Big Day

What a nice day! I got off to a slow start and slept in until about 9:00. By the time I did my exercises, and got cleaned up it was really nice outside. While Vera cleaned around the rhubarb which is coming up. I went over to see the twins. They were out enjoying the sunshine and I got to hold Ava for quite a while. It was funny to watch her suck on her shirt, then my shirt, I came home with a wet cuff. After icing the knee for a few minutes it was outside again to clean the pond.


Vera did most of the heavy work, but the steam is flowing normally again. The filter was so plugged that there was just a trickle coming down. After that we sat on the deck by the pond and enjoyed the sunshine. Some where in this time frame there was lunch, more ice and a short nap.


I decided to do some trimming on a helicopter I had put a new radio in.

I had to look at this one twice when I saw it, I did not fall down. I got down there so I could check the tracking on the heli's blades. Let me tell you it was a lot harder getting up than getting down there. I played with it until I ran the battery down.

While Vera had the camera out she went around taking some pictures of flowers. There are quite a few in bloom now and it really smells good by some of them.

Hope you got to enjoy the nice day!

Building Planes

Boy is it cold, 14 when I came in from the shop tonight. The cold weather did make the waterfall look nice, but it froze the duck in the ice. We have had that decoy forever is seems, we found it years ago while looking for a lost airplane at the Goble field.

What I have been doing the last couple of days when I have time. The right wing for the 108 inch B-36. It is taking longer to plan out the details than it will probably take to build it. Perfect project for these cold days.

Today we did our Christmas cards and got them mailed. UPS showed up with more presents and one of Vera's was at the post office. My team won on Monday Night Football so all is well around here.
Therapy on my shoulder is helping, I slept all of last night without it waking me up. Another appointment tomorrow and then off for lunch somewhere with Vera.
