Getting ready for 2012

Fall is in the air and it is time to disassemble my car and get it back into the basement. I have new ideas that I want to try this winter so that I am ready for 2012. I learned much from our 2011 competition and from experimenting with my car this summer. If I can, I would like to have it ready for the Fourth of July Parade in Whiting next year. I know that the 4th of July sounds like it is a long way off, but I can tell you that time flies.

Here we are at the end of September in the back yard wrapped up and safe from the fall rain storms that we have had.

Actually, I sat and looked at this scene last Sunday and could not bring myself to begin the disassembly process. I have to remember where every nut and bolt goes so that I can put it back together in the spring.

I am very excited about the 2012 competition. We are revising the rules, inviting more folks with ideas to the table and hopefully inspiring greater creativity.

Keep working; never stop thinking and inventing!
