01/10/2004: "Cub Scouts Pine Wood Derby"

We are preparing for this years Cub Scout Pine Wood Derby. This is our third year, and every year we get a little better at making the car. It's not actually a car this time -- it's a bus. It's a CRAZY BUS!

Last year we made a police car -- and the year before that it was a red, white and blue race car. We've always done ok. We have not come in first, but certainly not last either!

Over Christmas break we carved the car and started painting it. This week we finished painting it and polished the axles as best we could. Today we added lettering to the side of the bus and sprayed it with a gloss coat of paint. Tomorrow we will put on the wheels.

Weigh-in is Monday night. The actual race is Tuesday. Wish us luck!
