Saturday
Saturday was a pretty laid back day for us, I messed around on the computer most of the morning, Vera was busy reading a mystery she liked. I finally made it out to the shop and worked on the Mustang's gear doors, the second inner door is giving me a hard time. The corner does not want to lay down right. I finally clamped it to a piece of aluminum bent the way I wanted it and left it on top of the stove all night. I had a couple of nice visits with Bob on the phone this afternoon before coming in for the night.

I was back at the Mustang gear doors again this morning. I made another adjustment to my aluminum jig, clamped the door to it again and set it in front of the stove. I did some painting on the Mustang elevators, flaps and ailerons while I was waiting for the door to form. I heard some little voices, went to the door and there were the twins coming to visit. I showed Steve how my gear doors worked on the Mustang wing, the girls were not too impressed and headed back to the magnets and lights. Ava had the goose neck light set so she could see to put screws into the holes in one magnet.
After they left, I decided to make gear doors for the Bonanza from plywood since I couldn't find any plastic in town. The job went great and I was done in a couple of hours. Now I can hardly wait to fly it again and make a low pass with the gear down. The gear door for the Mustang finally turned out right, now I can go on to the next step. We had a prime rib roast tonight with roasted carrots and potato's for dinner, it tasted great. Now we are looking forward to a beef stew with the leftovers. As I do this, I am watching the Gaelic Storm play some good St. Patrick's Day music, nice music to type by.
I hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day!
