Wednesday Flying

Tuesday

Not too much to report about Tuesday, I spent the day and most of the evening working on the motor home.  We walked, then stopped at Bredfield's for parts to do an idea I had for holding up the chairs while we are going to the field.  I changed the oil and filter, greased it and then flushed the radiator and filled it with new antifreeze.  I also pulled the engine cover and found a broken vacuum line.  After replacing that, I did a little adjusting and it is running much better.  When I got that all done, I was done for the night, so the chair idea got put on hold.

Wednesday

I didn't sleep that great last night, I was kind of stiff and sore from crawling around under the motor home.  It was a little cold, so I put off heading for the field and put in the parts to hold the chairs, it worked out great!  We had a visitor checking out our flying today.  I have seen lots of birds on this limb through the years.

I only flew 3 airplanes today, but I had a great time!  I got a walk in by going out into the field and looking for a lost helicopter.  It is tough to find a green helicopter in the grass, the member that lost it last Sunday pointed out a line he thought it was on and I walked way out into the field.  No luck, so I did a zigzag pattern on the way back and still no luck.  The guy that lost it is on vacation this week, so you know how he has been spending it, he even bought a metal detector to try and find it.  I quit a little earlier than normal today, I was still a little sore from yesterday.

This evening we went out and sat by the pond watching the birds.  There have sure been a lot of Gold Finches this year.  They really kept an eye on us and usually hid on the side away from us while eating.

Vera has been trying to figure out what this bird is for the last week or so, having a close up picture ruled out one of our ideas.
