  1. Over the month of November and into December, we were invited to take part in multiple toy drives at various Scotty's Brewhouse locations across the state of Indiana. The toys collected at these drives were to benefit the children of Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Here's a few that I was able to attend.

  2. YAY!!!! We were finally able to get back to this build last night. We worked on this until about 4am this morning, so needless to say, we're little worn out right now.

     

     

    Mom and Dad got there homework done since our last session. They finished the limbs with coverstrips and added the snap plates.

    William's new boots arrived Friday, perfect timing.

    He just couldn't handle the excitement anymore, he nodded off around midnight while worked at the helmet, strapping, belt, etc....

    And here is his first full fitting. HE LOVES IT!!! Definitely requires some tweaking and strap reworking, especially those bells, but pretty pleased with how this came out. This is my first helmet build, not my favorite part by a long shot. There's a lot of time consuming adjustments trying to get those ears to sit correctly, but i'm sure it's just due to inexperience. We did decide to use fokker210's idea on what to do with the mic tips, so thanks for sharing, it was very helpful.

  3. Reading this months newsletter, I took to heart the slow down in field training exercise reports. I used to report after every troop, then issues with the uploading to photobucket (not a good excuse I know) and then I took somewhat of a leave of absence from trooping over these last couple of months due to personal reasons. Now i'm back in full swing and like I used to, signing up for any of them I can do.

     

    The Bloodfin Garrison and Fire Team 500 were out in full force and pulling double duty yesterday. Our first troop was the 8th Annual Vision Walk in downtown Indianapolis. We put smiles on tons of faces that would make the emperor proud.
