No Pictures!

3-21-2020
We adjusted the tension of the awning springs today.  I found a method online that was pretty safe.  I also ordered a new right end assembly as it appears the ratchet was damaged during the Mojavi blow out.  Two friends stopped by on the way home from flying at Toledo to buy the Voodoo I had left over from the Lacey swap meet.

I got another couple of posts in my blog done today.  I also repaired the BOT left wing where the original owner had install a weight that wasn't needed, it flew better after I took it out.  James' laptop showed up today and I got it set up.

We have gotten lots of rain and hail the last couple of days.  I had to update this post with this picture that I found after publishing it.  I had a big session of Arizona blogs today, then I went out and worked on the Kitfox this evening.  The first thing I discovered was the rudder was the wrong size.  I ended up adding a balsa strip onto the top.  We are holding up pretty well with quarantine, Vera is doing a lot of reading, I have my blog and planes.

Well, we did our grocery shopping online at Fred Meyer and then went to their pick up area to get it today.  The young lady who brought it out was very friendly and efficient at loading it into the trunk.  Other than that we have been staying home most of the time.  Vera is knitting and reading while I try to catch up with my blog and build airplanes.  I called Pam today and we had a nice chat with her.  It is always fun to talk to her.

I had a busy day, I worked on the Arizona blog posts, the Kitfox, cleaned up a bunch of cardboard and started digging a ditch to the storage container.  I also got the recycling moved out to the Blazer and took the garbage can down to the road.  One of the first things I did on the Kitfox today was put a finger through the balsa sheeting below the stabilizer.  I got that repaired and decided to fiberglass it on both sides.  I put two ounce fiberglass cloth on both sides so it is probably safe from my fingers now.  My valve extensions for the rear tires came today now I just need a nice day to install them.  I looked through all of our pictures and could not find anything for these four days.  That is a pretty rare thing for Vera and I.
