    Deer Brains & Finals

    First off I would like to apologize for not providing any updates lately. I have two excuses. #1, I got a bad case of deer brains during deer season. I put a lot of hours in the stand and got nothing done on my sled. That didn't help things. #2, Finals are upon me. I have really good grades going this semester and i'd like to keep it that way. I am basically done with all of my classes, but I have to study really hard to attempt the Cisco CCNP BCMSN certification on Monday. Updates should be more prevalent from this point forward. That being said.... back to the sled!

    I have gotten a couple things done on the sled since the last update. Motor is mounted in the sled, cooler is mounted on the tunnel, etc. I hope to have it running this weekend. I have another $65 order at Sport Motors I need to pick up to finish the motor. Scott is bugging me to go to the U.P. right after my cert on Monday... but i'm trying to hold myself back. I know I can only afford probably two trips this year, so i'd rather get my sled tested and tweaked well; and go up when there's a big pile of snow.

    Enjoy a couple pics of the project as it sits currently...

    Finally an update on here! I've been waiting. Thought you would update it the day it snowed ;-) Hope to see you soon. Good luck with your certification exam and getting that thing to ruN!

    Priorities straight?! Haha, never heard that before. ;-)

    I wanted to put pics up of the blizzard, but of course I don't have a nice camera. Hopefully soon it will be a video of my sled running. :-)

    Hi Lou, You are such a cute little writer. You forgot to say that one of the reasons you weren't getting anything done is becasue you have a gorgeous girlfriend that you needed to spend HOURS AND HOURS WITH! :) I love you!
