Meet the Mustangs 2010

This video is of the freshman boys coming out of the tunnel. 

It is a bit blurry, but it's great to see  Landon's first tunnel run as a Mustang!

Here's Landon - clearly not paying attention to mom in the stands trying to snap his picture! 

Now he's got his head down - still in an unphotographable position.

Finally we can see his face!

He's #75.

Are You Ready for Some Football?

Thursday - August 19, 2010 vs. Fredericksburg
Landon's first "real" scrimmage (against an opponent) as a high school freshman!

Landon is #45.

'Tis the Season

Football Season, that is.









Landon started 2-a-days this week and had a squad scrimmage on Friday.












 

He played offense and defense, and we heard the coaches yelling at the other players to get more aggressive because "Spruiell is in on every play!"





His first "real" scrimmage is Saturday, August 14th at Hays.

 We tested the urban legend of painting a car with less than $50 of equipment using Rustoleum paint and foam rollers on a fender of Justin's old 1950 Dodge Cornet.

The original idea for this came from a message board post here: moparts: paint job on a budget!? 

We also found some good information at the Instructables website

and an entire forum dedicated to this method - Rolled On.

We mixed Sail Blue and White to get a light blue shade.       

 Next, we sanded the bondo and rusty parts of the fender.

Then, we rolled on the first two coats of paint thinned with mineral spirits.

Here is the final coat before we did the last wetsanding and waxing.  It looks pretty good!
