Ok, just because we senior members did it to you guys doesn't mean you need to follow suit. He was asking a question and he knew what the date was. It's his first post too! Cut him some slack!

Sorry about are newer members. Hopefully you enjoy your stay on here.

hey guys... its been a while, but there isn't much to update on. But do not worry, I am still working on this project. There isn't much i can do in the winter... it makes working on the steep hill real difficult. However, The most recent thing i have done was putting a roof over the station to keep snow off the car.

I am on spring break in two weeks, if i can get some nice weather i'd like to get some work done on the coaster, but thats all depending on weather and time...

I have a few other projects that have been taking up a lot of my time the last few times i was home.

Also, this is my senior year in college, and i have been applying to a lot of jobs that will be taking me away from home, so i am hoping to complete Timber before i get taken away for longer periods of time.


In summary... not much has been done, but i hope to get some work done and some more testing in the next few weeks... I will keep you updated.
