//__Please answer these three questions each time you make a journal entry.__// 4/1/10 Bret, I looked for the video link on your homepage but couldn't find one. Did you get it downloaded yet and to where? If you have the bike at school some day, let me know-would love to see it! Now you need to start thinking about the presentation at the end and getting your binder done. Now that the bike is complete, you don't have to continue the weekly journaling if you don't want. Check out the SLC assignments on my school web page to see what will be due over the next few weeks leading up to the presentations, they are posted up to May when you will be finished! Happy riding! Mrs. Melin

2/22/10 Bret, How exciting to be working on your bike!! Wow, was it lucky that those pieces fit that range of bikes, but like you said-lesson learned! (Tanner can agree with you on those types of lessons, as he's learned some too in ordering parts) Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the finished product! Mrs. Melin PS. When posting your journal entries, include the date with them!

1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? As of this moment the bike is almost completed. The engine is complete and should run but we wont know until we have the engine oil, coolant and the gas tank on the bike. After school today i am going to complete all of these steps so if the bike is going to run it will be running tonight. I am going to upload all of the pictures onto wiki tonight and hopefully a video of the first starting of the bike. 2.What do you need help with I don't need any help with anything right now. Everything that is left to do on the bike i am able to complete without Joes help.
 * Falling behind schedule
 * Having some trouble with certain pieces
 * Making Great Progress
 * Moving Along Fine
 * Stuck and need help

3.Journal below about the progress you are making on any aspect of your Senior Project: lessons learned, information obtained, contacts with mentors or advisors, etc.. I have learned that things aren't what they seem, i have found a lot of different things on the bike that i have had to replace that wasn't in the original plans for all of the parts. But some of them i can get away without having them on the bike. I will eventually replace them but they are not needed to have the bike running though. (03/26/2010)

Jan 21, 2010 Bret, it would be great if you did some journaling to keep us informed of the progress you are making toward getting parts ordered and making arrangements to get working on your bike! Mrs. Melin
