And the saga continues....

The competitor Reece was in perfect form today. We had the annual Pinewood Derby Races today for Boy Scouts. Reece kept most of his weight in wood on his car, while Brock cut most of it off. We had to add weight to each of their cars to make them heavier so they would run down the track.
The track is about 32 feet long and started at about 5 feet tall and went down to the ground.
Reece had painted his Red, white, green and black. I called it the Italian Stallion. Brock painted his black, blue and green. I didn't know quite what to call his except light. We had to add quite a bit of weight to his to get it within the rules.
Grandpa was helping to get the cars ready and put oil on Brocks wheels and then I read that we should not put oil on the wheels. I tried to wipe most of it off. Reece was telling his pack of friends that Brock was cheating 'cause he put oil on the wheels. (And that was BEFORE the race.)
Reece was up first. He placed 3rd every time. Needless to say, you can imagine how that went. I knew there was NO WAY he was even going to get an award for the design after seeing the 'ORCA" car. It was really neat, some one had actually made one of the cars in to the killer whale.
Brock placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd for his 3 runs. It still didn't quailify him for the finals. But they gave away and award for Most Creative and Best Design and wouldn't you know it... Brock won best design... Reece still won NOTHing!!

Nothing works better for a pity party then a PS2 rental...

and tomorrow... SKIING!!!
