Flying, Smoke and Kitfox

Wednesday 9-9-2020
Vera had bible study and the wind forecast looked pretty good so I went flying.  I made it a warbird day by taking the P-51, F-4 and the Corsair.  Of course I had the Skylane along to shoot touch and goes with.

It was a small group today, just five of us.  I took the five ingredient cookies that Vera had made out and let the guys sample them, they went over great.  Then I took the two ingredient peanut butter fudge I made out and it was a hit also.  I left fairly early as it was really hot out there.

When I came out of the shop this afternoon I noticed the sun looked almost red so I took a picture.  Of course the red didn't show but little did I know this was just a preview of things to come.

We could really smell the smoke today.  I worked on moving the TV in the motor home and installing a digital picture frame in it's place.  We picked up dinner at Burger King and went down to Lions Pride Park to eat.  As smoky as it was I was surprised to see fishermen set up on the other side.

I went out and took a picture of the smoke first thing this morning.  It also smelled pretty bad so I spent most of the day working on the Kitfox and the motor home TV.  We did make a run to Home Depot for some raceway to put the TV wiring in.

Smoke plus fog made it really bad this morning.
We got the TV and picture frame working today.  We are pretty happy with the way it turned out.
The screws I needed to attach the Kitfox's ailerons showed up today so I got them installed and the linkages made.  Now I just have to make covers for the aileron servos and the wings will be complete.

Smoke and fog again this morning but it didn't seem to smell as much as other days or maybe we are getting used to it.
We got a little rain last night but not enough to register on my rain gauge.
Debbie and Jordon stopped by for a short visit after Jordon's preschool class.
The sun tried to come out a few times today and we could actually see shadows once.  It has been an interesting week that was mostly spent in the house, shop or motor home all three have air filters running in them.
