Upgrade Day

On our walk, Vonda mentioned she could record 5 shows at a time with her new DVR.  We often have conflicts when we are recording, so I checked with Dish Network and sure enough they had a new system out that will record 6 at a time.  I bet you would never guess, that it will be installed next Wednesday!  Our phone quit taking incoming calls yesterday, so while I was online checking on that, I discovered we could get faster Internet.  Now Tuesday is booked up as well while they come install the new modem and set it up.  Funny thing is, our bill went down for the next 5 years, I think I will upgrade again then.  I had seen an ad for chocolate peanut butter on TV, Michelle and I talked about it during dinner and I found some at Fred Meyer last night.  I tried it today and I must say, it is pretty good, it was my Noon time snack.  This afternoon, the phone started working again, so I called and cancelled the repair ticket on it, not sure what is going on, maybe they fixed it from the office.
I worked on the Turbo Bee this afternoon after I was all done with the upgrades, I put the motor and mount in to take this picture.  The only problem being, the super glue I put on to strengthen the tube was apparently still not cured, because it would not come back out.  I decided it was OK and finished gluing it in.  After the photo session, I painted the inside white and stunk myself out of the shop.
When I got the plane, the wings did not look strong enough for the way I fly, so I added a carbon fiber spar and braced up the ribs with carbon fiber strands.  With the rain that is forecast, I may get it covered this weekend.

PS:  Pretzel Sticks dipped in the chocolate peanut butter are really good!
