It is Here!

Boy did I sleep last night, it was almost nine before I got up.  One of the first things I did was check the tracking on Vera's new Kindle and it was at the post office.  Her old one ran out of memory for the number of books she has downloaded.  Since it was 66 degrees out, we headed out for our walk and to pick up the mail.  After we got home, Vera started learning how to use the Kindle.
I headed out to the shop, but I noticed Ava, Harper, Jillian and Rielee playing at the fort, so I wandered over there to watch and talk with Dianne.  The girls got the water hose into the sandbox and when it got to be Harper's turn, the stiff hose slipped in her hand and it sprayed Jillian right in the face.  When she swung it away, she got Rielee.  I cracked up laughing, but the girls were not happy!
I also had a package at the post office today, my third battery for the F-4 showed up.  I put a Deans plug on it and started it charging while I planned out the mounts in the wing.  It was going good until I started looking for those black straps, I need them before I could glue the mounts down.  I hunted for them and my plastics cutter for a couple of hours, I knew that I had put them in a drawer just last week!  I finally decided to take a break at dinner time, hoping it would go better later.  After I ate and took a short break, I went back out and found the straps in the second drawer I tried.  I had to shorten the straps for this application, while I was doing that, there was my plastics cutter right in front of me!  I must have looked right at it a dozen times.  Things went good after that and after finishing the wing battery mounts I got started on the first step of making the battery mount for the battery in the nose before heading in for the night.
