New Addition to the House


After welcoming a baby mouse to the house (saved from the jaws of death ie a frat house's shenanigans), it unfortunately expired. Rest in peace, little mousie! The next addition is fortunately not alive. It is a piece of an airplane built by LJ, honorary Loj member DH, and yours truly, under the auspices of Build to Fly, the nonprofit airplane-building venture headed by Brett Zefting, the assistant director of Outdoor Ed.

Full disclosure: this is not actually a piece of an airplane, it is a learning project we had to build before we moved on to actual airplane parts. My overarching goal - to put a clock in the bottom lightening hole and maybe a picture or barackobameter in the top one - accounts for any imperfections. Wrong size rivet? That's ok, I'm not gonna fly this baby, it's gonna sit on the mantel and tell time.
