Thinking Alike!

I ran out of cereal this morning, so about 11:30 we headed to town.  Boy are we thinking alike, I was out in the shop making a battery mount for the F-4 and started getting hungry, I thought that since we had to go to Fred Meyer for my favorite cereal, it would be nice to have their panini for lunch.  I went in the house and before I could mention it, Vera said "since we are going to Fred Meyer, we could have a panini!".  Boy was I surprised, and yes, the panini was great!  When we finished shopping there, we stopped at Harbor Freight, before I made it to the store, I ran into Doug Walden who used to live down the road a ways.  We had a nice visit catching up with how we were and what we had been doing.  From there, we went to the Kelso Safeway and did some more shopping.  On the way home, I stopped to pick up the mail, I knew my new mouse was there, along with a new plane that I couldn't pass up, it was marked down from $99 to $40, it should be a cute one.

Here is the new mouse, it sits more upright, so you don't have to twist your arm to use it.  I am using it as I write this and it is not taking long to get used to it.

This afternoon, I finished up the battery mount for the front battery in the F-4.  It took a few tries, but it finally fit.  I got slowed down by the bandsaw, the blade came off, so I put it back on and adjusted the tracking.  I was on the last cut when it broke, so I had to do the whole thing over again with the new blade.

I started on the mount for the nose gear steering servo after I finished the battery mount.  I got the servo mounted in the piece and mounted it to the nose gear mounting plate before calling it a night.  I also stuck the retract air tank in to make sure it would clear everything.  Not too many jobs left and it will be ready for a test flight.
