Memorial Day

James, Parker and I went over this morning to see the F-15 flyover at the Cemetery.  Not much to see, James got the only picture and it was just two dark forms in the clouds.  They were supposed to be flying at 1000 feet and 400 mph, I would guess the base of the overcast was 2000 feet and they stayed in or above the cloud layer.
After we got home, the boys played Xbox for quite a while.  I went out to the shop and finished covering the B-36's fuselage.   It started to warm up in the afternoon and they went for a 4 wheeler ride.  I decided to mow, when I went to start the mower, it would not stay running.  I finally tracked it down to the  seat switch.  I put a jumper in and started mowing, James stopped me and asked if I wanted him to do it.   It sounded good to me so I let him have at it.
 I can tell he is growing up, he did a great job.  He could see spots that needed to be gone over twice without me telling him.  He is also stronger, as he can maneuver the mower better than last year.  A year ago there were areas he never did because it steered too hard.  They picked up James at 5 on the way back from Olympia.  Mik's brother was doing fine after getting the stint.
As I was going out to the shop this evening, I noticed the sunset, so I went back in and got the camera.  This is looking toward the East, the prettiest sunsets are some times behind you.
