Not a good start on this project... you already lost 3 days, so you can forget about that .5862 models a day now....

Hey, I have been busy lately, haha...

I am going to update this weekend, and maybe sooner, but School has been awful lately.. Also I have just been all-around busy. Either way, updates soon enough...

Yeah, sounds like a good idea....... so add 6 days to the original date... which I believe is..... the 29th.... Might as well round it up to the 31st, haha.... cool?

So anyway... Like I said, I will start this back up on Friday...
