LOL, they say you are what you eat, or something like that. Me I keep removing the carpet on the workbench and then after a bit get tired of hardwood and go back to carpet.

Busy busy aren't we. Shutters sound good. I've been working on the laundry room, last room of the house to reno. Regrouted the tile (not going to tear out the tile here, had enough of that doing the rest of the house), built a cabinet, counter over the machine, boxed the vent pipe, still have to retrim, new closet door and repaint it all.

 

We will be going to Victoria Bryant State Park again this coming weekend. We went in late spring/early summer and really had a great time. Very nice park.

 

Morning gang, happy camping .......... racing in Chicago today

 

Morning Savage Truckers & Trouble makers....

Today's news story...........



Y'all be safe out there....

 

I coulda told'em that, hehehe

 

The tepee is probably for peace pipe activities! Every music festival needs a smoking lodge.

 

Aye Aye Sir !!

 

Thats where the hazing takes place eh Matt, lol

 

Yeah, even when you lose an engine, you can glide all the way to the scene of the crash.

 

....or maybe glide to a great landing..........

Years ago in Blacksburg VA, I was flying a Cherokee 140 with 3 passengers. We had just taken off and the engine coughed and died. As I was checking fuel tank selector...Electric fuel pump booster on....I was turning to another runway and set the bird on the inactive runway....
Everything happened so quick......I didn't even have time to mess my pants.......

 

Good morning gang,

Had a great time at the music fest yesterday, did not visit the smoking lodge.

 

I was fortunate enough to have never actually lost an engine, but my instructor had a sick sense of humor and was always pulling throttle at the worst possible times to simulate a lost engine. Sometimes, it was in or near the pattern and ended in a textbook landing. Other times, we scared livestock in a field somewhere as he wouldn't give my throttle back until I was in my flare. It was fun and great practice, but I always hoped the engine would come from idle to full power without a hiccup. Once, when he did that, I flew under power lines that neither of us saw crossing a 4 lane highway at dusk.

Tim, glad you enjoyed the festival. Too bad about missing the lodge.

 

The good old times Doug........I really enjoyed being a flight instructor.....
I really miss those days.......

I gotta go for now... I have to finish up my work list here in Winnett. Later my Friend

 

I too miss those days. Flying used to be affordable.
Behave yourself today Roy.

 

Good morning gang!
We had the pleasure of attending an Eagle Scout ceremony last night. One of our boys (in the troop, not literally my boys) made it to Eagle. It was outstanding ceremony and the boy worked his tail off. We were ALL very proud of him and it helped motivate mine as well

Have a great day guys!
