Oh, that sounds WONDERFUL, Mike! Good job, Grand Daddy!

When I was a kid, I wanted to build a soap box derby car REAL bad (the race was in nearby Akron)........but I was a girl, and it was the '50's..........

About daughter's soccer games. These indoor games are in Cleveland, more than an hour away. More than two hours drive for a one hour game.

We'd better get rewarded some day for these parental sacrifices. ;o)

The Pine Derby is a block of wood, 4 axles and 4 wheels that weigh about 4 ounces and by the time your done carving on it and adding ornaments, it must weigh 5 ounces. Soap Box Derby's are much more involved, I'm looking forward to helping my two grandson's with their's when their older. Their Daddy would do it if he wasn't "Power Tool" and "Mechanically" challenged :-)
