misterp Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Well, the kids had to fly home this weekend. But while they were here my daughter asked if I would help with her Girl Scouting car care merit badge, we had to keep a journal and photo log and these were some of the better pics; I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of the Girl Scouting merit badge guide, they make you go over *everything* aka beginning autoshop. Gotta start 'em young! Checking dipsticks: Learning about fuses: Experimenting with fuses & circuits: Little girl, big truck (can't turn the wheel without power steering): Checking out the power steering fluid: Climbing atop the engine compartment like a seasoned pro: Taking a break: Cleaning bugs with the clay bar: Reading the owner's manual is a TOTAL drag: Mr. P.
