It was love at first sight!

We hit the road this morning just before eight and stopped at Subway to pick up sandwiches for lunch today.  Our next stop was Del's farm store for weed killer and ferrous sulphate.  We arrived at the Goble field about nine and were the first ones there.  I got everything unloaded and started spraying so I could get it on before it got too hot.  When I finished spraying, there was no one else there yet, so I hooked up the spreader with my Red Neck hitch (two "C" clamps) and started in.  I hope you can see it in the insert at the top right of the picture, it worked great!
Just as I was spreading the last load, people started showing up.
Before long we were all flying, this is our friend Dave flying his Quad.  It was amazing, he could just throw it into the air and it would level its self and go into a hover, it also has lights and he flies it at night.  I flew the Sukhoi that I put the digital servos into and I really like the way they work!  We ended up having 10 members there for the meeting and got some summer activities planned.  By two, it was hot enough that I was uncomfortable out in the sun flying, so we loaded up and headed home.  We made another stop at Del's for more ferrous sulphate for LCRC, then headed home on the Pleasant Hill Road.  As we came to the Pleasant Hill nursery, I asked Vera if she wanted to get plants for the deck.  She thought that was a great idea, so we went in and ended up with a couple of dozen plants.  After we got home, I unloaded, hooked up the power, covered the trailer and headed in for the night.  I was messing around on the computer thinking about doing my blog when there was a knock on the door.  It was Jeff and Tina on their way home from a swap meet.  After we visited for a little while and heard all about the swap meet, Jeff wanted me look at a helicopter he had gotten.  He opened his trailer, got the helicopter out and I looked it over, it was nice one, then I noticed an F-4 Phantom buried in there also.  Jeff got it out and it was love at first sight for me, we worked out a trade and I now have another Phantom.  What do you think of the surprise Bob?
Don't I look happy!  It was a great end to a busy day.
