Moon

James was stopping by early to leave his car while he went fishing, so I went out early to check the pellets in the shop stove.  On the way back I noticed the moon was showing up really clear so I went and got the camera.  I took a couple of pictures that looked pretty good with the camera on automatic.  I went in, downloaded them onto the computer and I could see they were over exposed.  I went back out and took a couple one stop under exposed and one at two stops under exposed.  This picture is the two stop under exposed one.  It would be a little sharper if I put the camera on the tripod, but it was cold out there and I didn't want to mess around any longer than I had to.  I had a nice visit with James and Dalton until Chris showed up to take them fishing.  I went online later and got a printed hard cover book of my 2015 blogs ordered.
I worked on the Lancaster bomber today, when landing it wants to drop a wing really bad.  Both wing tips are angled up which causes wash in instead of wash out making the tips stall first.  After checking out how other people corrected it, I decided to cut a vee groove in the bottom of the wing and bend the tip down in front to close it and create washout.
This is after I glued it and filled a few spots, most of the groove turned out about like the left end looks.
I was careful not to cut through the top of the wing, with the light hitting it right, you can see how it tipped the leading edge down.  When James, Dalton and Chris got back from fishing we visited for a while and before the boys left, they packed six bags of pellets in for me.  I have been going through them pretty fast during this cold weather.
