So here is the deal...Mr. Sgrignoli and I have decided NOT to test on our unit for Mexico because we didn't like the direction of the unit and the big break we had during the long weekend.  You will be expected to know the material as it will pop up in future tests. 

On to Canada! 

Any questions, please let me know.

Class News for the Week of October 10th

Hey gang!  Welcome back after a long break.  It was an up and down break to say the least with all the bad news from the weekend, but our Mustang family is strong and always bounces back.

We have a short week and will be winding down Mexico this week.  We will not test on the unit and instead will begin Canada next week.  Mr. Sgrignoli and I were not happy with where our unit was heading and we have decided to toss it in the garbage can.  We will use information from the unit, but again, will not test on it.

Hang in there and let's have a good week.  Any questions, let me know.

WIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
