Uh...I mean OUR creation.
He's actually spray painting it himself! I'm so proud of him. He'll be putting the clearcoat on and then the stickers on sometime this afternoon. After that, all that's left is the wheels. I'm gonna have to break out the power tools on Thursday and bore out a hole to put in some weights. I know it's gotta be underweight.
I went to the Army Navy store looking for a blue skull cap to wear under my 76th helmet and wound up picking up some doo-dads for his Pinewood Derby car. I grabbed some yellow and green snake themed stickers. (Bryonsboas would absolutely love it, I'll have to send him photos when we're done.) Here they had an extra wheel set, and luckily I grabbed it. Didn't the little stinkers lose the wheels from the original box on me already? The axles are shinier than the ones in the original box, so they've been polished. I'm hoping they run slightly faster than the originals...
Hope the politics don't go crazy this year like last year. The Pack collects the cars on Thursday night, then brings them in a huge box on Saturday morning so the kids are less likely to forget them. Seems last year, the Pack leader had the box of cars and his son won the Derby. Some people were pissed. I was a little more understanding. His oldest is in Boy Scouts and worked his way up from first grade and the kid that won had been in Derbys for his fourth year, so the man's had a BIT of practice (hrmmm...9 years?) and of course his car might be slightly better.
Some people. *sigh*

LOL! No need to be scared of them MSB. They're just tools, extensions of yourself. I love 'em. Sure make my life a lot easier.
Happy Thursday 76th! Hope everyone is having a shiny week.

mornin' soldiers.
I missed y'all too.
The other party was decent. Their decorations weren't as in-depth as ours, but they did have the bouncer/bartender combination that worked well for them. They had a pretty decent variety of music too, but no real food (we had $80ish of Chinese takeout). Zeph and I visited the other parties to check them out, and it seemed from both what we saw and what we heard that ours was the best. *shrug* Maybe next year. :)

Dude, jerking off on my mom is one thing. But banging your grandmother and her roommates? That's like... legendary.
