A "Wet, Windy Monday!" and my Good Luck Charm
I slept in Monday morning and woke up with just enough time for a shower before we headed down for our walk. I did not check Facebook or emails before leaving so we did not know the other walkers had canceled. It was 47 degrees and raining pretty hard, but with our rain gear and umbrellas it wasn't too bad. It was an extra workout pushing the umbrella into the wind. After we got home and changed out of the wet clothes, I got the right side windows glued into the Cub. Not too much else went on around here, no pictures were taken, so I may have to look for an old one from this date when I finish this. Well, that didn't happen.
Tuesday, it was a much nicer walk today, just light rain. I got the left side windows and the windshield installed in the Cub. While I was waiting for the glue to dry, I did some sanding on the RV-9 that is next on the list. I spent about half the afternoon hunting for one aileron servo I had misplaced. Vera came out to the shop and I was showing her where I had been looking for it and I spotted it! She brought me good luck. This evening, I had a club meeting in Longview at Stuffy's, I almost made it through their chicken fried steak. It was a short meeting, so I had plenty of time to stop at Safeway for pop and gas. As normal, I wrote up the minutes as soon as I got home, which went fairly fast since it was such a short meeting. No picture so far today either, maybe I will go out tomorrow and take some of the Cub.
Wednesday, finally a picture! The Cub is all done, I took care of a bunch of minor details, then hunted all over for the exhaust stack I had made for it. I gave up and went in the house for a while, when I came back out, Vera said she would help me look. Once again, I found it in just a couple of minutes. The last thing was putting on the hub caps and I'll be darned if I couldn't find them either. After looking awhile I went to see if I had left them in the computer room. No luck there, and Vera came back out to help me again. While we were looking, I remembered some of the parts were in a plastic box. Vera found the box, it is part of lid on the tool box I had in the house while building the Cub. It was sitting there with the lid open which hid the plastic box mounted in the lid. She even pointed out the hub caps in the box to me. She is sure my good luck charm. I glued the hub caps on and took some pictures, then called it a night.
