Sheesh. Not bad for some girl with a computer.

Dang that's a nice looking car. It almost makes me want to model CN. Who made that?
I also installed my Bluford corn this week. It is a great product but as it comes from the box it is too neon green and spaced too far apart for Illinois corn. I painted the base of each row with burnt umber craft paint. I got to where I could paint a piece in 45 seconds--there were a lot of rows to practice on.I solved the spacing problem and doubled the density by staggering each piece so the only two of the locating pins go into two of the three locating holes on each piece. I had to cut off one cornstalk from every other piece. Since they are not aligned as they were designed to align I held them in place with GOO I painted 1,035 tassels with straw colored paint and misted on Model Master Olive Drab to tone down the shine.
What, no driver? Seriously, incredible!
