Monday and Tuesday

Monday

I did some unloading of the motor home, puttered in the shop cleaning up the mess I made getting the B-36 and Dick's plane ready to go.  There is sure a lot more room to move around with the B-36 out of there.  Just after lunch, I checked the tracking on a couple of packages I was expecting and they were both at the Post Office.  I went down to get them and got a bonus, Vera's book was there.  I wore my Brikenstocks the rest of the day, this pair fit a little better.

Tuesday

Today, I got going on the P-51B that I started a while back.  The paint did not match in places and I had stopped on it until I found a solution.  Krylon came out with a new flat camouflage color that was just what I wanted, we had picked up a can of it at Evergreen Paint a couple of weeks ago.  I took all the bubbles out of the covering, sanded it lightly and started spraying parts, so far it is turning out great.

James had a game this evening, so we ran down to watch it after dinner.  Man was the wind blowing down there, I was sure glad my parka and stadium blanket were in the Blazer.  Even with a bum knee, James played good, they had one bad inning, where the other team had a two out rally and scored a bunch of runs.  James pitched the last inning, I think he only faced 3 batters, two fly outs and one strike out.  After we got home, I did a little more painting on the Mustang's cowl.  Of course as I was taking off the masking tape a piece touched the fresh paint and left a mark.  I touched it up and we will see how it looks tomorrow.  If it needs repainting, I have to wait 3 days for the paint to cure.
