Flying and Painting























The fog had lifted to a couple of hundred feet when I started flying today.  I didn't have any trouble making the plane disappear into it, then spin down out of it.
We were surprised that there ended up being a dozen people there.  The sun came out about noon and everyone started shedding their coats.
I think Joey is a little put out with Doug for tying him to the benches while he flew.
With the Intruder in the shop we used the Mitsubishi and I brought three of my smaller planes.  The Electrastreak on the right with the wing off is over twenty years old.
We stopped at Betty's in Toledo for lunch and then took Jackson Hwy home.  This is the view from the Exit 57 overpass on our way home.
I have been wanting to repaint the shop door frame for a couple of years so I started scraping it when we got home.  Just after I finished it, Doug stopped by with the chair I had left at the field.  We had a nice visit with him about the Damon motor home he had.
After I finished scraping all of the shop eaves I could reach I put a coat of Kilz primer on them.
I have the ladder clamped to the shop with a couple of C-clamps so it is safer than it looks.
I did some scraping and caulking on the roof before going in to watch Thursday Night Football.
