Wing and Computer Repair, Snow and Birthday

2-6-2025

I was moving my Airacobra wing the other day and put my thumb through the leading edge.  Today I started repairing it by putting some reinforcement pieces behind the sheeting.

James came up today and brought me a load of pellets for the shop.

Jordon had a basketball game at Coweeman Middle School.  We had a great time watching the game.  I saw him make a nice bounce pass to a teammate, he gets better every time we go to a game.

The hard drive on my computer has been failing to boot up at times.  I opened it up today to find out what size and type of hard drive it was.  Then I got on Amazon and ordered the highest rated SSD they had.  I got my laptop out and started using it until the new one shows up.

James came up during lunch at school and ate his lunch here.  We really enjoy these visits.

It started snowing today and by 1 PM this is how it looked by our driveway.  We didn't go out in it, this picture was taken by the county public works department

UPS came before the snow started so I was able to install the new SSD today.  Boy did it make a difference, the computer boots up much faster now.

I took this picture at 2:17 PM, the snow had really came down fast.  We had almost 3 inches by the time we went to bed.

This is how it looked the next day at about 8 AM, we had picked up about another inch of snow.

This picture was taken out the living room window towards Abernethy.

Vera found a recipe for Old Fashion Rhubarb Cake online and made it.  It turned out great and I have been having it every day for lunch.

Today was my 86th birthday.  We spent a quiet day at home puttering on the computer.  Then we met Bev, Michelle, James and Mik at the El Compadre for dinner to celebrate Bev's and my birthday.  Bev's in January, but she got sick so our plans to celebrate it then got canceled.  We had a great evening together reminiscing and enjoying great food.

James came up and replenished my pellet supply and brought his lunch to eat here.

I didn't take any pictures today but a friend we used to fly with sent me this picture of my Aero Master biplane when we were flying near St Helens OR on the Luttrell's field.  In the background is Cliff who ran the hobby shop in Longview.  This picture was probably taken in the early 70's.
