Dang, I had a day of hard work planned but instead it looks like I’m doing a checkout on a type I’ve never flown before. If this keeps up I’ll have to scrap my whole day and fly biplanes or something...

Sir! Your positivity in the face of such hardship is truly inspirational. I can only aspire to reach such levels of fortitude.
(Lucky @#%$@, I got yardwork and a trip to Costco with the wife)

trip to Costco

There are few worse fates in life.

Pictures! We need biplane porn!!

PS Costco ain't all bad:



Sure, it's not Five Guys, but ...

I’m just happy to see California dropping the mask mandate!

I was shocked the other day walking in to a Chicago establishment, I figure all the stupid Lib leaning states /cities were still locked up tighter than the Col’s wallet.

Me drinking my buddy’s beer, laying on his couch, while I wait for our wives to get back from church.

Now, now, be nice. I worship at the Church Of The Internal Combustion Engine.

PS Glad to see the masks gone, too. They didn't help, and they made people sick.

Well, mission scrubbed due to wx. No biggie, I just went back to Plan A which was to chip away at making my own biplane a little more finished. One step forward, two steps back yesterday as I mocked up a linkage and found there was no way it was going to work. Slept on it and I have a much more elegant solution that requires I head to the machine shop this afternoon.

I’m probably a little weird to think this is my idea of a vacation.

I admire the energy of youth. I have given up on Wx. Too old. I don't do it any more.



PS Vacation isn't about resting your body or mind. It is about change.

Changing tires. Changing brakes. Changing oil. You know.

Had to run an errand today and driving is lame, sooo…..
