Football and Football

After flying three days out of four, I really slept last night, almost 9 hours.  After exercises, breakfast and emails, I started cleaning some of the shop so I would have room to bring the B-36 in and start detailing it.  I figured out a place for the fuselage, maybe tomorrow I will get a spot for the wing located.  I kept an eye on the babies sleeping sign each trip to the motor home and finally spotted it's absence, then the door was locked, after knocking a few times, I called Dianne with my cell phone.  We got a laugh out of that!  The twins started showing me stuff right away, then Ava played a trick on Steve by covering Elmo with her blanket and saying "Papa where is Elmo?".  She was really excited to show him.
They were playing catch when Harper sat on the ball to show off.  Shortly after that, they hauled out some books for me to read to them.  I was just getting ready to leave for James' football game, but I could not resist going through a couple of books with them.
James played really hard all game, here he is in the backfield tackling for a big loss.  He took some hard hits, but never let up.  The game ended up tied 6 to 6 and they went into OT.  During their possession it was an absolute downpour which did not help them and they lost 13 to 6.  During the game one of Michelle's former students asked "How come the flags are at half mast, did some one die?",  One of the other kids said "Al Davis", I loved that answer since the Raiders are one of my favorite teams.  We made a quick stop at Sears so I could pick up a pair of snap ring pliers, had dinner at Dairy Queen and headed home.  I went out to try the pliers and finished up some maintenance on the P-51 before coming in to watch Monday Night Football.  Right in the middle of the game there was a knock on the door, it was Steve with a piece of German Chocolate cake, boy was that good.  Then the Lions won, so my night was complete.
