yup i'm 2.5 weeks away too. It's definitely a NY thing. But then again us new yorkers get a break in February and in April so that makes up for it.

i too get off the 16th....our school has the nickname of holiday high cuz we get a lot of days off of school like in november we did not have a single FULL week of school, every week we would have a 3 day weekend Big Smile [:D]

not too much progress but still enough for an update: finnished off the radio, added scratchbuilt headphones, and antenna, making new backs for the seat cuz the latter ones were too flimsy, put more detail on the inside of the driver's and radio operators windows, repainted (yes ANOTHER coat of paint) the interior, figured that i should just weather everything once im done with all of the interior

To get a dust free finish clear your area where you are painting a couple of hours before painting. That will allow the dust to settle. Then clear the model of any dust.

Toby mac, He's alright. Country is popular around here so you learn to live with it. I personally dont think its bad.

 

Gringe, you sayin we're stupid over here?Big Smile [:D] You should have seen our "high school exit exam." what a joke. We have to pass a test basically to get out of highschool. I could have past that test in 7th grade, I had a 101 degree temperature and I still passed. (I had to go cause there were going to be no makeups!)

Well it rained here over night and a little bit right now. I think I'm going to tak me truck through the mud. Big Smile [:D]

you coulda gone to see mudvayne!?!  And you didn't go! for shame! Wink [;)] Im still in HS, they just make us take the exit exam sophmore year so if we dont pass then we can take again next year.

You guys enjoy your "snow days". I'm having a good ole time here in the sunny 65 degrees. And If I want snow, I just take a 2hr drive up into the mountains. But I dont want snow, snow is cold.

I found My camera. It was in my sisters truck from when she visited for thanksgiving. I'll post pics up a bit later.

Frog, I'll add you to the list then too.

but its cold!

I guess the only thing we have like that is foggy days. Gets foggy out here. But sometimes its clear in town so I still have to go to school. But the news says it's supposed to be really bad on tuesday, lets hope. I'll still have to go to school, just like 2 1/2 hours later than normal.

I hate the cold. I'm countin down the days to when its 102 degrees. Swimming, no school, swimming, baseball,  fireworks (actually an all year thingWink [;)]), extra sleeping, longer days, and swimming. Summer.........!

reb, you loser!! thats great, foggy days.  freshmen year we had about 3 days canceled due to, and i quote, "the wind."  they were afraid the little tots would get blown away waiting for the bus!  that was a good year...

then last year, we had only one day off, and that was because a watermain broke nearby.  NO SNOWDAYS.  lets keep our fingers crossed shall we? 

work- none done
