So are you going to go for the remaining 6 days or cut off the shirt sales earlier?

I went down and spent all of it today, along with a little more out of my pocket for some items that students needed.  
Pretty practical things.    The hose clamps and 3" PVC fittings are needed for the exhaust on the cowlings, and the Japanese FuGo model.

I almost missed it myself, just happened to be browsing earlier and found the shirt thread. 2 more shirts.

I'm very behind, got some catching up to do! That bear is an interesting one.

We had planned to have the C-130 painted and ready for partial display on the 21st of this month for the 8th grade parents orientation to electives.   I know this was a bit optimistic, but thought, we can do this.  We did it last year with the F-22.  

Last year, one of my coworkers came in and looked at the F-22 and said something like, "You brought a freaken jet???!!!  We are all trying to show off our classes, and you bring a jet?!! "    It was pretty funny.  

I don't need to advertise my classes.  They are beyond full, and waiting lists happen every semester, but it's still fun to promote the program a bit.

I wanted to do this again.  Kids think we are going to struggle with that.

I looked at the calendar yesterday, and noticed a problem.   Spring Break starts NEXT FRIDAY AFTERNOON(entire week of 13-17)!!!!  
So, we've got a week to get some paint on this thing.

Let's get some paint pics up to sell 43 t-shirts.  When will the amount raised reset for crossing the 200 mark, or you won't see the bump til after the fundraiser ends?

That's the smart way to do something as big as an elk.

A nice one will have a tough time getting through the average home door otherwise, and a truly big one, forget about it!
