Time to catch up!

Friday the 24th. was a pretty laid back day for Vera and I.  We made a mail run, Vera read and I worked on the P-51 a little and messed around with the computer.

Saturday the 25th was more of same, except when we made the mail run, we saw Steve tending his fire.  After picking up the mail (my new Servos came!) we went for a ride to check out the fishermen by Lions Pride Park and we ended up at the Kelso Safeway.  Pepsi had a sign that said "Buy Two, get Three Free", so we got 10!  We took the frontage road all the way down, then came back over Pleasant Hill road.  After that it was more reading for Vera, planes and computer for me.

Sunday the 26th, we went to church, out front they had a remembrance cross that had flowers that were put on by church members in memory of loved ones.  It was a nice service and we got to visit with several friends.

After church, Michelle brought James and Dalton up to work on mouse trap cars for school.  They will get points for how far it goes and a report on the building of them.  The picture is James' car, he wanted a burnt look, so he attacked the side with a butane lighter.  There is also a big burned spot on the bottom where things got a little out of hand.

Half way through the project James found my stash of smoke bombs.  After a lunch break, they finished up their cars.

Here is James' friend Dalton test running his car, for some reason, it wanted to turn hard left!  James had made a couple of test runs on his earlier.  The first run was about 18 feet, then he put a different string on it and it went 33 feet.  Both runs were uphill, so on level ground it should really go!  After running them to the show, I did some more work on the P-51 before calling it a night.
