Sleeping in is good!

After the busy weekend, I slept in until about 9, no walk this morning, it was raining pretty good then.  I checked my emails and the fans for my helicopter speed control were in, so we made a run down to pick them up.  I puttered in the shop with the fans and a clock movement I got on the same order to replace one that quit.

We were looking at all the things that are blooming and from the bedroom window the lilac and apple tree looked great so I took a few pictures.  Later we were trying to figure out different types of dogwood trees, there is a dogwood along our walk that stays in bloom all summer, ours just blooms in the spring, I took some pictures of our dogwood tree and also the magnolia which has gotten big enough to look really nice.

I have been noticing my P-51 would not stay in trim on the elevator, which is important when you are making 100+ mph passes 3 or 4 feet off the runway.  I took it in from the motor home, opened it up and found the elevator servo was worn with quite a bit of slop.  I ordered some new ones this afternoon with ball bearing shafts and digital amplifiers.  They are coming priority mail, so I will be able to check it out next weekend.  I also ordered some LED tail lights for the trailer, because I noticed when we were hauling the mower last week that they were a little dim.  There is lots of wire between them and the motor home, so the lower current of the LED's should help.  Funny weather again today, rain, wind and sunshine if you had a little patience.
