Form III was assembled to make sure it was ready to go. We left it put together. I hope Neil will not mistake it for the ATV and try to start it. If anyone sees Neil tell him "If it's green it's not the machine"

There's enough snow and more then enough ice for the annual Lake Lucerne Bottle Rocket War. We'll be back in 2 weeks to build forts, fire rockets, and toast the new snow.
