Gotta love flexible scheduling

Music mid-term - DONE
Engineering mid-terms - DONE in my sleep
History mid-term - DONE, even if it's not due for another week

All I need now is for the Flight class to get some good air time in so I can do the recording for my Biology/Anatomy project, and it's easy street this month. Man, if regular high school had only been this good.

Man, when I get done with the Jeep, it's going to be the sweetest vehicle that ever put rubber to asphalt. Ms.Maximoff's helping me stress-test it, we'll probably have it ready in a few months.

Stress-test, huh?

Is that a lot like chasing squirrels?

I keep hearing about this Jeep, but I haven't wanted to peek without asking.

It's over in the repair bay off to the side of the garage. Ms. Maximoff and I had to put it on a set of dollies and push it over there - that engine's so far gone it'd likely have blown up and killed us all if it ran for more than ten minutes.

I warn you, it's not a pretty sight at the moment. I took the torch to the body a day ago, and it's pretty much stripped down to the frame. Ms. Maximoff and I are heading into town to pick up a parts order for it this week.

I was going to try and find you and see if I could just take a look at the RX-7's transmission arrangement and see if I can't mimic something like it for each axle of the Jeep.

Feel free to take a look. As a matter of fact, I really should run into town for a few supplies myself this week. Why don't you and Wanda and I make a trip of it? And take my car. Hell, if you're going to mimic the transmission, you might as well take it for a bit of a spin to get a feel for it.

Take your car. Okay, part of me is doing that stupid little cartoon happy dance - but we'll need to take the van. Picking up quite a bit of stuff. I'd like to show you what we've got going, definitely. I think you'll be suitably impressed.

Hmm. Well, we'll take the van that time. Why don't you and I make a separate trip with my car, then? I mean, if you've got most of your class work done, like you said, I'm sure we could come up with another excuse to run into town?

Except not this afternoon. I have a date with a sunlamp.
