A nice day of flying at Toledo

 8-6-2020  We went to the Vancouver Costco this morning and took advantage of the senior hours from nine to ten.  It went great and we were back home shortly after eleven.  After unloading I spent most of the remaining day loading up to fly on Thursday.  I had my pedometer in my pocket and we walked 4000 steps in Costco.  Of course I remembered I wanted some oil that was on sale when we were in the pharmacy and the oil was at the opposite corner of the warehouse.  Then Vera asked one of the Costco employees where the air freshener was and naturally is was clear on the other side from where we were.

We got to the field shortly after eight this morning.  It was after lunch before I remembered to get the camera out and take some pictures.  The first thing I saw was a group discussing what repairs were needed on the boxes.
There was a pretty good turnout today, I counted 6 rigs there most of the day.
Ken was flying his P-47 Thunderbolt today and he made some great landings that had everyone applauding.
Teresa has just taken off with her Timber.  On the bench is my F-15 that I put the new fan into.  It flies and sounds great now.
Audrey is shooting a touch and go with Mt St Helens in the background.  It is nice to have the ladies flying, I didn't get a picture when Victoria was flying.
There is not much snow left on Mt St Helens.
After we got home I set up the scaffolding and started cleaning the top of the nose cap.  I found all kinds of dirt around the INTRUDER decals, I don't think it has ever had a good cleaning.
