Hey! the fact that I am a 3rd gen owner is nothing to be ashamed of! No worth in pointing that out. I'll keep track of the updates, but as always I don't want to rsvp until the event is closer.

We are going to fabricate a gun turret for EasyMC's ride. Don't forget to bring your protractor. After that we are going to attach a Saturn Five rocket to Russel's Explorer so that he can boldly go where no Explorer has gone before.
