Hi From Sunny South Florida! |
Gwen and I are down in Florida visiting her extended family in the West
Palm Beach area. We took the train down from Charleston since it was only a fraction of the
cost of flying. The train was about two hours late, but that is practically on time for Amtrak!
Anyway, the weather is beautiful and we are having a great time. Today, Gwen and I went swiming in
her aunt's pool, and she was nice enough to take a few pictures.
Here they are! |

School's Out! |
Well, I just got back from my graduation ceremony for
Nuclear Power School. It has
been a very busy 6 months, and while there were times that I though I
would never finish the time really flew by when I look back on it. I've
posted some pictures my girlfriend took for me during the ceremony, so
be sure to check them out. Now that I have successfully passed the Comp
(the 4-hour comprehensive exam given at the end of Nuke school) and
graduated from NNPTC, I have a nice 2-week break before I start
prototype in May. Those two weeks look pretty jam-packed, as I am
planning to go to Florida to visit with Gwen to visit some of her family
and then head back to Indiana for a week. After that, we will be hitting
the IR/CWCC Spring Regionals in Hagerstown, MD. I've been looking
forward to this for a while! I'll do my best to post an update or two in
the mean time, but I may or may not get around to it. Definitely,
though, I'll be putting together a feature on the Spring Regionals when
I get back. |

"It's Been a Long Time... |
Gettin' From There To Here." Anyway last summer
I had the chance to build Polar Light's 1/350th scale NX-01. Be sure to
check out the article I wrote about it below.
This week has really been crazy. I had one test
this week, but there are two next week plus the comp right after that.
Consequently, I have been putting in a LOT of hours...this week is
easily the most hours I've put in, ever. This is literally the final
push to the end, but there is definitely a light at the end of the
tunnel. I just hope it isn't an oncoming train! |

First of all, just to get it out of the way, this
update is in no means an April Fools joke. I'm just not feeling that
ambitious ;). Actually, it has been a rather draining week. Even though
we didn't have any tests, I did have the PRT on Thursday (which I
passed!), and the school seemed to think that not having a test would be
an excellent excuse to sock us with a ton of extra homework and more
class than usual. Anyway, I got a new digital camera today, and I have
promptly put it to use by making this update, a review of the Art Asylum
Enterprise E I got a couple of weeks ago. Make sure to check it out. |
