My big job now is watering, with this hot weather the plants on the deck really get dry if I miss a day. I finished up the repairs on the little Cobra helicopter today and even got in a test flight. Boy, was I surprised when the blades were in track and it was flying great after just a couple of minor programming changes in the radio. I had a nice talk with my friend Bob about the crow in his transmitter and him eating it. This afternoon, I got the Piper PA-12 out of the motor home and changed speed controls. I had a helicopter speed control in it and they start slow to prevent damage to the gears. That doesn't work to well when it is in a plane and you are trying to shoot touch and goes.
This evening, we went to the El Tapatio in Rainier to help celebrate Mik's mother Margaret's birthday. We had a good time visiting with everyone and finding out what they had been doing this summer. The food was great and there was lots of it! I think Vera came home with enough for both of us tomorrow.
