice Fishing

When the Eskimos went ice fishing they had a box and a rod. Inside the box was bait, knife, rod and string. The type bait was the Eskimos used was always live bait so the fish would come. When they used live bait, it was mostly worms. If you were smart you would check to make sure the ice was strong enough to walk on so you would not fall in. As the Eskimo would wait for there fish to come up they would sit on the box so they did not get cold. Also so they did not go through the ice as easy. Most of the time when the Eskimos went ice fishing they would sit there for hours and wait a bit and try to not let it got. Most Eskimos went ice fishing by themselves so if they went under not a lot of people would hear them. When spring came they did not dare to walk on the ice. Eskimo ice fishing would also include several different concepts, like the hunting of seals and sea lions for their oil and fur, and also the exploitation of these animals to capture fish. Seals and sea lions are left free but harnessed and their throats bound with cord. When they swam underwater to catch fish, the cords would prevent them from swallowing their catch. The actual Eskimo ice fishing practice is really no different from today’s methods, chipping a hole in the ice and putting the lure through. Eskimo fishermen would catch all the fish they can, stringing unconsumed fish and drying them in the sun. They would salt these fishes and store them over periods as long as a year.

hunting

e Eskimos had many ways for hunting.The animal that the Eskimos hunted the most was the whale for there mouth, blubber and bone.Eskimo were great hunters. When the Eskimos went fishing they would cut a hole on the ice and sit on the box. As they wait they sit quietly and wait for the fish to come and bit on the bait. When they went hunting fir walrus and seal they died seal and walrus was to heavy for the Eskimos to carry so they would have the dogs carry them on the sled. The Eskimos had many hunting techniques for hunting. They could sit for hours without success. It required a lot of skill and patience. You had to be very quick to be able to do this. A fisherman must act quickly to catch it when a fish swims into view. Eskimos also usually caught Arctic char and Arctic trout. In spring when the seals were out on the ice. Eskimos would hide behind fabric sheets to stalk the seals. They used spears to hunt the seals. THe way the Eskimos got walrus and seal is they would go out in the kayaks. Somehow they would not flip and lose the seal.
