The weeks sure go by fast!

Saturday we went flying at Toledo again.  Our friend Horty had a couple of new planes he wanted me to test fly.  The old timer on the right looks like it has a gas engine but it is powered by an electric motor hidden under the dummy gas engine.  It flew great after a small adjustment to the elevator.  The Ultra Stick had a bad aileron servo so it didn't get flown.  I got a bunch of flights on the Pilatus Porter and the Convergence today.  Today's high was only 47 degrees but the wind was light so it was fairly comfortable if you were dressed right, which I was!

Toward the end of the day the sun was hitting Mt St Helens so I had to take a couple of pictures.

This is Mt St Helens at almost maximum zoom on the camera, there is quite a bit of snow up there.

I have been working on a storage area in the shop.  I had an old drawing table in this corner with a ton of things piled on it.  I couldn't get to anything so I decided to build in some shelving.  As I was cleaning it out I found three kits I had forgotten I had.  When I finally got the table uncovered I started tearing it apart only to discover it was put together with spiral nails that refused to come out.  I ended up sawing it up and burning it.  I have all the shelves built now and I hung the bi-fold door today, of course I wasn't paying attention and put it in upside down the first time!  If things go right tomorrow I will get the sheetrock hung.  Time sure flies by, last week on Monday I got my blog caught up,  here it is a week later and I am having to do the same thing.
