Pinewood Derby

Mr. Boy’s car is almost ready. He’s off from school on Friday (school district’s "recognition" of Veteran’s Day on Saturday) so we’ll get the wheels and axles on then, and take a picture of it to post here. He realizes we may very well lose the first heat and be unable to compete after that. Trying to ease his disappointment before it arrives. This first year, I said and Mr. B. agreed, will be our experiment. Next year we’ll know more about the local Cub Scout competition, and have some better idea what works best and can move accordingly. All very scientific, of course.
