Default A gearhead's Halloween
My wife, Tiffany bought me a pumpkin to carve with the kids. I couldn't think of anything to carve off hand, so I went with my fall back. A C3.

Obviously, it's not that great, but I did make the pattern myself. It was tricky to figure out how to carve the line drawing.

Hey, that came out great! No way I could pull that off. Geez, I still draw with crayons.

Really? You're too modest. Nice job!

The pumpkin looks great.

Your girls may not appreciate it, but my wife and daughter loved it.

Nice work with the knife! But, the smell of the pumpkin lid being burnt by that candle doesn't remind me of a C3 at all....
