As work continues on the Key West High Biodiesel car (sometimes called the Bio-Car), more and more parts are taken out, cleaned, repaired, or even replaced every day. On today's list of parts, the air-filter stood out among the other parts as being beyond filthy. It had to be sprayed down with a degreaser, scrubbed clean, and even sanded down before it was looking like it belonged in the car. Each day the mechanic team working on the car finds more parts to bring to working condition, and do a great job of doing just that.
Here's hoping they don't find anything much worse!

Another group, composed of volunteers, worked on beautifying our work area by removing paint from one of our many doors so that it may be repainted. The group scraped paint for nearly the entire class period, all so it can be redone to look as god as the pretty blue one next to it (you can see it in the side of the photo). Their hard work is actually to help reduce the energy our building uses. By painting these doors light colours, we can own some control over the natural heat-flow of the room, and use that to our advantage.
Plus, it's more fun than watching paint dry!

Bio-naut Clinton began work on the broken power washer. For reasons unknown (or at least untold) the old power washer just doesn't want to work. Mr. Clearman started the class with a bribe of chinese food to the student who could get it working. Many students jumped at the idea, but Clinton was the lucky volunteer who got to go to work on it.
It takes a real power-player to fix a broken power-washer!

And our up-and-coming locksmiths, Mary and Logan, work to installing locks on the "mysterious cabinet of destruction!" (also known as the old cabinet in the back of the class). Their project started quickly, and has kept that starting pace since then. It doesn't look like it'll be too long before they can work on another project! Their speed and gusto in completing their project is an inspiration to all the other groups to keep up the good work.
They found their target, and just LOCKED on!
