Hey Guys,
Today:
Ben is welding a place for our control box.
Most of the crew is working on our body work to finish shaping it for the frame.
The process is very messy, it makes the entire room smell like apples.
And i have no idea why but i think its the burning epoxy.
And not the apple fruity smell but the apple pie/apple cider kind of apple smell.
Sean is spying!!!
on people...
Okay that is all for today thanks for putting up with our delay!

Hey Kaylene here,
Sean sitting in the chair...
and SiYon sitting behind me and
Thomas also.... OH and Grrrrg.
(yes that is his name...)
and Logan is in here for the day! GO LOGAN!!
(The person, not the school)
Today:
Ben and Kelen are working on mounting the engine.
Nekuda is working on steering.
Craig is working on the body, getting everything smooth.
Logan is building some of the parts we need for the steering and ackerman part of the car.
That is what is happening for today.
Not much, most of us are a little slow for these past few days from getting back to work after not working for at least five days.
We had a long weekend.
That is all folks!
Sean and Kaylene

Kaylene here!
We just got back from a long weekend & here's whats going on around the shop:
We came back and tried to move our car to a different location and the tire rod broke... it might be just from a bad welding job. (The other class accidentally switched ours with their tire rod.) I keep asking what we're doing and all Sean is replying is "that's what she said."
Nekuda and Sean are working on the steering. They need certain parts to finish the mock-up steering in the spare car.
Thomas came up with formats of new plans. GO THOMAS!!
Kelen is working on something that i can't see from the computer desk...
(that would be the frame)(it is in the other room)
He is also working with Ben.
That is basically all for today ,so hope you are satisfied!!
Love ya'll
Kay :)
Sean (once again had to correct this post for errors)

Hello again World,
It's time for the update on the Powerdrive Team and Bellevue East.
We have been working through the weather though
some of our team mates are our sick for illnesses unknown.
But we are still working through this weather.
We are getting more snow today.
It doesn't really affect our work in the shop but it does affect how we
can
or cannot get to the shop and some of the supplies we need.
The shop smells bad today. The epoxy we lay on our car smells
bad really close.
But we use it anyway.
And it works.
That's pretty much all for today.
School group photos were today.
Because of this the entire day has been hectic.
Sincerely,
-Sean
-Kay

Well Hello Folks,
Today is a rather slow day again here in the shop,
Kelen is sanding down the FRP,
Mr. J and Nekuda are cutting out our brakes from a solid piece of metal (using the plasma cutter),
We (Kaylene & Sean) are blogging so our follower(s)(<-- hopefully more will follow!)
know what it takes to make a great racing vehicle! (battery powered of course)
Here is SiYon to tell you about what makes a great team here in the shop...
"hugs"
(Hugs don't make a great team. Hardwork, determination, and perseverance makes a great team. -Sean)
Well that was kinda weird...
Some of our teams members are out today due to various reasons. This would be the main reason of the slow day.
We can't get much done without the people here to do the work.
But yea... We will update you on more around here when we have a faster, more productive day:).
Your PD students:
Kay:) & Sean
Also, some help from SiYon

IT'S FINALLY FEBRUARY.
Okay, today involves:
sanding (Kelen & Gage)
welding(Nate, Thomas, & Ben)
designing(Sean)
building(Greg)
grinding(Kyle)
Spying(The rest who are not listed)
Blogging(Sean, Kay, & SiYon)
There seems to be a reoccuring theme with Kyle and some sort of grinding or sanding?
I think so!
Kelen is sanding the car body, again.
Nate & Thomas are welding random items that Greg builds,
(they're practicing to get better at welding)
Sean is designing the frame,
Greg is building things for Nate & Thomas to weld,
Ben is welding the roll cage,
Sean, Kay, and SiYon are working on the blog,
(Kay is typing, Sean is correcting Kay every five seconds for some typing or grammatical error, and SiYon is offering input)(thank whomever invented spell check -haha very funny-kay)
Everyone else is just spying on the others to see if they have some other input on whatever they think needs or could be changed.
We are using FRP for the body. It is used for making showers. It is like a plasicy, fiberglass material. We chose this because it is flexible enough for our needs. We were originaly going to use fiberglass, instead we chose FRP because its expensive to make and we are on a tight budget. Fiber glass by itself is a pain in the rectum... (Sean chose that vocabulary word for today! instead of one that was much less appropriate)
Yours Tiredly,
-Sean & Kay-
