I'll let you decide who is Tim and who is Al:

The idea is to cut out this window in order to insert a window air conditioning unit to cool beer:

PERFECTION (with condenser removed...):

Zion Lutheran Church, Bancroft, NE

This past week, Phil took several of us to a small, but beautiful church in rural Bancroft. You can always click on any image for a larger version:

I had never seen a church with a yellow interior, but with the sun shining in, it was very pleasant:

Notice the nice yellow pine (?) woodwork:

The pulpit is so high, Phil says you are on eye level with the balcony:

Bancroft, v2.0

I am in Bancroft for the break, hoping to do a little studying (if Phil doesn't have me doing chores for two weeks).

Here I am bright-eyed and bushy tailed just one week into Greek:

This is what my vocabulary stack looks like tonight...I think I am about at 440-475 words. Yikes.

All of this, and we haven't even gotten to Participles or Third Declension (both will be this whole week). See you all on the other side!
