I got the P-40 Warhawk finished except for the cockpit so I studied some pictures and made up this instrument panel to put in it.  It is now all done and ready for the final checkout before it's test flight.

Our water lilies continue to bloom and are bigger than other years.

James came up today and we had a great visit as always.

Today we went down to Pie Trio's Pizzeria to help celebrate Mik's mom's 85th birthday.  It had been quite a while since we have had their pizza and it tasted great. 

Here is Margret with Mik, Michelle and James.  There was a nice turnout of family and friends, some of whom she hadn't seen for a while.

It was such a nice day we went home the long way via Hazel Dell Rd and saw this old barn.  I found some information on Facebook that it was built in the 1920's.

The hanging basket from Mik, Michelle and James is still growing and looks better every day.

Debbie and Josh had a birthday party for Jordon today, hard to believe he is five already!

Jordon spent most of the afternoon in the small pool which was much warmer.

Jacob was relaxing in it for a while also.

Jordon is blowing out the candles as his great grandma Anita watches.

Jordon is opening his presents as Jacob inspects the last one he opened.

I had a doctors appointment at Kaiser and had to pick up a new prescription afterwards.  I realized the Pharmacy would be a little different picture for my blog.

On the way home we stopped a Lions Pride Park to check out the fishermen and got to watch the family on the right hunt for a Geo Cache. 

A new solar lantern for the West deck showed up today to replace the one that quit.  I like it better because it is on all the time where the old one had a motion sensor.

This is how it looks from the Southeast corner of the house. 

While I was at it I decided to take a picture of the front deck also.

Today was the family garage sale in Bob's shop.  There didn't seem to be as much stuff as other years.  We made $17 which made me happy considering how much stuff we got rid of.

I spent the last two days installing a filter and Ultra Violet light system in the motor home.  Now we can drink the water from the main tank instead of bringing bottled water.

We went up to Faro Field for some flying and a potluck they were having this afternoon.

I hadn't seen this bunch of people for quite a while so I spent quite a bit of time visiting with them

This is the potluck table before the pulled pork, turkey and brownies were added.

This is our friend Sonny's planes and in the background there was a ten day Medieval Festival going on. 

This is Sonny bringing his plane back after a flight.

James had the hot pole on their fishing trip today.  He had his limit in about fifteen minutes.  He said that he got to run the boat some after that.

Mik caught a really nice one!

The moon looked nice just above the horizon tonight and it is a little different from the full moon pictures I normally take.

Good Bye Dish!  After realizing we had only used the Dish system three times last month I called up and canceled our service.  $132 dollars for 3 thirty minute shows seemed a little expensive.  I bought an antenna, preamps and cable for about twice our monthly bill and the rest of the year will be free.  It seems like there is way more things we enjoy to watch on YouTube also.
