My first POST! (Initial Plan)

Day 2 of Grad Project- I made an overview of what I did and put a short rough draft of what I plan on doing in this class...

Yesterday I started my search for an engine from a junkyard, but by the time I got home they were all closed. Erin said she knows someone who can help, so I am hoping she will help me find one. Thanks Erin!
