It snowed here about 7 inches. We might have off school tommorow because none of it is gone and it's gonna be 35o all day.

Tigers like pepper. They hate cinnamon.

^What??

No school tomorrow!!! Now I'll have more time to work on my collaboration with Hiyadudez on Instructables.

**BGTKing** · #**729** 01-31-2010, 10:38 PM

Haven't seen The Hangover I assume.

On ibles, everyone is talking about The TNKIT
I assume it's a contest, but where, what, how?

And I'm afraid another "big" project won't come soon. I'l mostly try competing in the various little contests. I just made a k'nex walker that's pretty big (actually the biggest I've seen so far)

YouTube- Big K'nex Walker

^^Yeah, I haven't seen it.

^I don't know much about the TNKIT, but it's a contest that has been going on for a long time. It has different rounds, and it's on round 4. The organizer has had computer problems, so round 4 hasn't been announced yet. Signing up is over, so you won't be able to enter.

**Kairah** · #**732** 02-01-2010, 09:59 AM

It started in June 2009, I won round one but didn't enter for round 2 (guns).

Shadowman · #**733** 02-01-2010, 11:02 AM

Was it the train you entered? I_am_Canadian's Twister ball machine won the third round.

**The KNex Weasel** · #**734** 02-01-2010, 11:57 AM

I don't visit Instructables nearly as much as I should.

**pkiknex25** · #**735** 02-01-2010, 12:44 PM

Hey guys! Just thought I'd pop in and see what's going on.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kevin and one of the staff members over at SSC.

**Coaster105** · #**736** 02-01-2010, 01:22 PM

^^Instructables bores me. 9/10 threads are about guns. Though i do check periodically to see if there's anything new from IamCanadian, cause he is one of my favorite builders. Gotta get him on this forum, lol.

Any ideas at all?

Have you updated Flash and/or Shockwave to the newest versions?

Ye and no, Twister was for another competition.

**Coaster105** · #**739** 02-01-2010, 02:41 PM

^^ yeah, they are both updated.

lazor 22 · #**740** 02-01-2010, 06:15 PM

Might break out my knex tonight and start on a new lift system. Don't have school tommorow so I can work as long as I want.

There's lots of stuff on there that aren't guns, it's a cool website (which is why I'm most active there). I'm also paying money to be Pro there.

^I'm also working on a new lift system, it's pretty big (so I won't be making an Instructable of it, lol). I'm also out of school tomorrow, this makes 5 straight days of no school (including the weekend).

**BGTKing** · #**742** 02-02-2010, 10:56 AM

It has been that cold to keep the snow and ice from melting?

Shadowman · #**743** 02-02-2010, 11:49 AM

Sort of, the ice on the branches of trees have melted, but the snow is still there. But some of it melted.

lazor 22 · #**744** 02-02-2010, 11:59 AM

Yea the snow has melted some but it gets down to like 15 each night and the next day it has to start all over again.

**Coaster105** · #**745** 02-02-2010, 01:37 PM

Its been in the 50's for weeks strait now, with non stop rain. Havn't had any snow since november. Its funny, they are so worried about the snow level on cypress mountain( one of the Olympic venues), that they are packing in hay bales and putting them down first, and then making a little bit of snow to cover them.

**BGTKing** · #**746** 02-02-2010, 02:23 PM

So there is not going to be a lot of real snow at the Olympics?

**Coaster105** · #**747** 02-02-2010, 02:40 PM

Not at that particular venue. The nordic, apline and sking, bobsled, ski jumping, is all at whistler, which is a much higher elevation and has lots of snow. They don't need to make snow there. However at cypress, where they are doing ski cross, halfpipe and all the snowboarding events, they just don't have much snow. Its a very low elevation. So they have been making snow like crazy there for the past month.

Shadowman · #**748** 02-02-2010, 09:07 PM

I was hoping school would be closed tomorrow, instead it's opening 2 hours late. Oh well, it's better than nothing I guess.

I made a huge pencil holder out of duct tape, it's really strong. XD Also, Hiyadudez and I are almost done with our Instructable. He just needs to post the rest of the parts list. It's a two-hole puncher.
