Lawn Mowing

Thursday

Thursday was pretty laid back around here, I worked on the Mustang until Vera told me the small pond pump was making weird noises.  The water was low and it was sucking air, so I filled it.  I have been meaning to clean the bigger pond ever since the leaves started falling, so that was my next project.  My arm was getting pretty tired by the time I got all the leaves out, well most of them!  Then it was back to the Mustang trying to get the radiator outlet right.  I finally gave up and went in and watched Thursday Night Football.

Friday

What a nice day, it got off to a good start when UPS showed up with that missing Christmas present, now all we have to do is wrap them.  I worked on the Mustang for a little while, then I took a break for a mail run and lunch at BK, it was so nice that we sat in the car with the windows down and ate while we watched people and cars come and go at BK.  When we got home, I decided to mow and pick up the last of the leaves.  Boy are the baskets of wet leaves heavy!  The lawn looked great when I got done!

After dinner, I went back out and worked on the Mustang some more.  Things went great this time and all the basic construction is done.  Tomorrow, I hope to get the servo mounted that moves the outlet scoop.  I also need to order a roll of covering to refinish it with.  I am planning on mixing the throttle and landing gear channels to operate it.  My plan is to have it open as the throttle opens when the landing gear is up.  That way it will be closed with the gear down and will not be in the way on the ground or when I am handling it.
